Better Cake and Biscuits

In all receipts calling for
baking powder, use Royal Baking
Powder, Better and finer food
will be the result, and you will
safeguard 1t against a possible
dangerous compound.
Look out for adu1 terated bak--
ing powders. Do not PERM them
to come into your house under any
consideration. They may add an
injuriO Gus substance to your food,
destroying in part its digesti-
bility. Doctors will tell you
this and it is ionable.
Housewives are sonnet ines led
to use inferior baking powders
because Of deceptive foaming or
boiling tests or apparent lower
cost, but there g very little
difference in practical use,
about one cent for a whole cake
or pan Of biscui ts--a mere tPif1e
when you consider the vast diff
ference in heal thfu1ness in favor
Of food made with Royal Baking
Powder.

In the presence of Princess August Wilhelm, who represented the em- press; many members of Von Hin- denburg's family, the chancellor and other distinguished officials a huge wooden monument of Field Marshal von Hindenburg was unveiled in the Konigsplatz, in Berlin, close to the column of Victory. The Second Ma surian infantry regiment, No. 147, which distinguished itself in the bat tie of the Masurian lakes and which since has carried the name of Hin- denburg, had a deputation of officers present who were warmly acclaimed. Fifty-two thousand pounds of alder wood were needed for the statue. Gold, silver and iron nails are to be driven into the statue by the donors to war hospital charities, the drivers of the iron nails, paying 50 pfennigs (about 12 cents) for each nail. and the gold and silver nails paying higher prices. When the entire statue is full of nails, thus virtually converting it into metal, it will be transferred to Von Hindenburg's country estate.

score of humanity. I also crossed into Haparanda and inspected the arrangements of the Swedish Red Cross under pr. Nauchkoff, who spoke very highly of the completeness and humanity of the treatment of the ln- jured prisoners of war by the Rus sian authorities. It was very clear that the Swedish authorities did not hold the same favorable opinion the treatment of Russian prisoners by the Germans, and I was informed at Haparanda that they were sent out of Germany, in a painfully, dirty and neglected condition, often half naked and half straVed
 Like Scare Crows.
 'I had the opportunity of verify ing these reports the next moring, when about 25O Russian prisoners ar rived from Germany. Several of the men were wearing the same cotton hospital, with worn-out list slippers on their feet and no socks, and they had travelled in this condition from Koenigsberg in Germany, through Sweden and into Russian territory at
 
 scare crows so ragged and filthy was their condition, and one was clothed in the uniform of a dead French prisoner of war. They were thin and weak and said that they had been half starved during the imprisonment. They produced samples of the bread that was given them, it being eX- tremely hard and mouldy and mixed wifi oT~fi of straw. They said little or no meat was given them in the thin soup served out to them daily. In addi- tion they had been subjected to se- were punishment for alleged breaches of discipline despite their maimed and disabled condition, the punish men including their being compelled ! to stand on barrels for hours at a time, or being tied to posts with their arms above their heads. They were | also frequently struck by their Ger man guards with the butts of their 1 rifles or the flat of their swords "One of the worst features of the | condition of the returned Russian | prisoners was the number of cases of | tuberculosis. These numbered some sixty out of the 250 men returned asd I was told that the usual number was about twenty per cent. The cases of | tuberculosis among German and 1 Austrian prisoners, on the other hand | were only five to six per cent out of the total of 1,250 already exchanged. l Some of the returned Russion prison CTS had lost their feet while in prison | in Germany, from frost-bltes due to l exposure.

New York has not even kept pace; I believe, with the. growth of the country and the increase in grain acreage.
 Turning from freight to vessels that carry it, we will consider the statistics relating to the number and registered tonnage of vessels in the foreign trade that entered and cleared from American ports in 1910 and 1914.
 Boston In Lead.
 During the five years 1910-1914, |, Boston, with a total net registered tonnage of 5,5S0,621 tons in 1914, showed an increase of 3,037,353 tons, or 119.4 per cent, while New York with total of 31,18S,941 tons in 1914, showed an increase of only D. 604,220 tons or 21.9 per cent"
 He cited other figures to similar ef- feet, and said:
 These indicate, I believe, that the prestige of New York is as seriously threatened by other ports on the At lantic seaboard as is that of Buffalo by other ports on the Great Lakes, and, in my opinion, it is as imperative to act promptly and on large, un- selfish and scientific scale in respect of New York if we are to hold the 1 business that is rightfully ours."

