There is a Real Difference Cream of tartar, derived from grapes, is used in Royal Baking Powder because it is the best and most healthful ingredient known for the purpose. Phosphate and alum, which are de rived from mineral sources, are used in some baking powders, instead of cream of tartar, because they are cheaper. If you have been induced to use baking powders made from alum or phosphate, use Royal Baking Powder instead. You will be pleased with the results and the difference in the quality of the food.

Mr. Peter son of San Francisco relates his experience briefly and happily: July 26, 1916. Gentlemen:—l have used four J bottles of your S. S. S. for bad blood and blotches on the face, and wish to state the blotches have disappeared and I feel much better. Tours truly, E. A. PETERSON, > 25 College Terrace, ! San Francisco, Cal. Mr. Peterson made a practical move when he used S. S. S. for his troubles, for only in S. S. S. could he find purely vegetable roots and herbs properly blended and containing just those qual ities his blood so badly needed to assist it in driving out the im purities and rebuilding its vital ity. As these facts apply to Mr. Peterson, they apply to anybody who is afflicted with blood dis orders. k C^ Pl HOTEL A/?

It as sists Nature in bringing healthy conditions out of disordered blood, which if not corrected may take the form of Rheumatism, Catarrh, Malaria, Eczema, Scrof ula or one of the many kinds of skin diseases.

It Is considered questionable, however, in legal circles as to whether such an appeal will be taken because of the enormous cost that will be Involved. At least a thousand dollars must be spent by the property owners to pre pare the testimony In nook form for the Supreme Court's consideration, It Is said.

LUSITANIA NOTE APPROVAL DENIED State Department Refutes Re ports of Settlement of Long Drawn Out Controversy Washington, D. C., Oct. 18.—Re ports that the German note of Feb ruary 16 for the settlement of the Lusitania case had been accepted by the American Government and was soon to be published by the State De partment caused Acting Secretary of State Polk to authorize the following statement to-day: "The note has not been accepted and is not to be given out. The State Department is not to be drawn into a discussion of this case at this time." The last draft of the Lusitania memorandum which was addressed to Secretary Lansing by Count Von Bernstorff last February, and haa since remained unacted upon, has been published in substance at least twice since it was delivered. Its text never has been given out. It begins by referring to the condi tions prevailing in the war area of the North Sea and states that subma rine warfare around the British Isles was inaugurated by Germany in re taliation for what she considers an "il legal blockade of Germany."

U-Boat War Modified It states further that the method of conducting submarine warfare has been modified out of regard for the long-standing friendship between the United States and Germany and be cause lives of American citizens had been lost. The memorandum states that the killing of Americans was not inten tional because of reprisals must not be directed against others than enemy subjects. These latter terms were substituted for phrases which in cluded the word "illegal" which Ger many was unwilling to incorporate in the memorandum. Then the memorandum expresses regret for the losses of American lives assumes liability for the losses on the Lusitania and offers reparation in the form of indemnity. ' It closes with references to the freedom of the seas and expresses the hope that Ger many may have opportunity to co operate with the United States to bring it about, if possible, before the end of the war. Some time ago the State Depart ment inadvertently conveyed the im pression to the German embassy that it wished to publish the note and in Germanic quarters the inference was drawn that the expected publication indicated its acceptance. So far as officials disclose the status of the case is the same as it was when action on the memorandum was held in abeyance pending developments on how Germany's final promises in the Sussex case were carried out. 7 Suggest National Laws to Standardize "Gas" Output Washington, D. C., Oct. 18.—Na tional legislation to be supported by state laws was suggested by the United States Bureau of Standards to-day as one of the first steps to standardize the country's gasoline output. A system of inspection, either national or state, was proposed, too, as necessary to safe guard the consumer's interest. A statement issued by the bureau told of efforts by government experts to arrive at a successful standardization test and warned state legislative bodies to go slowly in setting tests when the proposed laws cannot receive the at tention of technical experts. Satisfac tory specifications will be hard to find under the best conditions, it is de clared. MRS.MELTON'S LETTER To Tired Worn-out Mothers Jackson.
