And only the night and the rain were there
AS she came to me out Of the rain.

A Distinctive Reason

What Is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder9
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.
It means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes -$<a NJ ces.-s baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal

The upward swing in the cost of living makes
downward swirl in the bank account. That's
a hard, unpleasant, concrete fact. It's tre-
nendousy real; and serious problem in every
American home to-day
That this abnormal imitation of prices is
largely attributable to the upheaval abroad goes
without saying-for we're sending vast quantities
of foodstuffs the seas: But, back of all this
lies the broad field of opportunity for atrocious
selfishness and the greed for gain-cornering
markets and creating monopolies in the neces-
sites of life
Fix the blame? It's like trying halter on
