Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has
Il vast influence through the digestive
organs upon the measure of health we
enjoy. How important to our present
happiness and future usefulness the
blessing of good health and a sound
constitution are, we can only realize
when we have lost them, and when it
is too late to repair the damage. Not
withstanding these facts, thousands of
persons daily jeopardize not only their
lives. and the healthS and lives of
others, by using articles in the pre-
paration of their food the purity and
healthfulness of which they know
nothing Perhaps a few cents may
have been saved, or it may have been
more convenient to obtain the article
used, and the houSekeeper takes the
responsibility and possibly will never
know the mischief that has been
wrought. PaterfamiliaS may have
spells of headache, the children may
have lost their appetiteS, or look pale;
if so, the true cause is rarely suspected.
The weather. the lack Of outdoor air,
or some other cause, is given, and the
unwholesome, poisonous system of
adulterated food goes on. Next to the
-four. which should be made of good,
sound wheat and not ground too fine,
the Yeast or baking powder, which
furnishes the rising properties, is of
the greatest Importance, and of the
two we prefer baking powder, and
ALWAYS use the Royal. as we thereby
retain the original properties of the
wheat, no fermentation taking place.
The action of the Royal Baking Pow
der upon the dough is simply to swell
it and form little cells through every
part. These cells are filed with car
bonic acid gas, which passes of during
the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
acid. and it is the action of this acid
upon highly carbonized bicarbonate
of soda that generates the gas alluded
to; and these ingredients are so pure
and so perfectly fitted, tested and
adapted to each other, that the action
is mild and permanent, and is con-
tinued during the whole time of bak'
ing, and no residue OF poisonous
ingredient remains to undermine the
health, no heavy biscuits, no SOU
bread. but if directions are followed
every article will be found sweet ano
wholesome.

Death of Mrs, ID, W, Jones,

The Joplin NO. Herald of Tuesday
August 9Th, thus records the death
of Mrs. Emily Dunn Jones, relict of
the late Col. David w. Jones, formerly
prominent citizen of Mineral Point.
The scythe of old " Father Time" has
struck the city. On Sunday last the
corpse of prominent business man
aged 70 years, and resident of Il
years, was laid away in the silent grave.
Yesterday the maternal ancestor of
two honorable business men, aged 65
years, and a nine years resident in the
city, was borne away to her last earth
ly rest. Tomorrow the wife and
mother of time honored merchants
will be conveyed to the tomb.
On Saturday evening, Aug. 4th, Mrs.
Emily Dunn Jones departed this life,
aged IS years, months and Is days.
The funeral services were conducted
at the family residence on Sergeant
avenue, by the Rev. DR.. H. B. Frye,
yesterday morning, and the interment
at the Joplin cemetery, attended by
relatives and numerous friends. She
who was born at Merthyr Tidvil South
Wales. When he emigrated to this
| country he settled in Wisconsin, and
hOnOrably filled important offices, one
of which, that of Secretary of State,
he held for 4 years. He married Miss
Emily Dunn, of ShepherdSville, Ky,
whose family moved to Texas, and
nine years ago from thence to this city,
where the paternal head of the family
was soon summoned from Time to
Eternity, leaving widow, one
daughter and three sons to mourn their
great loss. The oldest son, Chas.
| Dunn Jones resides in Colorado, and
visited his mother a short time ago,
but was unable to attend the funeral.
The daughter, Miss Alice Jones, and
the other two sons, Edward and Frank
resided with their mother, being un-
married. The two sons resident here
have since their fathers death, been
actively engaged in mercantile pursuits
in the city, and are universally respect
ed in their business as wholesale deal
erS in flour and feed. The mother
now deceased, has suffered the anguish
of bodily affliction for two years past,
but her affection has been allieviated
by the almost unparalleled devotion
of the daughter and two sons, whose
fillial affection was of the most I'M
selfish, untiring character. For -four
weeks last past she grew seriously
worse, her death having been expected
almost daily for week or more.
Miss Lou Jones. of Madison, Wis, a
sister of the late Col. Jones and aunt
of the surviving daughter and sons,
has visited the family in their great
affection for two weeks, and was
| present at the interment

Sad and Sudden Death Of Major John
CIOWney,

At about three o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, as Major John Clowney
was sitting on railing on the landing

George Hartley, ST., was sitting near
him when he fell, and summoning
assistance had Mr.. CloWney carried in
