IfYOu Want The Best

\ LTHOUGH you may have had good luck
n with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants, and in the homes of Our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
a1kali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.

The Labor Meeting.
Special to the News

CHICAGO, Dec. when the
second day s session o the thirteenth
annual convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor was called to
order IN the council chamber this
morning nearly every delegate was
IN his seat whlle the Galleries and
the rest OF The space reserved for
the public was filled with repre-
sentative trade unionis,s. Contrary
TO expectation Senator Hamilton
Armstrong, of Colorado, who had
been especially designated by the
Trades Assembly of Denver to ar.
ralgn President GJmpers for TIRE ason
to the cause of labor on the ground
that he has declared himself against
silver, and thereby arrayed himself
against the interests of labor, failed
to make himself man fest at this
mornings session. Among the
questions on the agends for consid
eratlon liz the present state of the
labor market, and the steps which
should be taken to assist the unem-
Ployed. Another question concerns
plans tor the better circulation of
union labels. Each year some new
label makes It's appearance, and
nowadays nearly all articles of
wearing apparel and household fur.
niture, together with such luxuries
as tobacco, cigars bear evidences Of
their manufacture by members Of
trades unions. IL is held, however,
that some method of advertising
more thoroughly in order that the
public may be educated IN the use
of unlon label goods, should be
adop,ed. For several years the
question OF Il strike fund has been
agitated in the federation. At the
last convention au elaborate plan
was presented and referred to the
affiliated unions. 1t provided for
the raising of fund in similar
way 10 that of the Cigar Makers
International Union. Many of the
affiliated organizations, however,
have voted adversely and it ia
not believed that the proposition
viii prevail at this session. The
attention of the convention is also
to be called to the movement in
augurated by the local trade and
labor assembly and the state fedora
ton of labor looking to immediate
operations in the way of public i'm.
provements for which appropria-
lions have already baen voted By
congress. The charge is made that
the department at Washington hav-
ing charge of the drawing of plans
for improvements Is nearly two
years behind in its work, and that
bat for this three-quarters of a
million of the unemployed would be
at work in one part of the country
or the other.
