At this season the housekeeper must look
specially after the baking powder.
As she cannot make good cake with had eggs,
no more can she make cake that is light, delicious
and dainty with inferior baking powder. '
Royal Baking I'owder is indispensable for the
preparation of the finest food. It imparts that
peculiar lightness, sweetness and flavor noticed in
the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
which expert bakers say is unobtainable by the
use of any other leavening agent.
