Royal Baking Powder í ► Imparts Healthfulness to the Food Royal Baking Powder possesses peculiar quali ties not found in other leavening agents, which arise from the superior fitness,purity andhealth- fulness of its ingredients. Royal Baking Powder leavens the food perfectly by its own inherent power without changing or impairing any of the elements of the flour. Thus the hot-breads, hot-rolls and muffins, and the delicious hot griddle-cakes raised by the Royal Baking Powder are wholesome and digestible, and may be eaten without distress, even by persons of delicate digestion. Alum baking powders are low priced, as alum costs but two cents a pound ; but alum is a corrosive poison and it renders the baking powder dangerous to use in food. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. Should Women Smoke. A Modern Instance. The wonderful advance made in the science of farming during the last few years is one of the best examples of American progressiveness. A little in cident recounted by the Ashtabula (Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic. One evening, a short time ago, a society in Jefferson needed a gallon of cream. The committee called up by telephone the proprietors of a milk farm two miles north of the town, and asked if they could furnish it. The reply was that they could as soon as milking was done. In 30 minutes from the time the call was made, the cream was deliv ered. The milk had been drawn from the cow, put into a separator, the cream extracted and sent to town by a man on a bicycle. A few years ago the committee would have had to send a boy in the afternoon, “yesterday’s milk,” would have had to be skimmed, and if the boy had not treed too many chipmunckB on the way, he might have got back in time for the festival. A In NEW FEATURE the Rock Island Personally ducted Weekly Excursions. Con- Always mindful of the comfort of their patrons, the Great Rock Island route has again come to the front with a new feature in connection with their popular personally conducted weekly excursions. All through tourist cars on their personally conducted excur sions are now provided with the illus trated weekly periodicals, viz.: Life, Puck, Judge, Leslie’s, Harper’s and Illustrated London News, fresh each week, for the free use of their patrons. They are placed in substanital binders, properly marked with name of periodi- eal, etc. This is a distinctive feature of the Rock Island tourist excursions, and will no doubt be much appreciated bv the traveling public. The Rock Islanu excursions are up to date in every par ticular. For full information in regard to Rock Island personally conducted <x- cunions to all points East, write to A. E. Cooper, G. A. P.

She coyly xdmltted to having had seven, but said between her gasps: “They are all now In the cemetery, sir." The agent was sympathetic and con doling. The papers were signed, the keys delivered and the new tenant de parted, wiping her eyes, while her shoulders heaved with woe.
