Official Analysis of Baking Powders
AduIteratfOns In Cream of Tartar.

Official Analysis of Baking Powders
Authorizations I'm Cream of Tartar.
Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighsy-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for
sale in the state, were submitted to ex-
animation and analysis by Prof G. F.
Chandler, a member of the state board
and president of the New York City Board
of Health, assisted by Prof Edward @.
Love, the we'll known United States Gov
eminent chemist.
The official report shows that a large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many of
them to such an extent as torender them
seriously Objectionable for use in the pre-
paratien of human food
Alum was found in twenty-nine SAM
Piles. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their COST The pres
ence of lime is attributed to the impure
cream of tartar of commerce used in their
manufacture. Such cream of tartar was
also analyzed and found to contain lime
and other impurities; in some samples to
the extent of SO per cent. of their entire
weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal (uot
including the alum and phosphate pow
ders, which have not the virtue of even
an impure cream of tartar J, are made from
the adulterated cream Of tartar of COM
merce, and consequently contain lime to
corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the 'Royal."
The perfect purity results from the ex-
elusive use of cream of tartar specially re-
fined and prepared by patent processes
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."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health, as well as for the gov
ernment, says of the purity and whole
someness of the Royal:
~ find the Royal Baking Powder COM
posed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
1t is cream of tartar powder of high
degree of merit, and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or other injur-
ious substance. E.G. LOVE, Pa. D."

keepers of this vicinity, where the Royal
Baking Powder is in general use, that the
investigations by the analysts in Macsa-
chusetts, New York and Ohio, the only
states that have thus far taken action up
on this important subject, agree in class
ing it as the purest and most efficient
baking powder in the market.
