PURITY


The ingredient Of the food
you eat and give your children
should be pure and healthful
beyond any quest ion.
Various food officials and
pure food experts have frequently
endorsed Royal Baking Powder as
being superior to all other SINH

great chemi SITS Of the world,
including most Of those Of
official position, have given
like test imony.
No other article Of food has
ever received such emphatic
commendat i on for purity, strength
and wholes oneness, from the most
eminent authorities, as Royal
Baking Powder.
Because Royal Baking Powder
adds only healthfu1 qualities to
the food is one Of the reasons why

grand lodge of Vermont. Today the cen
tennial of the lodge, which now bears the

change in number is due to the fact that
during the anti,Alasonic excitement the
charter was allowed to lapse and sIhse-
quently a new one was issued with a new
number

noon and viii continue this evening, has
brought together many former members
of the lodge from surrounding towns.

| lodge and IS now the past grand master

was replete with interesting incidents.
