mat IL Is conducted In the finest manner there
can be no doubt. The chief steward, Mr.. Thomas
L. Allen, recently made the following outspoken
statement;
las chief steward of the Aston House. New
York, have had used in our hotel sThepure'
Baking Powder. 1t makes lighter, sweeter and
more palatable bread and cakes than anything
have ever tried, and 1t is superior to anything
In the market that 1 know Of 1t can't be
beaten"
Such a statement, and from such a source,
shows beyond question the great value to al
housekeepers of "Thepure" Baking Powder,
which, although new powder, has become so
popular. III II Is indispensable In hotel where
the most delicate pastry and choicest dishes are
produced, does 1t not stand TO reason that the
same results canbe secured In the home by the
use OF the same pure powder? Would it not be
well TO try It? The household cook will fully
appreciate Its greater value the first time she
makes use of it. The chefs OF the prominent
hotels all speak in the highest terms of 1T ana use
u IN preference to any other. Ladies prominent
In society have endorsed its excellence with their
names. Ii you are In doubt as to which is the
best Baking Powder, or II what you are using
now does not give entire satisfaction, try "The-
pure"

trade Is in our overcoat De-

but when people see an OPP
portunity to save money and
get just what they want, it's
good sense to buyit.
Do YOU ask why we are sell
ing good stylish Winter
overcoats at less than their
value before the season has
commenced? It's because
we've got too many of GER
tain kinds and they must be
turned into cash.
The consolidation of our

means too many of some
kinds. The Overcoat Depart
