R BAKING - POWDER Delimcious Hot Biscuit The most appetizing, healthful and nutritious of foods. Hot biscuit made with impure and adulterated baking powder are neither appetizing nor whole- some. It all depends upon the baking powder. Take every care to have your biscuit made with Royal Baking Powder, the only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar, which is chemically pure, if you would avoid indigestion.

He stopped and I heard him ask my hus band: “Sah, ken you tell me whah a pusson might git a bite to eat? I's a stranger in this heah town—" “Well,” my husband - said, “it de pends on whether a ‘pusson’ likes rice and gravy and boiled sliced ham—de you?” ‘The old man took off his hat. “That I does, sah; yes, sah.” “And Virginia batter bread?” “Virginia batter bread?” the strang or repeated, gently. “Why, boss, 1 ‘was brung up on that.

Probably Appreciated “Spread” Of fered by Disappointed Hostess More Than the Expected Guest Would Have Done. i One evening my husband came home with the news that Dr. Baird of North Carolina was in town. I was delighted at the thought of seeing an old friend from my native place; 8¢ we called at once and asked him ta stay with us while he was in the city. He could not conveniently accept the invitation, but as he expected to re main in town over Sunday he promv ised to dine with us on that day. The thought of entertaining my good old family doctor filled me with happiness. I was determined to show| I turned and ran back to the dining him that I had not forgotten the art|{room. “Frieda,” I said, “make a cup of southern cookery, although I wae|of hot coffee.” Then I added, “Man married to a northern man and lived | proposes but God disposes.’” Frieda “No, I am not,” my husband replied “See that house? Go round to the back door and ask the lady for & bite —it's all there waiting for you.” in a northern city. So I planned a simple, old-fashionedd Carolina din- nes, and soon had grocers and butch- ers at their wits’ ends trying to find me a genuine country-cured ham, white corn meal and real Virginia sweet potatoes, Frieda, my cook, yielded her place, and I took entire charge. On Satur day I boiled the ham, and cooled it| in its own liquor, into which I had dropped a gill of molasses and a hint of spices; it was delicious. On Sun day morning I did the rest of the cooking; the batter bread browned did -not understand, but I couldn’t help saying it. In a moment I heard the old man’s timid but hopeful rap. I asked him in, called him “uncle,” after the southern fashion, and bade him sit down and have his dinner. 1 shall never forget the bewildered ex- pression on his face as he dropped his shabby old hat on the fioor beside his chair and looked over the table. As I beckoned to Frieda, and we left hiin to his feast, I heard him say: “Well, bless Gawd!"—Youth’s Com- panion, beautifully; the grated sweet potato pudding, with its quart of rich cream, was excellent; I did not forget the doctor’s taste for gravy with rice, or his favorite lettuce salad, - been baking cakes for the man in the When the table was set I was proud ;o:n, w!:o w“; supposed to leave his of it; the snowy linen, the shining stk | & d'“ on the annual festival and ver and the pretty china and glass| Wander over the earth nibbling at the were certainly attractive.

