Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and
food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws Of most States compel
food manuf acturers to print the
ingredients of their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to distinguish health
full foods from those which may be
deleteriouS.
High-grade baking powders are
made Of pure cream Of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak-
ing Powder is a type Of the highest
grade. 1t is healthful beyond
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The low-grade baking powders
are made from alum, mineral
acid salt, or phosphate of lime.
Consumers can learn the char
acter Of the baking powder by
referring to the label, which
must state whether the cont entS
include cream Of tartar, alum or
phosphate.
