ITE ROYAL BAKING POWDER is more economical than — other brands because of its greater leavening strength, as shown by both the U.S. and Canadian Government Reports. The other baking powders contain from 20 to 8o per cent. less leavening gas than the ROYAL. So the ROYAL, even should it cost more than the others, would be much the cheaper. In addition to this the superior flavor, sweetness, wholesome- ness and delicacy of the food raised by ROYAL BAKING POWDER would make any difference in cost insignificant Highest of all in leavening strength.— Latest U.
