If You Want The Best

LTHOUGH you may have had good luck
n 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)
no 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 invarl-
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
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps OF
alkal in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the oldfashioned methods or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.

A Famous stonmboat Race.

The famous race between the Hanni-
bal City and the Ocean Spray occurred
in 1869. Prior to this. race. the Ocean
Spray had splendid records. The race
was from st. Louis to Keokuk. The
early part of the race was very close,
and the excitement was intense. When
nearing Bissell's point, the Ocean Spray
found the Hannibal City passing her.
The mate on the Oceans Spray, one Davis,
becoming desperate, ordered the head Of
barrel of turpentine to be knocked in.
His men were then ordered to dip the
wood in this turpentine before putting
1t in the furnace, the object being to
quickly increase the steam pressure.
The Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only 100 pounds of steam, but Davis
thought that by putting another nigger
on the safety valve" he could run the
pressure up to 200 pounds and distance
his rival. In carrying the dripping wood
to the furnace the track became satu-
rated with turpentine, which caught fro
from the open furnace. The flames quick
ly reached the barrel. An attempt was
made to throw the barrel overheard, but
it exploded, and the burning oil being
scattered all around the boat was soon a
mass Of flames.
Scott Matson was captain on the Han
nibal City. He was brave and gener-
GUS man, and in this instance these two
qualities made his name famous. Not
withstanding the imminent danger, he
ran his boat alongside the burning one
and rescued every person on board. Da-
Wis, the mate of the burned boat, was
afterward convicted and sent to the peni-
tentiary for such gross violation Of the
rules Of safety. He was later pardoned.
