NEGOTIATIONS REPORTED UNDEF
WAY-CowLEY AND N1MMo
WILL SOON LEAVE.

That the Grand opera house will
continue business after the first of
the year, when Managers Cowley and
Nimmo intend to depart, was learned
by The World today, although the mat
ter could not be confirmed, owing to
the inability to locate the new mana.
gers of the institution.
One Of the reports was to the effect
that after the next attraction, "Mad-
anne Sherry" Messrs Nimmo s Cowley
would cease to be managers Of the
house and that Messrs. Foster and
Stewart will lease it.
Mr.. Stewart, who now has charge
Of the stage, and Mr.. Foster in charge
of the orchestra, will make a good
team to put the opera house on good
financial basis and if they complete
negotiations, The World is sure that
there will be no danger of the Grand
closing its doors.

DO NOT LEAVE 1T UNTIL THE
LAST MOMENT-HELP THE
MERCHANTS

With the approach of Christmas fol-
lowing close on the heels of another
holiday, it would be well for every
reader of The World to do their shop
ping early, especially for such things
as they expect to send out of the city
for the usual holiday rush will be on
and the CONGESTION Of the mails and the
rush in the express Offices will neces-
state delay if everything is left as
usual until the last moment.
It is an undoubted fact that each
year many things are lost, delayed and
undelivered because the patrons of the
delivery offices neglect to send their
presents until the last moment and of
course it all has to go as best it can.
Do your Christmas Shopping early.

INTERESTS THE LADIES OF Dew
Ills LAKE WITH FREE BAKING
SCHOOL, AT SEVu.LA.

Mrs. Briggs, the lecturer and illus
traitor at the free baking school, GER
tainly did take the ladies of Devils
Lake by surprise. Her success was
instantaneous, judging by the enthus-
iastic interest Of the large number Of
ladies present. There is no doubt about
Mrs. Briggs being expert in her work;
she is simply wonderful. The baking
school is sure to be popular will. the
housewives of Devils Lake, as there is
so much that is practical and useful
in everyday baking taught by this ex-
pert. Everything she does in her work
is explained in an understandable way.
AS each receipt is put together the
consistency of the dough as it should
be is shown, and you are told how to
cont,cl the temperature Of your oven
to secure results that are unfailing AMI
satisfactory. It is noted in the work
of this expert that she has no failures
in |,aking. She serves what she bakes
to the ladies present as it c,mes from
the oven. The K. G. baking powder
used by Mrs. Briggs in her work Ger.
tainly gives an astonishing result, if
the food baked by it is any criterion
to go by. Ladies who have tried this
modern never-failing powder are gen
erous in their praise of it and are ad-
vising their neighbors and those they
are interested in to order can from
their grocer and insist on his sending
it to them at once. The ''Cook Book -
which goes fee to users Of K. G. for
the return to the baking school of the
certificate found in each can, is the
most practical and valuable ever writ
ten by Mrs. Hill, our greatest author
ity on culinary art. If you want to
make some one happy give them a

more than its value.
