BAKING POWDER ROYAL Baking Powder is indispens able to the prepara tion of the finest cake, hot-breads, rolls and muffins. Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to buy other powders because they are " cheap." Housekeepers should stop and think. If such powders are lower priced, are they not inferior ? Is it economy to spoil your digestion to save a few pennies? Alum is used in some bnklng powders be cause it is cheap. It costs but a few cents a pound whereas the chief ingredient in a pure powder costs thirty. I5ut alum is a corrosive poison which, taken in food, acts injuriously upon the stomach, liver and kidneys. ROYAL BAKINQ POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK.

Makes the lightest most delicious and tasty hot biscuit ANNUAL DINNER OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADS Concluded from Pace 3.1 youths should receive some education, or possibly that they should be un educated to a degree. W; have one such with us tonight," said Judge Kelly in introducing Edward D. Sturges, who was to respond to tho toast "Educa tional Influences." "Some men," continued Judge Kelly, "enter politics for spoils, some for the legitimate emoluments, some for honor, some for both the latter. Mr. Sturges has entered politics for the best pur poses, with the noblest motive to puilfy and keep clean the administra tion of Justice." Tho cheers that greeted Mr. Sturges must Indeed have been gratifying to him, even with all the gratifying ex periences he has had of late. Mr. Sturges made an extremely thoughtful address, teeming with sage advice. "I am an unfinished man and you are unfinished young men and young women," he went on to say. "We are continually undergoing a process of moulding. Each of us Is helping to mould the other. Association Is edu cation. "Seek the best possible companion ship. The worst thing In this world Is unsuitable or unsafe companions. Many a man carries all through life some sad cross, as a result of bad com panionship, We all know of the effect of a bad apple In a barrel of good apples. The apples that come In con tact with the bad one may not be made wholly rotten, but In ninety-nine cases In a hundred there will be a rotten speck for the careful housewife to cut away. Choose companions who will help keep you true and pure. SELF-SACRIFICE THE ONLY TRUE LIFE. "Be altruistic. True life is not a sel fish life. Existing for self Is a narrow existence. True education is that which teaches us that we are not to live sole ly for ourselves. The only true life Is the life In which there Is self-sacrifice. "The education that does not Include In it the knowledge and belief that all that is Inspiring, enobling, controll ing, emanates from a higher power, la almost a failure as Is the life strug gle of any man who does not accept the existence of a higher power. Evils are so mnny, temptations so numerous, and the tendency to let things drift on while we take our ease, that unless there Is the abiding belief that one with God makes a majority, there can not be a great success. Infidels never were a success. Man standing alone cannot succeed. "A reference was made to my golns; into politics, nnd that I did not seek office for the spoils. That Is true. I do not want spoils. I want to purify an otllce that has been spoiled. Go into politics, young men. Don't say that you will be pitched and defiled thereby and consequently will not par ticipate in politics. Go in and help purlfv them. Go In and battle i'ar the right. Stand alone rather than stand wrong. "A few months ago half a dozen men got together and lcsolved to puri fy the moral ntmosphere of this :lty They had a feeling of hopelessness nnd despair, but they persevered, otlnaivJ gathered with them in the Ugh, nnd today they feel that there has been a decided change for the better. They are no longer hopeless or despairing. "Go Into politics, young men, and you, young women, when you become wives, Hi not discourage your hus bands from entering politics. It Is as much your duty to participate in poll tics ns it is to help support your family. The country is crying for men. The whole United States called for Roosevelt. "He wob cnlled because he was a brave, fearless, honest man. If I was assured that every young man within my hearing would go Into politics with honest, unselfish motives, I would as sure you that Scranton would be a model city." Another enthusiastic burst of ap plause greeted Mr. Sturges as lis tocf: his rent. WELCOME TO THE CLASS OF 1900. John M. McCourt, news editor of tho Sunday News, was assigned to extend the association's welcomo to tha class of 1000. He did it In a truly eloquent effort. His happy thoughts were dressed In most beautiful diction nnd his delivery wns of that easy, graceful kind that obtnlns with tho finished or ator. It will long be remembered as one of the ablest addi esses that marked n High school banquet. Ho counselled nmong other things that the association expand Its sphere of work and make Us Influence active ly felt In the governnifnt of tbo school, so that Us ndvlce, or, If It nerds be. Its "mailed fist" will be irresistible in preventing mistakes such as have oc curred In tho pnst, nnd powerful In helping In the betterment of tho school's future. "Do pnrtlsan," he went on to say In offering ndvlro to tho new graduatea. "lie not without opinions. Tho world thinks more of a man who believes, says nnd sticks to It that the moon la made of green cheese than a man who has no opinion at all to express, 'f your opinion, is a fallacy, tho attri tion of experience will remove It." John Fnrnhnm Mears, tho honor man of the graduating class, made a response to the welcome, in which he Joined In hoping that the association would become a power for good in the High school, and expressed for himself nnd classmates the gratitude they felt for tho warm welcome that had been extended them. The speechmaklng over, Judge Kelly announced that he had juat been In formed that Miss Chase, for whom they had so warmly cheered and who was beloved and respected by all the High school graduates, was about to leave the city, seriously Impaired !n health, to seek recuperation In an ex tended rest, and he suggested that an expression of sympathy and wcll wlshes from tho association would be appropriate and appreciated, no doubt, by Miss Chase. The suggestion was unanimously adopted, and on motion of Former Principal George Phillips, Judge Kelly was named as a committee to poison nlly convey to Miss Chase tho action o the association. The banquet was then terminated, nnd dancing was enjoyed for several hours. THE BOARD FOR TODAY. Manner in Wlilch D., L. & W. Trains Are Marked.
