ROYAL
Baking Powder


The strongest, priest, most efficient and
wholesome of leaveniag agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, UNI
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, buildings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. 1t costs less than two cents pound.
Alum is poison Think OF feeding to chill

child that the kindergarten beStows the
machinery was enthusiastically set in

next few weeks, the necessary pledges
will be secured to enable the kinder
garten to oDen wide its doors when

Mrs q. w. Wilson was elected chair
man$of the kindergarten committee;
Mrs. A. V. Taylor, secretary, and Miss

aid, or to send children to the kinder
garten, Will communicate Immediately
with Mrs. Wilson, Miss Dysart, princi-
pal of the Emerson school, or Miss
May. Miss May will have general su-
perviSion over the school, a fact which
will assure everyone Of the efficiency
with which the kindergarten will be
conducted. About one-fourth of the

penses for eight months was pledged.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Council of Clubs occurred yesterday af-
teTnoon. There were present Mrs. Tay-
Tor OF the Wonan's club, Mrs. Pear
sail of the Inquirers, Mrs. Nelden of
the Ladies' Literary club, Miss Wells
Of the Cleofan.
Miss May was present and made an
earnest plea on behalf of the free kin
dergarten, which she hopes to see
opened by club women in the autumn.
The matter has been considered by the
council at different times, and although
the different clubs are in favor of es-
tabjshing a free kindergarten, the mat
ter has been POSTPONED from time to
time, owing to lack Of funds. Miss
May suggested that the different clubs
Of the city now be given an opportun-
ity to reconsider the subject, and that
perhaps plans might be formulated
whereby the kindergarten could be es-
tabliShed in September. She told of the
Mothers club of the Emerson school
and of the members decision to open
q kindergarten there; also of the de-
cisiOn of the women who have sup

Ladies, Literary Club.

At the meeting of the Ladies Lit
erary club. on Friday afternoon Rev.
Alfred Henry discussed THE Evangel-
istic Element in Art"
The address was discussion of the
part taken by the art Of painting in
the PRONUNCIATION of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. 1.-THE modern art of painting
was evangeliStic from its birth. It
came into being in order to give ex-
preston TO genius Of Christianity. 1t
fourished and grew apace while that
genius was free; il suffered in vigOr
and spontaneity while the truth was
obscured by a corrupt and unsDirftual
ecclesiasticism; and its marvellous
quickening into new life during the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries was
but one Of the phases of the prepare
ton for the great reformation.
IT is not a mere coincidence that
Eavonarola ard Michael Angelo were
contemporaries in Florence, nor that
the age of Luther and the great refor-
nation saw also the rise Of the great
German COMPOSERS"
The speaker traced the history Of
painting from the Christian Cata-
combs. where IL had its birth, through
the Byzantine period to the Italian
Renaissance.

FL NaiSsance ia that the message to be
