MARTHA A. HILL was born near New Hol-
land In Pickaway Co.. o.. Sept. 80, 1853. She
was the fourth child in family of six. She
spent the greatest part of her life In Madison
county.
For many years Mrs. Hill was an invalid but
bore her troubles with great fortitude and
patience, and, conscious that she could not re-
cover. longed for release. 1t was her hearts
desire, however, to live to see her daughter
graduate In the London high school. In one
way her prayer was gratifed, but her mind be-
came so beclouded that she hardly realized the
contamination of her wishes.
The writer saw her not long before her DEATH

A LESSON FROM AFRICA.

Some times valuable information
about ourselves comes from unexpected
sources. A leading organ of the Metho.
dist Church contributes the following
interesting note about American baking
powders all the way from Africa.
Rev. Bishop William Taylor. for sew.
eral years Methodist Bishop of Africa,
says that the red label of the Royal Bak.
ing Powder. 30 familiar to every house.
keeper in America. is quite as well
known and the powder as highly priced
in every part of that continent to which
civilization has extended. The Royal
Baking Powder was taken to South
Africa great many years ago by Mrs.
Robinson, missionary. But its use
soon spread beyond the Missions. and it
came to be regarded as necessity by all
classes. 1t was found particularly val
liable in the mines and upon the ranches,
and frequently sold at interior stations
for dollar pound.
Another interesting statement is that
no other baking powder will stand SER
vice in that country. Rev. Ross Taylor,
the agent for African Missions. says:
During the past ten years we have
shipped Royal Baking Powder regularly
to our African Missions, and for the last
four years to the exclusion Of all other
brands. because of the testimony of our
missionaries that it maintains it's
strength, freshness. and purity in the
tropical climate, which others do not.
For instance, the superintendent of our
mission in Angola, work that is fnan-
cially maintained on commercial lines,
reported that he could not hold his
trade with anything else but the Royal.
We are using it 10 forty mission stations
in Africa"

the different baking powders in their
combination and actual practical value.

powder only will give uniform results in

Make the Most of Yourself.

1t Is the duty of every man to make the most
of himself Whatever his capacities may be,
he is sure to find some place where he can be
useful to himself and to others. But he cannot
reach his highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good health without
pure blood. The blood circulates to every
organ and tissue and when 1t is pure. rich and
healthy 1t carries health to the entire system,
but If 1t is impure 1t scatters disease wherever
1t flows. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one true
blood purifier. 1t cures salt rheum. scrofula,
catarrh, dyspepsia and rheumatism because
these diseases have their origin in the blood.

for the day when the law will expire and
permit them to find out for themselves
whether there are more than heretofore.

ply of food plentiful everywhere, the
birds were not driven to the habitations
of man and did not fall into the traps
set by violators Of the laws. In the

and give the hunters better species of
sport. Some reports state that the
young chickens were destroyed by the
rains, but that they we're too big and
old for the mother birds to have another
nesting. Mr.. Bortree, the State War
den. says that his view of the situation
discloses the presence of an immense
amount of game in all parts of Illinois.
