A Distinctive Reason
What is the chief reason for the superi-
ority of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Dr. Price's from
other baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Dr. Price's Baking Powder is
made hom cream of tartar, which comes
from grapes. This means a healthful fruit
origin. It means natural food as distin-
guished from mineral substitutes used in
other baking powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in

Sincercly, the Dort is superior
to other moderate priced cars End better
than most cars priced three hundred dollir3 higher.
And this superiority is recognized by knowing
notorisis everywhere. Proved correctness of design, ab-
solute honesty m construction and r^atenals, the unquert-
ionsble smartness of its lines, the unparalleled satisfactory
performance, have won for the Dort a wide precise.
You, too, will recognize Dort superiority once yoc

Did you resolve to perform some act
this year for the permantnt improve-
ment of our city?
Have you planned for more efficien-
cy and less waste this year? It will

Take a retrospective view of your
labors of the past year; then be sure
you profit by experience, and do not
the same mistake twice.
We most produce a little better pro-
duct, and a little better grade this
year thnn last, else we are failures,
and know not the meaning of real pro-
gress.
Let us be determined to erect some
monument of lasting improvement
during the year ninteen seventeen; to
add fixtures of permanent value to
the home or farm, to make it a better,
a pleasunter, or a more valuable place.
Of all the princes and potentates,
kings, queens, and lords of the earth,
the Horse, the Cow, the Pig and the
Hen are the chiefest and mightiest.
They are each man's joint partners
in securing the needs of life and the
luxuries necessary to his pleusure.
They are the salt of existence, the
leaven cf life and tow lines of pros-
perity. Strike them from the face of
the earth and famine and suffering
would envelope all nations. Care for
them, treat them kindly, and they will
bring prosperity and plenty into any
abode where intelligence and industry
are joined in endeavor.
