IMPORTANT FOOD TESTS.

How to Produce More Economical and Healthful Articlea for the Tabic. The official food analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have been studied with interest. The United States Government report gives the names of eighteen well-known baking powders, sorr.e of them advertised as ) ure croam-of-tartar powders, which contain alum. The report shows the Royal to bo a pure cream-of-tartar baking powder, the highest in strength, evolving J6o.t> cubic inches of leavening gas ; er single ounce of powder. There wore eight other brands of cream-of-tartar powders tested, and their average strength was 111.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of i owder. The Canadian government investigations wore of a still larger number of powders. The l loyal Baking Powder was here a so shown tho purest and highest in strength, containing fortyfive per cent, more leavening gas per ounce than the average of all the other cream-of-tartar powders. These figures are very instructive to the practical house Keeper. They indicate 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 than this, however, they prove this popu ar article has been brought to the highest degree of purity—f rto it; superlative purity this superiority in strength is duo—and consequently that by its use wo may be insured the purest and most wholesome food. Tho powders of lower strength are found to have large amounts of impurities in tho food. This fact is emphasized by the report of tho Ohio State Food Commissioner, who, while finding the Royal practically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent, of inert or foreign matter. The itatistioi ihow that there is used in the manufacture of tho Royal Baking Powder more than half of all the cream-of-tartfir consumed in the United States for all purposes. The wonderful i ale thus indicated for the Royal Baking Powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—is J erha s even a nijhor evidem e than that already quoted of tho su eriority of this article, and of its indispensabloness to modern cookery.
