PURITY

The ingredients Of the food
you eat and give your children
should be pure and healthfu1
beyond any question.
Various food officials and
pure food experts have frequently
endorsed Royal Baking Powder as
being superior to all other simi-
lar preparat ons, and many OF the
great chemis 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 on for purity, strength
and Who'll es oneness, from the most
eminent authorities, as Royal
Baking Powder.
Because Royal Baking Powder
adds only hea1thfu1 qualities to

it is always preferred by teach

BRIST0W IS NAMED
Retiring U. s. Senator To Be
Member Utilities Commission.
Long Looked for Announce
ment Made by Arthur Capper.

Joseph L. Bristow, retiring United
States senator from Kansas. has an
nounced that he will accept a place
on the public utilities commission and
will be named in March by Arthur
Capper, governor-elect.s Bristow will
come to Topeka as soon as his term in
the senate expires and will sit as a
member of the commission during the
hearing of the passenger rate case.
1t was generally understood in
Kansas political circles that Senator
Bristow would become a member of
the utilities commission. Several
weeks ago the State Journal an
nounced that Capper had offered the
appointment to the retiring senator
and that he would probably accept
the place. Upon receipt of a telegram
stating that he would take a position
on the commission, Capper announced
the appointment.
Bristow went to the United States
senate in 1909, having defeated Ches-
ter I. Long for denomination in 1908
in the first statewide primaries held
in Kansas. For eight years, from
1897 to 1905, Bristow was fourth as
sistant postmaster general. In 1905,
the widely known Kansan was namsd
by President Roosevelt as special
commissioner for the Panama rail-
road. Senator Bristow's home is in
Salina, where he is publisher Of the
Salina Journal 1t Is probable that he
will make his home in Topeka during
his term as a member of the utilities
commission. The office carries with II
a salary of $4,000 q year. - T. erS

cables had a bearish effect today on
wheat. Attention to the fact that much
of the United States surplus already un-
der contract for export had not yet left
this country and was in emergency sub

bulls. On the other, country offerings re-
manned small, and interior mills were

ing NC to 1c lower, prices here sagged
a little further, and then made a moderate
rally.
Subsequently,, a swift upturn took place,
the result of all offerings having passed
into strong hands. Italy and France were
said to be buying huge amounts at the
seaboard. with Italy paying H.9931 a
bushel for urum delivered in Europe. The
close was strong at 1Zc to 23sc net ad-
vance with May at 81 SA. after having
touched $1.3SA, the highest level since the

laughed at the offer and the deal fell
through and was forgotten-until
along towards the close Of last August
when the German advanced across

Another story I heard. from anoth-
err source. was that some years ago a
German bought country home Tor
himself near Paris. Upon COM
manding ridge stood his house and
upon the house was a pointed spire.
To the right and left of the house. he
planted a single line of fir-trees. with
graceful, peaked tops, and. down the
slopes a few hundred yards. tennis
court in cement and asphalt was laid.
The German seeming. took a sud
den dislike to his country home about
tte time he had finished improving 1t.
for he went back to Germany and did
not show up again-until war was de-
clared.
Then he was we1ring a uniform.

tillery.
The tennis court was nothing moro
than a foundation for heavy guns;
the country house, with it's pointed
turret was the center of a sighting
system, of which the fir trees to right
and left were adjuncts (notches).
The story has 1t that had the Germans
a. anced to this point they could have

civil officer Of the district. He had had
a part in the deal and he ought to
know. About three years ago a COM
pany was formed in Germany for the
purpose Of buying up and retaining
swampland. The first land this COM
pany set it's heart upon was the
Marshes of Saint-Gond. These lands be-
long to the commune. or county-or
rather to several counties-and the Of
ficers representing the communes were
asked to get together for deal with
the Germans. The German company
proposed to drain the swamp and turn
the land into the richest of farms.
which farms would be sold OF in lots to
French farmers.
How much would the company give
for the swamps? The company would
make an offer as soon as the proper
estimate OF the cost of drainage could
be made out.

fore began work in the marshes. Ev-

Advance on Budapest.
The advance on Budapest from the
east may become the decisive stroke
OF the Hungarian campaign, relegat-
ing the Carpathian movement to Sec
ondary importance as protection for
the exposed east flank of the eastern
army. The road to Budapest from the
east, with Bukovina in Russian pos
session, presents less difficulties than
the northern route. The eastern way
Is the longer, even though it is not so
disturbed by easily defended noun
tains.
The disposition of the Austrian forces
will determine which of the two move
ments becomes, in fact. the more i'm
portant. Russia may try to advance
both of them together. hoping to catch
the Austrians in the wedge and crush
them; but there are reports that sew
eral German army corps are now hur-
rying into Hungary. With their ar
rival, strategic traps, which might en-
tice the Austrians to destruction, will
have far less chance of being sprung
and the business of going to Budapest
will develop its serious side.
