FOR PURE FOOD.

Upon the Baking Powder Question.

Laudabie Action by Boards Of Health
Upon the Baking Powder Question.
Boards of Health can engage in no more
commendable action than the examination of
our food supply and the instruction of the
public as to those articles which are found to
be pure and wholesome, and which therefore
consumers should use.
Action of this kind with the baking pow
ders is particularly opportune. There are
| quantities of baking powders in the market to
use which is certain detriment to the health of
the consumer. They are made from alum, or
improperly compounded from other chemicals
so that they leave a strong alkaline residuum
in the food. Many of these powders, having
proved unstable in the east, have been col
lected by their manufacturers from the dealers
with whom they were left on commission, and
shipped to the Pacific coast. In the effort to
gain foot-hold in this market unscrupulous
manufacturers of these cheaply made, low
grade baking powders have INDUCED in ex-
! travagant statements both with reference to
their own and other brands, claiming the most
improbable endorsements for theirs, and de-
flaming the brands best known and longest
used upon the Pacific coast.
The following extracts from the reports of
some of our well-known health authorities
will be of particular interest:
The State Chemist of Washington, Prof. G.
A. Bethune, says: "There is, therefore, no
question but the Royal is the strongest, purest
and most wholesome baking powder in the
MARKET
The Seattle Board of Health says: "Find-
ing in analysis that it is made of the highest
grade of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of
soda, and is entirely free from any adultera-
ton, we heartily recommend the Royal Bak-
ing Powder for its great strength, purity and
wholesomeness.'
The Tacoma Board of Health says: 'In
our judgment, the Royal is the best and
strongest baking powder before the public.
We confidently recommend it because of its
purity and care of PREPARATION
The Spokane City Board of Health report:
''There is certainly no baking powder known
to Us equal to the Royal for strength and uni
form quality, and we recommend it for its ab-
solute purity and wholesomeness."
The Board of Heath of the City of San
Francisco, after extended tests, said of the
Royal, that sit is absolutely pure and health
full, composed of the best ingredients, of the
highest strength and character" the Health |
Officers of Los Angeles reported that it was
''clearly demonstrated and proved that the |
Royal Baking Powder is pure and wholesome,
and that it stands, rs far as strength and pur-
ity are concerned, at the head of the baking |
powders of the United States;' while the |
State Chemist OF California, Prof. Rising, |
found the Royal superior in strength and pur-
ity to all other brands.
