Some Requirements That Will Bsi
Found Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and lndispenHa-
BILE, is bread or biscuit And tomake the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be uscd-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 dampnesR
and raise the bread and biscuit satlsfac-
tOrily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to AlaskGand
the Yukon country TO know, for should
he be persuaded by some outftter to
take one Of the cheap brands OF baking
powder, II will cost just as much to-
transport II, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing 10
over the long and difficult route, he Will
find q solid calSed mass or n lot ofspoiledl
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such mistake might lead TO the most
serious results. Alaska Is no place in
which to experiment In food, or try to
economigc 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. IL
Is absurd 10 convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in trUnsit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of its value,
There Is no better guide to follow
in these matters than theadvieeof those
who have gone through similar expert

father Of Alaska" after an experience
of years upon the trail, in the camp, and
In the use OF every kind OF supply sayss

Of n proper kind Of baking powder cam

above all things, it Is the oHIy powder
that win endure the severe climatic
changes Of the Arctic region"
1t Is for the same reasons that 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

will spoil and prove the cause Of great
disappointment and trouble.
