Do You Wish
the Finest Bread

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both Purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least troube'
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the

North WiIbraham, was formally opened last
Saturday.
The League of American wheelmen. an
ticipating the demand for professional
races this season, has consented to allow
with class A and class B races, under the
leagues auspices. The first professional
events to be held under the sanction of
the L. a w will likely take place at

while the league assumes no official iuriS :
diction over profe ssionalism, its racing
board will adjust any difficulties that may
arise in the management OF the profess

A good deal of staying power, as well as
fair share of strength is required if one
wishes to teach a novice how to ride. First
of all, there is the initial exertion of sup
porting heavy weight and preventing its
rolling over to one side or the other, be-
sides the strain on the hand that assists
the steering This is tiring enough by it
self when continued for half an hour or
so: but the work gets harder as it goes on.
BY and by the pupil begins to have a faint
notion of the steering principle and goes
along in a staggering wobble at the rate
OF four or five miles an hour; the instructor
is now obliged to get alongside and hold
the machine tightly, ready to heaye it
forcibly from one side to the other when
ever necessary. Then the rider gets so
far sufficient as to dispense with actual
support but requires his teacher to con- :
tinue running and remain in readi-
ness to catch him if he staggers; and this
is generally continu ed in merciless manner
until the luckless pedestrian has covered a
good many miles, up and down, at smart
pace. A cycling Instructor needs TO be in
pretty good training if he is to get through
his work without retiring for an occasional

WITH THE WHEELMEN.

1t is alleged that every boy in the State
who hasn't one already is saving up his
money to buy a bicycle.-Lew wiston Journal.
The park police on their bicycles are
as useful as they are ornamental, and
not as much may be said of all who go
on wheels.-Boston Transcript.
Bicycling is reaching the proportions
of a fad compared With which roller
skating was nothing. VIII it retrograde
as suddenly and disappear as completely
Buffalo Express.
Z Shopping on the bicycle is getting to be
so common that sooner or later shop
keepers will have to provide some place
where their customers may check their
wheels.-Boston Globe.
1t should be remembered that there is
a man occasionally who does not ride a
wheel and that he has a few rights which
are bound to be observed.
The bicycle business is booming. The
craze continues with such force that none
of the leading manufacturers can keep
up with their orders. Verify, the wheel"
has wrought revolution in loeomotion.-

night at O'Clock between eight players of
the / Street Whist Club and the same
number from the Twelfth Street Club,
game to be played at rooms No. 612 Twelfth
street north west.
In the regular Thursday evening match
the team of eight players captained by
DR.. Wall won by six points against
those captained by Mr. Lake
The following checker problem, pre-
sented by Mr.. Joseph Maize, is produced
for solution:

Mr. Coffington, prominent member OF
the Philadelphia Chess Club, visited the
headquarters on Twelfth street Friday
night and gave an exhibition of his skill
in the games.
Mr. Granty, of the Baltimore organization,
was a welcome visitor at the rooms of the
washington Checker Club last Friday
The history of several checker openings
of interest TO amateurs is given below:
The ''old fourteenth" is formed by the
firse five moves: Ills, 23-19, S-11, 90
II, As. 1t was so named because familiar
to players as the fourteenth game in
Sturges' original work
The second double corner is formed
by the first two moves; HIS, 2419.
Like the |QOUDte corner, IL is so named
because the first move of the second player
is from the one double corner towards the
other
The "single corner is formed by the
first two moves: 11-15. 22-1S 1t is so
named from the fact that each of these
moves are played from one single corner
toward the other.
The ''Souter" is formed by the first five
moves: 11-15. 23-19, ola, 22-I7, 60
The game has been known by this designa-
tion among players in Scotland for many
years and got it's title from being the
fayorite of an old Paisley shoemaker,
ScOttice SOUter.
The ''Switoher" was so named by MI
George Wallace, of Glasgow, probably
owing to the side moves, which somewhat
resemble a railway switch.
The whittier is formed by the first five
moves-11-15 1919. 9-14, 22-17, I'll f,

or change productive of confusion, is
remarkably applicable to many OF the un-
expected changes which occur in this
game.
The ''Will o. the Wisp" is formed by the
first three moves-11-15. 23-19, 9-13. 1t
was so named by Mr.. G. Wallace, of Glas-
Cow, from the popularity of some of the
variations, where the player firds to his

ST. LOUIS is unearthing a scan
dial in connection with construction
of its new city hall. Jobbery
seems to have been the watchword
with everyone interested in the
construction of the building. from
the supervising architect down to
the humble Inspector of material,
and all probably received share in
the rake off. Plans were altered,
contractors either substituted poor
material or scamped their work,
inspectors did not inspect, etc: and
now, after having spent nearly
50. .0OO,0O on it. the building will
have to be propped up to make it
safe. OF course, there is talk Of
recovering from the contractors,
but as they have been paid for the
work, the will simply say, ''go to. =
