On reviewing the above analyses ii will
be seen that, in the "Patapsco Powder
about 20 per cent OF burnt alum is used,
over % per cent in Andrews, over % per
cent in Dooley's, and about 80 per cent in
the Charm" And the manufacturer Of
''Dooley's Powder not only has the au.
aacity to put on the market this injurious
and unwholesome powder, but to put upon
the labels the deceptive statement Chem
ically pure" -s.s 20
could furnish, il it were necessary, an
alyses OF many other alum powders, as at
least 80 per cent Of the baking powders
contain alum.
Not one pound OF these powders could
be sold in England, as It is against the law
TO use alum for making bread. Why have
we not such law?
DR.. Mott continues: By exposing these
injurious and unwholesome baking pow
ders, the public must not be frightened
from using baking powders when proper.
" made. In fact, baking powders are a
great convenience, as the constituents are
so combined that their use is always at
tended with success; and there is no dan.
ger OF biscuits made with them having m
alkaline taste, or being impregnated with
yellow specks or streaks, as Is often the
case when ordinary cream OF tartar and
soda are used. This results from the fact
that the ordinary cream OF tartar found in
the market is adulterated from 10 to 90 per
cent with foreign substances; consequently
it becomes necessary TO change the Bro
portion TO be used with every new lot
which can only be correctly arrived at by
chemical analysis OF the cream Of tartar,
The advantages OF u:ing baking pow
der" in preference to yeast are, that with
the former none OF the nutritive parts OF
the -four are destroyed, q larger WELD is
obtained, and the result accomplished
with great saving OF time, which would
otherwise be required to promote the fer.
mentation when yeast is used.
The advantages OF using baking powder''
in preference 10 the ordinary cream OF tar.
tar and soda found on the market are not
only that it is more economical, but the
results are always attended with success,
there being no fear, as stated, OF producing
an alkaline taste or yellow streaks in the
product.
1t will be seen iron the above that con.
sumers should discriminate with great
deal OF care when purchasing Baking
Powder. Jones Unrivaled Is made Of
pure Grape Cream Of Tartar. Il is pure
and Thol6soae, and is recommended for
purity by leading chemists throughout
the country. Ryland 7. Brown, II. D.,
late Chemist in Chief in the Department
OF Agriculture, and President Of Group
w., Centennial Judges, in letter dated
Indianapolis, March II, 1875, says: ~ take
pleasure in saving that, after care.
full examination Of the formula OF Jones' Tn.
rivaled Baking Powder, and calculation OF
results, l find the ingredients chemically
pure, resulting in a neutral combination,
which is the first point to be considered
in relation TO healthtulness. The volume
OF gas set free Is larger, in proportion to
weight Of Powder used, than in any other
Baking Powder exhibited at the United
States Centennial, only having, in reality,
one competitor, because Of similarity Of
formula"
Consumers should refuse 10 buy Baking
Powder in bulk, for they never know what
they are getting. Jones Unrivaled Is put
up in cans, guaranteed full ,rsigh and sold
by all first class grocers. d4w
