the exhibitions of former years, at the

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

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-
pertaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be leo

Of powder. OF the cream Of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Fair,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1913 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 competi-
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
