The housewife who has been induced to buy a phosphate baking powder by grocers or canvassers will be some what chagrined to learn that this character of goods is made from burned bones mixed with diluted oil of vitriol. It seems that there is no law com pelling these long shot boys to print the ingredients on tbe can and hence the consumer is easily deceived. Goods of this class cost very little to manu facture about 3 or 4 cents per pound, not much more than the price of the bone or alum from which they are made. We find upon Investigation, that the only real baking powder is made from cream of tartar, soda, and a small per cent of starch to add to Its keeping qualities. All the irood brands have the ingredients printed on the label. 12-15-V LAUNDRY OR DOCTOR BILLS It's up to you. We will save that doctor bill for you if you will only let us.
