Formerly needle making annually
killed tens of thousands by the parti-
clcs of steel being inhaled, but now a
blast of air away from the grihdstome
has done away with all of this and the
occupation has ecomG quito safe.
The most Interesting part of needle
making is the drilling of the eyes. 1t is
said that experts can pcrfora'c II hair
and thread it with itself. Although
Great Britain makes The ordinary
needles for Americans, the latter, in

fYOu Want The Best

A THOUGH you may have had good luck
~ 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 direcions)
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
spols good materials; never leaves humps of
alkali in Che biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashoned methods or who use
other Baking Powders.
If YOU want the best food ROYAL Baking
Powder IS indispensable.
