Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar 100 Per Cent Bread made with phosphate powdert w 681 Per Cent. Digested! Bread made with alum powdert 67 Per Cent Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the digestion of the food made from Jhexn: Undigested "food is not is the source of very many with Miss Mabel Boardman, of the American Red Cross, and the Gover nor.

After drinking for many months muddy water. Reidsvllle neoDle m now enjoying tjhe luxury of nice. clean, filtered water from Trou blesonite ereek. It is as ck-ar a crystal and is soft and palatable. ne new filtering plant Is work ing satisfactorily in every detail. The electric pumps respond Prompt ly to the touch of a button at any niiniute and the filtering apparatus clears the water from all! Impurities. The supply is abundant and the ca pacity of the plant sufficient for tho need8 of the city for many years to come. The new water is indeed a lux ury and is doubly appreciated by our people after using an inferior article of uncertain quantity for a long while,' To Mr. W. J. Irvin, whto for the past two years has been the chair man of the water and light com mute, is perhaps due the greatest credit for the inception and execu tion of this necessity.: It has for several years been his one hobby to secure for Reidsville an abun dant supply of pure water and he has labored tor it in season and out of season. For several years the water supply here was Inade quate and Mr. Irvin took the posi tion that n)o half way measures should be adepted. From the be ginning he advocated the tapping of Troublesome creek, but many of our citizens ami cflty officials balk ed at the proposition owing to the great cost of the undertaking. But he kept hammering at it and fi nally convinced his associates of the wisdom of the undertaking. The board finally adopted this proposition, a little more than a year ago, and City Engineer E. W. Meyers was Instructed to make plans and specifications accordingly.- Work was begun under Mr. Meyer's supervision last June. .A twelve-inxfr pipe line was laid from Troublesome creek, to the new filtering plant on North Scales street,' a distance of 6 1-2 miles. The' water da pumped try two cen trifugal electrcally ariven pumps of a capacity of 400 gallons each per min(jte, the Pressing of a button at the city powier house starting the' pumps to work.

The wate" Is first pumped into a receiving tank or settlWing basin which has a ca pacity of 125.000 gaftons.. It then passes through a modern filterer which makes the water '98 per cent pure and ; into the clear water basin or reservoir having a capacity of &00.000 gallons. The water Is then pumped into the city mains, as needed, by steam puMpB. Steam is conveyed to the pumps through a pipe underneath the street from the city power plant. The system is modera and uP-to-date In every particular and a credit to Reidsville. Our citizens are Justly proud of It. , ' : i.'Ci I The RmI Reason. 1 MI wonder why that rich young wid ow seemed to really mourn her elderly husband." "She didn't mourn him.
