on one thing, if on no other. They all prohibit
the sale of alum baking powders.
There must be a good reason for this.
It is because alum was found to be un

Royal Baking Powder is made of cream
of tartar, derived from grapes, a natural
food product, and contains no alum nor
other questionable ingredients.

Some people don't seem to know
where to find the HILL STORE. The
Hill Store is in the same old place OP
POSITE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. It
is much larger than it used to be, and
is still growing. More new goods are
coming in each week, and it will pay
you to hunt up the HILL STORE
when you come to town and you will
go home and say, what a great many
have already said, "My, we didn't
think you had such a store as this."
DON'T FORGET THE HILL STORE.
The store that is making it possible
for you to save money.
Rest room. Toilet, Telephone, and
a place to write to your friends if you
