Barker, M.D., University of Penn. : "All the constituents of alum rcmarh (from alum baking powders) in the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re gard the use of alum as highly injurious." Dr. Alon'.o Clark: ,:A substance (alum) which can dcr.inge the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder." Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist: "I believe it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of food articles." Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: "I regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts) introduction into baking powders as most dan gerous to health." In view of such testimony as this, every care must be exercised by the housewife to exclude the over and over condemned cheap, alum baking powders from the food. Caking powders made from crenm of tartar, which is highly refined grajx; acid, are promotive of health, and more efficient. Noother kind should Ik- used in leavening food. Koyal liakiii); I'mvder is the highest example of a pure tream ut tartar powder. OVAL MKIM8 POWDER CO.. 100 VNUIAM ST.. MEW YCK. FOURTH 1HMU1L Meeting ol Daughters of the Con i federacy This Week.
