" I have tested a packago of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in the open market, aod tìnti it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain cither alum or phosphates, or other injurious substances. E. G.

This practical test for worth by 1 rof. 8ched!er only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder kn( ws by pmct’cal experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far rrore economical, besides affording the advant­ age of better work.
