The Australian was twice defeated in that
Homeric struggle. Yet he beat the Ameri-

him the victory. AS they were seen from
behind, one head dropped, and then tht

The women Know Best.

Much comment has been caused by the
official reports of the United States and
Canadian governments, in which are
presented the evidences of the superior
strength, purity and wholesomeness of
the Royal Baking Powder.
1t is true that the good housewife looks
upon commentators of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder from scientists and official
sources such as these very much like
the gliding of refined gold" Her prac-
tical experience long since taught her in
the most convincing way the great use
fulness and superiority of the Royal
article. A higher proof than this she
does not want and cannot have. Yet it
is pleasant for her to realize that the
facts established by these great COMPETE
tive tests, these scientific examinations
made under direction of the government,
exactly parallel those she had before
worked out in her own common-sense,
practical way.
1t does not appear that any baking
powder, when presented in competition
with the Royal, either at the govern
ment tests or before Worlds Fair juries,
has ever received favor or award over the
Royal or made an equal showing in
purity, strength or wholesomeness.

DIR. G. HI. Stansbury.
Our representative has made careful
investigation of the III. E. Spaulding case
at Longview which is here published for
the first time, and which will be read
with great interest by medical men
everywhere. In reply to the Christian
Aduocate's questions Mr.. Spaulding said !:

tism in my left side from my hip down.
1t came on slow but sure, and in few
months l lost control entirely of that
member; it was Just the same as If it
was paralyzed; l was totally unable to
move out of my room for a year and q
half, six months OF which time | was
bed-ridden. | tried every remedy sug-
gested, and had regular physicians in
constant attendance on me. | was
bundled up and sent to Hot Springs,
where | spent three months under the
treatment of the most eminent special
lists, all of which did me no good, and |
came back from the springs in worse
condition than when / went. came
home, and laid fiat ON my back and suf-
fered the most excruciating agonies,
screaming in pain every time anybody
walked across the room, the only ease l
obtained being from the constant use of
opiates. After three months OF this kind
of agony during which time my entire
left leg perished away to the very bone,
nv attention was called to new remedy
called DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People by Mr.. Allison, who is now train
dispatcher at Texarkana, and who was
relieved OF locomotor ataxia of twenty
years duration. At his urgent and re-
peated solicitation ] consented to give
them trial; after taking few doses
began to improve. / continued taking
the pills and kept right on improving
until | was finally cured. My leg is just
the same size now as the other one, and
/ am sure the Pink Pills not only cured
me, but saved my life.
The reporter next visited DR.. G. ii.
Stansbury, graduate of one Of the med
ical schools of Kentucky, and man who
enjoys the confidence of everybody in
Longview. He said: 81 know that Mr..
Spaulding had a terribly severe attack
OF sciatic rheumatism, OF which | tried
to cure him; used everything known to
my profession in vain, and finally rec
commended him to go to Hot Springs,
He came back from the springs worse
than when he went, and thought it was
only matter of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die.
also know that his cure is the direct re-
suit of the use of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills"
..sThat is rather an unusual statement
for regular physician to make, DOCTOR
81 know it is, but fact is fact, and
there are hundreds of people right here
in Longview who know what l say il
the truth. / also know Mr.. Allison, and
know that he was relieved of genuine

The Birrest Fresh water Cargo.

The new steamer Selwyn Eddy, the
largest freight carrier in the world float
ing on fresh water. was loaded recently
for her initial trip. She carries the larg-
est cargo of wheat ever shipped on the
lakes A close estimate places her exact
capacity at 100000 bushels or about 35,-
600 bushels more than the largest cargo
ever carried on the lakes. &c
An ordinary freight car carries about
500 bushels Of wheat, and ,'the Selwyn
Eddy's cargo is equal to 800 carloads.
A train containing 500 cars would be
about two miles long. Twelve engines
would be required to draw such train.
The cargo of the Eddy, if ground into
-four and made into bread, would feed
&c, 600 people for one year.
