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.

why CHANGE GOVERNORS?

Done His Duty, By Fail

Your Governor, the Governor OF
every man, woman and child in
Georgia, is on trial and stands before
the people of state that he has loved
and served for half a century. He
asks that they re-elect him to the
office of Governor, one which for a
year now he has held honestly, fear
lessly and conscientiously; asks them
only to do for him what Democratic
precedent has made a custom in
Georgia-to give to every Governor
four years and which is now advo-
.cated by the majority of the candi-
dates running.
Will you reject a man whose eX-
perience and ability as an able jurist,
and whose long and valuable service
in the legislature amply qualify him
for the position?
Is it wise to substitute now an in
experienced man, one who has never
been tried as Governor, for one who
has consistently devoted every day
for over year to the position?
Can you afford to neglect a man
who has carried on a splendid bust
ness administration, and who, for the
first time in history, had thorough

with the services of a man whose
work on the Western & Atlantic Rail
road Commission makes him best
able to handle the present crisis that
has arisen with respect. to this, the
states greatest asset? o..
Can you afford to help defeat
man who has thus far successfully
fought the L. & MS efforts to destroy
the W. & A. R. R. property? Don't
be deceived about the opposition to
your Governor.
Can you deliberately hurt the man
who established the Georgia School
of Technology and is still Chairman of
the Board of Trustees; who is Trustee
of the University of Georgia (his alma
mater and of the Wesleyan Female
College, and has always been a leader
in Georgia's educational progress?
