ABOVE SUSPICION *i Lmm Oiw Article of Food in Evtrydtj Uw Thai Housekeeper! Can Always Depend Upon. In the# t days of wholesale food wdult trntion it i* « satisfaction to know that there are some articles of everyday use that are tree from even the slightest suspicion as to their absolute purity and wholesomenes*. Royal Baking Powder, for instance, is a honsehol i word pretty much the world over, and the article itself has become a ne oessity in thousands ot families. The suioess of this splendid preparation is due t<> thi fact that is exactly what it is represented to be—a pure cream of tartar baking powder That, of course, appeals to every housewife. It secures a light baking with the least amount ot attention and trouble. It can be j count’d upon. But it has a virtue beyond that—it is “absuoltely pure. ’ R >yal Biking Powder contains nothing deleterions. It can be us *d with perfect confidence, and with the certainty that, so far as it is concerned, the baking will be 1 thoroughly wholesome. It has i been subjected to the most search- > 4ng tests, and pronounced free from alum or impurities or chemical in-1 gradients that are harmful to the i system It is therefore pirticu lirlv gratifying to consumers of Roval to know that the baking yiowder which they hare so long been accustomed to using has invariably gone through the official an .lysis not onlv without a reflecti m against it of impurity and unwholesomness, but each time more emphatically endorsed as superior ♦o all the baking powders on the •narket. , dlwl USE TELEPHONE ft It. Train Snow Bound Used Unique Method to Advantage. With two locomotives tn front and two in the rear, the former covered with snow and ice, the Chicago express on the Erie railroad. which left Buffalo yesterday afternoon at two o’clock, arrived at Jamestown St ition at 3 o’clock this afternoon, having been 25 hours in making a run of 70 miles. The train encountered the most severe Know storm of recent years in huge snowdrifts some of which had tiffed «its to a depth of more than 20 feet. Tee unique figure of this anowhmnd train was the inst.allaton of a telepho..e. “In all my < xp'nonce in railroading I never saw anything like it.” said Mr. Tirney, conductor of the Pullman >n of tht train. “Taa snow was so deep it was impossible for pissingers to leave the train. As a joke, someone suggested that he would t< lephone home for something to ent. The suggestion was overheard by a telephone export on board und he left the train, found a lioiaim in tho village ant within wo hours a connection hid baen made. A telephone instrument was set up in une of Pullman cars and passengers were waiting their ttrt to t ilk vith frieo Is from ten titxo hundrel miles awav. The t • tin rem lined in this drift for 15 hours and the telephone serivce h<T’ such an innovation every passenger wanted to use it. The inst.ru n»nt was ooonocrei with the Home Telephone company of this city and the Frontier Telephone company of Buffalo, thus reaching over longdistance independent line'- You could talk from that car as distinctly and easily as you coul I from your office. I tell you it. was great.” The train left Jam oatown t') continue its trip to Chicago this afternoon at the exact time it should have left yesterday West of here the road is in fairly goo I condition —Marion , Ohio, Mirror.
