The Royal Baking Powders pur-
itv and healthfulnesS are shown by
the United States Government re-
port, and are so universally recog-
nized that the use OF the Royal is ap-
proved and encouraged by health
officials at home and abroad.
Alum baking powders are consid-
cred SO injurious to health and their
promiscuous sale such a grave source
OF danger that their use is deprecated
by every health officer and is fire.
quently prohibited by law.
In the District of Columbia, under
the laws of Congress, the use of alum
in bread, biscuit, cake and other food
is a misdemeanor, punishable by
heavy penalty.
Housekeepers who do not desire
to violate the laws should bear in
mind that the alum baking powders
are found among the new or low
priced brands OF the market. The
fact that these brands are sold or
guaranteed as pure cream OF tartar
powders should have no weight, as
chemical analysis shows to the con-
trary.
II you buy and use the Royal you
will be sure that you are not using
an alum powder and that you will
have the best and purest food.
