Langour, loss of appetite, indigestion and

mia, DIR. Barker, consider the alum baking
powders, that he says their sale should be
prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to employ
the very little care that is necessary to
keep SO dangerous an element from the
food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder
which is the only kind that should be
used. ought to cost about forty five to fifty
cents pound. Therefore, if you are pay
ing much less, something is wrong if you
are paying twenty-five cents or less per
pound, the powder is certainly made from
alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder,
