GmaA Baking Powder GQ Go Ammo1is
Ammonia and alum are the most
common adulterants used in the
manufacture OF baking powders The
Government report shows that large
percentage of the baking powders on
the market contain either one or the
other, or both these pernicious drugs.
What woman would use an ammo
MIA or alum baking powder, if she
knew it? Such powders not only under
mine the health, but ammonia gives
to the complexion a sallow or blotch-
ed appearance. The presence of am
monia or alum in a. baking powder,
however, can easily be detected.
To DETECT AMMONIA. one
heaping teaspoonful of baking powder
with one teaspoonful of water in a tin
cup; boil thoroughly for few mo-
ments, stir to prevent burning, and if
ammonia is present you can smell it
in the rising steam. Or, place a can
OF the suspected powder top down on
a hot stove for minute or two, then
take off the cover and smell.
To DETECT ALUM.-Alum powder can
be tested by putting couple of teas
poonfulls of the powder in glass of
cold water. If mo effervescence, that
is bubbling or simmering, takes place,
condemn the powder and return it at
once.
Some alum powders, however, like
the "Calumet," "Bon Bon," Chicago
Yeast" ETC.. contain phosphates in
combination with alum. and with
these brands the following test is sim
pie and sure:
Take one half teaspoonful of baking
powder in lid Of say half pound can;
char thoroughly over a strong alcohol
flame, a good gas jet, or red hot Goals.
After charing, that is. burning until
the whole mass is black, add a teas
poonful OF water and place a 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

sulphur stains.
Now pour little vinegar into the
lid and smell the fumes. Alum pew
ders give off sulphuretted hydrogen.
which may be detecred by its foul
odor.
i 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.
It has been observed that advice is
not disliked because it's advice, but be
cause so few people know how to give
It. Yet there are people who are vain
enough to hate it IN proportion to its
| ableness.
