Baking
Powder
Economy

The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only
a fair price, and is cheaper at its
price than any similar article.
The Worthington advance., 1900-07-13

Samples Of mixtures made in imitation Of baking
powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis.
tributed from door to door, given away in
grocery stores Such mixtures are dangerous
to use in food, and in many cities their sale is
prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison and
all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

Mr.. PATTERSON'S REPORT

Decrease of $4,000.

Meeting Of the State Board Ct Agriculture To-
day. The last Meeting This Year.
Terms Of Office of Three
Members Expire.

The State Board of Agriculture will
meet here today to receive reports OF Off
GERS for 1899 and formulate its biennial
report to the Legislature.
This is the last meeting that the pres
ent board will hold, as the term of office
Of three members expire this year, and
their successors are to be elected by the
next Legislature.
Commissioner Patterson's report to the
board at this meeting deals principally
with the fertilizer question. 1t shows that
during the past year (from December LIST,
1899, to December 1st, 1900, the sale of
fertilizer in North Carolina amounted to
276, 23S35 tons, or 81, 700 tons more than
were sold the year previous December
/, 1898, to December 1, 1890.
The receipts to the Department from
the sale of tags were, however, nearly
$1,000 greater in the 1S9S1S99 season.
This was due to the fact that in $3.50 the
tax was % cents ton, while in the
season just closed it was only 20 cents.
The increase in the sale of fertilizers,
Mr.. Patterson thinks, is due to the natu-
raj growth and development of the farm
ing industry of the State, together with
the fact that there is a steady extern
sion of the use of fertilizers in many
sections of North Carolina. This increase
in use has been especially marked in the
wheat growing districts.
Many of the most prominent and active
members of the board arrived yesterday
to attend to some committee work pre-
paratory to the meeting today.

died at her home on South Broadway,
from the effects Of fall, happening
, but few weeks before. She sustained
injuries which resulted in her death.
Genial in disposition, her life might
be called radiant, for those who met
and knew her were impressed by a
brightness and beauty, seen only in
the good and true.
Harriet Trowbridge was member
OF our club from its beginning: earnest.
industrious and inspiring; always ready
to perform duty assigned her Willingly
and cheerfully. The loss of such a
member must be felt deeply; the loss
of such a friend cannot be easily re.
placed. Recognizing these qualities,

is with the keenest sorrow that we

TO her husband we extend our pro-

fact that his departed wife was wide
ly loved and held in high esteem.

NOT a woru was said. They realized
that the time was short, and they ran
with their unconscious, heavy burden
between them.
Meanwhile men, women and children
had organized in a desperate effort to
save the town. There was one fact in
their favor. 1t had been the custom
for those living on the edge of the town
to picket their animals out on the prai-
rie near by. The grass was cropped
short on this account. Under any or
dinary circumstances this fact would
have insured safety from any usual
fire. But the whole prairie was aflame,
everything was as dry as two months
Of drought and hot winds could make
it, and water for long time had been
very scarce in wells and cisterns. Back
of all that advancing line of fire was a
prairie gale that shot the flames
straight forward, and old settlers, some

faces.
