A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means a heathfu fruit origin,
1t means natural food rs distinguished from
mineral cubstitutC3 u1cd in other baking
powders.

The Oldest Bible manuscripts now In

All the earlier manuscripts were ell

prosecutions which were directed not

The Sinaitic was found by the eminent
Bible scholar, Tischendorf, In a con-

ryphal books. The writing. after a
lapse Of more than fifteen hundred
years, Is still clear and legible. Tho
Alexandrian manuscript, which came
to light In 1928, Is not quite so ancient
as the Slnaitic. II has the Old Testa-
ment complete, except that ten leaves
are missing, and the New Testament
lacks nearly thirty leaves. II is in the
British museum. The Vatican man.

seven hundred leaves OF vellum bound

psalms. The New Testament Is COM

Other early Bible manuscripts of great
value, but inferior to the three men
toned are the Codex Ephraem and the
Codex Bezae. besides which there is a
long list of later manuscripts.

The Extinct Billy Goat.

Strange is the march of time. The
billy and nanny goat were once
dominating feature In every civilized
American community. A snapshot
could not have been taken without a
goat somewhere In the picture, but the
goat was not deemed d fit insect tn
hobnob In swell society. Its product
might be admitted across the thresh-
old OF the rich, but not its savory self.
The highest standard the goat has
ever attained is the mascotship OF q
volunteer fire company or similar
Office in the United States navy, which
was practically the lowest rank of
any living thing aboard. In his palmy
days vivid posters were often seen of
him in the act of Juggling with u glass
OF fresh Book, and now, since the
brewerles themselves are In dlsfavor,
the American billy goat is doomed to
pass down the line of has-beens /,

ELECTS off Nantucket on Sunday.
The submarine arm of the imperial
German navy is blamed with the at.
tack on the vessels.
Sunday night the destroyer fiotilla
Of the United States Atlantic feet was
picking up passengers and crews OF
the destroyed vessels and bringing
them to Newport. r. I.
So far as known. there was no loss
OF life, though the crew of the British
steamer Kingston had not been &C
counted for.
A submarine held up the American
steamer Kansas, bound from New
York for Genoa with steel for the
Italian government, but later, on es.
tablishing her identity, allowed the
American to proceed. The Kansan
came into Boston harbor late at night
for her usual call here.
The hostile submarine is believed
to be the U-53, which paid a call to
Newport Saturday and disappeared at
sunset. Some naval men, however.
declared that at least two submarines
are operating close to the American
shore, though outside the three-mile
limit.
The sensation created when the
U-53 quietly slipped into Newport har.
Dor, and as quietly slipped away three
hours later, was nothing to the shock
In shipping circles when wireless re-,
ports of submarine attacks began to
come into the naval radio stations
just before noon Sunday Within a
few minutes the air was literally
charged with electricity as wireless
messages of warning we're broadcast
ed along the coast.
The submarine or submarines had
taken position directly in the steam
or lanes.
Vessels of the entente allied nations
and neutral bottoms carrying contra
band Of war scurried to get within
the three-mile limit of the American
shore. Several that were following
the outside course shifted and made
for the inside lane. The Stephano OF
the Red Cross line. however. was
caught outside the neutral zone.
The destruction of this vessel was
perhaps the biggest prize of the day.
The craft had been sold to the Rus.
sian government and would have been
used as an ice-breaker after her pres
ent trip.
The executive officer of the de-
stroyer Erickson, returning early Sun
day from the scene Of the German
submarine activities of Nantucket,
reported that nine ships had been
sunk and that three submarines were
operating off the coast. This infor.
nation, he said, he had on the author.

THIS COUNTRY SOON
MUST FINANCE ITSELF
People Should Realize Thrift
at Home Is Necessary.

One hundred years ago the first saw
1ngs bank In the United States was es-
tablished. The advent of this inStitu-
don came with the era of commercial
and Industrial expansion. 1t came
when the population Of the United
States was only 9,500,O00, and there
were but 246 banks In the country. By
1920 ten Of these savings banks had
been established with $685. depositors
and aggregate deposits of S1,13S,576.
Prosperity came, the people saved
and the deposits in these great reser
voirs of capital, which now number
2,1O0, by leaps and bounds increased to
enormous proportions. To-day, with
our national wealth approximating
S1S7, 600, 100000 and almost one hun
dred millions of people in the country,
we have about $4,700O00,0OO in the
savings banks belonging to ten and
half million depositors. This may
seem an amazing sum of capital and
number of deposltors, but when com
parison is made with other countries
and balance is struck It is found the
United States is near the end OF the
list in the percentage of savers to pop
ulation.
The possibilities for the greater pro
motion of habits of thrift and saving
among people are indeed eXtraor-
binary. With remarkable Opportuni-
ties In the United States for increas-
ing foreign trade: with bumper crops
In every section of the country; with
gold pouring into the Golfers of the
banks; with every appearance Of un-
precedepted future prosperity, the fact
is apt to be disregarded that the other
great commercial nations Of the world
are involved In a war of frightful de-
struction and economic waste; that aft
er the war these nations will need
funds for reconstruction and the Unit
ed States will be called upon to sup.
ply them; that for some time to come
this country will not be able to secure
capital, as in the past. from France
and Great Britain, for the purpose oi
carrying on new enterprises, The
United States must finance itself
No fear need be had for the imme-
diate future. but 1t is inevitable that
the time is coming when this country
must meet the test Of financing prac
tically the entire world. Preparations
are being made for defense in the
event of war; preparations should also
be made for peace. Adequate credit
machinery can be developed and per
fected, but 1t will assuredly require
sufficient amount Of capital to main
tain properly and keep In good running
condition this credit machinery.
How is this capital going to be Sc
cured? Through education; by calling
the attention Of the people to the lacl
Of thrift in the country, and the bene
feial results Of practicing thrift
through a systematic nationwide cam
paign to promote thrift and saving !
surely is to the interest Of all citizens
whether banker or business man. edi
tor or professional man, employer o
: employe, to be party to such move
ment.
This is the object Of the NATIONWIDE
7 campaign Instituted the drst OF th
, year by the American Bankers Ass'
