NEW BAKING POWDER TRICKS.
The Way in Which Makers of Adult
terated Powders Impose upon the
Publican Easy Means of
Detecting the Fraud.

Some OF the baking powder companies
are operating cunning trick upon house,
keepers in sending canvassers around,
trying to impose upon the unwary what
Is called the foaming test.
A chemical analysis has recently been
made OF the baking powders In whose in
terest the fraud Is being worked, and 1t
Is found that drug has been introduced
which makes froth like the syrup In
soda water.
Pure cream Of tartar and soda never
produce froth like this; but the trick Is
well calculated to deceive those who do
not know the action OF pure baking
powder in producing leavening gas. II
any lady Is sufficiently interested In the
matter to prove the fraud, let her buy at
the drug store two ounces OF pure cream
OF tartar and one ounce of soda, mix
them thoroughly, then put portion in o
glass and add water-this will reveal the
action of pure baking powder. Any
powder that froths or foams differently
from what tho pure materials do Is sure
to contain some form Of adulteration.
"A baking powder manufactured in Chi
cago, and the one most actively used In
humbugging the housekeepers lately, Is
known to contain albumen introduced for
the special purpose of deceiving the eye
IN these tests. This adulteration has no
leavening power whatever; IL is q filthy
substance, produced from the slaughter
houses in Chicago, and is nothing more
than decomposed blood. 1t Is used SIM
ply because 1t makes a great show Of
froth-to deceive the housekeeper
Persons to whom this so-called test Is
shown will do well to be careful, before
using any such powder, to ascertain the
extent of its adulteration.
Pure cream OF tartar never froths in
water; its action is to liberate leavening
gas in the dough. II is a scientific fact
that alum powders, and those composed
OF blood albumen, are the worst forms Of
adulterated baking power. But these
can always be distinguished by the froth
they give off, instead OF that natural effer-
vescence which takes place with q cream
OF tartar baking powder.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
