I'LL TRY.
Spring IsrancI,

Most of the sick are better, although
there are several down with the meas
les yet. Mr.. and Mrs. B. +. Dren-
nan .of Labette county, are visiting
their son Oscar and others i'm this
neighborhood this week. In coming
through LaHarpe their horses got
scared at the cars and turned the
buggy over. In some way the horses
got Mr.. brennan down and bruised
him up considerable by tramping on
him. -. Tom Anderson sold "a big
lot of millet seed this week for Soc
bushel. He delivered it to LaHarpe.
...-.. That horse and cart that we
last week got loose from
some ladies near Bayard. Oscar
brennan finished husking corn this
week. ....... Tom Eastwood went to
Lake Forest, Illinois last week to
work. About all the corn is plant
I'D in this part and some are cultivat-

OLD SOLDIERS REUNION.

The REGISTER wishes to remind
the old Soldiers that on the coming
pension day, May 4, all old soldiers,
and particularly all pensioners, and
their families are cordially invited to
come to lola and accept the hospital
ity of McCook Post. The Post room
will be open all day, and coffee and
crackers, and maybe bologna sausage,
will be served free at noon. If YOU
want something more elaborate, bring
it, but if that is good enough, why,
take it and welcome. The intention
is, az readers of the REGISTER al
ready know, to make this pension day
reunion a regular thing, and we hope
the first one will start off on the right
foot with great big crowd.

Some Food Tesfs

The official food analyses by The
United States and Canadian govern
ments have been studied with inter.
est. The United States government
report gives the names of eighteen
well-known baking powders, some OF
them advertised as pure cream-oEtar-
tar powders, which contain alum.
The report shows the ROYAL to he "a
pure cream-of-tartar baking powder
the highest in strength, evolving 100. 6
cubic inches of leavening gas per sim
gle ounce of powder. There were
eight other brands of cream-of- tartar
powders tested, and their average
strength was Ills cubic inches of gas
per ounce of powder.
The Canadian government investi-
cations were of still larger number
OF powders. The Royal Baking Pow
der was here also shown the purest
and highest in strength, containing
l29.32 cubic inches of leavening gas
per ounce of powder. Nine other
cream-of-tartar powders were tested.
their average strength being reported
TO be 80 cubic inches of gas per ounce.
These figures are very instructive
to the practical housekeeper. They
Indicate that the Royal Baking Pow
der goes more than 80 per cent. further
IN use than the others. or is one-third
more economical. Still more impor-
tant than this, however, they prove
this popular article has been brought
to the highest degree Of purity-for
to its superlative purity this superior
Ity in strength is due-and conse-
luently that by it's use we may be IN
sured the purest and most wholesome
food.
The powders of lower strength are
ound to leave large amounts of inn.
ourities in the food. This fact i. en-
ohasized by the report of the Ohio
state Food Commissioner, who, while
hiding the Royal practically pure. {
ound no other powder to contain less
han 10 per cent. of inert or foreign i
matters. {
The statistics show that there il
sed in the manufacture of the ROYAL
'aking Powder more than half of all a
ne cream-of-tartar consumed I'm the a
Inited States for all purposes. The a
'onderful sale thus indicated for the
oval Baking Powder-greater than il
lat OF all other baking powders COM b
lned-is perhaps even higher evil n
ence than that already quoted of the s
lperiority Of this article, and of it's ii
dlspensableness to modern cookery. A
