Granny’s Fruit Bars

CAPE ARGUS - 1939, February 11

Anyone can bake with the help of Royal’s Double Action Baking Powder!

The first action takes place in the batter when the leavening process really should begin. The second action takes place in the heat of the oven when the Cream of Tartar completes the regulated raising process ensuring a cake that is light, even-textured and delicious. There is no fear of failure or waste of ingredients if you use this balanced and economical baking powder.

VEGETARIANISM in CAPE TOWN, 1906

CAPE ARGUS – 1906, 30 August

Already in 1906, the doctrines of VEGETARIANISM were making headway in CAPE TOWN.

Owing to the increased production of vegetables, fruit, milk and eggs the way of the would-be vegetarian or semi-vegetarian was easier than it had been in the past in this country.

According to the CAPE ARGUS, VEGETARIANISM was recognized by Medical Science as having a very direct bearing on health. One great obstacle was the lack of cooking and the skill required to turn out dishes at once nourishing and appetizing.
