OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD.

Some Chance of Getti z Perkins Measure
Through by an Omnibus BILL
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Per-
kins has introduced a bill to enable
the people of Oklahoma and of the In
dian territory to form a constitution
and state government and to be adj
mitted into the Union on an equal foot
ing with the original states and for
other purposes
The bill covers both territories, form
ing one state, and provides for con-
stitutional convention, the members of
which are to be elected by the people.
The convention is TO adopt a constitu-
ton and submit it to the people and if
ratified by them it will be presented to
congress, and when approved by con-
gress the work of forming a state is
complete.
As estimated by the friends of the
new measure, there is a chance to get
it through by making a state omnibus
bill. This bill is to usher into the
union the states of Arizona, New Mex
leo and Oklahoma. They estimate that
the idea of making Il state of Oklahoma
will be n popular one, and if the repub-
licaus will consent to the admission of
the other two the whole thing can be
put through. This is the plan that will
be adhered to in seeking the best re-

preparation. The consumer IS not experimental
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders IN effort to get q

or that follow changes of propnetorship manu-
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder IS always
certain and equal in Its work; teasPoonful does
the perfect work to-day that it cid yesterday,
or last week month, Or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in OF Royal IS
good as the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
against the receipt into the works of an impure IL
gredient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combina-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder so
that it shall be delivered to the consumer In the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make the
perfect Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been great many
limitations of the Royal, but equals. Pure
materials not employed, care is not taken IN
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost.
The great popularity and general of the
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

the citizens directed their efforts toward
