To THE PUBLIC:
The public is cautioned against the practice
OF many grocers who sell what they claim to
be Royal Baking Powder. loose or in bulk,
without label or trademark. All such DOW.

Gus effect of alum upon the system, to need
further caution against the use of any baking
powders known to be made from this drug:
but the dealers assurance, 'Oh, it's lust "a

the uRsuspecting consumers into buving an
article which they would not knowingly use

A few years age, as you rode over the I'M

tivated land seemed to te devoted solely to
the raising OF wheat. Stock was limited to
the working animals, and knew of many
farmers who bought most OF their own but
ter. No fine herds no blooming fields of
clover saluted the eye, The crops grew
beautifully; our farmers driited toward
bankruptcy. Machinery and mortgages
band in hand covered the land. But new
period came, = blooming clover field peeped
into Ii g here and there. A bull Of royal
pedigree would come into the neighborhood
tho fields of tasseled corn began to move;
the country fairs grew in interest and noble
prize lists. Philosophy and good sense
brought fields of timothy, creameries and
private diaries We have been
obliged to use the elements and forces put
Into our hands, It has brought content
ment and prosperity. We have found that
he Who applies industry, care, method and
study, will find one of the safest, surest,
most honor. d and elegant pursuits in all
the fapse Of agricultural lifs. ;,
