Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
uso of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
tho preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength and purity of each
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is
always uniform in its work.

House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that
remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con
tains tho white of eggs.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re- .

Iast Friday being tho S4th of June,
which Is a red-letter day on their calen
dar, the Masonic fraternity met In a
beautiful grove at Lafayette to bavo
piomc, A programme ol exercises bad
been arranged, which Included an ad
drwas by J. 1L N". Bell, of Independence,
vocal music, aud music by the McMinn
vllle bund. The subject of the address
wua a surprise to the order and waa no
leas enjoyed by those not members of
U.u fraternity. The speaker, after a
short introductory, proceeded to confer
the degrees of the myatio order upon
all present, explaining the meaning
and siguillcatlou of each degree as be
went along, Iu this respect the address
was unique, aud Instructions were given
"accordjng to Hoy lc," that were not rec
ognized by some of the brethren pres
ent. The singing by the Lafayette
choir was superb, aa It always is, and
the three or four selections rendered re
oelved'thclr meed of praise. Tbo mu
sic by the band was favorably com
mented on, and In fact all things
worked together hi harmony to make
everybody happy. After a basket din
ner the congregation was called togeth
er again to listen to short talks by lievs.
