Undisputed
Merit.

The great success Of the Royal Bar
inc Powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to make
it entirely pure, uniform in quality,
and of the highest leavening power.
All the scientific knowledge, care
and skill attained by twenty-five
years. practical experience by its pres
ent manufacturers are contributed
toward this end, and no pharmaceuti-
cal preparation can be dispensed with
a greater accuracy, precision and ex-
actness.
Every article used is absolutely pure.
A number of chemists are employed
to test the strength of each ingredient,
so that its exact power and effect in
combination with its co-ingredients is
definitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in
the preparation of the materials used,
or the manufacture Of the powder, who
is not an expert in his particular branch
Of the business.
AS consequence, the Royal Baking
Powder is of the highest grade Of ex-
cellence, always pure, wholesome, and
uniform in quality. Each box is ex-
actly like every other, and will retain
its power and produce the same and
the highest leavening effect in any
climate, at any time.
The Government Chemists, after
having analysed all the principalbrands
in the market, in their reports placed
the Royal Baking Powder at the head
of the list for strength, purity and
wholesomeness, and thousands of tests
all over the country have further
demonstrated the fact that its qualities
are, in every respect, unrivaled.

There has recently been some controversy over

by Whittier in one of his best-hnown poems
From Marblehead only the other day there came
this statement from an old lady whose mother
knew Floyd and from him had the truth -
a. There had been a storm. and Floyd had had
trouble with some drunken sailors; and they,
fastening into the town full of revenge. heard OF
the wreck of the rival fishing boat. and seeing
their opportunity. Immediately spread the report
of Iresons seeing soothing at and leaving the sink
Ing wreck. The bad tale spread rapidly. and the
sweethearts and wives of the drowned sailors
were ready for Ireson when he came into town. and
mad with grief they tarred and feathered and
rode him in a cart. He could never clear his name
of the lie and never looked a man In the face
again until his death. which soon followed. for
the innocent could not bear the scorn of his
townspeople.'

the contrary. documentary evidence that can

County school commissioner Mon

gentleman who wishes to come here
and establish a commercial college.
We understand this question has
been agitated before, but see no reas-
on why the scheme could not be
worked. 1t is not necessary to 90 to
much expense. 4 room in the high
shool building could be secured we
understand, and if not, suitable
room over some of the business
houses might be rented for the pur-
pose. The advantages of such u
school arc many, and would not only
be the means of bringing consider
able money to Memphis, but would
