Do you know what,was done with that dupli cate copy?” “Why, I think—it's in the desk-— I'm not sure.

Highly refined products of the grape, properly combined with bicarbonate of soga and a Yittle corn starch to absorb atmospheric moisture, are the sole ingredients of the ideal, high-class, standard baking powder. . Many acids have been tried during the last hun dred years to find a substitute for the grape cream of tartar which would cost less. In recent years alum, which makes a baking powder at a cost of two cents a pound, has been used because of its trifling cost.
