ROYAL
Baking Powder

The strongest, pureSt, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
heathful food
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported :
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, buildings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-08-03

Alum is used in many baking powders because makes
them cheap. 1t costs less than two cents pound.
Alum is corrosive poison Think of feeding it to chill
dren Yet the manufacturers of welknown alum
powders actually denying that their goods contain it.
