Instead of cream of tartar and soda, or soda and sour milk, the
best housekeepers now use Royal Baking Powder. It is almost impos-
sible for the housekeeper to procure pure cream of tartar. Professor
Chandler, when president of the New York Board of Health, stated in
an official report that he found upon investigation that nearly all the
cream of tartar sold by grocers was adulterated with white clay, alum,
or other hurtful substance. These ingredients are dangerous to health,
impoverishing the blood, producing dyspepsia, etc. Professor Chandler
strongly recommends the use of a well-known baking powder (like the
Royal) in all kinds of baking as more convenient, economical, and
healthful.
Royal Baking Powder is sold only in securely labeled tin cans.
Remember, in all old receipts where cream of tartar and soda or
saleratus are called for, you can substitute Royal Baking Powder and
get better results.
The usual proportions, old way, are : 2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar
to 1 of soda or saleratus ;
Instead of which use 2 teaspoonfuls op Royal Baking Powder,
and mix it with the flour while dry. This powder is so pure and per-
fectly combined that one third less will do better work.
Never use so-called prepared or self-raising flours. They
mostly contain alum, phosphates, or other injurious ingredients.
THE OFFICIAL TESTS
SHOW ROYAL BAKING POWDER SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS
The United States Government, after elaborate tests, reports the Royal Baking PowdOT
a pure cream of tartar powder of greater leavening strength than any other.
Bulletin 13, U. S. Ag. Dep., p. 599.
The Canadian official tests, recently made, show the Royal Baking Powder highest of all
in leavening strength. Bulletin 10, Inland Rev. Dep., p. 16.
The Royal naving powder is superior to any other powder which I have examined; a
baking powder imequaled for purity, strength, and wholesomenees.

As the excellence of a baking powder is dependent upon the yield of leavening gas, and
upon the wholesomeness and piu'ity of its ingredients, the Royal is unquestionably the best

I have from time to time analyzed the Royal Baking Powder, and have uniformly found it

My tests show the Royal Baking Powder of very superior leavening power ; a cream of
tartar powder of the highest purity, containing no alum, lime, ammonia, or any unwhole-
some material. R. C. Kedzie, late State Analyst, Michigan.
Royal Baking Powder is composed of the best and purest ingredients. It is absolutely
pure, with perfect keeping qualities, and as strong as such a powder can be made. Royal
makes the food much finer, besides assuring its perfect healthfulness.
