False Economy

cheaper and therefore more eco
nonica1. But is it?
Leading food experts and medi.
cal authorities have for years
declared that alum baking powders
are not safe to be used. The
chief European nat ions prohibit
them altogether.
Can it be truthfu11y said that
an article Of food so generally
condemned is economical at any
price?

made from cream of tartar, adds
only hea1thfu1 qualities to the
