A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
klondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is this
necessity for providing an adequate
and proper food supply. Whether pro-
cured in the States, IN the Dominion,
or at the supply stores here or further
on, this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this pre-
caution more than upon any other
one thing will his success or failure
depend.
These supplies must be healthful
most careful attention in the selec-
ton of foods that will keep unim-
paired Indefinitely urder all the con-
ditions which they will have to en-
counter is imperative. Fer instance,
as bread raised with baking powder
must be relied Upon for tie chief part
of every meal. imagine the helpless
ness of a miner with q can of spoiled
baking powder Buy only the very
best flour; it is the cheapest in the
end. Experience has shown the
Royal Baking Powder to be the most
reliable and the trading companies
now uniformly supply this brand, as
others will not Ike p in this climate.
Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound
and thoroughly cured These are the
absolute necessities rpon which all
must place a chief reliance, and can
under no circumst}nces be neglected
They may, of course, be supplemented
by as many comforts CT delica cies as
the prospector may be able 10 pack or
desire to pay for.-From the Alaska
Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds OF
cookery. which is specially valuable
for use upon The trail or in the camp,
is published by he Royal Baking
Powder Company, Of New York. The
receipts are thoroughly actical, and
the methods are carefully explained,
SO that the inexpeIier ced may, with
its aid readily prepare everything
requisite for a good, Wholesome meal,
or even dainties Il he has the neces-
sary materials. The matter is in conn
pact though dur able fO~m. the whole
book weighing but two ounces. Under
a special arran cement. this book will
be sent free to miners or others who
may desire It. We would recommend
that every one going to the Klondike
procure copy. Address the Royal
Baking Powder Co. New York.
