The Saving of
Wloney hy
of Royal
Baking Powder is considerable.
Royal is economical, because it
possesses more leavening power
and goes further.
Royal saves also because it
always makes fine, light, sweet
food; never wastes good flour;
Jbutter and eggs.
More 1m
portant still is
the saving in
health. Royal
Baking Pow
der adds anti
dyspeptic qualities to the
food.

begin now to organize a choir in ev
ery :hurch in the county. You have
the talent, let not indifference any
linger stand in the way.
There is no
baking
powder so
economical
in practical
use, no
tr.atter how
tittle others
may cost,
as the Royal
Imitation baking powders almost invariably con
tain alum. Alum makes the food unwholesome.
