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 healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal

FOR CANDIDATES
ATLANTA FEDERATION THREAT
ENING GEORGIA LABOR PARTY
If DEMANDS NOT DE-
FERRED TO.

The Atlanta Federation of Trades
has named a committee to draw up a
list of labor legislative subjects. and
list of questions bearing upon these
is to be submitted to gubernatorial
candidates, Fulton county representa-
tiyes candidates and candidates for
the senate from this district, says a
special from Atlanta.
1t is further stated that when these
question are submitted to the various
candidates, if replies are not forth
coming, the 'grilling system" is to be
used. In event of no reply then the
silence will be taken to mean that
proposed measures and local labor, in
turn will opposethese candidates.
And that is not all. President Louie
I. Marquardt has put himself on rec
ord as favoring labor breaking away
from the Democratic party in Georgia
unless there is assurance that the
next session of the general assembly
will pass the labor program. In such
an event labor will organize a new
party in Georgia.
This state of affairs developed at a
meeting of the Atlanta federation of
Trades Wednesday night which fol-
lowed an editorial urging stand in
the current issue of The Journal of
Labor The committee which was
named Is to report at the next semi
monthly meeting of the federation.
The remedial measures which will
be urged are much the same as have
been pressed in the past, but later
seems determined to draw the issue
this time.

EXHIBIT CAR
IS COMING SOON
MANY INTERESTING AND IN
STRUcTIVE DISPLAYS TO BE
SEEN IN THE CARS.

The Georgia exhibit cars are to be
in Brunswick early in March. NJ.
Leak, who is in charge of the cars,
writes that he is expecting great
crowds in Brunswick as these cars
are educational and instructive of the
great variety of products, natural, ag
ricultural and manufactured, in the
state of Georgia. A visit TO these cars
will cost but % cents, the money thus
raised to be used in sending the cars
to other states, so as to show others
what Georgia has to offer them.
There are many interesting and
instructive things shown in these
cars and those who visit them will be
more than repaid for time and mon
ey spent An effort has been made
to include in the cars the most in
teresting products of the state, as
all could not be shown, and there are
startling features.
Then aside from the museum of
Georgia products the reptilian mu-
scum is second to none. Mr. Leak has
gathered a collection of Aquatic mon.
strosities that attract and hold the
gaze of the spectator while he delin-
Gates upon the various characteristics
of the reptiles. Devil fish, porcupine
fish, angel fish, octopus, tortoise, tur-
tie, and last and greatest of the curl
osities is the mammoth elephant shark
which measures SO feet long weighs
over 10000 pounds and is AGO years
old. This is real man-eating shark
and when you see the enormous mouth
you can fully understand how such a
monster can easily swallow man.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
have had considerable experience in
the manufacture, analysis and testing
Of various hydraulic cements and must
take issue with the following quotation
from Paul McCombs, civil engineer. as
published in his letter to The Herald
recently: Cement as we all know, Is
magnetism limestone with the water
burned out. Now when you add water
to cement, you restore the eYaporated
water which the ingredients take up
and set or harden, and form anew the
same old stone"
I do not wish to enter into a technical
discussion Of this mis-statement, as the
majority OF your readers have but
hazy knowledge Of chemistry. A mag
nesian limestone is one which contains
five percent or over of magnetism
oxide, the percentage increasing up to
the point where we have pure dolOmite
and eventually with replacement Of all
the lime by magnesia we arrive at
magnesite. High grade limestone con-
sists chiefly of carbonate of lime, with
some carbonate Of magnesia and small
amounts Of silica and the oxides of iron
and aluminium. There is little II any wa

ton Of water to the burned material
