WHAT IT MEANS.
There was really no other baking powder
that could be relied upon.

that could be reiied upon.
II has been referred 70 as remarkable
that the United State government I'm tit
ting out its expedition for the relief OF
the whalers imprisoned IN the Arctic
Seas. should have selected ana included
Royal Baking Powder among its supplies,
and no other.
This is not al all 10 be wondered AZ.
The superior quality OF the Royal made
its use upOn this occasion Indispensable.
The Royal is the only baking powder so
carefully and perfectly made that it will
keep fresh i'm all climates. under variable
degrees of temperature and moisture. dur
ing long sea voyage. etc. II is the only
baking powder that viii do its work uni
formly and perfectly at the Poles and UNI
der the Equator as well as in the United
States
The Royal is regularly and continu-
ous.y selected for use at our army posts,
in the navies OF this country and Great
Britain and upon the fleets OF merchant
vessels that cover the oceans, irrespec-
tive of the flag they fly.
All this means that the Royal IS the
best baking powder for home use also. 1t
means that IL has qualities peculiar to
itself which make its usefulness beyond
that possible for any other baking pow
der to attain

NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.

NEW YORK. Jan. S-The close Of the
week finds the dry goods market in a
thoroughly unsettled state. The sales in
all cotton lines have been unsatisfactory.
Although the wooiicn goods division is
well sustained, tho general market shows
poor results on the whole. JObbers have
attempted little, and have not been sur
prised at thc' result They anticipate
heavier trading in new spring lines next
week, however basing their beliefs on
the advices Of retailers who are planning

Decline to Issue the Order.

Mr.. A. M. Hodgkins, 1913 Q street, sew
eral days ago requested the District Com
missioners to require the cars of the Cap
ital Traction Company to stop on both
sides Of Q street. Mr.. Hodgkins stated
that the lives of the children attending the
Berret school are endangered by the rapid
speed of the cars, especially Of those north
bound, which in the morning have few
passengers aboard.
Capt. Beach, the assistant to Engineer
Commissioner Black. to whom the matter
was first referred, reported against grant
ing the request, believing it to be unnec-
essary to stop the cars on both sides of
the crossing. Capt. Black then referred
the request of Mr.. Hodgkins to Commits
siener Wight, who concurred in Capt
Beach's opinion.
