Practical Economy

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

ALL BUT q MEN
FOR
Thirty-three Survivors Of CARR
zal Fight Have Reported to
American Forces.
2AL PERsHING'S HEAD.

GENERAL. PERsHINGS HEAD
QUARTERS, IN THE FIELD, June 25,-
Thirty-three OF the e.ghty-four Ameri-
can officers and men in the Carrizal
fight have either returned to headquar-
tcrs or joined some other command
along the communication lines.
Reports 80 far today account for all
but twcnty-one. assuming that the
Mexican estimates of thirteen dead and
seventeen prisoners are correct:
As the details become known Il is more
apparent that the small American band
was the victim of plot. That they
gave a good account of themselves was
the unanimous testimony of the men
who returned to the United States lines.
The stories of the survivors diner re-
Earding the opening of hostiliyes. One
man Of Troop c. however. who declared
he was in the thick of the fight till
Capt. Charles T. Boyd fell, MORALLY
wouvled, gave the most coherent ac-
count.
Boyd Wounded Twice.
Boyd received bullet through the
arm and another wound through tho
shoulder. but led his men In charge
against some Mexcans behind trenches
across the road which led to the main
portion Of the town.
Boyd was MORALLY wounded just be-
fore he reached the trench.
Then. led by Lieut.. Henry Adair. who
took Boyd's place. Troop c. which had
been at the right Of the line when the
lighting opened. drove the Mexicans
from their shelter and through Car
rial.
The surviving trooper who told this
story said he remained with Boyd until
the captain died. The survivor had no
first-hand knowledge OF what happened
to Adair's gallant band.
Adair was killed.

Morey. on the left OF the line. was at

quest. came out to parley with Captain
Boyd. there appeared to be no strong
Carranzista force on the scene. But
when the parley was still on. clouds of
dust on either flank disclosed the ap-
proach OF the re-enforcements.
Who Fired First Shot?
Who fired the first shot is a debated
point in the stories of the stragglers
who are principally horse-holders and
packers and were In the rear.
Troop Is. under Morey. was forced by
overwhelming numbers to take refuge
In an adobe house from which the
Americans drove a small Mexican de-
tachment. None of the returned men
could give first-hand account Of what
happened after the house was captured.
Morey. who Is missing. was shot
through the shoulder. 1t is considered
possible that Morey and his men fought
their wav through the Mexican lines
and may be trying to get back to tho
American lines.
A triple line of sand filled bags ct
strategic points was noted In the now
system of defenses being thrown UP
around the base here. Other barricade3
and trenches with liberal use OF
barbed wire entanglements gave an
ominous impression.
