Few realize the amount of money
that is annually spent on matches.
In Sweden, for example, the aspen
forests have been SO reduced through
the manufacture that now that
country has to import its lumber
from Russia. How many sticks do
you think you will produce out of one
cubic foot oflumber? Exactly $4,000
sticks. The match company of this
city turns out something like $4,000
600 to 10000, 600 sticks a day. The
output of matches in the United
States amounts to at least $12, O00,-
ooe per annum. Originally the wax
match came from Italy, and for a
very good reason-there was no suit
able wood in the country. Gradually
Il was introduced into use by other
nations. :

THE TARIFF CASES.

Supreme Court Today Before a Small
AudIence-The Constitutionality of the
Act Was the Point Argued.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Three tariff
cases involving the constitutionality of
the Mckinley tariff act came up for
argument in the United States supreme
court this afternoon. All Justices were
present. Notwithstanding the great
importance of the suits only a small
audience listened to the argument.
The three cases before the court are
those of Boyd, Sutton & Go. and Stern
bach & Co., of New York City. and
Marshall, Field & Co., of Chicago,
against the collectors of customs of New
York and Chicago respectively. The
three points are involved in the decision
of these suits, and the court hears all
the cases at once and made an order by
which to each of the attorneys repre-
senting the three firms vas assigned one
of the points at issue to be reviewed in
the opening argument. As the
argument progressed, the justices of the
court asked a few leading questions.
W. W. Smith of New York, argued the
bounty clause, contending that the
bounties were unconstitutional and
that the bounty section invalid
ated the whole ect. Erwin B. Smith,
ex. assistant attorney. general, and now
of New Y, TX, argued the reciprocity
feature of the Mckinley act, maintain
ing that it was the delegation of the
taxing power to the president, which
vitiated the whcle act. M. W. Bliss, of
Chicago, argued the third point that the
law was unconstitutional because of the
omission of the tobacco rebate section
of the bill as signed ~ the president.

Envy
The Great Prestige of Royal
Baking Powder envied

The envy shown by other baking powder man
ufacturers of the great prestige of the Royal
Baking Powder is not at all surprising.
For thirty years the Royal has been the stand
ard. for purity and strength in baking powders,
and has been placed at the head by every board
of official examiners-whether State or National.
The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its
own cream of tartar factory and the processes for
making the only absolutely pure cream of tartar;
it sends its product to millions Of homes all over
she world, supplies the Army and. Navy, the great
transatlantic steamers, the finest hotels and res.
%taurants, and is recommended by the best chefs
and authorities on cuisine in every land. It's
sale. is larger than that Of all other cream Of
tartar baking powders combined It has more
friends among housekeepers than any other
similar article.
These facts are bitterness to the makers Of the
inferior baking powders; hence their advertise
ments, filled withamalice. envy and falsehood,
against the Royal
Consumers recognize a case Of "sour grapes"
