Alum Rakino pn,vd gro .

There are so many alum baking powders
about most Of which are represented to bs
made Of cream Of tartar, that the following
list OF powders in which chemists have
found alum, will be Of value:
Man'rd by A. r. Davis & Co., New York
LESLTE'S Contains Alum.
Manfd by The A. Coburn Co., Phila.
WASHINGTON. Contains Alum.
Man'f'd by Washington Baking Powder Co.
In addition to these, it is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands. These
powders are put up for the grocer and his
name put upon the labels by manufacturers
OF alum powders. The manufacturers of
alum powders, it is said, find their efforts
to market their goods in this way greatly
aided by the ambition of the grocer to sell
a powder with his own name upon the label,
especially as he can make an abnormal
profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtless,
do not know that the powders they are thus
pushing are detrimental to health and
would be actually contraband in many Sec
tions if sold without disguise.
The housekeeper should bear in mind
that alum makes cheap baking powder.
Though it costs but two cents a pound, it is
the principal cost of the powder. The
quality of the powder is, therefore, usually
indicated by the price. Not always, how
ever; sometimes special brand sold for
the price of high-class cream of tartar
powder is found upon analysis to be made
from alum. The safer way is to buy only
the old, standard brands. certified by the
Government chemists to be made of cream
of tartar.
