The great success of the Royal Baking
ciscd by its manufacturers to make it en-
tirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the
highest leayening power. All the sci
entlfc knowledge, care and skill, attained
by twenty years practical experience,
are contributed toward this end, and no
pharmaceutical preparation can be dis
pensed with a greater accuracy, precision
and exactness. Every article used is abso-
lutely pure. A number of chemists are em-
ployed to test the strength of each ingre-
dient, so that its exact power and effect in
combination with its co-ngredients, is def
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in the
preparation of the materials used or the
manufacture of the powder. who is not an
expert in his particular branch of the bus
iness. AS a consequence, the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is Of the highest grade of ex-
cellence, always pure, wholesome and un-
form in quality. Each box is exactly like
every other and will retain its powers and
produce the same and the highest lcayening
effect in any climate, at any time. The
Government Chemists, after having an
alyzed all the principal brands in the mar
ket, in their reports placed the Royal Bak-
ing Powder at the head of the list for
strength, purity, and wholesomencss, and
thousands of tests all over the country
hava furthar demonstrated tha foot that II
qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled

Every time we take up our
pen to write about dress-stuffs
we think What can we say of a
storeful of stuffs of every sort
and degree p
1t was hard enough before to
pick out the news but this fall
there is everything here. To
mention any particular dress
stuff seems to imply that every
thing isn't here. When wants
are so various how can we ex-
pect to do anything better than
say you will find whatever you
want at the proper counter,
There's the question of prices,
There are other stores. They
are not asleep, They are be-
tween us and some of you,
They would like you to think
they sell things for less than we,
Now and then they pluck up
courage and do it. Lose money

there is a disease prevailing among the

This is a very troublesome disease and en-
tails n large amount of work to get rid OF
IT, In the first place il has been the usual
custom to remove the sick from the well,
but fl is much better to keep removing the
well from the sick, leaving the sick to the
infected quarters. Give plenty OF pure
water TO walow in and drink. Clean the
pens out once daily and sprinkle well with
chloride of lime. Mix equal parts OF
lowers, sulphur, powdered nitrate potash,
nowdcred chlorate potash, aud to each
iOJ ID. hog give a teaspoontul twice a day
If the hog can eat, the medicine may DC
mixed with tho food.

Mr.. James F. Morse, Vice President Of
the Security Mutual Benefit Society of New

insurance to the amount OF 100000 on
the lives of Ex-senator Arkell and his son,

ance has been placed in the above named

MUM companies the coet would be -four

are among the leading business men of the
country, and their endorsement OF this
method of life insurance will carry weight
in the business community.
The Security Mutual Benefit Society was
organized in 1881, and we learn that the
cost for assessments to member forty

money to tell of it.
Queer Very queer!
Our odd lots and remnants
of dress-stuffs all at one counter,
gathered every day from all
over the store, are a storeful of
dress-stuffs and in more than
one respect they are like the
stock of an ordinary store-in
one they are not.
They are helter-skelter what
you don't want is sure to be
there; a little behindhand, some
of 'em prices way off.
It's one of the busiest parts
of the store. We make money
by losing it there
Northwest of the store.
We meant to print full &C
count Of our winter underwear,
mcrino, wool and silk, mems,
women's and children's. Moth
ing but opportunity to get the
information together has hinder
ed. Weather held off so long
we kept thinking the time
would wait. Now the time will
wait no longer; the store is full
of buyers ; they have got to be
attended to Mr.. Jennings, the
man who carries it all in his
head, can't give day to help
the news-man through and
nothing less will do. We must
let it go.
No loss to us. The store is as
full Of buyers as Of underwear.
What have we to gain by crowd
ing? Nothing. Even now it is
fair to say what lies under the
surface just here: You had bet
ter come tor urgent things
whatever they are that belong
to wintry weather-come in the
early cold mornings before lazy
folks get out.
What is there to come for !?
Whatever you want. Not what
ever you imagine you want.
You often find, when you 60 to
a frst-rate collection ofanything,
no waiter what, that your no
tions are wrong. Things change.
What was good last year is su-
perceded by something better
this year. You had better come
with a general notion and make
it definite after you see what is
here. That is buying intelli-
gently.
We are saying that all the
really wanted things are here.
We have to say this knowing al
most nothing about it. Why
do we have to say it? Because
the man whose business it is to
provide them says they are
here and the people buying
prove it.
And yet we wish we could
set them out in a row in this
paper. You could turn them
over in your mind before COM
ing. You would come half
ready to pick out your things.
1t would shorten your buying,
not make it more.
Nevertheless we'll try to get
at some unexpected items an
other day.
Whatever you imagine you
want in underwear-either that
or something better is here.

SiIas w. McHenry, of Jackson township,
died suddenly last Friday morning at 8
o'clock. He was apparently well and
hearty or Thursday and did a days work
at carpentering. He retired as usual, and
early IN the morning his wife discovered
that there was something wrong with him,
and she aroused the household, and sent
for doctor, but he died before medical
aid could reach him. The funeral took
place on Sunday and was very largely at
tended, at Union church.
Mr.. McHenry was little more than 81
years of age. He was County Commits
sioner from 1876 to 1879, and was faith
full and efficient official. He was a carpen-
ter by trade, though for many years he
taught school, and was a man OF more
than ordinary intelligence. He was son
of the late Absalom McHenry, and a
brother of Lowry, Edward, George, Clin-
tot and Lavina McHenry, and Mrs. B. F
Savage. HIS sudden death while still in
the prime and vigor of life, is a great blow
to his family and to the community in
which he lived.
