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
plexion sallow or blotched appearance
The presence of ammonia or alum IN a
baking powder. however, can easily be
detected.
70 Detect Ammonia.-Mix one heaping
teaspoonful OF baking powder with one
teaspoonful OF water in TIN cup; boil
thoroughly for a few moments, stir to
prevent burning. and if ammonia is pres
ent you can smell it in the rising steam.
Or, place can of the suspected powder
top down on hot stove for minute or
two, then take off ths cover and smell.
70 Detect A]um.-Alum powder can
be detected by putting couple of tea
spoonfuls OF the powder in glass of
cold water. If no effervescence, that is
bubbllng or simmering, takes place, con-
demn the powder and return it at once.
Some alum powders: however. like the
Calumet" "Bon Bon," ""Chicaeo Yeast ~
with alum, and with these brands the
following test is simple and sure:
Take one half teaspoonful of baking
powder IN lid of say half ponnd can; char
| thoroughly over strong alcohol flame, a
good gas jet, or red hot Goals. Ate +
charing that is, burning until
the whole mass is black) add
teaspoonful of water and place
bright piece of silver coin in the
solution. Stir for one minute, then take
out the silver. II the powder prove a
cream of tartar powder the coin will be
bright; IT an alum powder it will have
sulphur stains.
| Now pour little vinegar into the lid
and smell the fumes. Alum powders give
of sulphuretted hydrogen, which may be
detected by its foul odor.
