Cheap baking powders leave tho bread sometimes bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and alka line, arid always unpalatablo. They aro never of uniform strength and quality. Why not buy a perfectly wholesomo baking powder like Calumet, that Is at tho same tlmo moderate in price and ouo which can ho relied upon?
