THE H&HEsT AWARD.

Royal Baking &owder In Strength and4
Value go Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined-wherever ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division Of the Agrlcul-
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests Of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose OF as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be 16O
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. Of the cream OF tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Ear,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found of copper cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest competl-
tor, and A per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to fineness,
.delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women OF the coun.
try for so many years, that have caused
