Not Much Of q War.

More than one Of our contemporaries have
alluded facetiOusly to the "baking powder
war;" There is no war of the character in
d Gated. A certain baking powder achieved
fame because it was better than anything
that had previously been prepared, and be-
cause it was advertised in liberal, original
and judiciOus manner. The success Of this
powder led to imitation, as success always
does, but to assert or to intimate that there
is war between the Royal Baking Powder
and its more or less feeble imitatOrs suggests
the picture of death grapple between an
eagle and hOuse-fiy.
