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 phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

pressed the desire that the Atlantic

He was In favor OF improving navy
yard facilities on the Pacific coast
and he thought the Puget Sound yard
should be better prepared. though he
regarded It as questionable whether
the nation should spend money on
the Mare Island yard.
Wouldn't YOU favor sending a

YES" answered the admiral.
Winslow said that AZ submarines
for the Pacific coast would not be ex-

used. He did not believe that the
Mare Island yard could be developed
into q flrst-class yard, as when 1t
was selected there was no Idea. OF

HAW[EY ASKS THAT MINING STATION
Be ESTABLISHED At GRANTS PASS

which supply OF fiux can be had.
The purpose OF the mining station
would be to bring to that field expert
advice as to smelter construction,
treatment OF ores and modern meth
DDS OF mining. AT one time the for
est service objected to smelter be-
cause OF damage to forests and crops
from fumes of the plant, It. G. Cot
.trell. chief OF the bureau. OF metal
lurgy, is said to have conquered the
fume nuisance and converted 1t into
an asset by making arsenic from the
product OF the smokestacks and at
the same time deriving potash in
merchantable quantity from the re-
fuse OF the furnaces.
Mr.. Hawley Is asking the depart
ment to send DR.. Cottrell to Oregon
and have these processes explained.
He thinks the mining industry will
take on great activity II the mining
station goes In. The ores OF the sec
tion have copper base, but carry
good quantities Of gold and silver.
He has been informed that the de-
partment will not take up the ques-
ton Of location until after congress
at this session has made the stations
themselves a sure thing by appro-
priating the amount authorized for
their construction. The appropria-
tion will be carried as an item OF

BILL WOULD MAKE
TRAVEL ON ARMED
VESSEL ILLEGAL

Washington, Feb. 25.--Immediate-
ly upon the convening of the senate
today, Senator Gore introduced his
bill making It illegal for Americans
to travel upon armed vessels OF the
belligerents during the war, and also
q resolution providing for warning
to them to refrain from such travel.
A resolution by Senator Jones Of
Washington, requesting President
Wilson not to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with any nation and not to
place America In position where
she could not honorably avoid war,
was tabled.
Senator Jones resolution recited
that inasmuch as the honor Of the
nation is not In the custody Of one
man. but In the custody Of the
people, 1t is the presidents duty to
present to congress details OF com
plications that might lead to war be-
fore taking an irretrievable position.
Senator Stone disposed Of discus
sion Of either the Jones or the Gore
measures by insisting upon tabling
them for q day.
Tension marked the senate pro-
ceedings. and Stone twice refused to
allow unanimous consent to discus
sion Of bridge bills, fearing that the
talk might veer to the international
situation.

London. Feb. 25.---Thongh Paris
officially reported today that the yio-
lence OF the German drive against
verdun was diminishing. the Berlin
Official announcement told OF the cap
ture OF SIX more villages. and thous-
ands OF prisoners along an eight-mile
front before the city.
At some points the German crown
princes men are within two miles Of
their coveted goal. Not only have
the French wings been driven back
but the center. too. has been forced
to point within six miles Of the
city.
Il Ia q trail OF blood the Germans
are leaving. Distorted corpses OF the
best fighters OF France and Germany
and thousands OF wounded are the
battles harvest.
Berlin said the French losses had
been particularly heavy and the Ger
mans lost only what might be ex-
pected from the magnitude Of the
struggle.
The Paris communiqne. while
claiming to have checked the Ger
mans tor tho time being" virtually
admitted. as Berlin said, that the
Germans had taken Champ Neuville,
Beaumont, Ornes and the farms and
villages between. including Cottel-
lette. Marmont and Chambrettes.
General Joffre. French commander
in-chief. has taken personal direction
OF the French defense. Paris halls
this enthusiastically. as meaning a
sure turn OF fortune.
The apparent contradiction In the
official statements--Paris telling OF
q check and a lull In the infantry
and artillery battling. and Berlin re-
porting fresh gains---was probably
due to the fact that the Paris state
ment Is later. The Berlin statement
ment probably covered events OF the
early night, after which. as Paris
said, the were no infantry attacks.
In addition TO revealing appalling
losses, Berlin claimed 10000 pris-
oners had already been taken, to-
gether with much booty.

It is contended by that the sporting revival in France is indirectly the result of universal train ing. Certainly the statistics show an advance in the national physical standard How this training helps in all industrial effort has been dwelt on in de- scribing the results in Switzerland and Germany. The same generalizations apply to France. But the real worth of the military work lies in the national spirit developed. The morale of the race, nursed in the camps and barracks, gives today what some gliby call regenerated nation If France is re- generated she has her army to thank for this birth of new life.
 When you the defenders of France in the trenches, where every elment is fighting to break their spirits, and contemplate the insouciance with which they meet the dregs of discomfort, wounds and-death, you realize that her sons are citizen soldiers in the ideal distinctions of the term.
