Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trifie 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 cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

COAL OUTPUT FELL
SLIGHTLY IN 1915

Anthracite coal production in the Uni
ted States was 10000 short tons less
in 1915 than ii was in 1914, according
to a review OF the coal mining industry
of the United States by the Geologic ical
Survey.
Though the coal industry generally be-
gan the year 1915 under adverse condi-
tions. it improved steadily during the
summer and fall in sympathy with the
general betterment OF business. and in
November and December was in better
position regards markets. and prices
than at any time since 1913. according
to the survey report. BituminouS pro-
duction increased greatly in the East.
more than offsctting lack OF gain i'm
the anthracite fields and the Western
b!tuminous fields. Total production for
the wear was 5lS.oc0.O)0 short tons. an
increase over 1914 of less than I per
cent.
Eastern production OF bituminous was
stimulated by the steady demand for
export coal and for coke for steel MAX
ing. and the general improvement IN
business. The Eastern increase would
have been greater. in the opinion OF the
survey. If there had not been a short
