Royal Baking Powder

Strongest, Purest, Most Economical.
o
A to whether any of the baking powders are equal to
the "Royal," the official tests clearly determine. Qvhen
.implej of various baking powders were purchased from
the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Govern
ment Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards
,.f Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal"
contained from 28 per cent, to fto per cent, more leavening
strength than the others, and also that it was more per
fectly combined, absolutely pure, and altogether wholesome.
As most of these powders are sold to
consumers at the same price as the " Royal."
by the use of the Royal Baking IWderthere
is an average saving of over one third, be
sides the advantage of assured purity and
wholcsomcncss of food, and of bread, bis
cuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet,
and palatable.
The official reports also reveal the pres
ence, in other powders, of alum, lime or
sulpfiuric acid, by w hich their use is made a matter of grave
danger to the consumer. ,
Whenever a baking powder is sold at a lower price than
the" Royal," or with a gift, it is a certain indication that it is
made from alum, and is to be avoided under all circumstances.

liuaginatiun and rives full scops to
peculation, has a stsxrial fascination for
Uiein. If preachers would writ out
their experience with this class of per

reading. It was a baruilrwe kind of
crank that Ilisbop Thomas Dowman, of
this city, ran against one time at a camp
meeting. -n that occasion h preached
from the following text: "As Mose
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
tun to must the son of man be lifted
up." The moot attentive listener in the
congregation was a tall, lank individual,
with wild, deep set eyes and long hair.
At the conclusion of the sermon h

Utter, divining the character of the
Bun, tried to get away from bun, but

"Well, now, my brother," said the
bishop, with just a little piiue in his

weather was hot, "what is it you wish?"

The act o( Congress authoriiing the

resulted In a most unprecedented com
pliment to the Itoyal liaking l'owder.
The teeta were mad In th givernmeat
laboratory at w ashlngton, and th offi

perior to all other In leavening strength
being over 30 per rent, above th av
erage. The repirt also shows the purity
of tli Koyal l'owder and the wholesome-
ue of it Ingredient.
This I prolstbly th highest compli

their old friend and favorite.
Th result ol th oillcial examination.
a thus determined, will, of coure, make
the " Koyal " the standard lor govern

"August
Flower?
" I am Past Master bere and keep

for tale for some time. I think it is
splendid medicine." E A. Bond,
P. M., Pavilion Centre, N. V.
The stomach is the reservoir.
If it fails, everything fails. Tbt
liver, the kidneys, the lungs, tbt
heart, the head, the blood, the nerves
all go wrong. If you feel wrong,
look to the stomach first Put that
right at once by using August
Flower. It assures a good appetite
and a good digestion.
