Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a triie less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If a cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results In
an actual saving.

NO RECE' YER FOR
WRITMER COMPANY

Chancellor Charles NJ Curtis hand
ed down an opinion this afternoon
denying the application for the ap-
pointment of a receiver pendente lite
in the case of Robert r. Whitmer VS..
William Whitmer & Sons, Inc.
This company was chartered under
the laws of Delaware in 1909 with a
capital stock Of 100000 OF which
S2O00,000 has been issued, the com
plaintant being the owner Of over one
half OF same.
The application for a receiver was
based on the ground of insolvency al
though it was admitted the company
was able TO pay its debts as they ac-
crue. The defence was that the assets
were largely in excess of the liabili-
ties, and showed a surplus OF $4,000
600, including holdings Of valuable
timber lands.
Chancellor Curtis found that the
testimony did not prove such insol-
vency as would demand the appoint
ment of a receiver.
II. II. Ward, w. w. Porter aud !.
G. Forster represented the complain
ant and Hugh M. Morris appeared for
the defendant company.

the service are 20 have their pay conc
tiuued by the company TO March 81
RESOLUTIONS 10 this effect have just been
adopted by the directors
Just after the men were called to the
colors the company d cided that it
would be for a period OF six months. Il
the service continued so long, grant the
men pay equivalent to their present pay
less the amount that is paid by tho
United Sates Government
That term OF six months has pass
ed and the majority OF the men who
accepted the call are still In the SER
vice with no immediate prospect Of
their return to civil life. The action
OF the company, therefore, makes It
possible for them to continue their
services with the government without
hardship to them and their families
for another four months.
The company's contribution to
their support in the form Of these
wage payments has amounted to near
ly 100000 SO far
