ARE YOU TO LIVE in ALAsKA7
Some Requirements That Will De Found
Indispensable.

.
Indisponssble.
The universal article Of diet in that
country. depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses 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 satisfactorily.
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 out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it., and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find solid caked mass
or lot of spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment 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 sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years Upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind of
supply, says: eve find in Alaska that
the Importance of proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with 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 the Royal 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
of the arctic region
It is for the same reasons that the
United States 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 highly concentrated and eff
cient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
It can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt Of
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
of the other brands Of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
cause of great disappointment and
trouble.

A BENEFAcrREss. KIND ACT.

From the Eventng Neacs, Detroit, Mich.
Mrs. John Tansey, of 1870 Baker Street,
Detroit. Michigan, is one of those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is mother
to those in distress. To a reporter she said:
II am the mother of ten children and
have raised eight of them. Several years
ago we had serious time with mydaughter,
which began when she was about sixteen
years old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed to gradually waste away.
Having never had any consumption in our
family, as we come Of good old Irish and
Scotch stock, we did not think it was that.
Our doctor called the disease by an odd
name which, as afterward learned, meant
lack of blood.
