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 q 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.

Ice Caused Ugly Fall.

Miss Sallie Mcdonald is a
daughterofWilliamM who
several years ago lived on the F.
Men. Johnston farm south of
town, and she has many friends,
on this side of the mountain.
Miss Mcdonald is now a dress
maker and has rooms on the Sec
ond floor of the Aughinbaugh
building in Chambersburg. Last
Thursday evening she stepped
out onto the second-foor porch to
shake a rug. The sleet had caus-
ed the porch to be covered with
a sheet of ice, and as Miss Nc
Donald gave the rug a shake her
feet slipped, she lost her balance
fell against the balustrade which
gave away causing Miss McDon-
aid to fall headlong into a pile of
lumber in the yard below. Mrs.
Mitten who has a store on the
first floor under Miss McDonald's
rooms, heard the noise, went in
to the yard and found Miss Nc
Donald terribly injured by the
fall. Three doctors were sum-
moned and the injured lady has,
tened to the Chambersburg hos
pital, where she is resting COM
fortably, with a fair prospect of
recovery.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, April 12.-(Special. .)-"Do you know, this is my first visit to New York city?" said T. H. Brown, of "dear old Morgan county
 Well, one never would have suspected it, really He stepped right on the third rail'' of the surface car tracks without any effort to avoid it, didn't try to run across the street a single time Ca sure sign of newness here), and even bought ing it dope or getting confused as tc the method of paying for the drink.

 T like it so we'll that shall be really happy when feel the train pumping over the Mason and Dixon line once more"
 Why, what's the matter with New York?"
 ''The city is so big. in every way, thai it absolutely kills enthusiasm was tho somewhat surprising answer.
 What do you mean, kills it?"
 Let me explain: Last night I went to the circus, Barnum & Bailey's. al Madison Square Garden. There was good crowd, as there seems to be every. where here. but there was no circus at mosphere. The fellow next to me and all those near me, seemed to be in an i'll temper. They were looking hard at what they had paid to see, but seemed uncon- scious that others were present, ana

ward part of the ship to be torn away
 to the bridge. The entire forward part of the Sussex was torn away
 In spite of the fact that the Sussex
 is the chief case now being considered,
 officials made 1t plain that the next step
 of the United States would rest on the accumulation of evidence that American lives were constantly being placed in
 jeopardy in violation of their rights.
 EVIDENCE DIFFERENT
 The contentious of the German govern
 ment in regard to the attack on the Ber-
 windvale do not agree with the evidence received by the state department. It Is known that at least one of the sur- vivors made the statement that the ves-
 sel was torpedoed without warning. It is understood also there is a conflict be-
 tween evidence here and German versions
 in the cases of Englshmen. Germany
 contends that the ship was sunk, After the German commander had convinced
 himself that the crew had taken to the
 boats and had been removed from the ship.' The state department has al- lowed it to become known that evidence
 in it's possession indicates that the ship had not come to a stop when the death blow was inflicted
 Germanys statement in regard to the Manchester Engineer are not conclusive. Reports to the state department say the vessel was torpedoed without warning. 1 Reports to the department regardine 1 the Eagle Point are to the effect that the vessel received "ample warning be- fore being sunk. However, Joseph Glea- son of Boston, a survivor, made a depo- sition to the American consul at Queens town that he and 21 other members of the crew were set adrift in water logged lifeboat and drifted for seven hours in heavy seas that threatened to send their boat to the bottom al
 any moment. Furthermore the evidence indicates that at the time the passen- gers aboard the ship were forced to abandon the ship she was more than 100 miles from shore.
 Germany agreed with the United States in correspondence relating to the sink ing of the American steamer William F. Frye, that time should be given the crew to abandon the ship about to be sunk. Germany's declaration of readiness to have the facts of the Sussex case es- l tablished through mixed commission, 1 fin the event of difference of opinion" was commented upon by high officials as being ''very interesting" He declined at this time to discuss the proposal fur | ther in the absence of the official text o1 ! the note. However, the United States has since the beginning of the war in Europe declined suggestions to arbitrate
 such matters
 1 When the possibility of arbitrating the Lusitana case was being discussed last year, the officials said question in- volving American lives' could not be ar. bitrated.

FIRST TRA|NLOAD OF SUPPLIES LEAVES
 JUAREZ FOR FRONT
Sent Under Tentative Agree ment With Carranza Of- ficials-TO Be Sent as
 Ordinary Freight

San Antonio, Tex. April 12.-Gen-
 eral Funston was advised tonight that
 the first trainload of supplies for the American troops in Mexico left Jua- reg late today over the Mexican Gen. tral railroad for Chihuahua under a tentative agreement with Carranza border officials which, if it operates successfully, is expected to alleviate a situation regarded as rapidly becoming acute. Under the arrangement ship ments to the expeditionary force will be handled only as ordinary freight to Chihuahua, from which point it will be distributed to the line of communica- tion of the expeditionary force.
 It was pointed out here that the agreement has yet to secure the formal approval of higher Mexican officials,
 and army officers expressed the opin- ion that much latitude must be al- lowed in making the shipments if the plan is to prove successful as means
 of furnishing General Pershings com
 mand with adequate supplies.
 While the arrang ement would make the task of distributing the foodstuffs easier strategists here declared that it would not allow the expeditionary commander to draw any considerable force from the line of communication to the advance and the need of sending additional forces into Mexico was deemed imperative if the pursuit of Villa is to be continued.
 General Funston was without ad- vices today as to the location of ad- vance columns of the punitive force and none of the dispatches received today gave information as to the where abouts of Villa or the state of his health. In the absence of definite in- formation, General Funston was not
 yet inclined to belittle the report that ha/was dead, but neither did he give credence to the report. It has not been made the subject of a communication 1 to General Pershing, nor has General PersAing mentioned it in any report.

 no one seemed to know that he circus
 was in town. Don't you see? The darn
 town is so big that nothing is an event
 tere any more. Everything, no matter
 how big it is, is accepted as matter of
 course, and no one dares to display any
 enthusiasm over anything, unless it be a
 family matter or social scandal
 'Is it different down in Alabama?" I
 asked him.
 Certainly" he replied. That's why I want to go back. I want to live where a circus is real event, and where when enything big takes place, the people en- thuse over it, talk about it, and enjoy it naturally. And besides, I don't like the general attitude of the people. I don t like being looked upon as a probable crook until have a chance to prove that am not one.''
 MT. Brown was true to life, and was act ing right in line with the majority of
 newcomers. But. though I didn't tell him so, longer stay here would change his mental attitude completely. There is, after all, strange sort of near camara- derie, even in the seemingly cold and crit ica1 attitude of New Workers and there are events here, too. But to Father Knickerbocker's credit, be it said that he, like grand opera, grows on one, the bet ter one understands.
