Baking Powder
The strongest, purest, most efficient and
'wholesome of feavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical ; indispens
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
V Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them ; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost dailv cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.
