1t is not surprising that writers

mend the use of baking pow

Of them are dangerous COM

powders made from alum, or
other cheap ingredients, whose
use would be both harmful and
extravagant, that there should
be the most careful supervision
to keep them out of the kitchen.
The grocer would no doubt
hesitate to recommend these
inferior and cheaper powders if
he knew they were made from
alum. The housewife certainly
would not admit them to her
kitchen if she were aware OF
their real character; but they
are both deceived by the manu-

Baking powders sold at a
lower price than Royal are
mostly made from alum, and
should be avoided under all cir
