1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best

Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum limo or sui

cut Ras Williams throat from car to ear

the crime was committed. Williams ran

Murray had cut his throat aud then fell
dead. He did this despite the fact that his
windpipe was completely severed. The
coroner's jury pronounced it cold blooded
murder and Murray was brought in town
