The general usefulness of a baking
powder depends upon the quantity of leav-
ening 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 recommend the
Royal Baking Powder 1t is absolutely
pure and healthful, composed of the best
ingredients, of the highest strength and
character.
In our Judgment, it is impossible to make
a purer or stron ger baking powder than the
Royal.

eide the title to the old Chambers
property, Queen and Race, by James

heirs of Anthony Chambers, decd.
In 1923, Jos. s. Chambers, the faith
er Of James HI. Chambers and A. S.
Chambers, and the owner of this cor
ner lot died intestate. Since then, it
Is claimed on one side, that A. s..
Chambers has been in possession and
occupancy of this property, having
paid off his fathers debt thereon, took
deeds from some of his brothers and
sisters and had really purchased from
the others, but had neglected to take a
deed. These circumstances, it is
claimed, gave A. s. Chambers good
title by adverse possession. On the
other hand, James III. Chambers
claims that, as he made no deed to A.
s. Chambers, the relation of tenants
in common prevent the claim of ad-
verse possession and that he never
sold out his interest.
