WITH VOTE HALF COUNTED, HE LOOMS AHEAD UN Vfflf BW Less Than" a Cent You may know a woman who has a reputation for making delicious cake, biscuits, who seems to hit it right every time. You may also know a woman, who, no matter how painstaking, can't seem to get the knack of successful baking. Both use the same butter, same eggs, same flour and sugar. What is the difference? Very likely it's all in the baking powder. Undoubtedly the woman with the knack uses Royal Baking Powder, and the unsuccessful woman uses an alum baking powder thinking it cheaper.

Yet the difference in the cost of a whole large cake is less than a cent. It is economy to use MWM mam potiek Alum Absolutely Pure COOKED FOOD SALE The D. A- R. will have a cooked food sale Saturday in the building south of the Citizens' bank. ATTENDED DINNER.

(National News Dispatch) Valparaiso, Nov. 4. Officers of the German cruiser Scharnhorst express belief today that nearly two thousand British officers and sailors have been killed in the naval engagement off Coronell. The British cruiser Monmouth which was sunk, carried 678 officers and men, and the cruiser Good Hope, which is believed to have gone down immediately after the bat tle, carried 900 officers -and men. There were also many killed and wounded on the other British ships.

The battle raged during a hurri cane and no boats could be lowered to pick up the survivors, the German officers said. They also said that the reason the Germans were victorious was because their ordnance was much heavier and their gunnery superior to that of the British. The Ger mans opened fire at 9,000 meters, tut the English preserved their fire until only 6,000 meters distant. The British fought gamely, but their ships were outclassed, every shot fired by the Germans reaching its mark in spite of the fog and rain. Petrograd, Nov.
