declared by the highest medical authorities to be injurious to health when used in food The Commission classify the baking powders into three general division according to their value: 1st Cream of Tartar Baking Powders 2d Phosphate Baking Powder 8d Alum Baking Powders The Commission explains that the best baking powder is that which the ingredients being healthful gives off the largest amount of leavening gas and leaves the amount of residuum in the bread A small amount of carbonate of ammonia which is considered healthful is used in some of the cream 'of tartar powders to give them a higher strength The Commission says that alum is undoubtedly a hurtful salt The report ranks the powders and shows the amount in each of inert resultants which in using it would appear as residuum in

resident of we believe with business interests principally in Texaa This is his first visit Portage since leaving it about 27 years ago and of course he finds but few of the boys who were his associates in the time The Catholics of Oshkosh are making it warm for saloonkeepers in that city and the indications are that they will make it even warmer still before they get through Recent action of the common council in granting licenses to saloons the vicinity of 8t Mary's church led to a meeting of the congregation of 8t Mary's at which resolutions were passed condemning the action of the

with a view to studying the exact difference between mukallonge and pickerel and we shall look for more light on the subject now Freeman of the State Universi ty sent to the Michigan State Supreme Court a letter worded about as follows Tour decision as to the unconstituionali ty of the local option law will have the same effect on the country as the Dred Scott decision did on abolition and will make thousand of voters for the third party As a plain man I do not believe in legal twistings and The letter was written on State University library paper and signed Freeman It was returned to the governor and by him referred to the Board of Regents It is likely to cause Mr Freeman considerable trouble as it is taken by the court as an authoritative document from the university An exchange says that ten new passenger locomotives have just been built for the St Paul road with special reference to the new contrivance to be adopted at Wadsworth with a view to the fast train The contrivance in question is a long tank laid between the rails and filled with water The locomotives are provided with a spout which will ex tend into the tank and the suction produced by the motion of the trafh will fill the engine tank without stopping the train or slacking speed It is said the tank will be two miles long By this means the time of the fast train between Chicago and Milwaukee will be reduced to two hours and fifteen minutes the number of stoppages between Milwaukee and Chicago being two instead of three -The faculty of the State Univesrity at Madison yestesdsy afternoon awarded scholarships

The carbonic or leavening gas produced by the powders indicates their strength and their true value may be ascertained by considering tbe 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 powder These percentages as found in some of the most familiar powders are given
