The tests made by the Government chemists show that Royal Baking
Powder is of the highest efficiency and usefulness as a leavening
agent; that it does not contain alum, ammonia, or lime, and is
absolutely pure. The official tests by the various State Food
Commissions, Boards of Health, and official analysts show no other
baking powder so pure, strong, and healthful.
More ill health and physical discomfort result from unwholesome food
than from any other one cause, and chief among unwholesome foods are
the alum and other cheaply made baking powders.
The market is full of low-grade powders, mostly made from burnt alum
and phosphatic acid. The sale of these powders is urged by some
dealers because they are bought cheap at wholesale and yield them
large profits. Consumers should _ask for Royal and take no substitute_.
Alum baking powders are classed as poisonous by the most eminent
physicians. They cost but three cents a pound to make, and being sold
at from twenty to forty cents, are also a commercial fraud. They
cause indigestion, heartburn, dyspepsia, and diseases of the liver
and kidneys. Consumers who value their health must be on their guard
against these dangerous powders. It will be safer in all cases to
_demand the Royal and take no other_.
The housewife will find no possible substitute for the Royal Baking
Powder. There is no other baking powder or preparation that will
render the food so excellent in every quality.
=Instead of cream of tartar and soda=, or soda and sour milk, the best
housekeepers now use Royal Baking Powder. It is almost impossible for
the housekeeper to procure pure cream of tartar. Professor Chandler,
when president of the New York Board of Health, stated in an official
report that he found upon investigation that nearly all the cream
of tartar sold by grocers was adulterated with white clay, alum, or
other hurtful substance. These ingredients are dangerous to health,
impoverishing the blood, producing dyspepsia, etc. Professor Chandler
strongly recommends the use of a well-known baking powder (like the
Royal) in all kinds of baking as more convenient, economical, and
healthful.
Royal Baking Powder is sold only in securely labeled tin cans.
=Remember=, in all old receipts where cream of tartar and soda or
saleratus are called for, you can substitute Royal Baking Powder and
get better results.
The usual proportions, old way, are: 2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar to
1 of soda or saleratus;
Instead of which USE 2 TEASPOONFULS OF ROYAL BAKING POWDER, and mix
it with the flour while dry. This powder is so pure and perfectly
combined that one third less will do better work.
=Never use so-called prepared or self-raising flours. They mostly
contain alum, phosphates, or other injurious ingredients.=
