church was prettily decorated, and a
short and interesting program, interspers-
ed with music, was well executed. When
the exercises were about half finished,
four buys collected the bricks con aiming
the offerings of those present, and carried
the same to the platform where model
of the front OF the new church was filed
in, presentinga very attractive appear
ance. Pastor Matteson presented sixty
scholars with awards which he had
promised those who had been faithful in
attendance and efficient in scholarship.
At the close of the program, j. w. SIM

Immediately after these exercises the

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
Fact or Fiction about Two Great Fair
Awards.

Awards
newspaper paragraph denounces as
false" the claim of baking powder com
pany to an award at the Worlds Fair.
Whom can IL mean?
Certainly not DIR. Prices. Why? Be
cause, as the records show DIR. Prices ex-
hibited, competed and received the highest
award, both at Chicago and the California
Midwinter Fair. The award in California
included gold medal. The official examiners
pronounced 1t the strongest, the purest, the
most wholesome and efficient of all the bak-
ing powders. Its title to confidence Is un-
questioned.
Can 1t be the manufacturers of New
York powder, fctitiously labelled "abso-
lutely pure" who are making false" claims?
That would be strange indeed, inasmuch as
they were not even considered in the awards.
Was IL ammonia In the New York powder
that prevented its makers from competing?
IL not what?
