''@s'nB Baking Powder

The difference of cost between a good
and a poor baking powder would not
amount for a family's supply to n dol
lar a year. The poor powder would
cause doctors bills many times this.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
the most economical in the end, because
it goes further in leavening and insures
perfect, wholesome food.
Used always in making the biscuit
and cake it saves both health and money.
Made from pure, grape cream Of tartar,
most healthful Of fruit acids.

NorE.-You cannot, if you value good
health, afford to use cheap, low-grade
baking powders. They are mostly, ia
spite OF the pure food laws, made from
alum, which endangers the health, All
physicians will tell you that such oow-
ders in food arc injurious.

tendance and rendered a number OF
appropriate selections before the

a memorial day selection very feel

OF the building were unusually pretty

The Hygiene Of Old Age.

We look upon the aged with good
reason as having slender hold upon
life, one that may be loOsened by a
slight shock Of injury or disease
which Ia the young or middle-aged,
would serve only as a stimulus TO the
reparative vital powers. This is a
conservative belief, but II warns us
10 shield our loved ones who have
fought the fight, from all Influences
which might shorten their stay With
us. But we must not go too far I'm
our sollcitude, for injury may be In
flcted aud life shortened by coddllng
the old, almost as surely as by coddl-
log the young. The vital processes
10 the aged are slow, but they are
still existent, and they may be kept
active by gentle opposition and slim
ulatlon, Just as they may be increased
In childhood and youth by rough
methods. d.. Ualdwell's Syrup Pepslu
and Herb Laxative Compound is a
boon TO the aged and inGrm and prob.
ably no medicine has accomplished so
much, or received as high or as many
Inducements from men aud women
whose extreme age gives them a
seemingly slender hold upon life. Or.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln makes per-
feet digestion and acts gently upon
the bowels In an easy and pleasant
manner Tones up the entire system
and proloDgs life. SOC and o. bottles.

King Island Boys.

the spray to meet the 1ow-hangfng
clouds that hover about this lonely
rock
The only place on the island where
q landing is possible is on the south
side. Here the face of the cliff is cut
by a steep ravine extending upward
to the level plateau which forms the
summit of the island. There is no
beach, and at all times landing is diff
ficult and dangerous, and only pos
sible during the most favorable
weather.
The houses, some forty in number,
are scattered without regard to or
der, wherever they can be made to
hang on the almost vertical face of
the cliff. They are so constructed and
set on top of one another as almost
to suggest one large communal dwell
ing, having perhaps, far-fetched re-
semblance to the cliff jewellers of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico, differing vast
1y, however, in material and mode of
construction. The summer houses
are square boxes of walrus skin
stretched on frames of drift-wood
dashed together and guyed to the
rocks with Thongs, no nails. screws or
other civilized methods of joining be-
ing used.
AS in most Eskimo villages there is
one house larger than the rest, known
as the "Kazhime," which answers the
purpose of public house or club, and
its hospitality is impartlally shared
by the entire community. 1t is often
the home of the young unmarried
men, and the place of entertainment
for strangers. 1t is also the place of
general gatherings, where the long
Arctic night is enlivened by the
shouts and laughter of the half-naked
dancers, and the ride, monotonous
music of the tom-tom. Here the Cos
sips meet, here the Shaman performs
his tricks of magic, and the hunters
Of bear and walrus relate their deeds
of daring on sea and ice foe.
Inside the ordinary dwelling a low
bench extends around two or three
sides of the single room, which serves
by day as a seat, and by night as
bed The room is usually about
ten or fifteen feet square, and in this
single apartment a whole family, and
sometimes two or three families,
spend their entire indoor life. The
household equipment is of the sim
plest and rudest description; few
wooden vessels and a curiously fash
