gold the silver dollar OF Mexico
dropped last month to the value
Of forty cents, Such a deprecia-

would be most disastrous and far

but neither has there been any ap.

whose wants are wholly supplied

Mexico for hundreds Of years
The mass Of the people do not

people Of Mexico do not know
when silver is gong mp or when

NAPOLEON'S VALUE OF
VICTORY.
1t Finds a Striking Counterpart in
Recent World Triump pbs.

Napoleon knew we'll the value of
a victory, Alter Austeriitz the
world seemed his. Fame invited
fortune favored, everything stimu.
lated his aspiring ambition. With
growing power be gathered the
fruits of victory. And so has it
ever been. Success succeeds. A
notable illustration of this truth is
furnished by the great victories
won at the Worlds Fair in '93 and
the California Midwinter Far in
'94 by Dr. Prices Cream Baking
Powder. Ever increasing sales and
popularity have been the result.
The people have promptly ratified
lbe official verdicts that declared
Dr. Prices, for levening power,
keeping qualities, purity and gen
eral excellence the foremost bak
ing powder in all the world ;"
Quite as quickly as the great EN-
peror do they know the value of
victory that means world. wide su
premscy.
