whole country was half
frenzied over the fact a
great railroad strike seemed
inevitable. 1t was something
to worry about because, it
would have been a hard blow

Judged from the fact it would
have knocked the legs from
under the wheat market. not TO
mention the fact there could
have been no Roundup with
transportation facilities lack
ing.
The cry then was for some
thing to avert the strike. Presi-
dent Wilson rose to the situa-
ton and accomplished what
most people thought could not
be done. That he had salts

the fact 70 republican members
of the house joined with the

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
Baking Powder.

APPROXIMATELY half the

Of this type consists Of but one

come from an annual visit from

The conditions being as stat
Cd there is need Of good teach

rural school should have the
very best individual teacher
because of the undivided re-
