There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most heathfu1 ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

JUDGE TALKS ABOUT
JUDGES IN POLITICS

Judge Peter Breen. when asked b.
Austin Reveille man for his opinion
regarding judicial hats as they were
slung into the political ring gave this
paper splendid interview. He talked
Of Hughes. man OF opposite political
views and OF close-in folks who hold
lofty Nevada positions. When he
spoke OF Hughes, he took off his hat
and said that he wished he knew how
to deliver to him the deep-founded
faith he has for the man. So we are
glad to put the Judges well weighed
words in print and let them go their
way over the clodded plains of Ne
vada's political turmoil this year. This
is what Judge Breen said:
my opinion is about what 1t has
been for ten or fifteen years past.

THE MYSTERIES OF
OIL FLoTATIoN

Oil flotation has recently become an
everyday term among metal mining
persons, yet it is passing strange so
little is positively known regarding
the why" of the process according to
the Mining American. Readers of the
technical press know that practically
every eXperimenter with oil flotation
has formulated his own theory to ac-
count for the phenomenon, but the I'M
preston among laymen is that no one
has. as yet, found the right answer
There is wonderful amount or re-
search being carried on with this pro-
cess all over the world and its scope
is gradually being amplified. At first,
flotation was said to be successful
with, or applicable to, only sulphide
minerals. Later il was found TO sue
coed with tullurides and all minerals
not containing oxygen-oxides, sui
pilates, silicates, phosphates and car
Donates of the metals being declared
not amenablc. Still later, however.
this belief regarding the methods lin.
itations required substantial revision
for metallurgists succeeded. little by
little. in floating numerous valuable
salts and are now proving the efficacy
of the process in treating tunSstates.
There is now no safe prediction as
to the ultimate limitations OF oil flo
tation. Among the many intensely in

HOPES THE WOMEN
WILL DO BETTER

The next legislature has a big job
cut out for 1t in the way of reducing
the cost of maintaining our state gov
eminent. Will the voters send men
to the Legislature that will work for
these reforms or will they Just vote
for some candidate because he is
good fellow and needs a little money?
We think the women will use better
judgment in selecting legislative TIM
Der than the men, at least better judg-
ment than the men of Nevada have
used in the last eight or ten years.

given the ballot and for goodness sake
exercise it TO a better advantage than
do the men.-Gardnerville Record.
