Figures given out by State Auditor
Darst show that Jefferson county people
are using 325 automobile licenses. The
great increase in the number OF auiomo-
bies is shown by the fact that in 1906
there were only l72 licensed cars in West
Virginia. There are now over 1900
licensed cars. Ohio county. with ,462
cars, has the greatest number. Only one
county has none and that is Boone county,
where the roads are confined TO the creek
beds principally. Harrison county, with
99S cars. has the second highest number
and Cabell county, with g7S, is third.
Berkeley county has 440 cars.

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
Baking Powder.

(By Charles De Areentage)

This story is presented to you who
appreciate the good things of life to
tell you just few facts which we all
should know about our most important
food 1t is estimated that the average
consumption of bread in the United
States Is a little over one-half pound
per day for every man, woman and
child. While this may seem a great
amount, it is not as large as in other
countries AS bread is the cheapest
and at the same time the most health
full food the high cost of living might
be reduced and we might be healthier
people II We should eat more bread
and less of the expensive food
The history of bread as a food reads
like a romance. 1t has played an
important part in the destinies OF man.
kind and in its struggles through the
age Of perfection. The progress of ma
ttons through their different periods
OF development can be traced bv the
qualities and quantities of bread thew
have used. No other food has taken
such an important part in the civfliza-
tion Of man. To q large extent it has
been. the means of changing his habits
from those OF savage to those of
Siviliznd being.

The results obtained in the following
table took years to compile. Men. wo-
men and children. doing different kinds
OF work and taking different kinds of
exercise, require more OF one kind of
food than of another. The following
represent a balanced human ration
based on government figures. While
1t is not expected that the supply for
every average family will be based on
this ratio. 1t is a valuable table for
reference in any household.
1t was a surprise to find the low cost
of an ideal ration. The food costs only
fraction over thirty cents. but bread,
while costing only one-sixth OF this
amount. supplied nearly one-third of
the total energy.

insist that bread, of all things the most

Of written history ana is mentioned
several times in Genesis. The Egyp-
tians were probably the first bread
makers as there are some very COM
plete records on the old tombs, Exca-
vations at Pompeii show that baking
was regarded as a fne art by the Ro-
mans. All OF these old bakeries show
that in the beginning, milling and bak-
ing were inseparabls. in fact 1t was
not until comparatively recent times
that the bakers ceased to grind their
own flour.
Importance OF Food to Nations
1t Is an interesting fact that the
civilized and the semicivilized people
of the earth can be divided into two
classes, based upon their principal
cereal food-the rice eaters and the
bread eaters.
Every one admits the rice eaters are
less progressive. white bread eaters
have always been the leaders of cfvili-
zation. 1t is an interesting fact that
just as Japan is changing from a rice
eating nation TO breadeating nation
she is asserting her power. Anyone
who stops to consider the history 70
nations viii see that this matter of
what we eat is the one question of vital
Importance. 1t is, therefore, no wonder
that the United States government
through its Department OF Agriculture
(Which annually spends $4,000, 900 in
the betterment of conditions of this
country should give this subject so
much serious attention. 1t is the work
OF that department to learn what food
the average American is eating,
whether that is the most healthful,
what he is paying for that food, and
whether or not he is getting the worth
of his money. It is the duty of every
housewife to learn these same things.
and If possible to see that her family
Is getting the best there Is for the
money. One loaf OF good bread cost
ing about five cents will go as far as
two pounds of meat costing forty to
sixty cents.

Other Teams Not So Bad.
When the Grays took their deparsa

selves OF the worst team they will

sible exception of Rochester. Rich

in vanquishing both Buffalo and Too

Rochester has been a hard team fo1s
Richmond to beat on either the honQ'

They have one of the heaviest hittino

that the Hustlers are not playing tosa

another is that they are not uEnml

Richmond has twenty-five more'
