Comiterfeltlng a Bah ing Ponder. The public is too well informed as to the danger from alum baking powders to need any caution against using them. It is, nevertheless, a faet that many of our most prudent and careful housekeepers are, without knowing it, using these deleterious articles daily, and from them preparing for their families food which, were they aware of its nature, they would not offer to a beggar. Baking powder made from burnt alum costs less than four cents a pound. When these can be worked off in place of the Eoyal Baking Powder, and sold for forty or fifty cents a pound, there are manufacturers and dealers sufficiently unscrupulous to do it. A favorite method of selling these poisonóus aluin baking powders is by placing them in an empty Royal Baking Ponder can and weighing them out in small quantities when the Royal Baking Powder is called for by customers. The grocer, if questioned, claims that he buys in large packages at a lower rate, and is thus able to sell below the price of the goods in the small cans. All baking powders sold in this way are entitled to suspicion. Analyses of many of them have been made with a view to prosecution, and in all cases they have been found largely adulterated and generally made from poisonóus burnt alum. This is selling counterfeit goods, and is, of course, an offence against the law. We are glad to know that the Royal Baking Powder Company have taken the matter in hand. and are acting in a way that will protect the public from the swindle. The Burest protection from this fraud is for the housekeeper to buy the baking powder of the brand sbe wishes in the original unbroken package, looking carefully to see that the label has not been tampered with. The Royal Baking Powder Company announce, what is well-known, that their goods are packed for the convenience of consumers in cans of various sizes, but are never sold in bulk, by the barrel or loose by weight or measure. The cans are securely sealed with the company's trade mark label, and weight of each package stamped on the cover. Any baking powder being peddled out by weight under the name of Royal they denounce as bogus and to be avoided. Consumere should bear these facts in mind if they do not wisb to have imposed upon them the poisonous alum stuff that is being profusely distributed throughout the country under the name of baking powder. If, however, they buy the Royal Mn cans with unbroken labels, they are always sure of using a baking powder perfectly pure and wholesome, and of the highest test, strength and efficiency.
