by apprecatve housekeepers that there is no other
leavening compound that can or does compete, on
the basis of purity and strength, with the Royal

sOther compounds intended for baking purposes
made without science, of poor materials, at low
cost, depend for their restricted sale upon the pa
tronage of those who will use a greatly inferior
article if procurable at little lower price, or upon
the recommendation of dealers whose sefinterest
urges the sale Of goods yielding them the largest
