ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
some Requirements That WIZ Ne
Found Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa.
BILE, Is bread OF biscuit. And ia make the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail. yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes of
the Royal Baking Powder Company.
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outfitter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opensi II
for use, after all his labor in packing IL
over the long and difficult route, he will
find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled
powder. with no strength and useless.
Such a mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place ii
which to experiment in food, or try to
economize with your stomach. For use
in such a climate. and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country. everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. 1t
is absurd to CONVEX over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost a great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters han the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called "the
father of Alaska after an experience
of years upon the trail. in the camp. and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
I'VE find in Alaska that the Importance
of a proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestimated. A miner with n
can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried all
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. 1t
is stronger, and carries further, but,
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons hat the U.
S. Government in it's relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either on
board ship or in damp climates. and is
the most nightly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
Indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had OF any OF the trading com
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, forthey
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.

BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Feast Tool Place o Miles From
Dawson and Cost xxO,OOO.

Jack Colline. who started for Dawson
City with a band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part OF
his flock for $4,000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on. and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and. received nearly
100000 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for a better market. He killed
the remaining 400 In a sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses oil poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears. wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one. he
located a claim and proceeded to test
it. After he had dug out a few thou
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say. return
" his hiuttOuSs
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
holding a wake over the sheep, and.
imagining Dawson to be only a few
miles away, had started for that city

ropolitan city can afford. Ii proved 10
be about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens. crows, kites,
hawks and other birds of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton. "Where the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered" is
a proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that invitations had been sent
out and a general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region, from
Behring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
OF the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his mex band of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
so large a percentage of them.-Port-
land Oregonian.

The sub-acid fruits, such ns apples,

prunes and apricots, are. perhaps. the
best Of the winter fruits, and may be
used to good advantage with animal
foods.
Acid fruits must at all times be used
most sparingly, especially by persons
inclined to rheumatic troubles. The
continued use of an orange or shnd-
dock before breakfast will diminish the
power of stomach digestion. for which
eason they should be served with
cereals, or such foods us require only
intestinal digestion.

Apples, as a rule, are more easily

is the chief surviving representative Of the
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
in mud il rather a modern innovation. That
is what joseph Medill has been doisg Of
late.
MIR. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno- Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh it's value. He was accom-
panied by hia private physician, a young
Armenian scientist OF high attainments.
The great editor was mud. mummihed daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and Vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno-Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for q
little OF the mud treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be q
regular visitor four times a year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form Of life springs from the

SHE TOOK THE HINT.

Immense Ingenuity.

At home stations the private soldiers
washing is usually done by the married sol
diers' wives. who are expected to seq on
missing buttons and do repairs, for which
a small sum is deducted from the private's
pay.
Pat .McGinnis had a good deal Of trouble
with his laundress; Sunday after Sunday
had his shirt come back with the neck but
ton off, or else hanging by a thread. He
had spoken to her on the subject and she
had promised to see to it, but still the but.
ton was not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday when
the missing button had made him late fol-
parade, and exclaimed:
Bother the woman I'll see If | can't
give her a hint this time, anyhow"
He then took the lid of a tin backing box,
about three inches in diameter, drilled two
holes in it with a fork and sewed IL on TO the
neck OF the shirt that was next to be
washed: When his washing came back he
found that she had taken the hint: she had
made a button hole to fit it.-Detroit Free

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and has used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped.
About one year and six months ago he read
N this paper Of a case somewhat similar 10
his which was cured by DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes. the
pains entirely disappeared, the dizziness left
him, and he has now for over a year been
entirely free from all his former trouble and
enjoys better health than he has had since
his boyhood.
He is loud in his praise of DR.. Williams

~corroborate the above statements. His post

mean anything. The United States
has no reason to recall Gen. Lee. He
is the right man for the place. In
every instance he has done his duty
we'll. He has kept cool under all cir
cumstances. 1t has been hard place
to put a man. Doubtless there are
men in the country that would ill the
place as we'll as Lee does, but it is
hard to conceive of one that would
fill it better, or meet the questions of
the hour more fearlessly. There has
been no reason at any time for a
change, and there is none now. If the
Spanish authorities don't like his
presence there they will have to send
him home as the president has en-
phatically signitied that he will not
tell him to come home. 1t is claimed
from Washington that the action Of
the president in the Lee incident and
in the refusal to the Spanish request
to send supplies to the starving Gu
bans in private vessels instead of war
vessels, is really a.step toward armed
intervention. Whether this will so
prove, the next few days will in all
likelihood reveal.
