When the juice which is pressed from
grapes tor wine-making ferments, the acid
of the fruit is crystallized and precipitated.
This h collected, refined to absolute purity,
and ground to a powder. This is cream of
tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of leaven
in ; agencies and a most healthful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape,
or cream of tartar, is the material from
which Royal Baking Powder is made. It
is many times more expensive than ingre
dients used in many baking powders, but
being healthful in itself, it adds healthfulness
to the food instead of degrading it.
In imitation baking powders poisonous alum
is used instead f healthful cream oi tartar.
Alum powders seriously affect th: health.
