Cakes Without Eggs.
Observing housekeepers quickly learn that Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands In
the fact that they never fail to mako the finest pastry, and
if they wish to be economical they can dispense entirely with
eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening
purposes. The advantage is not alono in the saving effected
but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty
of securing eggs that are fresh. This Is often a serious
trouble.
Cakes of various kinds from the informal Griddle
Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Price's
Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand
some cakes; or when used for Griddle Cake3 to be eaten hot
enables their production in the shortest space of time, always
tender and delicious.
Dr. Price's is the only Baking Powder that contains the
white of eggs. None so pure ! None so wholesome !
'.',' -i ',
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any. other adulterant. In fact,' the
purity of this ideal pow ' 'Has never been ques
tioned. , i Y
