10 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1911 EMDYAL Mom nwmt Economy The manufacturers of Royal Bak ing Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. Royal Baking Powder is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the high est class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is more economical at its price than any other leavening agent, because of the superlative quality and absolute wholesomeness of the food it makes. Mixtures made in imitation of bating powders, but containing alum, are frequently distributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food. In England, France, Germany and some sections of the United States their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a dangerous mineral acid, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

"When the night trains pass through Grants Pass, passengers crane their necks to look at our beautiful paved and lighted streets. "The streets and lights ore a great advertisement to the city, but the Improvement should not Is? allowed to stop, and the people should start right away to continue the Improve ments the coming year. 1 here Is now talk of continuing the bltullthlc pavement up Sixth street for several blocks and also talk of paving resi dent streets.
