THE PUBLIC CHARITIES.
Movements of the Various Societies-The
Charity Ball.

Charity Ball.
The members OF the Women's Christian Tenn
persnce Union regret that the national conven-
ton of 1892 will not meet in Seattle, but feel
satisfied that Denver secured the prize rather
than some Eastern city. Five states were COM
peting for the honor.
The Central W. C. T. q. will hold a meeting
on Friday afternoon at the Chamber of Com
merce New members are being secured every
week.
The Day Nursery is for rent and would be
sold if fair price could be had for the prop
erty. Mrs. Frank Lee, Mrs. Ut. Ronald and Mrs.
Julia Hawley have the matter in charge.
The union gratified at the success OF the
public Thanksgiving dinner. Over LOCO meals
were furnished, the majority OF which were
really needed.
Luther Benson, the temperance orator, wants
to come to Seattle. The w. C. I. U. feels
scarcely able TO take upon itself the response
bility of the expense.
The Woman's Home Society will hold meet
ing at the Chamber OF Commerce tomorrow
afternoon. The society needs $500 to COM
plete the building. Matters OF Importance will
come up for consideration.
The general. relief committees of the Odd Eel
lows and Knights OF Pythias have had consider
able work since the fall weather set in. Their
aid is rendered quietly and the public seldom
learns of all they do. The other secret orders
also render aid to unfortunate members.
The House of the Good shepherd continues
quietly its noble work. Both the industrial and
reform departments are in able hands. The ad-
ditions to the home are rapidly approaching
completion. When ready they will afford much
needed room and will yield greater facilities for
the work necessary. The Ladies Relief society
will not have meeting this afternoon, but the
regular monthly nesting will be held next Tues
day afternoon, when full and complete report
OF the work done will be presented.
The ball to be given tonight at Rankc's new
hall for the benefit OF the Ladies' Relief So
ciety promises to be a brilliant event Well
known social leaders have the management in
hand and all have endeavored to do everything
necessary to make the guests thoroughly enjoy
themselves. The public is familiar with the
good work of the society and those who pur-
chase tickets and attend will not only aid good
cause, but will also have pleasant time

Envy
The Great Prestige of Roy;
Baking Powder enVied
by all competitors.

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-w 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
the 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 with malice, envy and falsehood,
against the Royal.
Consumers recognize case of "sour grapes"
