[illustration: Royal Baking Powder advertisement header] ROYAL 1 SimaLy PllRE,CREinOFIARTAII bakinr powder rilHE tests made by the Government chemists show that Royal X Baking Powder is of the highest efficiency and usefulness as a leavening agent ; that it does not contain alum, ammonia, or lime, and is absolutely pure. The official tests by the various State Food Commissions, Boards of Health, and official analysts show no other baking powdej so pure, strong, and healthful. More ill health and physical discomfort result from unwholesome food than from any other one cause, and chief among unwholesome foods are the alum and other cheaply made baking powders. The market is full of low-grade powders, mostly made from burnt alum and phosphatic acid. The sale of these powders is urged by some dealers because they are bought cheap at wholesale and yield them large profits. Consumers should ask for Royal and take no substitute. Alum baking powders are classed as poisonous by the most eminent physicians. They cost but three cents a pound to make, and being sold at from twenty to forty cents, are also a commercial fraud. They cause indigestion, heartburn, dyspepsia, and diseases of the liver and kidneys. Consumers who value their health must be on their guard against these dangerous powders. It will be safer in all cases to demand the Royal and take no other. The housewife will find no possible substitute for the Royal Baking Powder. There is no other baking powder or preparation that will render the food so excellent in every quality.
