A Perfect Baking Powder.
The cotisian! growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking iWntr, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is duo to two causes. ' .
FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it pen'ectly pure, uniform in quality, and
of highest raising power.
; SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain ,
ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum.
These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out,
and the consumers are giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists are employed to
test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence;
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques
tioned. 1 '

When the Her, Jamea Archer took charge
of the Loue Zion ouurch he found the oou
gregatlun thereof in a moat demoralized
condition. His prodeoessnr, after making
some lioroic attempt to head off the strayed
theep, had thrown up the sponge and re
tired in disgust.
"Causes depart, but effects remain,
murmured the Rev. James as he sur
veyed the ghastly array of empty benches
to which he hall preached his opsniug ser
mon. Unfortunately It was the cause as
well as the etfeut that remained in Lone

with prayers. As the Lord was expected
to do all the giving, Brother Bangs gener-
'ously requested favors not only for the
members of the oongregatioa, but for all
Jews, pagans, intidels and the sinful world
at large. In a word, he prayed both for
the favorites and the lleld.
Such wns tbestute of affairs when the
Rev. Mr. Archer devoted an entire week
to parochial visiting, and with tears in his
eyes implored the recreant worshipers to
return. "No, sir, no," waa the invariable
reply; "as long as you let that lollow Bangs

Bangs, however, refused to be hushed up.
Despite the minister's entreaties and ex
postulations he continued to practice usury
and religion with the same fervor aud sue

One night during the week a prayer
meeting was in order. Much to the Rev,
James' surprise quite a number of the dis
gruntled memliert attended the services.
During the opeuing hymn a oitisen, at
tracted by the music, strayed in and sub
sided quietly in a rear pew, where he
amused himself staring stupidly around.
Never had Brother Bangs been more im
pressive in his aniens, more fervid in his
singing, more plaiutive in his prayers than
upon this special evening.
Finally in a state of spiritual efferves
cence he rushed out of his pew, caught
hold of the chancel rail, and soared heaven

Each feminine member of the Vanderhllt
family baa her own private fortune. Not
only did each son in marrying settle
handsome amount on his wife, bat when
the late William II. Vanderbilt died he
made a large and specified provision tor
each daughter, grand-daughter and daughter-in-law.
Among the latter the largest
amount went to Mrs. Frederick w. V an
derbilt, who waa his favorite, and among
the former Mrs. beward Webb, who was
his youngest daughter, received the moat
aenerous aum.. To none eveu or the grand
daughters was less than $100,6X10 given, and
in some cases ten times that much.
Even the wee little women, like tiny
Frederika Vanderbilt Webb and little
Oladya Vanderbilt, the youngest daughter
of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, have their
stated allowances, small of course, but a
sense of responsibility Is given the little
folks, and they are allowed to follow their
own baby judgments and desires as to
spending. Upon each one of the ohlldren
is impressed the necessity of giving a part
of their money each month tu onarity, ana
very funny little stories are current among
friends of the family as to their selections
of their beneficiaries. Oddly enough they
do not make many more mistakes than a

It Is true economy for every person to
have several pairs of shoes, and to wear
them alternately. In the nrst place, by so
doing, corns and other soreness of the
members may be to a considerable degree
avoided. These come from continuous
friction or pressure at a certain pout, and
aa no two pairs of shoes "bear" on ths
feet quite alike, the chauge breaks up the
continuity aud obviates or prevents the
unpleasant result, it is also better for the
shoes themselves.
Do not wear them, in ordinary weather,
if the best service is desired, more than
three or tour days or a week at most, be-
give a second thought. Contrast this feel
ing with that of a shoe which has been
