Cakes Without Eggs.

Observing housekeepers quickly learn that DR.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands In
the fact that they never fail to make the finest pastry, and
if they wish to be economical they can dispense entirely with
eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening
purposes. The advantage is not alone in the saving effected
but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty
Of securing eggs that are fresh. This is often a serious
trouble.
Cakes Of various kinds from the informal Griddle
Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Prices
Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand
some cakes; or when used for Grddle Cakes to be eaten hot
enables their production in the shortest space of time, always
tender and delicious.
Oh. Prices is the only Baking Powder that contains the
white Of eggs. None SO pure! None so wholesomel
Dr.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity Of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

VlRTUoUs INDIGNATION CRIES OUT

The Montpelier Watchman had the bad
grace last week to accuse the university
at Burlington of selfshness in not allow
ing the people of the State to say freely
what should be done with the agriculture
al fund, and contrasted their actions in
an unpleasant manner with those of the
Dartmouth college authorities. who, the
Watchman said. did not oppose the re-
mOval of the agricultural college from
Hanover to Durham. The Free Press is
much ''riled'' at the Watchmans insinua-
tons, and replies in substance as follows ::
The university of Vermont and State
Agricultural college was chartered and
exists solely for the public good. Its
trustees give much time (Which is money!
and care to it, without cent of compen-
satiOn. Its president has in recent years
had several offers of much more lucrative
and less laborious positions, and has de-
clined them. because of his unselfish de-
votion to the interests of education in
Vermont and TO its leading institution of
learning. Teachers are everywhere the
most unsefish class in the community,
and the professors and instructors in our
university and agricultural college are
no exceptions to the rule. In this par
ticular matter, the trustees and officers
of the institution considered it their
simple duty to administer the trust COM
mitted to them by the charter, and to re-
tain the agricultural college as a part
of that trust, which they have no right
