THE Williams Baking Powder,
mentioned in these columns Sat-
urday, an absolutely chemically
pure baking powder Of home
manufacture, is already an as
sured success, We state this ad-
visedly, because our citizens are
taking hold Of it with commend
able public spirit, and where it is
once given a fair trial it never

for a box he can readily supply
yor; because all he has to do is
10 notify the factory and it will
be supplied him promptly. THE
ARGUS greets the new enterprise
and wishes it unmeasured suc-
cess.
