The official tests by the various State Food Commissions, Boards of Health, and official analysts show no other baking powder 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. There are numerous brands of these low-grade powders, mostly made from burnt alum and lime phosphates. They can be distin¬ guished generally by their low price. The sale of alum powders is urged by some dealers because they are bought cheap (they cost less than 3 cts. a pound to make) and yield a huge profit. Consumers should ask for Royal and take no substitute. There is no other baking powder or preparation that will render the food so wholesome, so excellent in every quality. The old-fashioned way of buying at the shops cream of tartar and soda separately and mixing them in the flour, or of using soda and sour milk, has been discarded by most housekeepers, because it is impossible to buy these articles in a pure state or to mix them accurately. The many official investigations of food articles have found the cream of tartar in the shops adulterated with clay or alum. The Royal Baking Powder Company prepare the ingredients used in their own mammoth refineries, rendering them chemically pure. Royal Baking Powder is thus 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 use 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 of Royal Baking Powder, and mix it with the flour while dry. This powder is so pure and perfectly combined that one-third less will do better work. Never use so-called prepared or self-raising flours. They mostly contain alum, lime phosphates, or some injurious ingredient. THE OFFICIAL TESTS Show Royal Baking Powder Superior to All Others The United States Government, after elaborate tests, shows Royal Baking Powder a pure cream of tartar powder of greater leavening strength than any other. Bulletin 13, U. S. A g. Dep., p. 599. The Canadian official tests, recently made, show Royal Baking Powder highest of all in leavening strength. Bulletin 10, Inland Rev. Dep., p. 16. Royal Baking Powder is superior to any other powder which I have examined; a baking powder unequaled for purity, strength, and wholesomeness, Willis G. Tucker, M.D., Ph.D., New York State Analyst. As the excellence of a baking powder is dependent upon the yield of leavening gas, and upon the wholesomeness and purity of its ingredients, the Royal is unquestionably the best.
