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.

Learning to Drive a Motor Car.

"Foresight, correct judgment and self-control are essential qualifications which the motor car driver Should attain,” says R. Crawford, general sales manager The Haynes Automobile Company, pioneer automobile builders of Kokomo, Ind. “If you feel that you lack selfconfidence it is well to have 'someone teach you to drive step by step. In the first place, don’t expect or even try to learn everything at once. Have your instructor take the car to some unfrequented street and then, while he controls the throttle, l,earn to steer while moving along slowly in high gear. “Hold the wheel firmly but not too tight. Don’t try to go in an absolutely straight line; burn the wheel slightly and see for yourself how . sensitive it is by trying to dodge small objects in the road. By practicing in this manenr for sometime you will wear off the nervous feeling and will be surprised at the ease with which a big powerful car may be steered.

"The next step is learing to manipulate the clutch and the gears. Shut off the motor and with the car standing still go through the operation of changing gears time and time again, just as though the car were running. Then, aftdr starting the Tnotor, throw out the clutch pedal, shift the hand lever into first speed position and release the clutch pedal very slowly while your instructor operates the throttle. Repeat this over and over again, see how slowly you can start and stop the car before ever attempting to go into the higher speeds. "Always exercise great care in shifting gears with a 'hand shift lever. Be sure that the clutch pedal is in its downmost position before moving the lever. On the other hand, when going from one speed to another don’t wait too long as the car will lose its momentum. "Drive slowly and cautiously when learning. Keep the hand throttld set for slow speed and practice using the foot accelerator. Always get the car well under way before changing to a higher gear. In case it is found necessary to shift back to second or, low when ascending a hili don’t wait tdb long. The lokver speeds are for a purpose, don’t hesitate to use them if the motor begins labor. Retard the spark when ascending a hill.”
