THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder Has All the Honors —ln Strength and Value 30 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest Competitor. The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having reoeived the highest award for articles of its class —greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined—wherever exhibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years,at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna, and at the various State and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World’s Fair the examinations for the baking powder awards wore directed by tho chief chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington. Tho chief chemist's official report of tho tests of the baking powders, which was made for tho specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, shows the leavoning strength of tho Royal to be ICO cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. ..Of tho cream of tartar baking powders exhibited, the noxt highest in strength tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavoning gas. Tho other powders gave an average of 111. Tho Koval, therefore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of all tho othor tests. Its superiority in other respoets, however, in the quality of the food it makes as to linonoss, delicacy and wholesomouess, could not be measured by figures. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have causod the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceod the sale of all othor baking powders combined.
