Sumner Food

Varies greatly in kind from what we eat II
winter in almost all respects. There is one
exception. It Is bread. Bread we eat the
wear round, and hot bread is as welcome in
summer as at any other time, if it can be made
as fresh, crisp and wholesome as it is always
made when Solar Baking Powder is USED
The advantages of Solar are that, having the
greatest leavening strength of all, it takes less
of it to do the work, and it does it quicker than
anv other baking powder; that it is the highest
development of pure food products, being
made of absolutely pure cream of tartar, refined
for us from pure grape juice by the foremos
chemists of the United States, and that it costs
the consumer much less than other cream Of
tartar baking powders. If Solar were made
by a trust probably it would not possess all thss
excellent qualities, and undoubtedly it would
cost you great deal more. But Solar is mot
made by the Trust.
