Never
Questioned.

While other baking powder makers are exposing
the impurities and shortcomings of the powders
Of their competitors, and the official tests by the
Government are revealing the improper ingre-
dents, the low strength. and lack of keeping
qualities Of other brands ot baking powder, no
question is raised no doubt is entertained of the
great qualities, the absolute purity and efficiency
of the Royal Baking Powder. Il stands alone,
above suspicion.
Exhaustive Government tests, the tests by
jurics Of competitive and industrial exhibitions,
the minute and prejudiccd searches by rivals for
something wrong, have had but one result, to
more fully establish The fact that the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is faultless the greatest in strength,
absolutely pure and wholesome.
DO not permit thc grocer or pcdder to sub
stitute any other brand in place of the Royal.
