DO NOT USE
Cream Tartar and Soda.

When these articles are adulterated, or
servants are not particular to use the prop
er proportions of each, they will produce
unwholesome cake and biscuit, with dis
agreeable alkaline taste, full of yellow
specks, or reddish yellow streaks. Prof
Chandler, President Of the Board of Health
Of the city Of Nes0 York, states in his re-
port, that upon investigation he found
nearly all the Cream of Tartar sold by gro
GERS was adulterated from so to 90 per cent.
with white clay Terra Albal, Alum, and
other hurtful substances These ingredi-
ents are very dangerous to health; they i'm
poverish the blood, produce Dyspepsia, Sc
rious Kidney complaints, and destroy the
enamel of the teeth. Many housekeepers
are of the impression that Baking Powder
is chemical compound dangerous to use
this is true of the cheap kinds, which are
mixed with the same ingredients used to
adulterate Cream of Tartar.
Mr.. Chandler, in his report to the Board
Of Health, strongly recommends the use of
well-known baking powder like the Roy
all in all kinds of baking, as being more
convenient, economical, and much better
than the old-fashioned methods. 1t is alb
solutely pure; made from pure Grape
Cream Tartar, and free from injurious sub
stances of every kind. 1t is manufactured
with the greatest of care, and in such ez
act proportions that it is impossible for a
servant to fail with it.
The housekeeper should bear in mind
that an absolutely pure powder, like the
Royal, cannot be bought at the same price
as the adulterated kinds. While the price
of this powder is SO low as to bring it
within the reach of all, yet there are store
keepers who urge cheaper kinds, because
the profits to them are larger The genu-
inc Royal is sold only in securely labeled tin
cans.

To achieve perfect success, the cook
must use judgment and care. Some -four
requires more water, or milk, than others;
so that the quantity may have to be varied
to make dough of a proper consistency.
Different bakings will vary as to time and
heat required, and should, therefore be
examined occasionally. To ascertain
whether the bread is sufficiently done in
the center of the loaf or cake, thrust
clean straw or long thin splinter into it.
If done, there will be no dough on it when
drawn out. Measure the flour, and be
careful to mix with it the baking powder
in dry state, and before sitting. You can
always substitute water for milk, or milk
for water; butter for lard, or lard for but
ter. The number Of eggs may be inereas-
ed, diminished, or dispensed with entirely
Where fewer eggs are used than directed,
always use little more baking powder.
Anything containing an excess of lard, re-
quires more baking powder.
Heat the bread knife very hot when
about to cut new bread; this will prevent
its crumbling.

REMEMBER THIS.

In all your old receipts where cream tartar
and soda or saleratus are called for, you can
substitute Royal Baking Powder and get bet
ter results. The usual proportions in the old
way are:
2 teaspoonfuls Cream Tartar.
teaspoonful Soda or Saleratus.
Instead of which
Use teaspoonfuls Royal Baking Powder and
mix it with the -four while dry. This powder
is so pure and perfectly combined that one.
third less of it will do better work than cream
tartar and soda

CAKE BAKING.

For plain cake made with one pound of
flour, Royal Baking Powder, etc., the time
to be allowed in baking would be from 40
to so minutes; at the outside not more
than one hour. Very rich cakes, in which
butter and eggs predominant, take, of
course, very much longer time Ito bake,
pound cake taking from II to hours, and
BRIDES cake 81. On no account should
an oven be too hot when the cake is put
in-that is, hot enough to brown at once;
if so, in minutes the whole outside will
be burned and the interior will stand little
chance of being baked. The old plan of
feeling the handle of the oven door to test
the heat is not always successful; it is bet
ter to sprinkle little flour inside and shut
the door for about 8 minutes; if at the end
of that time it is of rich light brown.
the cake may be put in, but if burned the
heat must be lessened.

ADVICE TO THE COOK.


tention, are required from cook. Keep
your hands cery clean; try to prevent your
nails from getting black and discolored;
don't scatter" in your kitchen, clean up
as you go, put scalding water into each
saucepan or stewpan as you finish using it.
Dry your saueepans before you put them on
the shelf. Never scrub inside of frying
pan, rub it with wet silver-sand, rinse it
out well with hot water afterwards. Wash
your pudding-cloths, Scdld and hang them
to dry directly after using them; air them
before you put them away, or they will be
9musty; keep in dry place. Be careful not
to use knife that has cut onions till it has
been cleaned. Keep sink and sink-brush
very clean; be careful never to throw any
thing but water down sink. Do not throw
cabbage water down it-throw it away out
of doors, its smell is very bad. Never have
sticky plates or dishes; use very hot water
for washing them, when greasy, change it.
Clean coppers with turpentine and fine
brickdust. rubbed on with flannel, polish
them with leather and little dry brick
dust Clean your tins with soap and whit
ing mixed, made into a thick cream with
hot water; rub it on with flannel; when
dry, whisk it off with clean leather and dry
whiting. Take care that you look at the
meat the butcher brings, to see that it is
good. Let there be no waste in the kitchen.
Above hints on baking, ETC., are taken
from page of the Royal Baker and Pastry
Cook Book, book containing over 700 re-
ceipts for all kinds of cookery, bread max
ing, pastry, etc. Each can of the Royal
Baking Powder contains an order for one
of these books to be sent free by the Royal
Baking Powder Co., New York.
