 The public is always responsive to sug

The Royal bakug powder was here also shown the pnrsst aud highest m strength, containing l29 32 cubic inch. i es ut leHyeulUg gts per ounce of powder Nine other cream ul tartar powders were tested, thelr average strength being re- poEted Co be S9 cubic inches uf gas per ounce
