Analysing the Baking Powders.

Under the direction of the New York State
Board of Health "a different kinds of baking
powders, embracing all the brands that could
be found for sale in the State, were submitted
TO examination and analysis of Professor c.
Z. Chandler, a member of the State Board and
President of the New York City Board of
Health, assisted by Professor Edward G.
Love, the well-known late United States
chemist.
The Official report shows that a large num-
Der Of the powders examined were found TO
contain alum or lime ;many of them to such an
extent as to render them seriously objection
food.
Alum was found in - samples. This drug is
employed in baking powders to cheaper their
cost. The presence of lime Is attributed TO
the impure cream of tartar of commerce used
IN their manufacture. Such cream of tartar
was also analysed, and found to contain lime
and other impurities; in some samples TO the
extent of B per cent of their entire weight
All the baking powders of the market with
the single exception Of Royal" not Including
the alum and phosphate powders, which were
long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by
prudent housekeepers, are made from the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce, and conse-
quently contain lime to a corresponding ex-
tent.
The only baking powder yet found by chem
ical analysis to be entirely free from lime and
absolutely pure is the Royal" This perfect
purity results from the exclusive use of cream
of tartar specially refined and prepared by
patent processes of the New York Tartar
Company, which totally remove the tartrate of
lime and other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account of this
greater cost is used in no baking powder but
the Royal"
Professor Love, who made the analysis OF
baking powders for the New York state Board
OF Health as well as for the Government, says
OF the purity and wholesomeness of Royal:

Powder which / purchased m the open mar
