A meeting of alumni of the University of Virginia was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

Addresses in favor of the national association were delivered by Mr. W. T. Harris, United States commissioner of education; Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge, Judge A. P. Humphrey of Louisville and Mr. P. F. Pescud. The enthusi- asm shown on all sides speaks well for the future of the new movement. The forming of @ national association was an idea that origi- nated with Mr. Cabell, who is a most loyal alumnus of the university, aud to his efforts is largely due the interest that has been aroused in the project. Among those who were present were: Judge A. P. Humphrey, A. 8. Marye, Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge, Prof. E. T. Fristoe, Reagan, Mr, J. A. Ingley, Alexandria; Mr, E, M. T. N.

Purity and wholesome ness in food compounds are of the utmost importance ; in these qualities Cleveland's excels all other baking powders, All the ingredients are published on the label, and this analysis is verified by Official Reports and Government and State Chemists. Strength in a baking powder means economy. The Official Reports of the United States Government, 1889, Canadian Government, 1889, New Jersey Commission, 1889, and Ohio Food Commission, 1887, prove that Cleveland's is the strongest of all the pure* cream of tartar baking powders. Perfection in results is what housekeepers desire. For making light, digestible bread, flaky biscuit, cake that will keep moist and sweet, delicious pastry, pot-pies, dumplings, etc. Cleveland’ is unsurpassed. s Superior Baking Powder The late Ohio Food Commissioner says “Cleveland's is Absolutely the Best and most desirable baking powder manufactured.” *ammonia or alum powders may occasionally test a trifle higher, but they are dangerous tohealth, and,whatever their strength, they should be avoided. As baking powders adulterated with these injurious ingredients are being palmed off as pure cream of tartar powders, the United States Official Report, 1889, recommends that manufacturers be required by law to use a iabel giving the composition of the powder sold. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_oOCOCOO Have You our “Henry Clay” Hat?
