As to whether any of these baking powders are equal to the "Royal," the official tests clearly determine. When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent to 60 per cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome.

ROYAL BAKip POWDER Strongest, Purest, Most Economical. •v ?r

Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal." -r making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being »o' counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown by the Government chemists and others.

As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use of

the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over one third, besides

the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable—ad van. tages

More serious sickness is produced by allowing the bowels to remain iu a torpid or partially constipated condition than from any other cause. In many instances diseases are produced, from which people never wholly recover. Dyspepsia, piles and nervous disorders are three of the most common and most serious. They are caused by neglecting the bowels, and can be prevented by an occasional dose of St. Patrick's Pills, which always produce a pleasant cathartic effect, and not only physic, but cleanse the whole system and regulate the liver and bowels. 25 cents per box, for sale by L.

GOOD ADVICE.—The editor of the West Branch, Iowa Record, gives bis readers some good advice: "We have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our family in cases of sudden colds and sore throat and find it all that is claimed-for it. One bottle or less, if taken aecording to directions will, we believe, effect a cure in any ordinary case and save the expense of large doctor bills. Especially do we recommend it in families where the children are threatened with croup, as it will afford immediate relief, if taken in time which can always be done if the medicine is kept on hand, as we are convinced it should be."

son is the happy possessor of a full fledged talking parrott. J. P. McCord has sold his interest in his Hamilton County farm to T. J. Hanna Foitv in attendance at. last week's reading circle- Teachers who have no interest in self improvement cant hope to keep up interest in their school. Every Trustee iu the county should organize a circle aud see that hts teachers are present and engaged in tim work, there is certainly to much indifference in this matter and some body is to blame of course it is the other fellow. Patrons, do you inquire whether your teacher is a worker in this line? Merely possessing the books is not taking the \york by any means.
