held here yesterday was as follows /:
Total number of votes polled 80. 1926
For the sale 16S
Against the sale'......... ............. l57
Those who voted for the sale claimed
that if local option carried, they would
not be permitted to give away a glass
of cider without making themselves
liable 10 fine. Those who voted
against the sale claimed that it left the
cider and wine question just as it was
before the adoption of the law. That
what a person could do legally with
his wine and cider before the present
law was enacted they could do now
Those who voted for the sale claimed
that the selling of a gallon of cider, or
the giving of glass to neighbor,
made it a place where Intoxicating
liquors was kept, while those who
voted against the sale claim that a
place meant room where wine, cider,
or other intoxicating liquors are kept
for sale, or to be given away, as bev.

what BaAins Fowdsr saall We.

This plain question comes home to
every housekeeper. We all desire pure
and wholesome food, and this cannot
be had with the use of impure or poi
sonous baking powder. There can be
no longer question that all the cheap
er, lower grade of baking powders con-
tain either alum, lime or phosphate
acid. AS 10th as we may be to admit
so much against what may have been
some of our household gods, there con
b. no gainsayi g the unan,n Gu t i
mony of the official chemists. Indeed,
analysts seem to find no baking pow
der entirely free from some one of
these Objectionable ingredients except
the Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some of the
baking powders advertised pure to
contain, under the tests of Prof Chan
dler, Habirshaw and others, nearly
twelve per cent of lime, while others
are made from alum with no cream of
tartar. This we presume accounts for
their lack of leavening power, as some
times complained of by the cook. and
for the bitter taste found in the biscuits
so frequently complained of by our.
selves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the phys.
iolOgists assure us that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quaint.
ties as this are injurious. They are
not decOmpose by heat, nor dissolved
in mixing or baking. They go with
the bread, therefore, into the stomach,
where their physiological effects are
indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils
J The question naturally arises, why
J do these cheap baking powder makers
use these things? Alum is three cents
pound, lime still cheaper, while
cream of tartar costs thirty five OF
forty. The reasons for the chemica
} purity of the Royal Baking Powde
, were recently given in the New Yori
Times in an interesting description o
: new method for refining argols, o
7 crude cream of tartar 1t seems tina
it is only under this process tnat cream
of tartar can be freed from the linn
natural to it and rendered chemical,
S pure; that the patents and plant fo
f this cost the Royal Baking Powde
l Company about half million dollars
and that they maintain exclusive con
troll of the rights.
: Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemis
f of the Department of Agriculture a
3 Washington, D. c., in the interest O
i commerce, made an examination @
4 this process, and reported upon tn
t results obtained in the refined cream
i of tartar. The following extracts from
: his report would SEEM to answer th
a question repeated at the head of thi
f article, and which is so fresuentl
j propounded by the housekeeper:
4 & 1 have examined the cream of tai
5 tar used by the Royal Baking Powde
e Company in the manufacture of thei
d baking powder, and find it to be pei
s fectly pure, and free from lime in an
e form. The chemical tests to which
d have submitted the Royal Bakin
: Powder prove it perfectly healthfu

Though thousands make up the fam
lily of Victor riders, it is yet an exclu.
sive family composed only of those
who appreciate the fact that it is gen.
uine economy to buy the best.
AS the horseman is judged by his
beast. so is the cyclist by his wheel.
1.-THE apparel oft proclaims the
man :" today, he who rides Victor,
is looked upon as a wheelman of judg
ment. His choice is sufficient proof
that he appreciates merit.
Whether mounting the hill, coasting
the grade, or spinning the long miles,
the Victor is nowhere less than Victor.
Its reputation has caused it to be freely
copied and it is we'll known that high
grade cycles, in common with other
lines of fine goods, are made to suffer
by the cheap limitations which are of.
fered by makers whose chief aim is to
market an inferior article by trading
upon the reputation of those of known
merit.
New features are not always inn
provements. Much threshing is need
ed to separate grain from chaff.
We will not burden the public with
descriptions of intricate machinery,
and detailed accounts of methods.
Processes are nothing, products every
thing. We point with pride to the
wheels we make; and it is needless
for us to assure riders that it would be
impossible to produce such machines
without the best plant and materials,
combined with labor long skilled in
the art of cycle making,-requirements
which are fully met in our own facto-
ry, fitted with machinery unexcelled
for doing the finest work.

used them fully and emphaticslly cor
