Why Dr. Price's Baking Powder is
. Superior to all others.
No great efforts are made by other manufacturers
to procure and use pure materials.
It 'is true that one other company has the facilities,
but its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use
ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence the Price
Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for a pure
baking powder.
No other article of human food receives greater care
in its production, or has attained higher perfection. Dr.
Price's Cream is surely a perfect baking powder. Free from
" every taint of impurity. No other article used in the
kitchen has so many steadfast friends among the house
wives of America.

CASE OF SHIPWRECK.
A General Idea of the Workings of
the
Life Saving Service A Caution.
In a lew words Lieut. C. H. McLeilan,
of the revenue marine, in his part of the
report entitled "Instructions to Mariners
In Case of Shipwreck," gives a good gen
eral idea of tho workings of the service. I
quote from him, leaving out such sen
tences as would not interest the general
public:
"All stations on the Atlantic coast, from
the eastern extremity of tb.3 state of
Maine to Cape Fear, N C., are manned
annually by crews of experienced surf
men from Sept. 1 until May 1 following.
Upon the lake coasts the stations are
manned from the opening to the close of
navigation, and upon the Pacific coast
they are open and manned the year round,
with the exception of the stations which
are manned by volunteers. All life sav
ing and lifeboat stations are fully sup
plied with boats, wreck gun, beach appa
ratus and restoratives. Houses of refuge
are supplied with boats, provisions and
restoratives, but not manned with crews;
a keeper, however, , resides in each
throughout the year, who, after every
storm, is required to make extended ex
cursions along the coast, with a view of
ascertaining whether any shipwreck has
occurred, and finding and succoring any
persons who may have been cast ashore.
Houses of refuge are situated exclusively
upon the Florida coast, where the re
quirements of relief are widely different
from those of any other portion of the sea
board. Most of the life saving and life
boat stations are provided with the inter
national code of signals; and vessels can,
by communication, be reported or obtain
the latitude or longitude of the station,
Information as to the weather proba
bilities; or, if crippled or disabled, a
steam tug or revenue cutter will be tele
graphed for, where facilities exist, if re
quested. "All services are performed by the life
saving crews without other compensation
than their wages from the government,
though, in view of the meagerness of
their pay, they are not prohibited from
receiving such rewards for labor per
formed or risks incurred at wrecks as
owners or masters of vessels or other per
sons may see fit to voluntarily bestow
upon them, but they are strictly forbidden
to solicit such rewards.
"Destitutj seafarers are provided with
food and lodgings at the nearest station
hvrhp ','vrnTnpTlt-"--,
xratc-oS net oarny
the
circumstances of ship-
wreck. '
"The station crews patrol the beach
from two to four miles each side of their
station? four times between sunset and
sunrise, and if the weather Is foggy the
patrol is continued througn the day.
"Each patrolman carries Coston signals.
Upon discovering a vessel standing into
danger he Ignites one of them, which
emits a brilliant red flame of about two
minutes1 duration, to warn her off, or
should the vessel be ashore, to let her
crew know that tbey are discovered and
assistance is at hand.
"If the vessel is not discovered by the
patrol immediately after striking, rockets
or flare up lights should be burned, or if
the weather be foggy, guns should be
fired to attract attention, as the patrol
man may be some distance away on the
Otner end or his beat.
"Masters are particularly cautioned, If
they should be driven ashore anywhere In
the neighborhood of the stations, especi
ally on any of the sandy coasts where
there Is not much danger of vessels break
ing ap immediately, to remain onboard
until assistance arrives, and under no cir
cumstances should they attempt to land
through the surf in their own boats until
the last hope of assistance from the shore
has vanished. Often when comparatively
smooth at sea a dangerous surf is running
which is not perceptible 400 yards off
shore, and the surf, when viewed from a
vessel, never appears as dangerous as it is.
Many lives have been unnecessarily lost
by the crews of stranded vessels being
thus deceived and attempting to land in
the ships' boats." New York Times.
. Joaquin Miller's Funeral File.
Joaquin Miller writes from his summit
home lu California that the Golden Gate
Is his doorway and that San Francisco is
at his feet. This is, of course, no reflec
tion on the size of Joaquin's feet. The
good poet is speaking figuratively. Miller
believes in cremation and has prepared his
own funeral pile. It is on the top of a high
hill. "When death comes," he says, "I
shall be laid on that high heap of wood in
the blankets in which I die. The men
who lay me there will light their cigars
with the same hand that lights the wood
pile and go down to breakfast, while
1, phew! up to God in clouds of smoke."

Changes of temperature are apt to cause
dangerous sickness ; in the full-blooded ap
oplexy is to be feared. When you. have a
pain in the head, feel dizzy, feverish, rheu
matic or sick at the stomach, take at once
three to ten of Bbahdretb's Pills. . Such
slight affections are only the harbingers of
disease or sudden prostration, and the thing
to do is to master the trouble at once. Never
let a little sickness get the better of you.
Drive it out of doors immediately. Let
there be no compromise, always have with
you a box of Bbandbkth's Pills, and you
are prepared to fight the worst form of
sickness in its incipiency. '
It Is only now and then that a man can grow
