How TO Detect the
Alum Baking Powder

Which are the alum baking powders;
how can avoid them unless they are nameda"
asks a housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can Of a low
priced powder in your hand and read the
ingredient clause upon the back label. The
law requires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated. If you find
one Of the ingredients named alum, or sui
phate Of aluminium, you have found an alum
baking ponder.
There is another and a better way. You
don't have to know the names Of the alum
powders, Use Royal Baking Powder only;
that assures you a cream Of tartar powder.
and the purest and most healthful baking
powder beyond question.

HALL0WELL

At the meeting of the Belgian relief
committee which was held in the court
room of the city building Friday evening
it was decided to continue the efforts to
secure aid for the destitute Belgians by
personal solicitations for food and cloth
ing and special committees were appoint
ed as follows to canvas the several wards
of the city: Ward I, Fred Goodwin and
Mrs. W. H. Perry; Ward 2. Rev. W. H.
Brokenshire, Aldo Palegrini; Ward 8, M.

The Leigh store, south of d. G. Stoves
clothing store on Water street, has been
secured to deposit the donations until
they can be shipped. The key to this
store is with D. G. Stoves. The express
companies and the railroads will ship all
goods for the Belgian relief free of
charge to the centers of collection, and
the, National Belgian Relief Commission
furnishes ships to transport the supplies
to Belgium. The chairman of the Ma
tfonal Relief Commission stated recently
that mot one loaf of bread or one spoon
full Of salt had failed to reach those for
whom IT was destined" and that the mill
tary authorities were in no way hinder
ing the commission in the work of dis
tribution. So that money, food and cloth
ing given for the Belgians will reach the
Belgians 1t was thought that very few
non-perishable food products could be Sc
cured in this city although beans and
peas will be an acceptable donation. Cash
responses are expected from the letters
of appeal that the committee has already
sent out. The main effort of the special
ward committees will be to solicit cloth
ing, especially warm undergarments, nit
tens, also blankets and shoes. Old cast
of and worn out garments are not suit
able. Good seryiceable garments are re-
quired. II any persons wish to save the

GARDINER SMASHING
STATE RECORDS IN
BOWLING LEAGUE

Not content with increasing it's lead in
the State League, the speedy Gardiner
team smashed the team single record in
it's game with Augusta last Thursday,
topping the timbers for 5s2, the old rec
ord being 51s, formerly held by Water
vile. The Gardiner team now leads in
everything. holding all of the records and
being pretty safely ensconced in the top
position of the league standing.
Watervtlle took two strings and the to-
tai away from Lewiston in the battle be-
tween these two teams at Waterville, the
victory placing them in a tie for second
and third places with the Spindle City
outfit. The losers shook up their bat
ting order to some extent in their en-
deavors to slip one over on the jinx, but
and stuck right by them.
The leading Gardiner quintet defeated
the Augusta team by the same score as
the above game, smashing the team sin
gle record in its second string. Augusta
won the first string by six pins, but after
that the Gardiner aggregation came back
in fine style and took the other two
strings, easily running away with the
total pinfall
vidual records, was high man for the
evenings bowling with pretty total
pinfall of 800, while his namesake. T. Har-
rington, was high for the single string
with 118.

Federal League Club.
Baker asked officials of the local
Federal club if they could use hifu,

If we can find a way of taking Ba-
ker without a suit the deal will be
consumated," Ball declared.

which resulted in Bender signing
