powder depends on the available carbon dioxide gas and it is thus necessary that the amount should be regulated by law. The chief cause of illegality of baking powders is the low per centage of available carbon dioxide which they contain. This may be due to one of two reasons, or to a combination of the two. In some cases the manufacturer is to blame, the powder being made with insufficient quantities of bicarbonate of soda or of the acid principle to produce the required amount of carbon dioxide. The other reason and the one which is probably the chief cause for the low value of some of the baking powder on the market, is the general length of time that elapses between the manufacture and consumption of the powder. All baking powders deteriorate on standing, especially if stored in damp places or in pasteboard containers. MANUFACTURERS OF CHEMICALS. The chemicals used to make baking powder are foods under the definition of "food" found in section of the law. These chemicals when sold for use in making baking powder or other foods must be free from adulteration. The consumer can judge the strength of a baking powder by the results in the cooked food. A preliminary, though somewhat unsatisfactory, indication of its strength, is the amount of effervescense produced by the addition of hot water to some of the powder. The consumer should read the ingredients as stated on the label, if he would judge how much money he ought to pay for the baking powder. Powders containing cream of tartar or tartaric acid are the most expensive. Rockford 2254 Sproule Bros 2272 Berhenke Bros 2273 J. G. Sachs 2295 Mrs. F. F. McQuillen. 2321 C. S. Brown 2347 S. M.
