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 harmful ingredients used in many
cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known to
be the only baking powder made of
Royal Grape Cream of Tartar, and
this no doubt explains its greatly in
creased 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" "alum-
mum" or phosphate of lime" appear
among the ingredients, they heed the
warning and avoid baking powders
containing these substitutes.

INJUNCTION
ISSUED AGAINST THE SALE OF
THE BUTLER JOINT DITCH.

The anticipated injunction proceed
ings to restrain the commissioners
of Wood, Hancock, Henry and Put
nam counties from constructing the
Butler joint ditch, were filed in com.
mon pleas court Monday by Luther G.
Carson and twenty-one other parties
owning land along Beaver creek.
Judge Fries granted a temporary in
junction against the sale of the
work, which was to have been made
Wednesday, and now the matter will
have to be fought out in the courts.
The plaintiffs represent that ever
since the Jackson Cutoff was con-
structed in 1878, Beaver creek has
been greatly overtaXed on account of
the large volume of water wrongfully
diverted INTO its channel through
Jackson Cutoff, thus flooding their
lands to their great damage. They
further allege that much more dam
age will result from the proposed i'm
provement of the Butler joint ditch.
They further allege that the joint
board of commissioners of Wood,
Hancock, Henry and Putnam coun-
ties refused to enlarge Beaver creek
so as to provide an adequate outlet
for Jackson Cutoff, or to pay the
plaintiffs damages which they will
suffer on account of the proposed i'm
provement of the Butler joint ditch
and Jackson Cut-off.
Plaintiffs ask that at the final hear
ing the injunction be made perpetual

ATTRACTIONS AT THE VAlEN-
TINE THEATRE, TOLEDO, WEEK
OF NOVEMBER FIRST,

What will undoubtedly be one of
the most interesting attractions of
the season is "Brewster's Millions" +"
which will be seen at the Valentine
Theatre, Toledo, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, November 4, 3, 9th.
The play is a dramatic version of
George Barr McCutcheon's successful
novel. Frederic Thompson's original
company, headed by Edward Abeles
in the stellar character, and the splen-
did organization that supported him
during the long runs of the play in
New York and Chicago will be seen
here. There are thirty speaking parts
in the play which not only requires
capable actors, but also a tremendous
scenic, mechanical and electrical out
fit. Some of the effects are remark
able notably that in the third act
depicting a storm at sea which is so
perfect an illusion that the audience
is swayed as if it were actually on
board the ship. This illusion is pro-
duced by a combination of mechanic
al and electrical effects all of which
owe their origin to the genius of
Frederic Thompson and on which he
holds ten distinct patents.
The Valentine Theatre, Toledo,
Ohio, will offer on Saturday after
noon and night November 9th. an en-
tertainment productive of as much
laughter as any performance now be-
ing given on the stage. Nc Intyre &
Heath in THE Ham Tree" This is
one of the most effective musical
comedies ever brought out. 1t scored
heavily with the public, both by rea-
son of the ability of the stars to
furnish continuous incentive to laugh
ter and because of its chorus, which,
has been accepted as one of the best
trained and best looking Organiza-
tions which musical comedy has
brought forth. The lavishness with
which it is costumed has attracted
especial attention and the zest with
which it contributes its share to the
performance has never failed to arouse
enthusiasm among the audiences, and
produces the proper spirit of apprec-
iation for the performance. MyIntyre
& Heath are themselves well known
for their ability to entertain by i'm
personating the Georgian darkies.
Their negro drolleries are unimit-
able and never fail to amuse.
No production that will visit this
theatre this year will be richer in
mirth than this one.

LMillions of DollnrsN

The total represented in the above
figures forms somewhat more than
two-thirds of the gross earnings of our
railroads. The other third not repre-
sented is held in the form of working
capital. of surplus and other undistrib-
uted resources. The annual disburse-
ments of the two-thirds here under
discussion comprise a series of finan-
cial operations of the most intimate
relation to the communities concerned.
The wage payment or earnings of en-
ployes in 1906 was S901 100000, having
increased 1925, 100000, or over 33 per
cent, since 1902; while dividends and
interest, or the share which capital
gets, increased 81 per cent, and the
share of taxes Al per cent. The num-
ber of employees of railroads has in
creased during this period from 1,1S9,-
315 to 1921 ,Hj5 persons, or nearly a
third. The total amount of disburse-
ments to tl.e credit of labor has kept
pace with the gain in numbers. The
rewards to capital have gained some
what less, while the amount of taxes
has increased more rapidly than either
of the other participants.-Wa Street

Metallic Metaphors.

"It is most amazing" said a metal
lurgist, chow the world relies on met
ais for its metaphors and SMILES.
Thus, an orator is silver tongued or
golden mouthed. An explorer is
bronzed by African suns. A resolute
chap has an iron will. A sluggard
moves with leaden feet An ostrich
has copper lined stomach. A million
aire has tin. A swindler is as slippery
