It II reported that In many localities
houses are infested BY peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap
or low-priced baking powders. either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used.s
and It is claimed that the article is q;
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits Of q pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are we'll known to b.
detrimental to health. In England and
In some sections Of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale OF food contain-
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DIR. s. w. Johnson, for instance.
Professor Of Chemistry at Yale COL
lege, says: BREAD made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum r1ust
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice. and must, therefore, act
as q poison
1t is well known that these so-called
cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One Of
them was recently analyzed at Yale
College and found to be one-Qusrter
sharp pointed grains Of ground flint.
Others are filed with sulphuric acid.
and salts of lead are also found in;
them.
In baking powders be sure to get q
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.
