A SCIENTIFIC FACT.
"Royal" the only Baking Powder free from
Lime and Absolutely Pure.

lime is the serious defect found in most OF the
cream of tartar baking powders. AS matter of fact
chemical ANALYSIS has found it in all such powders
except the Royal" Its presence is caused by the
use of adulterated cream of tartar in the effort to
reduce their cost of production
Lime adds to the weight while it detracts from
the strength of the baking powder 1t also renders
the food less wholesome giving rise to dyspepsia and
kindred ailments Baking powders containing lime pro-
duce less eavenng gas and therefore In use are more
expensive than 6rst-class, pure article
The Royal Baking Powder is made from cream OF
tartar that first specially refined and made chemically
pure. No tartrate of lime other impurty can find
its way into the Royal" and to this fact Its great
superiority in strength wholesomeness, and keeping
quality is due
All this adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing
the Royal Baking Powder but as all Its ingredients
are selected and prepared with the same precise care
and regardless of labor expense, an article Is pro-
duced that is free from every extraneous substance
absolutely pure" Nor does it contain any ingre
dients except those necessary to make pure whole
some, and perfect baking powder.
Professor McMurtrie late chemist in chief to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, alter anaiynng the
various baking powders of the market testes to the
absolute purity of that used in the Royal Baking
Powder as follows:
al have examined the cream of tartar manufactured
hv the New York Tartar Company and used by the
ROYAL Baking Powder Company in the manufacture OF
.h.r h.t;ng Powder and find it to be perfectly pure,
and free from lime in any form

MAKE THE MOST OF THIS LIFE.

Make the most of this life when the shadow
reposes.
The beams of the summer shall cluster in
glee.
And the snow on the graves Of the lilies and
roses
But cradles the blossoms that whiten the
lea;
Though the hopes of the heart be encircled
with sorrow,
And billows or wretchedness still mutter
and roll,
There shall come with the morn OF the boun-
tiful morrow
The pleasures that gladden. the !deso|ate
soul
Make the most of this life; where the carols
are sleeping
That rose in their rapture from lips of the
spring
And awakened the world with its winter of
weeping,
Sweet songs shall be sung by the birds on
the wing.
Though the bosom be dark with the dirges of
sadness
And solitude gather so sadly and lone.
There shall float from the musical meadows
of gladness
The ravishng measuses that Danish each
groan.
Make the most of this life; it's garden OF
beauty,
Where blushing, the blossoms grow tender
IL sweet.
While they brighten the days of mans labor
and duty,
And scatter the kisses of love at his feet
'Tis world that is wild with the laughter of
GzE7 living,
When hands do the brotherly kindness they
can,
And its hearts are the treasures of tenderness
giving,
To soften and sweeten the nature of man.
Make the most of this life; there is~happiness
in it
When souls find theme for their tubiIant
song;
There is music when the angels are taught 10
begin it
Who never were mantled with garments cf
wrong
There are voices that sing-in their sweetness
forever
And murmur no cadence of battle or strife.
Neither burden the hours with pangs of en-
deavor,
When we. with our deed. make the most of
this life,
Freeman E. Miller.
