Poison i'm the Kitchen.

No article entering so generally into the food of every
household is so generally and vi1ainous1y adultered as bak-
ing powder. These adulterated powders are showed upon
the public with the greatest persistency.
Throbbing advertisements in newspapers claiming this
brand or that is absolutely pure, backed by analyses and GER
tifcates, and yet they are adulterated with ammonia or alum.
1t is to be hoped the law will take hold of these merciless
manufacturers and punish them for destroying the stomachs
of the unsuspecting consumer.
Amid all this fraud and deceit Dr.. Prices Cream Bak-
ing Powder stands almost alone battling for pure food and
continues to furnish a pure cream of tartar powder at almost
the same cost to the people as the ammonia and alum pow
ders are sold at, yet it costs much more to manufacture.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is of the highest
strength. 1t produces the largest amount of leavening power
attainable in a pure baking powder. 1t is free from ammo
MIA or any other adulteration. No powder does such work.
Housewives who have tested all use Dr.. Prices only.
