The Secret of
Is wholly in using Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder.
The only pure Cream Tarter Powder sold on the market.
Other brands contain either ammonia, alum or some other
adulterant. Ammonia or alum powders dry out, make the
dough too porous, leaving a bitter taste, etc.
' No agency has assisted so much toward perfection In
cookery as Price's Cream Baking Powder. Its ingredients
are simple and so blended as to exist in exact chemical pro
portions, so after use there is never any excess of either left la
the food. Hence there can be no impurities whatever left la
the finished food. No bitter taste, no taint of ammonia, but
food raised with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder partakes
of the natural sweet flavor of the flour and keeps moist and
fresh for days. This powder possesses qualities peculiar to
It alone. No other makes such delicious pastry. No Othet
contains the white of eggs.
