Children especially arefond Of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
AS good cake can be made only with
good eggs, SO also cake that is health
full as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
In the preparation Of the highest quality
Of food. 1t imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the

ENGLAND WILL
NOT SEND SHIPS

Sir Mortimer did not discuss with the
President the Moroccan situation. in
which Great Britain is equally interest
ed with the United States, in that young
Varley. nephew Of Perdicaris. kidnapped
at the same time by the bandit Raisuli,
is a British subject.
The ambassador has received no ad-
vices from his government on the situa-
tion, but is under the impression that no
naval demonstration will be made by
Great Britain. and that no other ship
will join the one just dispatched to
Tangier.
AS he expresses IL, it is always en-
barrassing to bark, If you are not in a
position or do not find it advisable TO
bite, and such a course is liable to be
attended with loss of dignity
THE British government" says Sir
Mortimer, has many such cases to
deal with along the Indian frontier and
elsewhere in its widespread possessions,
and each succeeding instance is equally
embarrassing. To pay the money de-
manded. to give in to the rascality OF
irresponsible persons. is always humili-
ating. but TO do otherwise IS always
difficult No practicable solution has
ever been found, but diplomacy IS more
relied on than displays of force by the
British foreign Office
