THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1900.
ROYAL
jTie Absolutely Pure
BAKING POWDER
Made from pure, grape cream of tartar.
Cream of tartar is refined and powdered acid
of grapes, the most healthful and pleasant ot all
fruit acids.
Professor Prescott, University of Michigan, says:
"I believe that the acid salts of fruits are the
most wholesome and important constituents of
the food of man. Not all natural substances
are wholesome articles of food, but cream ot
tartar has a high rank as such."
This expensive fruit acid is employed in making
Royal Baking Powder because of its absolute
wholesomeness, and because of its value as a food
substance. Alum would cost but one-tenth as
much.
schools had not bfn appropriated for,
and thnt 12,000 for thn rent of extra
annexes was n Item which could not
be foreseen.
Then there was tl.OiO for extra teach
ers In the High school, and $1,$25 for
desks In thnt building. The Hums of
$500 for fumigating schools: of $32S for
paylns the city controller, and of $783
for extra plumbing at No, 3!". were not,
of course, considered when the appro
priation was made. Mr. May followed
Mr. Evans and among other thlnps
said:
"I am not hoping to change the past,
but I want to go on rei'oid as opposing
this large deficiency of over $SO,000. I
thlnl: 1 have been consistent this past
year In opposing the creation of any
deficiency with tho single exception of
the money for the payment ot the city
controller. I claim here bMfore the
members of this board that there v.na
no necessity for the appearance of wy
deficiency at the end of the year.
"If the expenses of a big corporation
come one dollar over the appropriation
for that year that dollar Is not nl
lowed. I claim tb.it If a corporation
handling $20.000,W or ?.".0,000,M0 can
got along by doing this that a corpor
ation handling 3V,000 can do the
sains. My argument In opposing thess
extra expenditures has alwnv b'.
that If we thought we needed cxtri
money we should have made the levy
large enough, and I hope that tho levy
will be made large enough nest war."
Mr. Olbbonq then replied bi Icily to
Captain May and said'
"It's ensy. as he s:yf, foi n eoipor
atlon spending $20,POO,or.o to keep their
expenses down to that limit, for thete's
one man at tho lrvtd of It. That's the
way tin- captain would IIlc- It her", but
he's got to remember tlu-io's twenty
one of us each with a little voice In
the matter."

A Sale
Of" Hosiery
This simple announcement means more than you think. Two classes of
pcop'e who will appreciate thU unusual show of stockings after it is over
those who took advantage jf it. aud bought, and those who didu't. Those
who buy will b glad they did. Those who did not will wish they had.
Your hosiery may as well bs right as wroug, when it co.its nothing extra for
correctness. It isn't uecessary to say "last black" that's understood in
our hosiery.
Alum, howeer, is a poison, which cannot be used in food
u ithout endangering life. All cheap baking pow ders contain
it. Think of feeding it daily, as the makers of the cheap,
alum powders would, to delicate women and children I
