The poor powder would cost many times this in doctors' bills. Royal Baking Powder may cost a little more per can, but it insures perfect, wholesome food. In fact, it is more economical in the end, because it goes further in leavening and never spoils the food. Royal Baking Powder used always in making the biscuit and cake saves both health and money.

You cannot, if you value good health, afford to use cheap, low-grade, alum baking pow ders. They are apt to spoil the food; they do endanger the health. All physicians will tell you that alum in food is poisonous! ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. Miss Jones Better. Miaa Lulu Jones, the victim of the Jefferson tragedy, rested well last night, and it is now thought has good prospects of recovery, having passed one critical stage. All that medical skill can do is being done to save her life. Young Vaughn in his con lose ion of the deed declares that he didn't know why he did it. That the imnulse came into bis head and he struck the blow. This ! ia not justified at all by the circum stances, and there is no doubt at all that it was premeaitateu. ic is learueu in at ten days before he placed poison in her lunch at the school house, but fortunate ly it was discovered.

There is some tain of the telephone line extending their system from this city to Jordan, and the people of thftt section have been asked to provide tbe poles for tbis purpose. Our people will probably be aeked to help in the matter of supplying the poles, and we trust that they will seo their way clear to aeaiBt, as the extension of the Hue will mean a good deal for this city.
