Good Goods, Well Adve rtised.

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company is the largest ad-
vertiser in America. OF course. the
business itself must be an enormous one
to justify so great an expenditure in
publicity. There is no fsllscy more
dangerous than that success can be
gained by advertising an article of
Indifferent merit. But, given an article
of the highest quality like Royal Baking
Powder. which when the house keeper
has once used she finds if she desires the
best food she cannot do without, then
the greatest measure of success is at
tanned by keeping it continuously before
the public. Great merit and good ad
vertising are both essential to make a
product a great success. The Royal
Baking Powder possessing the first, its
proprietors have wisely used the second.
and the result is apparent throughout
the land. The Royal company believe
that there is no medium for Advertising
like the newspapers. since in these
enlightened days everybody reads them.

First Quarterly Meeting.

Monday evening had been announced
for the first quarterly meeting Of the
Van Buren, Commercial League, but
the storm prevented gathering and
it was postponed to Tuesday nj ght.
AS result not as large number OF
members were present as would have
been had the weather Monday evening
been favorable, but more than enough
to make quorum were there.
Secretary Furry's report showed an
encouraging increase OF membership
and neat little sum in the treasury.
The question of improving the roads
leading into town was taken up, after
the transaction of routine business, and
discussion of it occupied good por-
tion of the evening. 1t was decided to
appropriate $50 from the funds in the
treasury for the improvement of the
road from Logtown to the Territory line
and to ask donations from our citizens
for similar amount, which judiciously
applied would make q decided improve
ment.
The question of better hotel and depot
facilities for Van Buren, was also dis
cussed and a committee appointed to
correspond with the railroads regarding
union station to be combined with
hotel Accommodations.
Better sidewalks also claimed share
OF the attention of the members present,
and, on the whole, the meeting WAS
quite profitable one and one that will
pave the way for the material advance
ment of Van Buren,.

BlOod-CleanlnR.

House cleaning is duty in every
well regulated household. People don t
wait until the filth becomes painfully
apparent, but it stands to reason that
in every day use more or less dirt or
dust accumulate. 1t is so with the
human blood. From the enormous var
iety of eatables taken into the stomach.
a quantity of useless material is bound
to accumulate in the blood and clog the
free and wholesome flow in the vessels.
Every person should from time to time
have ''blood cleaning and the best
cleanser and blood purifier is Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. We recommend
them to all our readers.

RObb ed of a Large Sum.

Word comes from Graphic, in the
northwestern part of the county of a
bold highway robbery in which the
victim lost large sum of money.
P. P. Graham, stock buyer living
near Graphic, about II o clock Satur-
day night, just as he was returning
home from attending religious worship,
was held up at his gate and his pockets
rifed Of over $500. He always carried
considerable money with which to make
purchases and on this occasion had on
his person more than usual, fact nc
doubt known to the robbers.
He has no clue to the perpetrators,
but as, only recently store at Graphic
and another at Belmont were broken
into it is supposed the perpetrators in
both cases were the same.
