The Standard
for Baking
Powders

the world over is the cream of
tartar baking powder.
Cream of tartar is the crystal
lied acid of grapes refined to abso-
lutte purity and ground to creamy
-four. 1t is the most wholesome of
all fruit acids, and has been proved
by long and universal experience
the most efficient and satisfactory
for baking purposes.
This highly refined pure cream
of tartar, the product of the grape,
properly combined with bi-car-
Donate of soda, corn starch, etc.,
makes the ideal, the standard
baking powder.
Many acids have been tried dur
ing the last hundred years to find
a substitute for the acid of the
grape which would cost less. In
recent years alum has been largely
used in baking powders because
of it's trifing cost. Alum, how
ever, is a corrosive acid, and, to-
gether with the other acid substi-
tutes tried, has been disapproved
by scientific chemists because of
unwholesome qualities, and dis
carded by honest manufacturers.
Cream Of tartar powders being
healthful themselves, add to the
healthfulness of the food.
