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

It would be difficult matter to furn-
ish space 10 publish from week to
week the many letters of a compli-
mentary nature which come to The
Colored American. 1t circulates everv.
where and it is read by the intelligent,
thinking people Of the race. So great is
the reputation which it has achieved
that the coIored press as we'll as the
colored people generally look to it for
guidance, for conservative opinion and
for the whole news of the race. From
time to time more space will be given
IN this column to the great number OF
letters received. The Colored American
will be increased in size at very early
date and If it has been good in the past,
1t will be even better in the future.

A great garbage can was ON exhibit

quarters yesterday afternoon while the
members were attending the meeting.
Every body looked at it suspiciously,
walked around it and tapped it with
their pencils and asked foolish ques-
tons.

he knew it and made note of its num-
Der in lead pencil on his cuff. When
the heavier business of the Board had
been transacted, DR.. Wood announced
that the Executive officer of the Board
desired very much that select species
OF rubbish barrel be used in the city
streets for the purpose of collecting
stuff that otherwise made the highways
look untidy.
DR.. Garvln stood up to explain that
garbage cans for the curbs in the bust
ness districts especially, were needed
for the reception of waste paper, bana-
ma peels, cigar butts and rats that had
died. from old age.
