Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?;
-. It is ibnceclcd that the Royal -Baking: Powder is...
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
,est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
dermakes the lightest food. - -r-
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food. " .
1 Why should not 'every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ? . . .
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Eoyal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure. . .
About Dtxptmycd Gamta,
There is u old English law, I am told,
whereby a "shopkeeper" can be com

a customer points out. Several com
paratively recent arrivals in this conn
try have cited this to me, and kicked
with both feet because of refusals to
poil a show window display by taking
apairof ehoesof brand and size of

fur as I can learn the enactment was in

siimplra for windows and the palming
Off on persons attracted thereby of
"something equally aa good." f
, However true it may be that the old
English common law regards the price
on an article in a window as a contrast
between the store owner and any passer
by who tenders the money, there is no
' snch ordinance or law here. Often peo
ple insist on having something from the
. window, and decline to accept its exact
; duplicate. In that case, if the article is
n Avmnsiva .one. xve strain the point
and get it down; bnt if it is something
low priced we give the customer the al
ternative of taking a duplicate or
