Bickeford made application to the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Union Pacific

How to gather plsnts-First. So far az

on the same specimen. II this IL lmpraeti-
cable then get rs near to this ~ possible
and gather the other parts At another time.
Second. Always mark ON the paper At

long. If the plant be TOO large for such =
Grasses must be gathered only in bloom

THE GOODS ARE PURE.
st. Louis journal Of Agriculture.


The business Of the Royal Baking Powder
Company comes to us In the regular way,
and Is not, therefore, entitled to any special
mention on that account. But the fact that
other baking powder companies have been
making war on this company and using all
manner OF unfair means to injure its bust
ness is itself an appeal to the love of fair
play, which Is part Of the character of
every good American citizen.
The fact that the Royal Baking Powder
Company has succeeded far beyond any OF
its competitors is no doubt reason enough
for some OF them to say anything against
the Royal Baking Powder that they can get
newspapers 10 publish. We do not know
whether that sort OF thing has injured the
ROyaps business Or not. We do not sup
pose 1t has, but Of one thing we are sure,
when the goods OF any company have been
on the market, as Royal Baking Powder
has. Tor whole generation, and been con-
sumed by almost the entire population to a
greater or less extent, with perfect satisfac-
tion to all, aud without having injured the
health OF single person, then IL will take
more than spite or Jealousy to injure its
business. The baking powders made by
TINS company have been tested thousand
times by the most eminent chemists and
always pronounced pure and wholes ONE.
This. added to the experience OF the millions
who have used them, will stamp as absurd
the attacks Of other manufacturers who are
prompted by jealousy OF their great success
TO publish false statements about the ROYAL
Cempany's goods.
