This efficiency is most needed in the sick room?not merely in the laboratory. What is true of drugs must be true of foods. Purity and efficiency in the can is only part of the problem ?purity and efficiency in the kitchen is the true test. The law requires that baking power contain 12% leavening gas at the time of sale to the consumer. This measure insures uniform leavening efficiency and protects the health of the public. In order to comply with this fixed standard for bak ing powder, manufacturers must produce and pack their product so as to avoid the deterioration which may result from absorption of atmospheric moisture. Baking Powder manufacturers to avoid violation of the law, also spend thousands of dollars yearly in testing grocers' stocks and removing "spent" goods from nis shelves, in spite of the fact that every pos sible precaution had previously been taken against deterioration. With the exception of Texas, the pure food laws are not applied to bak ing powder mixed with flour at the mill and sold in bags as "Self Rising Flour." There is no penalty on the manufacturers if this fails to "self rise"?the consumer is the "goat"?he is the one that pays the penalty through indigestion and ill health that comes from eating bakings that are not properly raised. The standardization of baking powdfr is a pro tection to both the consumer and the manufacturer?who welcomes such laws and co-operates in every way possible. But 1 Not so with the self rising flour manufacturer?he resents such laws and fights such legislation. Why? Because a standardization of self ris ing flour would require moisture-proof containers instead of cheap sacks ?because low grade "clears" could no longer be sold as "fancy patent flour." It would also mean he must maintain expert chemical control such as is now maintained by baking powder manufacturers. Calumet Baking Powder contains only such ingredients as have been officially approved by the U.S. Food Authorities. Packed In tin-keeps the strength In :MELICK TENNIS BAI L SPECIAL?THIS WEEK?
