Respect Stomach GIVE it food that will not irritate or retard the performance of its natural functions, and it will reciprocate in a way agreeable and comforting. No single ingredient contributes so largely toward wholesome, nourishing, agreeably food as Royal Baking Powder. Royal Baking Powder’s active ingredient, Grape Cream of Tartar, is the most healthful of the fruit products. This is why Royal Baking Powder makes the food finer, lighter, more appetizing and anti-dyspeptic, a friend to the stomach and good health. Imitation Baking Powders Contain Alum “The use of alum and salts of alumina in food should be PROHIBITED. The constant use of alum compounds exerts a deleterious effect upon the digestive organs and an irritation of the internal organs after absorption. a EDWARD S.

The hatchet is buried and the handle thrown in the well. We got in the postoffice this morning a package bearing the frank of E. D. Crumpacker, and in package were smaller packages of garden Beed. Watermelon, turnip, parsnip, lettuce and mustard; we are very fond of mustard.

The young man left Francesville three years ago for the west and was employed with a surveying party when he caught a severe cold which settled on his lungs with fatal effect. He had been in a hospital since December and a letter from his sister who was with him, for some unknown reason failed to reach here for several weeks after it was written, and thus the news of his illness and death came about the same time. The youDg man was about 26 years of age and his remains were buried at Tacoma.

MONUMENTS.

Are you considering the erection of a monument? Probably inexperienced, of course, and fear your jmdgment may err. Just consider quality of material first, and size and design second. The price must be right, too, not too high or too low; just right, and it will be right if you get my prices. So will the material and workmanship be right, from the top of the monument to the bottom of the foundation. My many years of practical experience in every feature of the monument trade and my determination to satisfy you in every particular reduces the possibilities of disappointment to the minimum. Will you not kindly write or call for prices before buying elsewhere, or wait for the “Rensselaer man” who will surely call when the proper time arrives.
