order to become a candidate. All that
is necessary is to be nominated by
means of a nomination blank which ap
pears in each issue of the paper.
LOOK FOR IT. Anyone may nomi

"j The Difference.
What is the difference between high
grade and low grade baking powders?
All baking powders are white and are
sold in round cans with bright labels.
They look alike, but in contents they
are very different.
High grade baking powders are made
of pure cream of tartar derived from
grapes. They are healthful and eco
nomical to use.
Low-grade baking powders are made
of alum, an astringent mineral acid,
Before the Pute Food Law only "a
chemist 'could tell by analysis one from
the other.
But now baking powders have the
ingredients printed on the back of the
label. By reading the label the house
keeper knows the ingredients and be
ing careful of the welfare of her house
hold, avoids the Alum kipd of baking
powder. I
Good baking'powderisone of the
most useful things in the kitchen—and
there is a difference.

He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip

of vegetable extraction, are harmless

This pleasant mixture, if taken reg

The pain and swelling, if any, dimin
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in

many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give peama
nent results, and the above will, no
dubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this

that these drugs are harmless and can
