A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klon-
dixie Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klon-
dixie Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed on
every miner, prospector or trader om.
ind to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the necessity
for providing an adequate and proper
food supply. Whether proc lred in the
States, in the Dominion or at the supply
sto,es here or further on, this must be
his primary concern. Upon the manner
in which the miner has observed or neg
lected this precaution more than upon
any other one thing will his success or
failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is imperative. For
instance, as bread raised with baking
powder must be relied upon for the chief
part of every meal, imagine the helpless.
ness of miner with a can of spoiled
baking powde'. Buy only the very best
flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Ex.
perience has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup.
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. Be sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be neg
lected. They may, of course be supple
mented by as many comforts or delica-
cies as the prospeetor may be able to
pack or desire to pay for.-From the

Quebec in the Royal Templars, ard so popular
is he among the members of the order that in
Montreal there is a Royal Templars council

work, sometimes assisting resident ministers,
sometimes conducting a series of gospel tenn

added that in his present physical condition

But it was not always 80, he said, and then
he gave the writer the following little per-
sonal history. with permission to make it
public. He said that for the past thirteen
years he had been greatly troubled with n
he was unable TO get any relief. At times it
was dull, heavy pain, at others sharp and
severe. Oftentimes 1t rendered him unfit
for his engagements, and at all times it
made it difficult to move His trouble was
always visible to the public and frequently
and doctors had TO be called in to attend
him. This occurred TO him in the YOnge

SENSATIONAL LEAP FOR LIFE
Daring Jump From Cliff to an
Aerful Car.

Daring Jump From Cliff to an
Aerial Car.
a sensational! play dealing with life in
the coal mines contains daring leap for
life scene Twenty feet above the stage
there is cliff. On the opposite side of the
gap is another cliff, not so high as the
first one, and here men are working.
Trolley wires connect this cliff with other
parts of the mine. and small square cars.
such as are used in mines tc carry people
10 its various borrowings, are coming and
going.
The heroine is standing at the edge of
the opposite precipice. She has come there
TO prove that her lover is unjustly accused
of a crime
One of the small cars is crossing on the
wire. In it is her feminine rival. just
as the car reaches the center of the stage a
landslide occurs. and the embankment on
which the heroine stands is seen to shake.
The woman in the ear perceives the dan
ger in which her rival is placed, and at
once, forgetting her enmity, she shouts to
her to Jump for her life.
At this moment the cliff is swept away
in the landslide The heroine jumps and
rival She is hauled into the car and car
ried on to safety.
The car, with the rescuer in it, is moving
nil the time, and the heroine has to jump
20 feet TO land in the hands of her sister.
1t is most dangerous undertaking.
The actress who makes this daily reck-
less leap describes it follows: 1.-The
woman in the car is strapped to it so that
