II was no fault of the cook, although
she WAS blamed by the mistress because
the biscuits were not as light, delicate
and finely favored as usual.
When II was too late the cook found
she had been imposed upon by the gro.
Ger or his boy, who had given her new
brand Of baking powder In place 81 the
Royal, which she had always used with
good luck, and which had been ordered.
She had used the new kind, spoiled the
biscuit and got scolding.
The Royal Baking Powder, as every
cook knows, Ia always TO be relied upon.
II ia one Of the greatest aids she han.
She Is always able with the least trouble
to make the very finest biscuits. cakes,
mullins and crusts. Many cooks rep.
utation has been made by the delicious
things she has been able TO make with
it 1t is no wonder that she ia indignant
when the grocer sends her another bak-
ing powder In ita place, which spoils her
food. Injuries her reputation and brings
her blame.
The grocer sends her the new brand Of
baking powder simply because 1t costs
him so much less and he can make more
profit by selling 1t than he can on the
Royal. The Royal is made from the very
finest materials and costs much more
than anv other brand, which accounts
for Its superiority, although it .s sold to
consumers at the same price.
The cook ahouldexamine carefully the
label Of the baking powder and SO, that
ahe Is not imposed upon. II the grocer
sends anything but the Royal, send IL
back, as one cook did five times until she
got the Royal. The only sale way is for
the cook to have the finest things to
work with, and the Royal Is not only the
finest, but the most economical TO use
because 1t goes so much further.

in England. On the locomotive it,
self is fixed an electric bell, to which
is attached a contact device, which
operates by means Of a movable bar
which is associated with each sigma!
box. When the engine passes such
q signal box contact is made and the
bell rings, and by the number Of
beats upon the gong the engine

be quite automatic in action pro
