Nothing can be substituted for
the Royal Baking Powder
and give as good results.

No other leavening agent will make such
light, sweet, delicious, wholesome food.
If some grocers urge, another baking pow
der upon you, it is because of the greater
profit upon it. This ofitselfis evidence ofthe
superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder,
and to cost less it must be made with cheaper
and inferior materials, and thus though selling
for the same, give less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most whole

Crisp Dresses Reed Down.
The silver fight came to close In the
house Monday according to the arrangement.
and the victory for sound and safe money
was more sweeping than anybody had dared
hope, and far beyond the most confident pre-
dicti0ns. The silver purchase act was re.
pealed by q majority of 1923. and all the
amendments offered by the silver men were
voted down by majorities ranging from II to
l40.
The set Of the current had been evident
for week. The argument was overwhelm.
public opinion from every side was resistIess.
The position Of the silver men. fighting for
something they knew 10 be wrong and ad-
mitted to be disastrous. for the sake Of some
thing else they believed to be right, was of
Itself ruinous as soon as the break began.
Bland admitted defeat, Sunday night IL was
conceded all round, and the doubtful men all
hastened to get on the winning side.
The galleries were filed all through the
voting. which was watched with intense ID
terest. Every member with only six excer-
ti0ns was In his seat. The first vote was on
the amendment providing for free coinage A.
the present ratio, 16 to 1, which was believed
TO be the point where the silver men would
be strongest. But 1t was voted down, 227 to
124. majority Of l03 The next vote was on
the amendment for a ratio of II to l,
and It was defeated 41 10 101.
Next, 1S to 1, and the majority against
1t was 1876. Next 10 to L, and the majority
against that was 1914. The 20 to ratio was
the strongest point for the silver men until
the appearance Of Secretary Carlisle's letter
last week, and It has generally been conceded
that 1t was killed by that argument; but the
majority against It was the same as against the
Is 10 ratio, 101. The final amendment re-
viving the Bland.A lllson act was defeated 213
to 1856, majority Of only II. The vote In favor
of the Bland law was made up of 10 Repcbli-
cans and 112 Democrats, and theivote against
It of ITO Republicans and 1e3 Democrat
Then came the vote ON the bill itself to re-
peal all provisions of the Sherman bill for the

said he meant to kill himself.
