The article credited to the New
York Press in a recent issue of this
paper, in which it was alleged that
unfavorable action had been taken
in the New York Legislature against
the Royal Baking Powder, proves
to have been q canard, gotten up
and circulated by opposition baking
powder makers for purposes quite
apparent to everyone.
The New York Press, in exposing
the fraud, says: "No such legisla-
ton as that stated in this article has
ever been had in this State-or in
any legislature, to our knowledge. :"
The lie is made from whole cloth.
The Press disclaims any response

methods adopted by some baking
powder manufacturers in their efforts
to substitute their goods for others
now in use.
