\ OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY— The party that never says" Thank you !" when you open the door, shut the window or give up your seat for her. MINORA CANAMUS, One of our colleagues, Dr. Mary Durand, was asked the other day if Cocoa powder, which a section of the trade has been try- ing to introduce into the market, with a view to superseding the time-honored Chocolate, was really an improvement on th: lat- ter. or at least shared its valuable properties in an equal degree. ‘The doctor's reply was substantially to the following eff "The advantage of Cocoa powder appears to be that, owing to its fineness, it readily mixes with milk, water and other liquids, hence the preference given to it by proprietors of res- tauranis, cafés and luncheon-bars where rapidity of supply is the main desideratum. But on the other hand it has one great defect, which throws all others in the shade, and is alone suffi- cient to maintain the supremacy of Chocolate, viz: that in order to pulverize Cocoa and retain it in the reduced condition. it is absolutely necessary to deprive it to a large extent of its BUT- T iS much as three-fourths, and in some cases four-fifths of this valuable fatty substance is indeed lost in the process, with the result that along with it disappears practically the whole of the aroma, which is one of the distinctive merits of good Chocolate, and also part of the alible or nutritious proper- tes of the natural article." ‘The resulting effect may appropri- ately be compared to that which would be produced by remov- ing the cream from milk, the yolk {rom an egg. the oil from lives. and so forth. The consumer obtains a mere residue.” Dr. P. Carles, Professor of the Faculty of Medicine and Phar- macy of Bordeaux, goes still further than that in his assertions By leaving but an insignificant proportion of butter in pow- dered Cocoa.” he says "the product is rendered essentially in- jurious to health, as Cocoa Powder, when allowed to become stale, readily becomes inert or acid." From the foregoing it seems obvious that the introduction of powdered Cocoa into general use is, on purely ALIMENTARY rounds, the reverse of an improvement. DR. E. PASCAL.
