Ammonia and alum are the most
common adulterants used in the manu-
facture of baking powders. The
Government report shows that 4 large
percentage Of the baking powders on
the market contain either one or the
other, or both these pcrnicious drugs.
What woman would use an ammonia
or alum baking powder, If she knew it?
Such powders not only undermine the
health. but ammonia gives to the COM
plexlon a sallow or blotched appear
ance. The presence of ammonia or
alum in baking powder, however, can
easily be detected.
To Detect Ammonia.-Mix one
heaping teaspoonful of baking powder
with one teaspoonful of water in a tin
cup; boil thoroughly for few
moments, stir to prevent burning, and
if ammonia Isl present you can smell
it IN the rising steam. Or. place n can
of the suspected powder top down on a
hot stove for minute or two, then take
OFT the cover and smell.

can be tested by putting couple of
teaspoonfuls of the powder in glass of
cold water. If no effervescence, that is
bubblng or simmerlng, takes place,
condemn the powder and return it at
once.
Some alum powders, however, like
the Calumet" bon Bon," "Chicago
Yeast" etc., contain phospha:es in
combination with alum, aud with these
brands the following test Is SIMPLE and
sure:
Take one half teaspoonful of baking
powder IN lid Of say half pound can;
char thoroughly over strong alcohol
flame, good gas jet, or red hot Goals.
After charing {thatis, burning until the
whole mass is black add = teaspoonful
of water aud place a bright piece OF
silver coin Ia the solution. Stir for one
minute. then take out the silver. If
the powder, prove q cream of tartar
powder the Coin will be bright; if an
alum powder it will have sulphur
STAINS.
Now pour little vinegar into the lid
ana smell the fumes. Alum powders
give off sulphuretted hydrogen, which
may be detected by its foul odor.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
reported by all authorities as free from
Ammonia, Alum, Lime, or any other
adulterant. In fact, the purity of this
ideal powder has never been questioned.
