Three Leading Scientists
Proclaim the Superior Value of
Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
Scientists are devoting closer attention to food products.
Recent examinations of baking powders by Prof. Ldng, Dr.
Haines, and Prof. Prescott, were made to determine which
powder was the purest, highest in leavening strength, most
efficient in service, and most economical in cost. They
decide that Dr. Price's Cream faking Powder excels In all
the essentials of an ideal preparation for household use.
They write:
"Chicago, March a8th, 1894.
We have purchased in the open market cans of Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder and also of the other leading brands
of baking powders, and have submitted them to chemical '
analysis. We find that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is
a pure cream of tartar powder, that is has a considerably
greater leavening strength than any of the other baking
powders we have ever tested.

PORTLAND, Dec. 25.-Goverror
Penuoyt-r remembered President Cleve
land today by sending biui the fol
lowing letter:
"Christmas has again visited oar
stricken land with Its prostrated In
dustries aud Its Idle throngs, willing
but unable to work aud unwillingly
forced to beg or suffer. Your panacea,"
a change In the Sherman law and the
tariff have been administered but
there is no change in tbe sad condition
of our unfortunate country.
"After two year of ruinous delay
and mismanagement you have, thank
heaven, at last discovered the real
trouble, although you have not pro
posed proH-r remedy. As you now
concede, the country need more mon
ey, but it does not want the worthless
muff you proffer. It needs gold and
sliver money with which to pay debts,
and It does not want bank rags with
which it cannot pay debts.
"Sixty years vago th deuKtcraJJc
party bad a president who defied the
banks In tbe Interest of the people.
Has it now a president who defies .
tbe people In the Interest of the
bank?
"All traditions of th party which
elected you are for gold and Oliver
money and against bank currency. Do
you aspire to furnish an example of
treason to the cause entrusted to your
care which will be without any par
allel, except one In all the annals of
American history?
"Your party In both houses favors
tho restoration of sliver as a standard
money, tbe people who are actually
suffering from the existing prostration
of business favor It, and will you not
stand with them In overturning the
monometallic policy ot the British
moulcd oligarchy which Is fast degrad
ing our fair country to the condition
of a subjugated province and our
hitherto free people to a condition of
financial serfdom?
"Afwnyw remembering- the unem
ployed multitudes nil over our broad
land. I pray that God may give yon
light and strength to do the right"
