Thelr Strength and Value Ascertained-A Large Impure and Unwholesome Alum Must Go. Ofeially her The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com- misgioner, Gen. S, H. Hurst, has made publie (Circular No. 6) the results of the Commission’s vestigation of Vak- ing powder. This Commission was formed by the Iegislature, with in- structions to make an examination of the food supply of the State, and to give a report of such examination to the public. The examination of the baking powders was made by Prof. H. A. Webber, State Chemist, and, re- lating as it does to an article of daily use in the food of almost everyone, is of particular interest. The rather startling fact is brought out by the report that of the thirty different brands of baking powder an- alyzed, composing about all’ those sold in the State, twenty of them are made from alum, 4 substance declared by the highest medical authorities to be injur- ipus to h h when used in food. The Commissioner classifies the bak ing powders into three gencral divi ions, according to their value: 1st. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders; 2d. Phosphate Baking Powders; 8d. Alum Buaking Powder The object of baking powd mixed in* the flour and subjec to moisture, to generate a leavening gas in the dough, which will raise the bread and cause it to be porous and light. The Commissioner explains that the best baking powder is that which, the in- rredients being healthful, gives off the argest amount of leavening gas and leaves the smallest amount of residuum in tho bread. A small amount of ca bonate nmonin, which is conside healthful, is used in some of the cream of tartar powders to give them a higher strength. The Commission say that pure alum is undoubtedly a hurtful salt, and that the resultantsultsfromits com- bination with soda as formed in the bread, can scarcely be less hurtful, Tho report ranks the powders and shows the amount in each of inert resultants, which in using it would appear as resi- duum in the bread, asfollows: CILEAM OF TARTAR POWDERS ne. or I 1 2.

The large amount of matter or residuum _in both the phosphate and alum powders will be noted. This in the phosphate powders is largely of ime; i alum powdors it is chiefly 1l be gratifying to the pub- Tic to observe that the powder in most general use, the Royal, is also the pur- est. I comparing the first two powders on the list, for instance—the Royal and Price’s—the inert matter in Price’s n to be about five in seven more nin the former, a difference of 71 87 por cont, the Royal being pul than Price’s by a corvesponding figure. The carbonic or avening gas pro- duced by tho powders indicatos their strengtht and M R T may be ascortuined by considering the amount of this gas in connection with their inert matter or residuum as shown above. The higher the percentage of gas and the lower the percentage of residuum the better the baking pow- der. These percentages, as found in some of the most familiar powders, are given as follows: ]1’.-.- Cent. of Per Cent. of Name, aving Gus, Residuum. R 3 11.80 i St 1. IR 10. Del 10.

Cooks Favorite, Alum.. 5.80. 3 One on, Alum, . b.75. 58.03 With the foregoing explanation the study of these figures will readily give consumers & knowledge of the compar: tive value of the different brands. To illustrate with the precentages given > two powders hefore compared: the vl containing 11.8 partsof leavening 10.5 in Price's, its excess of strennth is 1.3 in 10.5, or 12.4 per cont Royal is therefore 1240 per cent w5 well us 71 per cent purer the powders can be computed in like manner. Chief Galligan is Satisfied. A roporter for the Beg met Chief Galligan yesterday and askod him what he Lad t with reference to the opinion that the fire de- purtment was inadequately equipped to suc cessfully contend with fives in the heart of the city. He replied that he had not been yaising any disturbance wbout the matter. *1 have all the hose I want,” he said, ‘‘or will huve it in o few days, when 2,500 feet which huve just been ordered reach hero.
