Absolutely
Pure
Made from Ture Grape Cream of Tartar
In baking powder Royal is the standard, the
powder of highest reputation; found by the
United States Government tests of greatest
strength and purity.
It renders the food more healthful and palat
able and is most economical in practical use.
Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to
buy alum powders because they are "cheap."
Yet some of the cheapest made powders are sold
to consumers at the highest price.
Housekeepers should stop and think. Is it
not better to buy the Royal and take no chances
the powder whose goodness and honesty are never
questioned ?
Is it economy to spoil your digestion by an
alum-phosphate or other adultcred powder to
save a few pennies ?
ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK
For a number of years the Geneva
Experiment Station hai been conduct
itiK a series of tests to determine the
probable effects of aprayiug in blos
som upon the netting fruits. Aided
. lulrufnrv nt.iiriina. it aaemi cer
tain tbat spraying in bloom destroy
some of tbe blossoms, and may in
some seasons seriously lessen tbe orop.
No evidence bas been found to sup
port tbe view 01 some growers torn
tbe spraying actually belps tbe blos
soms to set fruit, but ail points to tbu
contrary belief.
One of the most interesting result of
f ho umrW that has been ancomDlisbed
Is thHt many varieties of fruit are
sterile to their own pollen and need
to be pollinated by other varieties to
set fruit. Important agents in secur
ing cross-fertilization are tbe bees.
Any measure directed to check tbe ac
tivity of these creatures is calculated
to materially aBect tbe setting of
fruit.
Mr. Fred Cyrenlus, of this olty, an
experienced beekeeper, says in regard
in tha unmvlncr of trees that thousands
of lees are annually destroyed by this
process during fruit bloom, much to
the detriment, of the fruit grower as
well as the beekeeper.
It may also be well to know that fur
the protection of tbe bees our state
bas recently passed a law making tbe
spraying while In bloom misde

"From a railroader's point of view,

tbe shovels and two others are being
equipped.

dangerously close to the river. Is said
to be seven feet above the high water

According to the engineers who sur
veyed tho north bank line it will lie
the nearest level of all trunks on the

All jobbing promptly attended to.
I wish to say to all bur old friends and custom
ers' who for so many years came to our shop for
their meats, that it is useless for me to introduce
Wood Bros., our successors, as. their 18 years in
the butcher business in, Wasco county has made
them so widely knovn that an introduction is un
necessary. Being honest, capable business men,
they have the means and ability to rwn a business .
, as it should be run, and in a way that will be b,
credit to our city. .; '
I expect to stay with the new firm for awhile,
and will be glad to see you all at the old stand. I
' will guarantee that you will get just as much meat '
for your money, just as courteous treatment and .
just as prompt service as can be had in the city. '
We will have a full line of everything good to
eat for tho Spring trade. .
