The health authorities of number of States have re-
Gently made exhaustive examinations Of this character and
with the uniform result of finding the Royal superior to
all Others The United States Government Chemist after
an examination for tho Indian Department made the en-
phac statement that "The Royal Baking Powder is the
purest in quality and highest in strength of any baking
powder of which have knowledge" The authorities Of
Canada have been making elaborate study baking
powders sold there The official analyst of Ontario says
as the result of his investigation that he finds the Roya
Baking Powder far superior the others goes so far
as to recommend its in preference any other Like

throughout the county show it to produce average of
