Which Do You Prefer?

It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
do prefer pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am l willing to use baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, nev or old,
that may be offered is genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.

French to Compete
 In Fruit Producing

Paris, June 22.-The Minister of Az ricu1ture has just organized the French fruit industry, both the increase in production and processes of preserv- ing, so as to compete with other fruit producing countries.
 The recent prohibition of the impor- tation of fruit into France called at tention to the fact that, while no coun- try is better adapted to the production of fruits, France consumed annually about 6O,0oO tons more than she pro duced.
 M. Moline, Minister of Agriculture, attributes the heavy importations of fruits into France to the fact that, aside from grapes, apples and pears, the French fruit growers generally have not developed as they might have done their method of canning and pre- serving, and distribution of preserved fruits. The commission just appoint ed will be expected to report upon the favorable localities in France for the building of canning establishments and other ways of furnishing a. quick market to fruit growers in the regions adapted to fruit culture.

went t@ the justice who had tried the
 case and induced him to make the sentence of the convicted man a ridicu-
 lousIy inadequate one. MT. Woods be-
 came Police Commissioner early in
 191; and, in spite of the labor essen
 tial to the really marvellous results he
 has already accomplished in his de-
 partment, he has quietly been giving particular attention to the Black Hand situation, the campaign being under the general direction of Deputy Com missioner Scu11. So successful has been the policy adopted of close sur veillance and quick arrest of these malefactors on the commission of any crime, no matter how trivial, with the detention of witnesses and the ski1lfuI working up' of evidence, that in two years the onerta, or conspiracy of si- fence, once the most effective factor in preventing the convictions in Ital-- ian cases, has practically disappeared from the courts, respectable Italians now carry complaints of the Black Hand to the police of their own ac- cord, and there is comparative peace in the Italian settlements of New York. The same conditions exist in these set dement's elsewhere throughout the country, not only because hundreds of the more active of the Black flanders are in prison, but because the situa- ton in other cities has generally been controlled by leaders in New York. The police measure of Black Hand crime is in the comparative number of arrests for bomb throwing. There were 151 arrests for this crime in 1913, 65 in 1914, 45 in 1915. Up to April, 1916, there have been but three arrests for bomb throwing in this city. The decrease in such crimes as murder, ar son, blackmail, Kidnapping, and ex-. tortion has been approximately on the same scale.

..No NEW ORGANIZATIONS"

"Connecticut has no need of addi- tiona1; military units at present and young men who want to become members of the Connecticut National Guard should. enlist in organizations already. formed" said AdJutant Gen. eral Cole last night, when asked con- corning the formation of a new bat tery of field artillery in Stamford and of the possibility of other companies being formed. '-No new organiza- tions will be accepted now. and there is no need of any, for there is plenty of room for additional recruits in the present National Guard. If young men want to help Connecticut out they should get into the organizations al- ready formed and where there is a need for men. There are six batteries of field artillery, all of which have been called out by President Wilson. and each battery is in need of mem bers. Four of the batteries are at Yale university. one at Stamford and one at Branford. No new military or ganizations in Connecticut will be ac- cepted by the state now.

it prof1tab1e to buy the coins.
 The Chinese government has a law against the exportation of the square hole copper coins which Chinese car ry on strings, but this has been disre- garded by Japanese dealers. The val ue of the copper cash varies greatly in different parts of China. One Chinese copper cent is usually worth ten cop per cash. As the silver dollar is worth about 1855 copper cents, it would be changed into more than 1900 cop per cash, an amount of copper far more valuable at present rates than the gold equivalent of a silver dollar, which is about 50 cents.
