Tlio fact that Royal Baking Powder is, in all respects, tho best baking powder offered to tho publio has beon established beyond question. Prof. H. A. Molt, when employed by tho U. S. Govern ment to analyzo tho various baking powders of tho market to dotermiuo which wns tho best and most economical, after an extended investigation, reported in favor of tho Iloynl, and it was adopted for government uso. Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking powders sold at tho present, day, and now affirms it as his deliberate judgment, arrived at after most thorough research and a careful examination of tho principal brands of tho market, that tho Royal is undoubtedly tho purest and most reliablo baking powder offered to th" public. Prof. Mott, in his recent report, says : "Tho Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for 1 havo so found it in many tests mado both for ihat company and the U. S. Government. " I will go still further and stato that, because of tho facilities that company havo for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dopondent upon tho proper proportions of tho same, and tho method of its prep aration, tho Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly tho purest and most reliablo baking powder offered to tho public Dit.
