FOR PURE FOOD.

The San Francisco Board Of Health
Notify Consumers which Is the
Best Baking Powder.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The Board of Health can engage in
no more laudable occupation than the
examination Of our food supply and
the instruction of the public as to
those articles 1t finds to be pure and
wholesome, and which, therefore, con-
sumers should use.
There are guam titles Of baking pow
ders in the market to use which is
certain detriment to the health of the
consumer. They are made from alum,
or improperly compounded from other
chemicals, so that they leave strong
alkaline residuum in the food. Many
of these powders, having been
prohibited from sale in the East,
have been collected by their
manufacturers from the dealers
with whom they were left on commits
sion, and shipped to the Pacific coast.
The public knows nothing about their
quality except what it reads in the
newspaper advertisements. In the
effort to gain a foot-hold in this mar
ket interruptions manufacturers Of
these cheaply made, low grade baking
powders have INDUCED in extrava-
CANT statements both in reference to
their own and otner brands, claiming
the most improbable endorsements
for their goods and denouncing the
brands best known and longest used
upon the Pacific coast.
The action of the physicians of the
board of health, therefore, in giving
the public reliable, authoritative in
formation as to the brand Of baking
powder to be used to secure the most
economical and wholesome food is
most valuable and timely.
The chief brands of baking powders
sold upon the Pacific coast we're COL
lected and analysed by Messrs. ThOs.
Price & Son, the well-known analyti-
cal chemists of San Francisco. They
found the strength or leavening gas
inca sured at 100 Q f. of the brands
named as follows:
NAME. Leavening Gas.
Cub. in. per OF.
ROYAL .................. III.
Giant 80. ....................! 4O.
Golden Gate. .l23.
DR.. Prices. ................ ITO.
| Pioneer. ............. ...'.'...loo.
The general usefulness of a baking
powder depends upon the quantity of
| feavening gas it gives off. AS these
powders are retailed at about the
same price, the most economical is
also apparent.
The opinion Of the Board Of Health
| is as follows:
We, the members of the Board Of
Health of the city and County Of San
Francisco, cordially approve and re-
commend the Royal Baking Powder.
1t is absolutely pure and healthful,
composed of the best ingredients, of
the highest strength and character.
In our judgment, 1t is impossible to
make purer or stronger baking pow
der than the Royal.
