WH,r BAKING POWDER SHALL We UsE2 ii
This plain question comes home To every "a
lou>ckecper. We all desire pune and whole r.
.nmo food. and this cannot bc had with the
Use of impure or poisonous baking powder
There can no longer he a question that all

lcid. ~ 10th ~ we may be 10 admit 50 re
much against what may have been some of o.
our household gods. there cmn Ia nu gain :,
the unanimous testimony of the Off al
.ial chemists. Indeed, analyst, seem to tind
no baking lowder entirely free from some
lnc of these exccptionable ingredients cX-

ically pure. We find some If the baking 4
advertised ~ pure. ~t9rontain, under II
the tests IF Prnfs. Chandler, .lIabirshaw and :,
nearly twelve per cena of lime, while d
others are made from alum, with NJ cream n
If tartar. This, we presume, lruunt for their x
lack of leavening power a. sometimes COM !,
planned ofby the cook, and for the bitter
taste found in the biscuits ~ frequently com
planned of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferi5rity of the work 4
by these powders the psychologists as a

The question naturally arises, Why do these
baking powder makers use these

that il is only under this proceSSthat cream "

Prot. McMurtrie. late chief chemist of the
Department of Agriculture at Washington. ,

examination of this process. aIsl reported
upon the results attained in the reined cream !

port would seem To answer the question re- ;
peated at the head of this article. and which

Il have examined the cream of tartar used
by the ROYAL Baking Powder Company in
the manufacture of their baking powder. and ,
find it To be perfectly pure, and free from
lime in any form. The chemical tests Ia ,
which | have submitted the ROYAL Baking
Powder prove it perfectly healthful, and free
from every deleterious substance" ,
