The farm house of Mr.. D. c. Wes-
tenhaver, near Arden. about three
and a half miles from this city, was
burned to the ground on Tuesday
morning last The house was occu-
pied by his father, David Weston
haver, and by the family of Mr.
Thomas Brown. 1t was only by a
mere chance that the inmates of the
house escaped being burned to death.
Mrs. Brown had been i'll during the
night and about three O'Clock went
down stairs to get some medicine,
when she smelled smoke and dis
covered the house was on fire. She
Immediately aroused the rest of the
family and they, with a few neigh
bors who had seen the fire and had
gone to their assistance, saved a few
articles of furniture. All the rest of
the property was consumed 1t was
an old log house, and with the strong
wind it burned very rapidly. The
fire is supposed to have originated
from a box of ashes which were placed
on the back porch. The house was
insured for about $3.50.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so while that our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always be
depended upon. They may occa-
sionally take up with some fashion
able novelty put forth with exagger.
ated claims, but are certain to return

 Persons who own and run cattle in unrecnrded brands may think that they have perfect right to do SO, but such is not the case. The stock law makes it the duty of every owner Of live stock to have his brand recorded aud in a subsequent section prescribe a penalty for all violations of the law not other wise provided for. This m kes the act of running cattle in a brand not legally recorded an indict- able offense. Since the provision is clearly for the benefit of stock grow CTS, no one should refuse to comply with it. When the brand book is once completed and published and the benefits of the law become fully ap- parent, the laggards and kickers will begin to appreciate the situation and will then probably be compelled to pay well for brand that Is eligibly to entry in the territorial brand book.

From Pole to Pole.

1t has been referred to as remarka-
BILE that the United States Government,
in fitting out its expedition for the re-
lief of the whalers imprisoned IN the
Arctic Seas, should have selected and
included Royal Baking Powder among
its supplies, and no other.
This is not at all to be wondered at.
The superior quality of the Royal
made its use upon this occasion indis-
pensable. The Royal is the only bak-
ing powder so carefully and perfectly
made that it will keep fresh in all
climates, under variable degrees of
temperature and moisture, during
long sea voyages, etc. 1t is the only
baking powder that will do its work
uniformly and perfectly at the Poles
and under the Equator as we'll as in the
United States.
The Royal is regularly and continu-
ously selected for use at our army
posts, in the navies of this country and
Great Britain and upon fleets of mer-
chant vessels that cover the ocean,
irrespective of the flag they fly. All
this means that the Royal is the best
baking powder for home use also.
1t means that it has qualities peculiar
to itself which make its usefulness be-
yond that possible for any other bak-
ing powder to attain.
