Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.

The Alliance in Politics.

The Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston Nelrs and Courier says:
The State Farmers Alliance is now
beginning to look ahead in political
way and prepare for the changed politi-
cal conditions OF two years hence. 1t IS
safe to say that the Alliancesnen are
beginning to see in the wage earners'
movement speck on the horizon which
is destined to work the downfall of the
farmers movement of the past, and they
are now going to prepare to meet the
emergency by forming closer alliance
with the Tillman men.
had a very interesting talk with one
of the leading Alliancemen Of the State
this morning, and he tells me great
many things about the Alliance and its
movements. 1t will be remembered that
the annual meeting of the Alliance this
year is to be held at Clemson College,
about the time for the opening of that
institution The date is July 26. The
meeting will be held on the first day at
Clemson, and will then adjourn to Wal
halla. The Allianccmen, it seems, want
to see the farmers college in all its glory.
SO far no candidate has appeared in the
field for the Presidency. 1t is thought
that President Donaldson will be re-
elected
The Allianceman referred to says that
the membership of the order is now
steadily growing. In regard to the fu-
ture of the order in politics he said:
The Alliance is not going to play
very greatly different part in politics to
that it is right now playing. 1t is going
to boss things like it is now doing so far
as its demands are concerned, or rather
it is going to get those who are sympa-
thizcrs with it into official positions.
We have by 10 means given up the fight
so far as our political interests are con-
cerned. This. of course. is not a cam
paicn year, but when the time comes we
will most certainly make the fight that
we have made in the past-very likely
on a larger scale. don't see that Cleve
lands election will affect the political
future OF the Alliance. 1 have had my
mind made up for some time in regard to
Cleveland's policy. but some OF hisrece
appointments have rather undone me.
There is this thing about the Alli-
ance, and they themselves are under
standing it better every day. 1t is its
knowledge of the position it ought to-
take in politics as well as other matters.
They realize. at least they understand,
they can take 4 very active part in poll
tics without making themselves slave
to any party. and the same condition is
beginning to make itself known in com
mercial lie. Tie Alliance is taking care
OF the interests of the farmers and it
will continue to do So
The man who is thus announcing bci1.yy
that the Alliance is going into politics
without fear or favor in the next cam
paisn is one of the most prominent mem
bers of the order in the State. and should
know whereof he speaks. All indlca-
tions are that the Alliance will come out
vita a bold front. But the midsummer
will show.

A Big Country.

The proposed annexationo of Hawaii
has brought into discussion the ter
ritorial area of the United States. and
the New York press gives some inter
esting figures on the subject. There
were s21,S44 square miles in the
original thirteen States. Jefferson
bought Louisiana of Napoleon and
adaed more than a million square
miles of Western Territory to the
United States. Monroe purchased
Florida OF Spain and brought 59,26S
additional square miles under the
Stars and Stripes. The annexation
of Texas increased our TERRITORY h'-
33716, 93l sla..--.- --:'se, fne annexation
OF the provinces OF Northern Mexico
increased it by 545,77s5 square mics;
the Gadsden purchase in the South
ern part OF Arizona IN 1919 gave Us
$3.50 square miles more. Seward $
purchase OF Alaska from the Gar
resulted in the acquisition of 3ll $3.50
square miles OF territory and brought
the area of the United States up to
its present imperial dimensions OF
3,6o3,ss4 square miles, more than
threcf fourths OF which has been added
bv annexation during the present
century. The Hawaiian or Sandwich
Islands, which is proposed now to
annex, have an aggregate area OF only
1000 square miles, and the island OF
Oahu, upon which Honolulu, the
capital, is situated, has only 600
square miles. The value OF this
acquisition, therefore, will be meas
ured not by area, but by location,
which gives it importance as a
strategic and commercial station.
