OFFICIAL FOOD TESTS. THE UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN .GOVERNMENTS ANALYZE THE BAKING POWDERS. Comparative Strength and Parity of th* Different Brand. Officially Determined- Prof. Halnee. Consulting Ohemlet of the Chicago Board of Health. Olree Hle Opinion. The public i» always responsive to suggestions about the food it eata. Great interest baa been taken in the in vestigations made byjthe United States and Canadian governments and by the different boards of health to show the pnrity or Imparity of milk, baking pow ders, spices, and other artiole* of dally use in' the oulinary department of onr households. Just now the subject of baking pow der is claiming publlo attention. Wo ail desire pure and wholesome£bread and this cannot be had withjthe use of im pure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer any quesUon that alt the cheaper lower grades of baking pow ders contain either alum, lime or phoe- phatloacid. The official analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have therefore been studied with Interest and have pretty oleariy established the fsets upon this subject. The United Statee government report gives the names of eighteen well-known powders, some of them advertised as pure cream of tartar baking powders, that contain alum. The report shows that the|Royal bak ing powder was found; the highest in leavontng strength, evolving 100.0 oubio inches of gss per single ounce of pow der.' Thera were eight other brands of cream of tartar powders tested and their average strength;was 111.5 cubic luehes of gss per ounce of powder. The Canadianfgovernment Investiga tion* were of ajjstlU larger number of powders. The |Boyal baking powder was here also shown the purest and highest ip strength, containing 12032 cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce of powder. Nine other eream of tartar powders were tested, their Sverige strength beingjreported to be 80 oubio inches of gasjper ounce. These figures are very instructive to the practical (housekeeper. - They Indi cate that the Royal baking powder goes more than.|33 per {cent further In use than the others, or is one-third more economical.^Still more important o**" this, however, theyjprove this popular article hasjbeeu brought to the highest degree of purity—for to its superlative purity this; superiority in strength is due—and consequently that by Its use we maybe insured the purest and most wholesome food. -A r * *'. : _ * The powders of the lower strength are found to leave large amounts of inert matters in the food. This fact Is em phasised byjtlie report of the Ohio State rood Commissioner, who, while finding the Royal practically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent of Inert or foreign matters. The publio interest in this question baa likewise caused to be made invest!-, gatlons by our local authorities. Prof. W. S. Haines, of Rush Medical College, consulting chemist of the Chicago board of health, has found results similar to those reported by the national and Can adian antborltiee. Dr. Halnee saya: Rush Medical Collide, Chicago, Ill.—I hare recently obtained samples of the ohlef baking powders lit the market, and have subjected them to careful chemical examination to determine their purity, wholesomenese and leavening powers. As the result of my test I find the Royal baking powder superior to all the others in every respect It le en tirely free from all adulteration and un- wholsome impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater volume of leavening gaa than any other powder.' It is, there fore, not only the purest, but also the strongest powder with which I am ac quainted. Walter 8. Haines, M D., Consulting Chemist, Chicago Bqard of Health. The statistics show that there is used in the manufacture of the Royal baking powder more than halt of all the cream of tartar oonsomed in the ’Jolted States for all purposes. The wonderful sale that indicated for the Royal baking powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—Is perhaps even a higher evldenoe than that already quoted of tbo superiority of this article, and of its ladlspensableness to modern eookery.—Chicago Tribune.
