To manufaC turerS like the Royal
Baking Powder Company, the public
is under large debt of gratitude
for the increased purity Of articles of
food sold AT the present day. The
reports of the official Government in
vcstigations of baking powders show
the Royal to be stronger and purer
than any other. 1t is quite evident
that neither ingenuity, science nor eX-
pense can in any way improve upon
the Royal Baking Powder as now be-
