NYOu Want The Best

A THOUGH you may have had good luck
~ with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk. or soda and cream of tartar you
will have better luck and following directions)
failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants and in the homes of our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-i
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour soggy or husky food; never
spois good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is Indispensable.

Why Heavy Portieres should lie Dis.
cArdcd In summer.

CAtaEuCAs
1t Is the fault Of many Of our rooms
that they are o~verdraped, especially i n
summer. II should be the rule IN eouu-
try houses, rs it is in the city, to dis
pense with all heavy portieres aud thick
hangings in summer, not only because
of moths and flies, that are liable to
ruin any delicate materials, but be-
eause such hanCings are superiuous in
summer. In winter the portieres and
heavy curtains serve to keep out the
cold as well as to furnish the and
make it look luxurious and warm. In
the summer 1t is desirable to catch
every breeze, and il is also desirable to
have the rooms look cool and airy.
Light muslin curtains of the simplest
kind are the drapcrics needed. Elab-
crate lace curtains seem out of place.
and all woolens or heavy tapestries are
certainly unsuitable for the surround
ings. \ semi-transparent portiere or q
hanging Of netting is sometimes sub
for the curtains of the large
door between parlors, a space which is
likely to look bare if left entirely with
put drapery. 1t is a matter of doubt
bed-hangings of every kind
had better be dispensed with or not.
Certainly the half bed-tester now used
loes not shut out air. but it is some
what elaborate and liable to catch dust
n summer. and for that reason it had
better be done away with for the time.
The curtains of q summer bedroom
hould be simple shades if the room is
mall, or sash curtains that soften the
ight but are raised with the sash and
10 not shut ont any air. The most in.
elliyent physicians tell us that nothing
S nor unwholesome than stuffy
.raperies in a sleeping-room, where
hey are liable to hold impurities that
in the atmosphere, and thus be-
ONE the breeding place of disease.

olstered furniture. Such cushions
