Chicago Inter-ocean.,

The purchasing agents Of the U.

one hundred thousand pounds of Dr.
Prices Baking Powder in the first
five months of this year, 1892.

adopted Dr. Prices Baking Powder il,
proof that it has found it the best OF
all the baking powders. DR.. Prices

changes affect il, this brand keeping
fresh and sweet for years while Other

harmful substances, and it is also th,
only baking powder prepared by
/ physician of long standing.
