preparation. The consumer is not experimental
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get
mixture that will not F." cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes Of propnetorship or manu-
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday
or last week or month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in a can of Royal is
as good as the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced
against the receipt into the works of impure in
gredient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combina-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder SO
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make the
perfect Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been a great many
limitations Of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost.
The great popularity and general use of the
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

The delegation of Michigan farmers
who have been inspecting lands in the
Northwest with view of immigrating
TO that country with their families and
friends, have made the following re-
port:
We arrived at Winnipeg on July
Goth The Manitoba provincial exhibit
ton was then open, and was visited by
us. The cattle and horses were beyond
our expectations: the former, fattened
on prairie grass, were superior to much
stall fed stock that we have seen. The
other exhibits were credit to the new
province. We arrived at Calgary on
July 30. The crops west Of Winnipeg
32s miles were very good. The Portage
district. which we passed through, was
one of the best we have ever seen, the
wheat. barley, oats, all apparently per-
feet as to quality and quantity. The
Brandon district was also very good.
On our passage we saw many fields of
grain of so and 100 acres, many miles
of grain rs far as the eye could reach.

the ranching country. We visited the
Chapan rancho, which has 1000 hcaa
of cattle and coo horses. Both the
cattle and horses looked in prime con-
dition. Though the grass was very
short, it was plentiful and succulent.
We also saw in one flock 1000 sheep,
and heard of another of 5000. Stock
of all kinds thrive in Alberta.
''On Monday, August I'd. we took the
Edmonton and Calgary railroad for Ed

country improved as we travelled north;
80 miles from Calgary all the growth
commenced TO be very luxuriant, the
grass being especially good We
found that many settlers were already

become almost universal - its sale greater in this

The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t Is absolutely pure and wholesome.

1t makes the finest favored most tender,

1t makes food that will keep sweet, moist

The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all Others in these respects are easily
stated One is because it is made from chemically
pure Materials another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
