Facts Worth Knowing.

There are three entirely differ.
emit kinds of ingredients used in
making the three different var
ieties of baking powders on the
market, viz:-() Miueral-Acid
or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or PhOs-
phate, and 90 Cream of Tartar,
derived from Grapes. 1t is inn
portant, from the standpoint of
health, to know something about
these ingredients and which kind
is used in your baking powder.
Cd Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is
made from a kind of clay. This
clay is mixed with diluted oil of
vitriol and from this solution a
product is obtained which is
alum. Alum is cheap, costs two
cents a pound, and baking pow
der made with thib Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to IS cents a pound.
I'd Rone-Acid, or Phosphate,
is the basis of phosphate baking
powders and the process is fully
describedin the patents issued to
a large manufacturer of a phos-
phate powder. The U. S. Pat
emit Office Reports gives 4 full
and exact description, but the
following extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being
are put into freshly de
luted oil of vitriol and with con-
tinual stirring and in the follow
ing proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid Phos-
phate baking powders are made;
such powders sell from 20 to 80
cents a pound.
Cd Cream of Tartar exists In
all ripe grapes, and flows with
the juice when the grapes are
pressed. The tartar is subse-
luently gathered from the cask.
boiled with water, and refined,
when crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separ-
ate and are procured. It differs
IN no respect from the form in
which it originally existed in the
grape, Cream of Tartar, then,
while the most expensive, is the
,nly ingredient that should be
lsed in a baking powder to act
lpon the soda, as its wholesome
less is beyond question:. Cream
If Tartar baking powders sell At
Ibout 40to 50 cents a pound.
Such are the facts and every
