LANSING, MICH, July ga matter of
much interest to citizens of municipalities
troubled with Boards of Aldermen inclined
to be very generous to corporations has
been decided by the Michigan Supreme
Court. The Detroit City Railway Com
pany, several years ago, was granted a
franchise covering MANY streets. and, fur
thermore, requiring that all street-railway
franchises should be offered to the before
mentioned company before going to any
other.
The Citizens Railway Company OF De-
troit. recently formed, sought to enjoin
the older com pany from perpetually using
the streets under this. franchise. The case
was carried through the lower courts, and
the Supreme Court decides that common
Council has no power to give away exclu-
sive rights TO streets.

judged from the official reports the Royal

analyses to be entirely without one or the other
OF these substances and absolutely pure. This, II
is shown. results from the exclusive use by its
manufacturers of cream of tartar specially re-
fined and prepared by patent processes which to-
tally remove the tartarate of lime and other i'm
purities The cost Of this chemically pure cream
OF tartar is much greater than any other, and IL
is used in no baking powder except the Royal

under which IL is refined

intimate knowledge of the ingredients of all those

tatively says OF the purity, wholesom ness and
superior quality of the Royal"

pure and wholesome ingredients. IL is a cream
of tartar powder, and does not contain either al

but makes the purest, finest favored and most
wholesome food.
