Practical Economy Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream o f tartar, derived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but, they differ greatly in leavening power. I f a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and the cake turns o&t a failure there is a waste o f costly materials worth more than a whole can o f the cheap bak­ ing powder. Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and its use therefore, results in an actual saying. R O Y A L B A K ING PO W D E R CO. N ew York S« E. King, twenty, Norwalk, was killed by a train.

The Republican papers in the state should shout loud and long over the management of the re­ cent campaign and the fact that the state committee manag­ ed to find a ten dollar bill fo r each out o f that two or three hundred thousand that was spent fo r'tin horn speakers, flags and red fire. The knights of the pen that usually urge votjng under the “Eagle,” certainly awoke last Saturday morning 'upon reading the committee report as filed un­ der the corrupt practice act and found they had been asleep at the switch and let the “ gold . special” get by. One item in the expense ac­ count shows that the Columbus Monitor was paid $21,234 for po­ litical. advertising, That ought to have defeated any pet of can­ didates. Spending a hunk o f money like that, with one paper, should give every; Republican scribe the chills arid fever when he examines the voucher handed him. ■ ■r There can be no question but that the Geiger-JonSS sheet need­ ed help.
