A Distinctive Reason *' / * ' What is the chief reason for the superiority of Royal Baking Powder ? There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes u&ed in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York
