A great deal is heard about women g
occupation and how it can or should
be extended. The o is one occupation
of woman as old as Eden which has
always been productive of good re-
suite, and that is the occupation of
making herself beautiful. 1t might
better be called keeping herself beau
tiful but the fairest other sex will fade
if no proper precaution is taken to
preserve the charms that are her
birthright.
This is especially Tue of the hair
and no better means for it's preserv; :
ton can be sdopted than the use of
the Louisiana Creole Hair Restorer, a
purely vegetable compound which is
not only one of the most elegant hair
dressings that can be used, but in the
worst cases Of badness will restore
the growth, stop the hair from falling
out and give back the natural color.
Hundreds of certificates from leading
ladies all over the United States at
test it's power to do this and single
bottle will prove its incalculable vir-
tue Ifyour druggist or merchant is
out of it, send to the Mansfield Drug
Company, Memphis, Tenn.

Blooming Grove, this county, appear

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE senate

matters which will be called up in

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 9.-Ex-
Governor Thayer of Nebraska, who
abdicated yesterday in favor of Gov
ernor Boyd, at the request of the
United States supreme court, passed
through this city this morning, en-
route for La Porte, Texas, an ambi-

TO IMPROVE COOKING RECEIPTS.
Useful Information From Some Celebrated
Adopts in Cooking.

AuCpJs III SVuh1uE'
AS matter of useful information, it
may be stated that whenever a cook
ing receipt calls for baking powder,
the "Royal' should be used. The re-
ceipt will be found to work better and
surer, and the bread, biscuit, rolls
cakes, dumplings, crusts, buildings,
cruliers or whatever made, will be
produced sweeter, lighter, finer flaw
ored, more dainty, palatable and
wholesome. Besides, the "Royal" will
GO further, or has greater leavening
power, and is therefore more economi-
cal than any other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream of tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern
cooking and experts do not sanction
this old way. In all such receipts the
Royal Baking Powder should be sub
stituted without fail.
The greatest adopts in the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal
only, and the authors of the most
popular cook books and the teachers
of the most successful cooking schools
with whom the best results are i'm
perative, are careful to impress their
readers and pupils with the import
ance of its exclusive employment.
Marion Harland, whose Common
Sense" cook book is authority in hun
dreds of thousands of American
homes, says she regards the Royal
Baking Powder as the best; since its
introduction into my kitchen 1 have
used no other" Miss Parloa, the
most widely known of our public
lecturers upon the culinary art, says
"The Royal Baking Powder is as good
as any can be; use it with great sat
isfaction;" and the chef of Delmonico's
New York famous restaurant says he
finds the Royal Baking Powder supe-
rior to all other, and recommends it
highly.
The Royal Baking Powder is the
greatest help to perfect cooking of
times, and every receipt re-
quiring a raising ingredient should
it.
