The Royal Baking Powder Company has resorted to so many tricks to forco its way upon tho public, that whenever any cry of fraud is raised tho Royal Baking Powder Company, ' Ii it any wonder 1 The Royal has recently printed a statement purporting to be an interview with Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to tho Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota, to the effect that the Royal Baking Powder is all which the company asserts it to be. Tho statement is made that Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to tho Food and Dairy Commission, mado the representations referred to be fore tho legislative committee at tho last session, which ex amined various baking powders. WHAT IS THE TRUTH? - 1st. There is no such person as Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, stato chemist and analyst to tho Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota. 2d. There is a Dr. Charles W. Drew, who is state chem 1st and analyst to tho said commission, 3d. Ho denies the statement in question of tho Royal Baking TowJer Company, generally, as follows: 1st, Tho statements in no sense represent his attitude or his utterance, 2d. There has never boon, either in the published re ports of the chemist of tho commission, in his testimony before the legislative committee or elsewhere, any implied endorsement of the Royal Baking Powder as superior to other brands. - 3d, At tho session of tho legislative committed before which Dr. Drew testified, an attempt was made by the attor ney of the Royal Company to secure the statements which tho Royal Company has since printed, which attempt failed. 4th. On tho contrary, Dr. Drew did say thero were suffi cient grounds for objection to tho prosonca of ammonia in baking powders to justify tho legislative committee In tSWm mending that all such powders be required to announce upod their labels tho fact that Ammonia was oils of the Conitit ents; and Dr. Drew further expressed to the committee tho following emphatic opinion; "I would not recommend such powders to. my patients, nof would 1 use them la my own family." The Price Baking Powder Company makes a Pure Cream Tartar Baking Powder, free from ammoniaj alum, lime or any taint of impurity, and feels it owes a duty to the public as well as to itself to lay bare sucll trickery as the Royal resorts to in trying to wheedle the consumer into using its Ammonia Powder.
