Royal
Baking Powder
Absolutely
Pure
Made from Pure Grape Cream of Tartar
Made from Pure Grape Cream of Tartar

In baking powder Royal is the standard, the
powder of highest reputation found by the
United States Government tests of greatest
strength and purity.
1t renders the food more healthful and palat-
able and is most economical in practical use.
Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to
buy alum powders because they cheap"
Yet some of the cheapest made powders sold
to consumers at the highest price.
Housekeepers should stop and think Is it
not better to buy the Royal and take no chances
the powder whose goodness and honesty never
questioned?
Is it economy to spoil your digestion by an
alum phosphate OF other adultered powder to
save few pennies?

NO EDlClNE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment.
ary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal Of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes.
tines, and II we eat too much, as most
OF us do, the organs that should d.
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess OF work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train
Of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this Is changed into acids, sour
stomach. belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
1ndigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders In not only relieving
the distress but In building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago suffered with
bad acknowledgement, indigestion,
constipation-Caused, l know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food
II doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. l could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and l be-
came discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and i began to use 1t. In less than
two weeks i began to feel better, and
inside Of two months l was a well
woman and have been ever since.
Il can eat anything l wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond OF It," Name given by Postum

A Mlsunderstandinu.

Apropos of Misunderstanding on
the canteen question, Gen. Frederick
d. Grant said at dinner in Washing
ton:
1T Is like the case of my friend
Maj. Green. Maj. Green said to his
servant one morning:
James, have left my mess boots
out, I want them soled.'
"'Yes SIR the servant answered.
"The major, dressing for dinner
that night, said again:
II suppose, James. that you did
as l told you about those boots?'
James laid 35 cents on the bureau
"'Yes. sir. said he, and this is all
] could get for them; though the cor
pOral who bought 'em said he'd have
Given half dollar II pay day hadn't

Scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents a
densely populated district on the East
side Of New York city. 1t occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens in his district
some OF his constituents might grow
plants In boxes placed on window
sills or fire escapes, SO he sent an as
sortment of seed to the inmate Of q
model tenement house owned by one
OF his friends. The latter met him
a few days ago and said: "See here,
Sulzer, want you to cut out that seed
business. It's the limit" "Why,
what's the matter?' asked the aston
ished Sulzer, and he explained why he
had sent the seeds. "Oh, you meant
well, all right" returned the friend,
scOrnfully, but when l visited the
place the other day found that about
ten families were raising cabbage, Gu
cumbers and tomatoes in the bath
tubs"

Worth KNOWING.

That Allcock's Plasters are the
highest result of medical science and
skill, and in ingredients and method
have never been equaled.
That they are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters upon whose rep
utation imitators trade.
That Allcock's Plasters never fail to
perform their remedial work quickly
and effectually.
That for Weak Back, Rheumatism,
Colds. Lung Trouble, Strains and all
Local Pains they are invaluable.
That when you buy Allcock's Plas-
ters you obtain the best plasters made.

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST.
The American Settler 10 Welcomed
to Canada.

A number Of the leading newspa.
pers on this side OF the line have been
noticing the growth of the Canadian
West in recent years, and craw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx Of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were Ala homesteads entries
there in July of this year, as against
3,571 in July. 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these 4,174 homesteaders,
1922 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes In Canada West, or Of the sos
from Great Britain, or OF the 1926
from non-British countries. 1t ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that make, Canada rejoice most is
this OF the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
"The compliment is deserved. The
1912 we're mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud.
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express well says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in.
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces. and is aware
Of every phase Of agricultural devel-
opment In recent years.
In practical knowledge of what Is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he Is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what Is required to
bring success, and he Is able and will

apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and GUS
toms OF the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba. Saskatchewan or Alberta
Is not nearly SO marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads Of the Canadian West,
and there are hundreds of thousands
Of them left, that Is extended to the
settler from the Western States.
