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.

SIZING UP OUR COUNTRY.
Definite Information Wanted As to
Men and Munitions.

Washington, March 5.-The War
department, determined to be pre-
pared for any eventualjty, has order
ed a countrywide inquiry to ascer-
tain how many men of military en-
pcrience would be available for COM
missions in the army should their
services be needed This inquiry has
been directed first to all commission
cd officers who saw service in the
Spanish war. Each has been asked
| whether he can be depended to re-
turn to the colors should his ooun-
try call him.
In addition, inquiries have been
sent to all Of those who informally
offered their services to the United
States when the Mexican situation
was most acute about two years ago.
At that time the War Department
looked up and listed vast number
OF engineers and other technical ex-
perts whose services would be inval-
uable in war. TO all the inquiry has
been renewed and each has been
asked to inform the War Depart
ment whether the tender Of services
made in the former Mexican crisis
holds good at present.
AS a further means Of increasing
the commissioned personnel OF the
| ment Is making a very careful study
Of the lists OF those attending the
students military camp and the
business mems S military camps, nota-
bly, that held at Plattsburg, N. Y,
last year. The ratings attained by
all of these participants are being
gone over to show just how many
and what character Of officers could
be commissioned from this source.
The other reliance Of the War De-
partment outside OF the regular army
Is the organized militia and adju-
tants general Of the various States
will report Just what could be- ex-
pectcd from their organizations by
way Of officers and enlisted men.
TO complete this tactical peace
mobilization the experts OF the quar-
termasters corps OF the Wrniy Of the
Ordnance Department are again list
ing the various manufacturing plants
| Of the country to know what their
output of munitions and war. sup
plies probably would be. Last year
| former Secretary Garrison directed
| that such an inquiry be made. TO
get this phase Of the work further in
hand the Commerce and Treasury
Departments have been asked for
| the figures showing just what the ex-
ports of munitions and other war
supplies to- the European belliger-
ents have been. From these reports
| 1T would be possible to deduce just
what the total American output
would be should the United States
| need it's war products to fight its
own battles
