POISON At THE FRONT DOOR.
No article entering so generally into
the food Of every family has been
found more villianously adulterated
than baking powder. For the purpose
OF underseiling those powders Of abso-
lutte purity and WholesOmenesS which
alone are safe for use in food, hun
dreds Of dealers are putting up baking
powders with cheap and adulterated
cream of tartar, which contains lime,
earth, etc., adding strength by the free
use of alum.
The adulterated powders are showed
upon the public with the greatest per
sistency. Many are given away-left
in samples at private residences with
circulars containing bogus analysis
and certificates and false representa-
tions as to their value. etc. The worst
of them are introduced to the house
Keepers attention by fraudulent tricks

purchased being found to he entirely
different from the sample shown. The
fact that Il powder is sampled from
door to door is sufficient to condemn
it. A tirst-ciasS article will sell on it's
merits. No manufacturer whose goods
are Of value can afford to give them
away, or to test them from door to
door, and none but the cheapest make

parties who have failed to dispose of
their wares through the ordinary and
legitimate channels.
Free samples of articles of food left
at the house should be regarded with
suspicion. Their is no guarantee OF
their WhOlesOmeness, while there is
real danger that they contain Il fatally
poisonous compound. Many instances
of poisoning from the use of suc,i sam
pies are recorded,
The only safe way is to consign all
such samples Immediately to the ash

is not worth while to trille with life
and health to the extent of testing ev-
cry doubtful powder that comes along.
Better to rely upon al old and reliable
brand, like the Royal, which has by {:
quarter of i century's constant use
proved it's perfect wholesomeness and
efficiency, or some Other-brand that is
not so worthless and cheap that its
proprietors can afford to give it away
by the cart load, or waste it in making
innumerable tests. 1t is in its favor
that the Royal Baking Powder IS never
! given away, sold by means of lotteries
nor accompanied by chromos, spoons
crockery or other gifts. except the gift
of absolute purity, whOlesomeness, ful
weight, and superlative leaveniD!

baking powders. The Royal Bakin,
