A Servant that Never Wastes.

Royal Baking Powder is specially prepared
to retain its strength and freshness under vara-
bic conditions Of temperature and moisture. It
will not lose its leavening strength when the can
is opened, but the last spoonful will be found as
good as the first.
In the use Of other baking powders great
variabeness is found. They are readily affected
by the moisture Of the air, which causes them to
lose strength quickly after the can is opened, so
that even quantities will do uneven work or be
altogether ineffective.
The great keeping property Of the Royal
makes it always reliable and uniform. There is
no other baking powder Or preparation that will
unfailingly render the food so 'iqht, wholesome.
and excellent in every quality.
Royal is servant that never wastes.

A Brilliant Scheme.

If any man wants to make a fortune, lei
him come to Milkville and be washer
woman-that is, provided he can wash
winter underclothes without shrinking
them. There is only one woman in Milk
vile who will wash clothes, and she does
not care continental whether she shrinks
or doesn't t. She's not shrinking old
maid, by a long shot. She shrinks an Or
binary suit of underwear just one size at a
wash. If she gets hold of particularly
good suit, she shrinks them just double
that. 1t caused all the men in town lot
of trouble last year, but this year VIC
worked n scheme on her that was worthy
of Il Talleyrand. AS l am the largest
man in town wear a suit first. Then il
is sent to the wash and when it comes
back turn it over to job Hedson, who is
the next largest man. He in turn sends
it to the wash and turns it over to Sam
Thompson, and so it goes through the
village until it gets to little Bill Clarkson
the smallest man in town. After that ii
is turned over to the children, who wear it
in turn, according to size, and eventually
it clothes the children's dolls.
There are only two things wrong with
this scheme.
One is that little Bill Clarkson won't
begin to wear his winter underclothes UNI
til next July and the other is that have
to pay for all Of them. But we don't any
of us have to wear garments several sizes
smaller than our skins. That u comfort
