success of the Eforts TO scotch bad Bak-
ing Powders.
The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company upon
the hosts Of adulterated and impure
baking powders sold throughout the
country is having a desirable effect.
The scandalous attact upon the Royal
company by the manufacturers OF the
impure goods which are made doubt
less both from spirit Of revenge and in
the hope of breaking the effects Of the
damaging exposures) show that they
are hit, while the Official reports which |
have come from various public author
tiles fully corroborating the statements
made by the Royal company. have
awakened wholesome public sentiment
in favor of repressive laws, which means
mischief to the illegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
set out some time ago to expose the
character and to break up the sale of
adulterated baking powders. Having
found from an examination OF many
specimens that there was large number
of actually injurious powders in the
market, they brought the matter before
the public and denounced the makers by
in the press and to the health authorit-
ies The affair was taken by the physi-
clans, boards of health, and legislatures
throughout the country, chemists were
employed to test the various powders in
the market, and the government itself di-
rected analyses to be made before it
would purchase the supplies needed for
army, navy, and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges made
by the Royal company. Not only were
the majority of baking powders in the
market found to be largely adulterated,
but many of them were ascertained to
contain alum and other poisonous in
cred tents to such an extent as to render
them positively unsafe to use in human
food. In making the charge the Royal
Baking Powder Company did not hest
tate to enter into competition with every
other baking powder in the country, and
it is public satisfaction that in the
official tests by the government and
State chemists and by boards of health,
the Royal Baking Powder has been de-
clared to be the superior of all others in
strength, purity and wholesomeness, and
, absolutely free from all inferior or detri-
, mental substances.
From recent official reports it is evid-
emit that the alum and otherwise impure
goods have again come upon the market

against these goods the Royal is meet
ing with the old-time opposition and
=, abuse. The public, however, will appre-
l ciate, as heretofore, both the object of
r the abuse and the action of the Royal
t company and award full justice to the
company that SO fearlessly stands up for
it's protection from such adventures.
