THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal baking Powder tn strength and
Value 80 Fer Cent. Above lts Nearest
Competition.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record Of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES cx-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions Of former years. at the
Centennial. at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs. where
IL has been exhibited. judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
AT the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tural Department OF Washington. The
official report of the tests OF the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partmcn. for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Fair.
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 80 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average Of Ill. The Royal, therefore.
was found Of 20 percent. greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest compcti-
tor. and "A per cent. abovc the average
OF all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however. in the
quality Of food il makes rs To finencss,
delicacy and wholcsomcness. could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women Of the coun-
try for SO many years. that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics. to exceed the
sales of all other baking powders COM
bincd.

THE ASHLAND DISTRICT.
Judge Denny Nominated In Opposition to
W. 4. Owens Will be supported by
Ererkiaridge Men.

LEXINGTON. Ky. Sept -. BY a
unanimous vote and without any OPP
ponent Judge George Denny. Jr., of
Lexington. was made the nominee of
the republican party for congress by
the district convention held here yes
terday afternoon. Scattered through
the convention hall were numerous
democrats who had supported Brcck-
inridge in the late democratic primary
and the interest they took in the pro-
ceedings made them the observed of all
observers.
Judge Denny's speech please the
Breckenridge men immensely as il did
the majority Of the republicans. but
the Owens men are very sore and are
considerably frightened over the uni
versal approval with which it has been
met hy the Ercckinridge mcr. While
the Judge cannot hope to poll all the
Breckinridge votes. he will undou b:-
edly get great many of them.

These are the plain facts in the case.
IL i for these reasons that the sugar

perpetuation Of the Mckinley law.
The refiners are restrained by the anti

Mckinley law a bounty Of two cents

That bounty amounted in the ag-

WORK TO DO.

The JOURNAL takes this early oppor-
tunity to call the attention of its readers
thereby reaching the entire popula-
tion-to some things that it fears are
being overlooked. Miles City has ever
lad a name for generous hospitality and
the ability to comfortably care for. en-
fertain, and amuse large crowds OF visi-
tors. Thus far we have always met all
demands made upon US in this line,
fully and completely, but unless some
special effort is made by the citizens, we
are going to lay ourselves open to the
insinuation that we have tackled Job
that is too big for us. The indications
are that next week will bring to us the
biggest crowd of visitors we ever handled
and while this paper does not fear that
Miles City will prove unequal to the
task. our resources need to be organized
in order to do the thing In Miles CITY
style. Our fair reputation in this re-
gard must not be allowed to suffer, and
il will not If proper attention is given to
the subject. To properly arrange for
what we have to do, meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce has been called
for tomorrow morning and that meeting
should be atten,,ee by every citizen who
has a suggestion to offer, whether be be
a member of the chamber or not. In
addition to the entertainment OF guests,
there is another matter almost as vital
to our reputation, and that is the dec
grafton of the city. We have never
done much of anything in this line, but
the time is now at hand when We have
got to do it. il we expect to keep in line
The last three days of next week will be
gala days in every sense of the word
and the occasion demands a profuse
outdoor decoration. 1t is none to early
to commence planning the work. and il
il is entered into with the proper spirit
the results attained will amply repay al
individual exertion and impress our visi
tors with proper idea Of the hospitality
and progressive nature Of our town and
its people.

LoNpoN's WATER SUPPLY.
Economy In Its Use as Compared with
American Experiences.

Economy In tre -
American Experiences.
In London, the largest city i'll the
world. the water is furnished by COM
panies and is charged for by the guam
tity. No one has free faucet or can
afford to waste his water. Every fam
ilv bargains for as many gallons per
diem as it needs, and this amount Is
placed in tanks Then the water is shut
off. If the family uses it up by noon, 1t
gets no more until the next day unless
it can borrow of its neighbor. There Is
no waste. The water is all measured
and paid for With three times our
population London does not use one
third as much water as Chicago does,
simply because the water is not wasted
In Chicago the city furnishes the wa
ter, and every one is free TO do with It
what he pleases, and the result Is an
archv in water. The man on the third
story has no rights the man on the sec-
ond is bound 10 respect, and the man on
the first floor cheats both of them ~
running water via the sewers into the
river and lake. So long as there Is dis
regard of human rights by human hogs
this waste will continue, and those on
the upper stories will suffer because
those on lower stories are running water
all day to cool their rooms or to food
their lawns-in other words, are iettine
millions of gallons run into the sewers
without being used at all.-Chicagt
