A Few Words in the Interest of Truth Referring to various statements appearing in the press recently, the Royal Baking Powder Company states: . That it has no interest whatever in the controversy over the. use of Albumen (sometimes called white of egg) in baking powder, and has not had any part in the actions before officials that have taken place in the various states; That it believes Albumen to be entirely unnecessary and used only for deceitful purposes; That if Albumen was a proper ingredient of baking powder, or performed any legitimate function, it would have adopted it many years ago, as its cost is infinitesimal ; That it has no interest, direct or indirect, in the K. C. Baking Powder, the owners of which are reported to be opposed to the use of Albumen, nor in the Calumet or Crescent baking powders, in both of which Albumen is used; that the only baking powders in which it has any interest in the United States are its own. well known brands, "Royal," "Dr. Price's" and "Cleveland'sall made of Cream of Tartar. The Company brjlieves that the question whether Albumen is a proper ingredient for baking powder is- insignificant 'compared with the vastly more important question as to Alum, the use of which in baking powder has been so generally condemned. It is a noteworthy fact that all the baking powders containing Albumen are made of Alum. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.
