Each Spoonful has

Is the verdict of every woman who has used Royai
Baking Powder Other baking powders soon
deterorate and lose their strength owing to the
use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking
Powder is so carefully and accurately COM
bounded from the purest materials that it retains
IFS strength for any length of time and the last
spoonful in the can is as good as the first, which
is not true of any other baking powder

Cannot Take the BE.

The chief OF the Kansas City (Mo.)
Fire Department has invented new
bride for horses, the use of waicl
makes it impossible for the horse TO
take the bit between his teeth. 1t has
no bit to take. 1t is arranged with a
strap over the horses nose, aud steel
curb under his jaw in such a way that 5
hard pull on the reins make the animal
very uncomfortable indeed. The new
bride works to perfection, it is said, on
practical test, keeping tie horse per-
fectly under control, while giving hun
the minimum of discomfort. One great
advantage of the con,riyance is that il
enables the animal to eat aud drink ia
comfort without displaying the bride. -

Died From Internal Injuries Caused by
Reing Thrown by Mule.
Sad indeed is the home of Mr..
James D. Cooper, in the twelfth
civil district. Mr.. Cooper started
to town last Saturday, little dream
ing Of the fate which awaited him.
When about one and a half mile
from here his mule became obsti-
nate and Mr.. Cooper was thrown
violently against a small tree. The
injured man was at once taken to
the home Of Mr.. G. A. Cowell, a
short distance away, where he was
kindly cared for until he could be
removed to the home of his broth
er-in-law, Mr.. G. H. Cowell. TWAS
found on examination that several
of his ribs were broken and that he
had probably received serious in.
ternal injuries. Everything posi-
BILE was done for the unfortunate
man, but he died at an early hour
Sunday evening. Mr.. Cooper was
about thirty years of age, an indus
trious citizen, and a member Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Ht
married a daughter Of Mr.. S. I
Presson, who, besides three chill
dren, survives him. The remains
were inferred Monday at Cowell
Chapel Cemetery, in the presenc'
of q host of relatives and sympa
thizing friends.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by the consti-
tutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the GUS
tachian tube When this tube gets infamed you
have rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inlamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
