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 a 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
Baking Powder.

Finally two little girls, cousins of the lost girl, came to headquarters and ex- plained that the girl lived with them on Willard street. Even then the strange girl did not recognize her cousins and when taken back to Mill lard street she refused to enter the house unless Officer Wagner accom- panied her. She was finally convinced that she was home.
 Relatives of the girl explained that some time ago she received a severe mental shock which took her memory from her and since that time she is weak k-minded

NEW CATHOLIC CHAPEL?
Rumor Persists Regarding Proposed
 Addition to Churches.

Despite denials from local priests and Bishop Milan of the Hartford dlo- cese, the rumor regarding the build ing of a new Catholic ediflce in this city still persists. At first, the know ing ones declared it would be erected in the western part of the city, but apparently there were no grounds for this rumOr.
 The latest story is to the effect that a chapel will be erected at the corner of East and Rhodes streets, but in quiries at the local parOchial residences brought no definite answer on the project. It is said that Rev. Patrick Daly, pastor of St. Joseph's church had offered to take such chapel un- der the jurisdiction of his church, if a new curate vas allotted to him, but this could not be verified.

 The platform declares in favor of Fa merchant marine through the pur- I stance of a policy which has been eproductivc of ship development prbper legislation, such subvention to be in payment for services actually performed and the vessels to pass under the control of the government In an emergency.
 The platform reaffirmS the Monroe Doctrine, asserting it's necessity for our peace and safety and for the at tainment of our manifest destiny.
 s'We declare in favor of national control of transportation agencies through the interstate commerce commission by a constitutional amend nent, if necessary" says the plat form.
 Favors Litcracy Test The platform declares for restric- tion of immigration through a Iiteracy test, as advocated by organized labor.
 Tn order to meet the views of pro- gtesSiVeS, some of the social justice blanks of the 1912 progressive plat form are incorporated. Among them is a provision favoring the enactment of child labor and wOmen's hour legislation in factories which do an interstate commerce business. The social justice blanks, which by unani- nous consent are omitted from the platform, include the recall and the initiative and referendum.
 Woman Suffrage Endorsed.
 The republican committee on reso- Iutions, by a vote of 26 tC 21 decided to incorporate in the platform a plank endorsing in principle woman suffrage.
 The full committee on resolutions of the republican national convention di& not resume it's work until Il o'clock, when it imme ediately entered upon the consideration, at the Coli scum, of the sub-committee's draft of a platform.
 Much interest centers about the declaration dealing with affairs in Mexico, owing largely to the fact that the members of the sub-commit- tee developed differences on this question. The provision adopted by the subcommittee, in addition to it's Censure of the democratic admins tration of affairs in Mexico. calls for the protection of American lives and property, not on the Mexican border alone, but throughout Mexico
 The platform specifically calls for legislation for protection against child labor and just as specifically de- clares for general workmen's com pensation legislation and for legisla- tspn for the compensation to work men engaged in the federal service There is plank devoted to merchant marine in general terms and another calling for the conservation of Amer- can resources, but the latter is modi- fled so as to require that such con- servation shall not be administered ss to interfere with the utilization of the resources by the people of the country.
