How to Detect the Alum Baking Powder t Which are the alum baking powders; how can I avoid them unless they are named?’* asks a housekeeper. Here is one ways take*the can of a lowpriced powder in your hand and read the ingredient clause upon the back label. The law requires that if the powder contains alum that fact must be fliere stated. If you find one of the ingredients named alum, or Sulphate of aluminum, you have found an alum baking powder. There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only; that assures you a cream of tartar powder, and the purest and most healthful hakipg powder beyond question.
