ATITO.BIOGRAPYX OF ANDY KEEFE, ESQ.
The subject of this sketch was born in ti
parish of Cloclifergus Co. Tipperary, Ire
lend, in the year 1807, hie father being
THE DANGER BEFORE US.
We Lave already alluded to the import -
am° of housekeepers paying more attention
to the kind of baking power used in leav-
ening their bread. This is a matter to which
we cannot draw attention too often, be-
cause it is something which involves tbe
most serious consequences to the general
body of mankind. Temperance apostles
tell ns -and there is ample foundation for
the statement -that there is disease, both
moral and physical, in the intoxicating clip;:
and in the same way there is disease, slow
perhaps, but certain, in the lime and alum
leayening agents employed in many of the
homes on this continent:
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poisonous
alum and lime baking powders before the
public with the assurance that they are
pure and wholesome articles. in the belief
of the truth of sueh statements such baking
powders are largely used in the ;reparation
of food, and in this way the poisonous
ingredients are taken into the system with-
out a suspicion of their presence. By and
by come spells of headache, distress in the
stomach, lose of appetite, a fluttering of the
heart; the child is seized with an apparent-
ly causeless cough. The coating of the
stomach is destroyed, perhaps; one of the
vital organs is rendered almost useless; the
kidneys aro attacked with Bright's disease.
The health of the child is irreparably
broken down; the adult becomee a chronic
invalid. These are the doings of the mod-
ern cheap baking powders that are compos-
ed of lime and alum, or that contain sul-
phuric or phosphatic acids.
In view of these facts surely all housewives
should exercise the care that is, we know,
now exercised by some in the selection of a
proper brand of baking powder. She who
does not do so, whether the neglect is the
result of ignorance or recklessness, cannot
free herself from the reeponsibility for the
health, perhaps life,thereby endangered.
No housewife need bo ignorant of the qual-
ity and composition of the article which
olio uses to leaven hor broad, biscuit and
cake. The official reverie of the govern -
merit chemists, who are oortainly au pi °jet -
diced, have been published and thew very
clearly the quality and strength of all the
baking powders in tho market. The Royal
Baking Powder, vulgar is aceessible at every
hend, is repotted obsoletely free from limo,
alum, phosphatic add, or any injurious
ingredient. It is further stated by the
most eminent atthoritiett OE fwd hygiene
that fetid loam:tea with it is more whole-
some than when raised by any other
method. Its use is therefore to bo coin -
mended. It is to ho regretted that no
other baking metier, when there are oo
many in the market, some of which will
find their way hate use, is free from all of
those substances. The official analyste
agave ua, however, , that all wept the
Royal contain either alum or Time. The