Fallon.) ‘OA | g A ) Crowd Proved to Be Very Human When Cripple Long Blind Was Wheeled Up. All his life he had been lame; near ly all his life he had been blind. But always he could hear, and the thing he liked best to hear was martial music by the band. He heard it sel- dom. The Home for Incurables was on a side street, out of the way of bands. The operation that restored his sight was followed shortly by a big parade. “At last,” sald he, “I shall see the fellows that play the band.” The lne of march was twenty blocks away, but to a strong-armed orderly who was used to wheeling & reclining chair twenty blocks was nothing. The policeman on the edge of the crow was far more formidable. “You can’t take that boy in there,” he sald. “They'd crush the life out out of him. We can’t do anything ‘with a crowd like this on parade days. They're a mob.” “But they're very human,” said the orderly. Then he told the story of the newly opened eyes. “‘Oh, well,” said the policeman. He stepped back. Others also step- ped back, policemen and members of the “mob.” Right up the curb they ‘went, the boy and the orderly. A few who had held their places since sun up grumbled a little, but the eager look of the boy who had never seen & uniform conquered and they made way. Then the bands came, dozens of them, and every bandsman seemed to play his best for the boy in the chair. It was splendid; so splendid that the boy and the orderly and the mob laughed and cried together. Truly, the mob was very human, JUST ESCAPED WORSE FATE Fine of Man Who Attempted Sulcide Would Have Been Larger Had He Succeeded. g One evening, several years ago, in a gold mining camp in the Transvaal, a man, partially intoxicated and sup- Dosed to be actuated by jealousy, at- tempted suicide. He Afirst took mor- phia, but this not proving strong enough he tried to hang himself, but ‘was prevented, and handed over to the sheriff to be kept in safe custody for the night, and to be tried before -the acting gold commissioner, a shrewd and solemn Scot, the next morning. There being no law to prevent him from committing suicide if he thought fit, but it being considered desirable to punish him in some way, it was decid- ed to bring a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct against him. To this the -prisoner pleaded guilty, whereupon the acting gold commis- sloner, without the ghost of a smile, delivered the following extraordinary judgment: “I shall fine ye twa punds for your drunkenness; but I'll just gie ye to un- derstand that I ken vera weel what ye attempted to dae, and had ye succeed- ed in your attempt, your poonishment ‘would have bin vera much more se- vere than it is!” 01d Age. 0ld age as it comes in the orderly process of nature is a beautiful and majestic thing . It stands for exper- ience, knowledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old ‘age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. This in almost every instance is wholly unnecessary. One of Cham- berlain’s Tablets taken immediately after supper will improve the diges- tion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despon- dency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by Bar- ker’s Drug Store.—Adv. Fire Prevention Responsibility. ‘Woman as a factor in fire preven- tion was an important feature of the organization work of the “Fire Show” which was given in Madison Square Garden, New York. Domestic fire prevention is rapidly being reduced to & sclence by expert specialists. Good housekeeping means neatness and cleanliness, and neatness and cleanli- ness should in themselves do away with those stacks of inflammable rub- bish, in corners, closets and store rooms, that are the cause of so many fires. Some of the points emphasized at the show were that super-heated attics have caused many fires; ordi- nary matches will ignite at 110 de- grees F.; fireproof installation 'of stoves means the saving of many child Hves, étc. b .The fire peril, it is contended, is just as great in many metropolitan residences as in subarban and rural bomes because of conditions that in- telligence and care would do away with. A special committee of women had charge of this department of the fire show. ) One of the regularly enrolled stu- dents of the University of Wisconsin is Mrs. Amy Winship, aged eighty- three. She is known as “the oldest Junior in the world.” Some of her grandchildren got ahead of her in the winning of a college diploma, but she promises herself now that she will soon overtake them. “I can’t remem- ber when I did not believe in wom- o2 suffrage” shomyn Queensiand’s Rifie Fish, There 18 said to exist'in the waters of Northern Queensland a fish mea- suring about ten inches in length and averaging a pound and half in weight,: which possesses the remarkable pow- er of shooting its prey. = ‘The “rifie fish,” as it is called, is alleged to swim leisurely about the stream a few inches below the sur face, on the lookout for flies and ‘When the “rifie fish” gets close the purpose, it discharges & tiny jet or ball of wa- shot t, knock the where it is i»- run along time. 1-Day-Ben, (Intermit tent) « & & o 1-Day-Wake Up sell them. .

Haes it ever occurred to you that strange feats may be performed with figures? Multiply the figure 9, for in- stance. ' Multiply it by 2 and you get 18, and 8 and 1 make 9. Five 9's are 45, and 5 and 4 make 9 again. Three 9’s are 27, and 7 and 2 make 9. Four 9’s are 36, and 6 and 3 make 9. . Nine is indeed a mysterious num- ber. Take any row of figures = you fancy, say 8642, and if you - reverse them and subtract, 8642—2468, you have left 6174, which added together, makes 18, or twice 9. Take the 18, and 8 and 1 make 9 again. If you take five figures, say 76543, reverse them, 34567, and subtract, you get 41976, which, added together, makes 27—that is, 7 and 2 make 9, or three 9's are 27. Thirty-seven is another number spe- clally adapted for figure Juggling. Multiplied by 3, 37 becomes 111, and no matter what multiple of 3 you use, the figures in-the result will be all alike. Twelve times 37 is 444, 37 times 21 becomes 777 and 80 on.—An- wers. 2 6 Methodist Minister Recommends Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Rev. James A. Lewis, -Milaca, Minn., writes: “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been a needed and welcome guest ' in our home for & number of years. I highly recom- mend it to my fellows as being a medicine worthy of trial in cases of colds, coughs and croup.” Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a trial and we are confident you will find it very effectual and continue to use it as occasion requires for years to come, as many others have done. For sale by Barker’s Drug Store.—Adv. $1,700,000 Muskrats, It is not generally known that the muskrat is the most important * fur- bearing animal of North America. In one year alone (1910) 5,500,000 musk- rat skins were put upon the market, realizing to the trappers a sum ap- proximately $1,700,000. A large per centage of the muskrat catch is fur- nished by the tidewater region of Ma- ryland, Delaware and New Jersey. In Dorchester county, Maryland, the marshes are usually leased to the trap- per for half the value of the catch. In that county some 250,000 skins are ta- ken annually, says Harper's Weekly. Not only fur of the muskrat is used, but the meat also, which finds a 1dcal consumption and is shipped to Balti- more, Wilmington and other cities. It 18 surprising .to learn that the finan- cial return exceeds that of the large oyster industry of the same region. The fur of the black muskrat com- mands the highest price, and in Dor- chester county some of the marshes vield fully_onehalf of this variety. The Best Congh Medicine, “I have used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy ever since I have been keep- ing house,” says L. C. Hames, of Mar- bury, Ala. “I consider it one of the best remedies I ever -used.
