Do You Wish

4 1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders.
The Purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

The origin Of The custom OF burying
people with their heads TO the west
is unknown. From ages back races in
all parts OF the world have buried their
dead with their heads to the west; not
invariably. however but with great
uniformity. Probably the remote or
igin lies in the belief OF an immortal
ity and a resurrection, typifed by the
return Of the sun every morning. Inc
dead are buried SO that when the time
comes they may face the sun. which
will wake them. The first pastor OF
the church al EasihamDton n. u. II
may De remarked. directed that he
should be buried with mis- head 10 the
east so that at the resurrection he
might face his congregation; but so
general is the custom of Durying them
with the head to the west that this di-
rection is noted as an instance Of the
minister's eccentricity.
