Tlie result at the Chicago World's Fair Is no excetitlon. In the exhibition of former yam, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and tho various Mate and Industrial fairs, where It has been exhibited, judges have Invsrinhly a wnrded the Itoyal Haklng Powder the hlgneet honor. At the recent World' Fair the exam (nation for the linking powder award were directed by tlie chief chemist of the agricultural department at Wash Ingtnn The chief chemist's official re port of the test of the baking powders, which was made for tlie specific pur port of ascertaining which was the ticst, show the leavening strength of tlio Itoyal to be 100 cubic Inches carbonic lam tnir mini of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders ex iilbltcd, th i next highest in strength tested contained but l.'l.'l cubic Inches of leavening gas. Tue other powders gave an average of 111. The Itoyal, there-! fore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength tl ion Its uearest compel itor, and 44 iht cent, above all the other test. Its siitmrlority In other rcHis'ots, however, In the quality of food It makes as hi flneness, delicacy and wliolesotnness, could not be meas ured by figure. It Is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the coun try for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Itoyal baking powder, as shown by the sliitlsilos, to exceed the sale of all other linking powder combined.
