There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes, is used in Royal Baking Powder because it is the best and most healthful 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 are 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.

GOVERNMENT WARNS
AGAINST GASOLINE

If you don't think gasoline is
dangerous, listenl Accurate re-
cords have shown, says the La
dies Home Journal, that. the
average weekly toll of gasoline
fires in the United States has
been twenty persons killed and
sixty injured. Many of these
fires have originated in such
common home processes as
cleaning clothing and gloves.
Uncle Sans experts have pre-
pared a booklet showing why
gasoline should be handled
with the utmost care, and what
precautions to take in using it.
This expert advice should be
in every home, garage or other
establishment where gasoline is
used. This bulletin is free as

DON'T LET YOUR SWEET
POTATOES ROT

The sweet potato is too valu-
able to permit to rot when it
can be saved so easily and with
no expense. If sweet potatoes
are carefully handled without
severe bruising at time of har-
vest, are properly assorted with
the rotten potatoes thrown out
before storing and are well
ventilated for ten days after
killing they will not rot Where
potatoes are grown for home
use only it is not necessary to
have an expensive potato house.

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great falling-of in the sale of calomel
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs so cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
suggishness and constipation, you have
only to AJAX for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant -tast-
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine, no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. 1t
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel Take
dose of ealomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak. sick and nauseated.
Don't lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine full of
vigor and ambition.

HENRY FORD ON
USE OF LIQUOR

The following is taken from
a pamphlet issued by the Ford
Motor Company.
"Alcohol, says an exchange,
will remove stain from sum-
mer clothes"
THAT is true, but it also re-
moves the summer clothes, also
the spring, the autumn and the
winter clothes, not only from
him, but from the wife and
family as we'll.
1T removes the household
furniture, the eatables from
the pantry, the smiles from the
face of his wife and the laughs
from the innocent lips of child
rem. 1t removes happiness from
the home. AS a remover of
things, alcohol has no equal"

THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital Tor several years proved that
there is no other ellminator OF uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment IN the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely vAnuric"
acts. The best of results are ALWAYS
obtained In cases OF acute rheumatism
In the joints, IN gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persstently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
90 to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package of
eAnunc," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. Ii you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him a sample OF your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DIR, Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge
NoTE - French scientists affirm that
"Anuric" is thirty seven times more
active than hthia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given TO children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases-as oAnuricn

is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

DON'T BURN TRASH

The most expensive, yet the
quickest way to get rid of trash
and crop remains in the field is
by fire; however, this practice
cannot be recommended. The
best farmer never burns any
thing that can be used as fer
tilizer. 1t is true that fire de-
stroys great quantities of plant
food and too much of our soil
fertility goes up in smoke every
year.Our soils need the organic
matter which this rubbish will
supply. This material will sup
ply a great deal of plant food
for the next crop. While de-
caying it will also supply food
for many beneficial organisms
and this same rubbish will OPP
en- up the soil and permit the
free circulation Of air andmois-
ture which with the help of
these organisms will liberate
new supplies of plant food.
Don't burn but turn under the
trash before December l and
cut down next years fertilizer
bill.

WOODROW WILSON

Presidents Stand and Pre-

Editor Journal saw today

ture of President Wilson and a
copy of his letter of May l.,
1911, written to Rev. Thomas
D. Shannon, Newark, n. j., in
which the president declares
himself in favor of local option,
and the argument is being used
in this circular that the presi-
dent is opposed to statewide
prohibition.
This shows the depths to
which the liquor people will
descend. This letter was writ

governor of New Jersey, and
was written to citizen ofNew-

FALL FLOWING TO CON
troll WEEVIL

To protect next years cot
ton crop, destroy the feed and
hiding places of the boil weevil
now. Weevils stop feeding and
hide in old cotton stalks. burs
and bolls and other trash with
the first freeze. Destroy their
food supply and shelter before
the freeze by blowing under
all rubbish and cleaning up the
fence rows and corners. When
freezing weather comes the
last generation will be exposed
and great numbers will be de
.ence of conditions which makes
it impossible to reply to any
single question ike those Of
prohibiting in terms which
would fit the whole country.
With much respect.
CORDIALLY and sincerely
yours,
"WOODROW WILSON,"
There is 10 conflict between
the Shannon and Grogan let
ters. The difference was in the
condition in the two states. Mr..
Wilson commended the move
ment for local option in New
Jersey, but for Texas said, q
believe that for some states
statewide prohibition is posi-
bic and practicable. | have no
reason to doubt from what |
know of the circumstances that
statewide prohibition is both
practicable and desirable in
Texas"
Both of these fetters were in
full harmony with local self
government and also with state
wide prohibition. Those who
know the history of prohibition
IN any dry state knows that the
first effort was for local option
then for total prohibition. The
same positions then taken by
President Wilson would Justify
faVoring local option, then for
total prohibition. The same
positions then taken by Presi-
dent Wilson would justify fav-
oring local option in Pennsyl-
Eania and statewide prohibi-
ton in Arkansas, which is
doubtless the position of the
president ut this time.
Using one of these letters
without the other wholly mis-
represents the presidents posi-
ion. Every man, whether
prohibitionist or not, who
a fair deal and who
would resent this wrong to the
president Of the United States
ought to vote against Act No.
,. Yours truly,
GEORGE THORNBURG,
Pres. Arkansas Anti-Saloon
League.
