Poison a; The Front Door,

No article entering so generally
into the food of every family has been
found more villainously adulter-
ated than baking powder. For the
purpose Of underselling those pow
ders of absolute purity and whole
someness which alone are safe for
use i'll food, hundreds of dealers are
putting up baking powders with
cheap and adulterated cream of tar
tar, which contains lime, earth, ETC.,
adding strength by the free use of
alum.
Those adulterated powders are
Showed" upcn the public with the
greatest persistency. Many are given
away-left in samples at private res
licences with circulars containing bo-
gus analysis and certificates and
false representations as to their value
etc. The worst of them are intro
duced to the housekeeper's attention
by fraudulent tricks or by bogus
samples, the articles when purchased
being found to de entirely different
from the sample shown. The fact
that a powder is sampled from door
to door is sufficient to condemn it.
A tirst-class article will sell ON its
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 and most inferior or
unmarketable goods require to be
distributed free in order to get the
public to use them, and this method
is adopted only by parties who have
failed to dispose of their wares
through ordinary and legitimate
channels.
Free samples of articles of food is
left at the house should be regarded
with suspicion. There is no guar
antee of their wholesomeness, while
there is real danger that they contain
a fatally poisonous compound. Many
instances Of poisoning from the use
of such samples are recorded.
The only safe WY is to consign
all such samples Immediately to the
ash barrel, and to turn deaf ear to
to the statements made by their
vendors. 1t is not worth while to
trifle with life and health to the ex-
tent of testing every doubtful bak-
ing powder that comes along. Bet
ter to rely upon an old reliable
brand, like the Royal, which has by
a quarter Of a century S constant use
proved its perfect wholesomness 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-loa or waste it in
making innumerable tests. 1t is in
its favor that the Royal baking pow
der is never given away, sold by
means Of lotteries, nor accompanied
by chromos, spoons, crockery or
other gifts, except the gift of of alb
solute purity, wholesomeness, full
weight, and supereative lcavening
power. Its own merits have been
its chief advertisement, and they
have secured for it the constant pat
ronage of the American people to an
extent beyond the combined sale OF
all other baking powders. The
Royal baking powders is certified by
all the Government chemists as alb
solutely pure and perfect.
