Frank Donahue Makes . successful
 Debut in Grand Rapids. ,,, Frank Donahue has literally won the hearts of the Grand Rapids people. In the opening game of the season he struck out nine of the opposing Toledo batsmen. A Grand Rapids paper says in reference to the game:

screaming in pain every time any
body walked acrces the room, the only ease
I obtained being from the constant use Of

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Rsy.is
is shown by all tests official scientific and psso-
tical. stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers and well known by~al dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the "Roya." it is because Of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal." To give greafes
profit the other must be a lower cost powder. and
cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the
same give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm, of
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal." There is no substitute for the Royal"
