Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the Government reports, with pretended analyserand certificates, wherein an attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown by the Government chemists and others. As to whether any of these baking powaers c equal to the "Royal," the official tests clearly deter mine. When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, to 60 per cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of tartar baking pow der and also that it was more perfectly made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome. As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use of the Royal Baking Towder there is an average saving of ovtr one third, besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, biscuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and pal atableadvantages not to be had in the use of the low grade, cheaply made baking powders that contain lime, alum, and other impurities.

I'rop. FlulUmouth Advantage of Plattsmouth. The high chool has been study ing the past, present and tuture of Plattsmouth in their general in struction work. One question was to name the advantages of Platts mouth as a manufacturing center. It thought that the advantages named byIlenry Snyder were the most complete and thinking they wdl be interesting to our readers we produce in full: It is the gateway to the South Platte country. 2. It is on the Missouri river, as suring greni water privileges. 3. It is located by nature so that the best of water-power can be se cured from the Platte river. 4. It is located on two trunk line rail roads, the C. H. & O. and M, P. tints securing the best of shipping facilities, 5. It is in direct and close con nection with the great coal-fields of Missouri, thus securing cheap fuel. 5. It has plenty of cheap land thatcan be secured for manufac turing purposes. 7. It has an energetic class of businessmen, who are willing to give time and money to secure manufacturing institutions. 8. It is not influenced by labor unions and will thus avoid all troubles on account of strikes. 0. It has an endless supply of lime-stone for building purposes and for the making of lime. 10. It has a never-ending supply of clay for the manufacture of tile and brick, and two extensive brick yards. 11. It is the center of the best fruitgrowing section of the state, mid needs a copper-shop to prepare for the shipment of fruit. 12. It is in the center of the best stock country in the world and needs a packing establishment. IX It is by nature the distribut ing and collecting center to the South Platte country, which can raise the best sugar-beet in the world; so a beet-sugar factory would be an excellent investment. 14. It is the market for endless quantities of straw and flax, which would insure a properous paper mill. l.r It is the market for a never failintr potato and corn crop, so that a starch factory would be paying investment. 111. It is surrounded by one of the best wheat and oats regions in the world, so that a cracker and oat meal factory would not fail to pros per. 17. It has an excellent system of water works which secures against lire and supplies an endless imountof pure water for private and manufacturing purposes, 18. It is located in a pocket form ed by the Platte and Missouri rivers which protects it from severe storms, making a climate unsur passed by any city iu the world. 10. It has ti natural drainage and an extensive system of sewerage which insures a good sanitary con dition and good health. 20.

It lias tne uest Hotel accom modations of any city of its size in the west. 23. It is the county seat' of Cass county and a new $80,000 court house is now being constructed 23. It has all the improvements of a modern Jcity of 10,000 inhabit ants and has more natural advan tage for becoming a great manu facturing city than Omaha. Any nianufacturing'establishment that would be a profitable investment in Omaha would pay much better if located in Plattsmouth. Capital ists seeking profitable investments in the great west will do well to ad dress. He.NKY E. SXYIU-K", Plattsmouth, Neb.
