Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
"Do I prefer a pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names 'of tbe ingredients printed
on the label show* whether the kind you
are now using or any brand , new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate. '

A GENERAL UPRISING

20,000 Mexicans In El Paso May Make

seething today with excitement that
portends open hostilities between
the United States and Mexico.
Fearful of an uprising among the
20,000 Mexican residents of this city
or of a covert attack i from across
the border, United fi/tateB troops
were today distributed at strategic
points about the city.
While these forces were march
ing to their vantage places the Ob
regon-Scott confab was unexpected
ly resumed. The conferees were j
together three hours and thirty!
minutes, but still failed to reach a
definite agreement. j
The conference was resumed at
the suggestion of General Obregon,
it Is stated, in an eort to prevent
Immediate hostilities between the
two countries.
Tries to Counteract Reports.
At the conclusion of the meeting
General Scott announced there prob-:
ably would be still another meeting
tomorrow.
To counteract the report that
Monday's meeting ended with ex- 1
presslona of bitterness on both sides
and an ultimatum from Obregon,
General Scott invited the Mexican
official to remain for dinner in his
private car. The invitation was ac
cepted. I
Notwithstanding this new move,
indicative of peace, an authoritative
statement was obtained, that the
| punitive expedition and such addM
I tional forces as may be required j
will remain in northern Mexico un-'
til outrages against Americans have
been avenged and order is restored.
The orders received by GeneraJ
Funston from Secretary of War Ba
ker following the Cabinet meeting
today indicated that the Administra
tion contemplates intervention

Columbus, O., May 12. ? A new
peace movement Is being projected I
by William Jennings Bryan, cleverly I
times to come at the time of the
national political conventions.
It is to be a manifesto signed by
1,000 prominent Americans. The Big
natures are to include David Starr
Jordan. Rudolph Spreckles, George
B. * McClellan, and distinguished
statesmen, educators and publicists.
While the opening paragraph will
be aimed directly at President Wil
son, -there Is a strong appeal to the
entire population to lean away from
^ war..
Foods cooked with Cottolene come to the table with
their natural goodness improved with a -better flavor.
Bisctiits shortened with it delight by their taste, their
lightness, their whiteness and their wholesomeness.
Pie crust Shortened with Cottolene has that flaky
goodness which perfects the whole pie.
All foods fried in- it are better-tasting and digestible because
Cottolene does not soak into them. ,
There is no substitute for Cottolene? nothing "just as good."
% '
Try Cottolene ? try it in your biscuits, for example, then in
your other cooking. Arrange with your grocer for a regular
supply. It is packed in pails of various sizes.
