Faets are Stubborn Thlngu

Is there anything in any of the numerous advertisements of the Royal Baking Powder to show that the Royal does not nse am monia and tartaric acid as cheap substitutes for cream of tartar2 Or is there any charge, or the slightest insinuation in those alver- tisements that Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder contains anything but the purest grape cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda, with small portion of flour as pre- gervative?
 Ammonia and tartaric acid produce cheap leRvening gas, which is not to be compared, in the practical test of baking, with the more desirable carbonic acid gas generated by the exclusive uee of the expensive cream of tar- tnr.
