Baking
Powder
Economy

The manufacturers of ROYAL
Baking Powder have always
declined to produce a cheap
baking powder at the sacrifice
of quality.
The Royal is made from
pure grape cream of tartar, and
is the embodiment of all the
excellence possible to be attained
in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs
only fair price, and is cheaper
at its price than any similar
article.

at the foot Of the cross. The anguish.
the cries. the sobs. are all real They
pierce my heart. The cross. with Its
plteous burden. IL outlined against the
real sky. The green hill beyond 10
Calvary. Doves hutter In and out,
and butterflies dart across the shafts
Of sunlight. The expression on Christs

pity unspeakable. Then his head drops
forward on his breast. II grows dark,
the weeping becomes lamentation. and
as they approach to thrust the spear
into his side. from which. have been

and hystcrical weeping. and not even

from the dead or the triumphant ascen'
sion can console me or restore my bal
ance. The Passion play but once In
