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

cola, to Honore Palmer, son of Mrs.
Potter Palmer, for $25O,00O, is an
nounced here. The island is one of

agent for the island, and it was to
him that a letter came today an
nouncing the sale. Mr.. Davis said
that property he owned near the is

owned twenty thousand acres near
the island and that he expected fur
ther sales of property to wealthy
northerners to be announced shortly.
1t has been estimated that there are
more than a thousand deer on the
island in addition to all sort of 9TH
er wild game.

GEORGIA PREACHERS BIG
LUCK IN COTTON SPECULATION

Atlanta, Feb. 5.-As a result of
investment of 800 in cotton when
the staple was down to seven cents
the Rev. Stephen D. Cremean, pas
tor of Mount Vernon Southern Meth
odist church in Atlanta, has 100000.
When the bottom fell out Mr..
Cremean put his 500 in cotton,
borrowed all he could on the staple
and bought more. When the cotton
began climbing the pastor kept on
"pyramiding" as heavily as he could
until he held $4,000 worth of the
staple.
The minister now is disposing of
his holdings and proposes to put the
money in a trade school for poor
children.
81 have always wanted to give
poor children a chance by teaching
them a trade" he says, land now
am able to do it.

GREAT CHANGE IN FRENCH
CHARACTER MADE BY WAR

Atlanta, Feb. 5.-W. Philip
sims, former Atlanta newspaper
man, who is now manager of the
Paris branch of the United Press AS
sociation, is in this city visiting rel
atves and friends, and his views of
the great European war, based on
first hand knowledge gained as ac-
credited war correspondent who has
been along the whole front held by
French troops, are among the most
interesting published in Atlanta.
Man of Patriotism
"The most striking thing about
the war;" said Mr.. Sims yesterday,
"is the revelation of French char
acter. Before the war it was the
habit of most people, and especially
of Americans, to regard the French
man as rather temperamental and
volatile, concerned with the little
niceties of life. but the war has dem
onstrated that the Frenchman is
above all else a mana man of
splendid patriotism, bull dog tenac-
ity and courage unsurpassed.
"The French are as confident of
winning the war as they are of the
rising of tomorrow's sun. They have
carefully calculated the many diff
ferent factors that enter into the
contest and have reached the con-
clusion that in the end they and
their allies are bound to win. They
believe the measure of the German
has been taken, and that when the
proper times comes to launch
great offensive they will blast the
Germans out of their trenches on the
western front and hurl them back
acress the Rhine.
Now in Army
Every able-bodied man between
the aces of 10 and As years is now
in the army. and this year 100000
young men, just turned military
age, will be mustered in. Already
they are perfectly trained soldiers in
the pink of condition.
Back of the fighting line every
man exempt from military service
and every woman and every child is
absolutely wrapped up in the cause
for which France is fighting. The re-
sources of the whole nation are con-

WAR MAKING CROW
INDIANS RICH

Sheridan, Wyo., Feb. 5.-For the
second time within a few years the
Crow Indians are being made veal
thy by British war Thousands and
thousands of dollars of British gold
or its equivalent are flowing into the
Golfers of the tribe, the members of
which are already the wealthiest of
all the Northern tribes. The Crows
are selling off all their horses to the
British government, and if the war
continues a while longer there will
not be horse left on the big reser-
walton. But there will be automo-
biles by the hundred, For as fast as
the Crow gets rid of his horses he
now takes to automobiles.
Some years ago, when the British
were fighting the Beers, the Crows
sold thousands of horses for use by
the British army in South Africa.
In fact, it was said that the Boer
war was won on Crow Indian ponies.
With the proceeds of their sales the
Crows purchased thoroughbred
horses and mares. Now they are SELL
ing horses of this stock to the same
country, and they are investing the
money they receive in automobiles.
During the Boer war the British
were not so particular about the
horses they purchased, AT the pres
ent time their inspectors examine ev-
cry horse very carefully. During the
earlier war the buyers seemed more
careful as to the price they paid for
a horse, consequently the Indian
ponies appealed to them. These
ponies were very light, but strong
and wiry. They could travel all
night and all day and be ready for
work the next night and day.
