DANGEROUS FAKES
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
Powders Which Should Be
Exposed

There has recently been attempted
at some of our grocery stores, and
also at dwelling houses. by agents
who, are trying to sell alum baking
powders, what the exhibitors call a
baking powder test. They pretend to
show by some boiling test that pure
cream of tartar baking powders con-
tain something which every woman
of intelligence knows they do not.
1t does not need chemist to ex-
pose this trick. Cream of tartar,
which is the chief constituent of the
best and most wholesome baking pow
der, is originally a clear. white crys-
tai. This Is ground into fine, creamy
-four in which form, mixed with bak-
ing soda, 1t Is present in the baking
powder. Cream OF tartar. when mixed
with water and boiled simply returns
to its crystalline form, and that is
all there is to the so-called test.
The matter Of special interest to
the public Is to know what those
people offer in place OF cream Of tar
established reputation against which
these ISLANDERS are directed. They are
offering a baking powder which off,
cial analyses have repeatedly shown
is made from alum, drug so well
recognized by physicians and scien-
lists as injurious to health that in
many countries its use in breds is
entirely prohibited! 30 cheap and in
feriOr are the ingredients OF this
powder that 1t costs to make less
than three cents lound. No pru-
dent housewife will knowingly put
such stuff ~ this into her food.

pose Mr.. McLain was put on the COM