 His report follows:

BURST OF SPEED, COP THEY'RE HERE AGAIN
Girl Being Initiated Into Secret society Wants to Be Traffic
 POIiceman-Yas, RahIey.

Say girls, if someone told you to put on a black stocking and shoe and a white stocking and shoe, safety pinned an alarm clock over your heart and sent you to the biggest Policeman in New Britain to beseach him to let you take his place as traffic officer, would you do it? Now don't all answer at once. It was under stood you wouldn't in the first place, even before that question was asked.
 We'll, one girl did just that thing yesterday while being initiated into a High school society. She wore a white stocking on her left-er-limb with a white shoe to match and a black stocking on her right-er-limb and shoe to match. Right where it could keep in step with the beating Of her heart she wore an alarm clock. Followed by a number of other High school students, she pranced along Main street and approaching Officer Clarence Lamphere at Crowelps cor ner she asked in a demure and sweet voice whether he didn't feel tired and want to be relieved. Needless to say, the voluntary Ladies' Auxiliary to the Police Force didn't get the job.
 It is said that the girl was being initiated into a secret society. Whether it was Bita Piecea Cheese or Tapa Kega Beer is not known.

NEW YORK LOSING
 COMMERCE PRESTIGE
Canadian Ports Providing Facil-
 itieS for Trade

Syracuse, N. r., Oct. 7.-New York city is losing much of it's prestige in
 commerce, according to Frank S.
 Ellsworth, secretary of the New York State Waterways Association, in an address before the sixth annual con- vention of that association which met at Syracuse today. On the one hand, he declared Montreal and other Canadian lake and tide water ports were making lavish expenditures of kind for present and prospective com merce, and were constantly increasing the amount of grain handled-grain which could, he said be prop erly handled through New York. On the other hand, Atlantic ports, such as Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans es than New York in the number of vessels entering and clearing port:
 He said In parts
 'The grain receipts at Montreal in
 1909 were 43,551,119 bushels in 1910
 they were 1,876,171 bushels greater, in 1911 they were 5,774,176 bushels greater, in 1912 they were 14,S42,5SS bushels greater and in 1913 they were A6JoH ,1L o poSAOlo, LII IIlOI0 more CndIl 50 per cent. greater than in 1909,
 and in 1914 they totaled 99,O54,293 bushels, an increase og 127.4 per cent. over 1909, and were only 6O,OOO,0OO bushels less than New York's total | for the same year. It can be point l ed out in reply that during this same period the receipts at New York in creased from 94,434,614 bushels to 1 hI1cI hale iv1~ | about 65,0OO,000 bushels, but there | was also a steady increase at the l other American ports, except Boston, l during the same period from 1909 to
 1914, inclusive.
 | An Endless Affair.
 'This struggle for commercial su- | premacy is no affair of a day, a month | or @ year, but is endless and calls for
 the most earnest thought, the great
 est strategic ability. The principal struggle has not opened along the
 Atlantic coast, because, believe, New l York has scarcely awakened to the danger that threatens. When all o1 l the forces are aligned, possibly with | New York against the wall, we shall l realize that we at the beginning of the most decisive battle yet fought on American soil. Tn the meantime
 let us assimilate the fact that Mon- l treal has every facility-railroads l elevators and wharves-for the expe-
 ditious handling of grain, and that ii | is rapidly overcoming the handicap l imposed until recently by lack ot vessels. Despite the higher ocean freight and insurance rates, the au- tumnal and spring ice hazard an6
 the fact that 1t is not an ice-free
 port, Montreal is taking business away l from New York. Whatever may be
 said for or against the views I am | expressing, the official statistics o1 l both the United States and Canadian ] governments show the grain move.

 Greece Helping Refugees.
 "The Greek government is; doing all it can to help more than 300,000 homeless refugees from Asia Minor, Macedonia and Thrace. 70,000 home- less now are in Mytilehe, 22,000 in Chios, over 50,0O0 in Saloniki and the remainder scattered over Macedonia, all in dire want, especially of clothing. The government is able to keep them from actual starvation but an expense of 3,000,000 francs ($600. .00O) a month is very heavy for small country. That help should be offered from America at this juncture is a source of most sincere joy to me.
 For don't forget that I am a Cretan. I remember the war for the liberty of Crete and the puissant aid and generosity of America in 1906. No Greek, certainly no Cretan, could over forget, whatever the destinies of Greece may be in the war upon which America is and will be unpayable."
