Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by those who use
baking powders that they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them a disagreeable, bitter taste. This taste
follows the use of all impure baking powders, and is
caused either by their containing lime or alum Gntro-
duced to make a cheap article), by the impure and adul-
terated character of other ingredients used, or from the
Ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper methods
of combining them. These baking powders leave in the
bread a residuum formed of lime, earth, alum, or other
deleterious matters, not always, though frequently, tasta-
BILE in the food, and by all physicians classed as injurious
to health. The Royal Baking Powder is free from this
serious defect. In its use no residuum is left, and the
loaf raised by it is Always sweet, light and wholesome,
and noticeably free from NE peculiar taste complained OF.
The reason of this l. because it is composed of nothing
but absolutely pure materials, scientifically combined in
exactly the proper proportions of acid and alkali to act
upon md destroy each other, while producing the largest
amount of leavening gas. This assertion is justified by
the unqualified statements made by the Gov rnment
chemists, who after thorough and exhaustive tests recon-
mended the Royal" for Governmental use because of its
superiority over all others in purity, strength, and whole
someness. There is no danger of bitter bread or biscuit
where the Royal Baking Powder is used.
