Both Better and Cheaper

The Royal Baking Powder, actual fact is the
most economical in Of any made because Of its
greatly superior strength.
Both the United States and Canadian Governments
in the reports Of their investigation Of baking powders
have published this fact officially
The other baking powders known in this vicinity
are shown by chemical tests to contain from 20 to 50
per cent less leavening gas than the Royal So the
Royal should more than the others, would
be much the cheaper.
In addition to this the superior favor sweetness,
wholesomeness and decacy Of the food raised by ROYAL
Baking Powder would make any difference in cost
insignificant.
When the Royal makes finer and more wholesome
food at less cost which every housekeeper familiar
with will affirm, why discard altogether the old
fashioned methods Of soda and sour milk, or home-
made mixture Of cream Of and Soda and use

RECIPROCITY
Discussed by President Harrisou and
asnoE Miguel suaSex 0uaues.

Some interesting remarks bearing on the
subject of reciprocity took place today be-
tween Senor Miguel Susrez Guanes, the

occasion Of the formers formal presenta-
ton to the President ~ the newly accred-
tied representative of Spain. Senior Guanei

tary Blaine. Afler the usual interchange
of expressions Of xmity, cordially and
well wishes, the minister spoke
"Spain ard the United States certainly
are two patiops which have every reason
to live in perfect harmony with each other,
constantly maintaing cordial relations 81
their mutual interests demand. Sincere
friendship has so long existed bet t~een the
two governments that ii is = kusrAntee to
me of the successful discharge of the offc-
ial functions upon which am about to en-.
ter. The international exchange of tbs
productions and manufactures Of each peo.
pie is surely one Of the necessary laws
based upon the instincts and universal needs
of the present day and the greater differ
erence between their customs, disposi-
tions and the productions Of their labor, 90
much more necessary 10 it for the
nations to come closer together and increase
their exchanges. Large transactions have
been beneficial result to the intimate re-
lations which have so lorg existed between
America and Spain, and great is the COM
mon commercial interests that happily
unites my patton and yours. To maintain
these interests and contribute to their de.
velopments shall be the object of my solic-
itous care. | entertain hope, Mr.. Presineni
that 10 you and your government, shall
meet with kind andNfriendly coo operation 10
fully fulfill the high mission connded to me
in this republic"
The resident spoke cordially in resp,ns
