tin county, Echo Kincaid of Douglas
county, Anna Level OF Lincoln county,
ton county, Lillian Clark of Wala Walla
county, and Mabel Simmons Of Chelan
county composed the party. They had
through car from Spokane to Chicago,
thereby avoiding unpleasant changes in
the night. They left Spokane by way of
the 0. r. & n. and Union Pacific to
Omaha, arriving there four hours late,
but the train had been held for the spe-
cial car, so they did not miss connection.
In the Windy City.
The party arrived in Chicago Sunday,
September Is, eight hours late, the girls
having enjoyed parts of the trip very
much, especially through the alfalfa
fields OF the Payette valley, the cornfelds
of Nebraska and the beautiful natural
groves OF Iowa, finally crossing the Mis-
sissippi river into Illinois, where the
scenery was much the same on into Chi
cagO. Wyoming has not been mentioned.
The least said about it the better-Doth-
ing but alkali, mountains of it, as far as
the eye can see. The party left Chicago
Immediately for Washington, ID. O., on
the Pennsylvania line, arriving there at
$50 Monday evening. Each of the girls
had several thousand pamphlets telling
of the beauties and good qualities OF
their own particular county, which they
began distributing through the trains
and leaving large bundles in the depots

across the bay from the exposition. The
exposition cannot compare with the

A Good Result

Under the operation of the new
Pure Food Laws, baking powders
now generally bear on the labels a
statement of the ingredients. This
is of utmost importance because
of the har rmful ingredients used in
many CT ses.
Royal Baking Powder is known
to be the only baking powder made
of Royal Grape Cream of Tartar,
and this no doubt explains it's
greatly increased sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking
advantage of the protection which
the Laws afford, and are examining
all the reading matter on the back
of the label before adopting any
brand for use in the home.
When in place of the words
Cream of Tartar the words "alum"
aluminium" or phosphate of
lime" appear among the ingredi-
ents, they heed the warming and
avoid baking powders containing
these substitutes.

Mrs. Hensley Awarded Damages

The suit for damages of Mrs.
Maria Hensley against firm in
sDes Moines for injuries received in
ian accident at an alley which she
was crossing when run down by a
runaway team coming out of the
alley, at the hearing before a jury
year or so ago was decided in her
favor; but the Judge over ruled
their verdict and decided against
her. The case was then appealed
by the latter to the State Supreme
Court, which reviewed the evil
dence, over-ruied the inferior
courts order and sustained the
Jury verdict, which we hear was for
over sixteen hundred dollars
This was surely a just decision
considering the many weary
months passed in suffering before
she could again move about the
house.
