practicable unless the Dutch fall into line, and they dare not do so yet; it is a matter of politics with them. Most of the rubber produced in the Dutch East Indies is grown by farmers; think of the outery in Scotland if it were suggested to the Suottish farmer to halve his out crop. But I was told of one ray of light.

The Dutch are nervous about the probable tax on ten coming into the British Isles which is grown outside the British Empire, and quite a lot of tea is grown in Java. They might use the question of a bargain counter when it comes to a question

HOWDER

Many companies have placed an article before the public selling at a much lower cost to the consumer than ROYAL BAKING POWDER. With ROYAL'S facilities and knowledge in the manufacture of baking powder it would be easy for them to manu- facture a cheap baking powder to sell at an even lower price than others. However ROYAL representatives realize the many advantages in selling a product for wh ich no need be offered, and ROYAL customers will undoubtedly realize the many advantages in buying a product of unquest ionable quality.
