Do You Wish
the Finest Bread

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 ightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible 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 a lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the

great loss to society, regardless al relation
ship and the tender ties that bind them to

Of woman. Those who had known her from
her first appearance in society speak Of hcr
as one who scattered life to all about her
and into it infused enjoyment. As friend
she was golden treasure, whose adherence
never waned with the cbb of prosperity. AS
ii wife she seemed to have made a special
study Of dutiful devotion, as il mother there
was distinguishing charm in the manner Of
its manifestation. In health ahe diffused en-.
joyment to all around her-in sickness she was
patient, brave, heroic and resigned. In the
discharge Of her domestic duties nothing es.
capped her vigilance, nor ba fled her energies.
By her kindness and devotion her home WAS
made happy and the idols she honored su-
premely were her husband, her children and
IL sister who were enshrined in the Eden Of
her great heart. Mrs. Lewis was in sort one
among the highest types OF woman.
The SpOler came months ago and she sui-
Tered patiently and without murmuring. So
anxious and determined was she not to mar
/ the enjoyment Of her children while she lived
that she never broke the intelligence to them
of how much she suffered, but always wore
a smiling face.
Q6n dissolution was at mana, couleSslnR
her willingness to depart and her confidence
in her future happiness she summoned the
loved ones to her bedside-calmly bade them
a last adieu and in few hours quietly pass,
ed from Time to enter upon the scenes of a
blissful eternity.

and conduct the business themselves.
Hence they may fairly calculate to
make it profitable. In connection with
the manufacturing of ice, they propose
to erect an additional building to be
used for manufacturing and bottliDg
seltzer water and soda pop which they
will also supply to those who may de-
