The Fact Remains No amount of misrepresentation by the peddlers of alum baking powders, no juggling with chemicals, or pretended analysis, or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of any kind, can change the fact that Royal Baking Powder has been found by the official examinations to be of the highest leavening efficiency, free from alum, and of absolute purity and wholesomeness. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for making finest and most economical food.

K. of P. Golden Jubilee Meeting Largely Attended.

The Golden Jubilee celebration of the Knights of Pythias held in Rensselaer Tuesday, was attended by Knights from all over the Third Indiana Pythian district, and was conceded to be one of the most successful and harmonious gatherings of its character ever held in this part of the state. Every lodge in the district, with the exception of Crown Point, had from 1 to 68 representatives present, and the day was spent ip talks and discussions of lodge work, etc., and in merrymaking. Owing to the fact that other duties necessitated his absence, Mayor Charles G. Spitler, who had been slated to make the speech welcoming the visitors, Rev. W. G. Winn, of the Christian church, spoke in his stead and welcomed the visitors in a very pleasing and eloquent manner. The chief speaker ( of the afternoon was Grand Vice Chancellor Robert Brown, of Frank-, lin, who proved to be a most enter-' taining and instructive speaker. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Brook K. of P. band and orchestra, while Perry Horton, as piano accompanist for the K. of P. male quartette of the local lodge, rendered several appropriate selections. Rex Warner gave a special show at the Rex at 5 p. m., to which all Knights were admitted free as his guests. Following the show, the big feed, prepared by the Pythian Sisters, was served in the armory, where 1250 were seated at the first tables .
