Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
= That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which IS absolutely pure
