FOAM is an entirely new inven- any of the bad qualities of ytatt jmrdtrt, soda, or saleratus. FOAM contains no ingredient or which can produce an injurious effect, the contrary has in itself a tendency to j'tnd nourish the human system. It la 1BS0LUTELY PURE Not Offirquently the best of flour gets all the lwu in reality the dark color and poor both caused by the use of inferior powder. Many baking powders now recommended by grocers, and hence sold, are made of old bones ground up, a chemical process mixed with other nu. Before lending their Influence to the sale of any baking powder, grocers well to ascertain the reputation and of-itx manufacturers. They would Id. becoming instrumental in perpe- fraud on their customers, and would _ . ag run make more money. Of course no honest man would knowingly lend himself •to such a fraud upon his customers, and it Is Terr-poor policy for any grocer to attempt to palm-off inferior goods when the best are askef) .for. .He may by so doing make a little money at the lime, but he surely will at some time, if the ftaud la discovered, lose one of hia best . -.Ltrimcrs, and with him a score of others whb cofigBt otherwise have dealt with him. AmCicbaut’s wisest policy Is to secure the best customers, and they are just the ones who want the best goods.

Invalids are especially interested i:i il.ii question of yeesf, and ought to keep constantly in mind the im portant fact that their dietary should at all times be the best, and that under the most favorable circumstances they can not hope to Tegaln health and strength unless their food is tho most healthful and nutritious that can be obtained. Good food makes good blood, and tho nerve force is strengthened,or impaired in proportion as the food we eat is nutritious or •otherwise. SEAFOAM is worthy of a fair trial, and that is all we ask f >r It. No one having once used it will ever use any other preparation In the talking ponder line, but Will at once aud forever banish bom the house the various crude mixtures and bogus preparations in the form of yeast that have so long and so persistently tended to destroy health by imperfectly performing the require ments they professed to fulfill. SEA FOAM retains in all their excel lence the nutritious properties and natural taste of the various cereal preparations of food, white in bread raked by the ordinary means there is very beqnently great loss of their tootlisorae end palatable qualities.

SEA FOAM is now used by the leading hotels and restaurants in New York city and throughout the country. One eating-house in New York has become famous for its SEA FOAM biscuit, and during the dinner hours there are always dozens of people walling their turn to be seated.

Carlton—Dear Sir : 1 saw in your last issue of the Banner a piece under the above heading, and I have been studying of the advantages of being a woman and the power she has over brutal mar.* Who is it that, when man is raving with madness can speak one word and quell his wrath and subdue his temper and bring him again to kind- ness ? The very echoes will answer, woman—lovely woman, sweet wo man. What would man do without woman ? Oh ! he would do nothing hut steal, i-iirder and rob. Who is it that man would die for? Won.an Who is it that man loves dearer than any thing rn earth ? Woman. Wo man is the chief concern of man’s exist mice. She is his thought by day and his dream by night.^ She i- Iiis talk at church and hall. She is his hope. She i« his thought. She is his prayer. She is his all. Now since wonutn is so dear to man let him pau-e hereto think hi w lonely hisho.-e :md collate wtiold ht^jvil’. - suffering than at i ls there, with woman, and woman alone. Man is not what God intended him for without a woman. It wa* intended by an omnipotent God that woman w'as to be a companion, a help mate and by her to make this sublunary gphete a blissful paradise. Woman has it iu her power to make earth a heaven or hell. Oh, lovely 'woman, let nte entreat you most mcicifulty to make it a lieaten. Oh, how happy woman ought to be to think and know’ she exerts such power over ui:m. The very flowers strive to look g;ty in her sight. The birds seem to sing sweeter when she is near. And now why should she not strive to make all around her happy. It ie, we know, within her power. Lip* of love, oh, me the blessing, What, but for their sweet caressing, Ware thiB tear-stained world of ours', Lips of love have soothed the wean , Lius of love have blessed the dreary, Making life’s wild pathway cheery With sweet smiles and sunny hours. We should strive hard to make those sweet, faces wear those sweet smiles they have now. We should remember woniai. is of love and it takes love to keep them alive ; they are like unto vine tendrils, they art- always looking out for something to cling to, and that something is big, ugly mail.
