At this season the housekeeper must look
specially after the baking powder.
As she cannot make good cake with bad eggs,
no more can she make cake that is light, delicious
and dainty with inferior baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for the
preparation of the finest food. It imparts that
peculiar lightness, sweetness and flavor noticed in
the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
which expert bakers say is unobtainable by the
use of any other leavening agent.

SETTLER'S CABIN STILL STANDS
Hultt of Lost In 1H3, It belters To

A quarter of a blot-k from tbe I'lntt
County Courthouae lu Montlccllo, III.,
lu the center of a bustling city of 5.000
people atunda a qunlut old log cnblu.
It wus built t hou there were but three
bouses In the town and Is to-day the
home of a woman who moved Into It
while wolves and benrs were plentiful
In the wlldemoas around.
The cabin was built In 113. Aunt
Anna Ilouselniun Uvea In It and It baa
been her home since 18-17. All the
furniture Is the same as when a be
moved In. There Is n bed with cords In
place of a spring tnattreas, an open Dre-

strife and trouble which would certain

place with andirons and a craue for
cooking, all Just as tbe settlers bad
them when Illinois was still a frontier
State.
Mrs. Ilonselman Is as remarkable as
her home. Ninety-five years old, she
still does all the work of the house.
She prepares the meals for herself, two
sons and a grandson and seems as well
and strong us tbe average woman of
50. Her two sons have a fruit farm
Just outside of Montlccllo and could
provide a much better home for their
mother than the cabin, but she wants
to stay where she has lived so long and
so they all live there, In the style of
flfty-flve years ago. Itlch business
blocks have grown up around the
cabin.
Lawyers Barred from These Countries
When Yucatan was first colonized by
the Spaniards Charles V., In the ordin
ance which accompanied the appoint
ment of the first Governor, explicitly
stated that no lawyers were to be per
mitted to land from Spain or anywhere
else. This law was dated 1520. Three
years later an equally stringent pro
vision was made against lawyers be-
"Why, here Is an Item from a West
ern paper which asserts that a recent
local election In Colorado, where, as
you may know, equal suffrage rights
prevail, the tellers found a dozen or
more cookery recipes In a bnllot-box."
"They were voted by mistake, I'm
sure!" returned Mrs. Professor, stoutly.
"They ought to count Just the same.
Tuesday Is an awfully busy day, any
way. And I am Just as sure as I care
to be that when men first began to go
to the pools they made mistakes In the
ticket, too!"
The professor's eyes twinkled behind
bis paper, but ho replied with the per
fect gravity of one who has been thrice
refined In domestic fires, "Without
doubt, my dear."

"Shan't we elope, George?"

tervlew with a representative of the

"In June, 1899. I became bilious and

times and beat Irregularly, and dark
spots seemed to flout before my eyes.
This continued for about six months,
during that time I was troubled with
lameness In my back and pains over
my kidneys, I wus under ft physi
cian's care and he told me my trouble
was biliousness and lnfliunmntory
rheumatism.. I was In bed for over
four weeks and did not seem to be
getting any better.
"One day I saw an advertisement In
which It was stated that a case simi
lar to mlno had been cured by Dr.
William's Pink Pills for Pale People.
I procured some of the pills and with
in two weeks the inflammatory rheu
matism which had become very ac
cute and caused mo the niont Intense
suffering, was entirely cured.
"You will therefore reallne tnat I
am a firm wellever In Dr. William's
Pink Pills. They cured me and I ant
so sure that they will prove equally
valuable In other cases that I havo
recommended them to a great many
people."
