Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds of baking powders, embracing all the brands that could be found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. Cinaxvren, a member of the State Board and President of the New York City Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Enwarn G. Love, the well-known Jate United States Government Chemist, The official ropurt shows that a large number of the powders examined were found to contain alum or lime; many of them to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food. Alum was found in twenty-nine sample. Thisdrugisemployed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of commerce used in their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also analyzed and found to contain lime and other im- purities, in some samples to the extent of 93 per cont of their entire weight, All the baking powders of the market, with the single excention of “Royal " (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which were long since discarded as unsafe or ineflicient by prudent housekeepers), are made from the impure cream of tartar of connmeree, and consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent, The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is the “*Royal.” This perfect purity re- sults from the exclusive use of cream ot tartar specially refined and pre- parcd by patent processes of the N, Y. Tartar Co., wlich totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in no haking powder but the * Royal.” Prof. Love, who made the analysis ot baking powders for the New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government, says of the purity and wholesomeness of ** Roy “1 have tested a package of * al Baking Powder,” which 1 purchased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingie- Itisa dients. 1m of tartar powder of a high degrec of merit, and does s substances. not contain either alum or phosphates or anv injuri “L.
