Good' Health to the Children Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is health ful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar light ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. CAROLINA. Carolina, my own, iny native home, The dear land of my birth; 'Tie to thee, and thee alone, Bleat laud of all the earth, I owe my being, my life, my all. My friends and loved ones dear, Yea, more than these, I owe thee al<, Evon the names I bear; Tis to thy red hills and towering trees, And valleys and glens and dales; To thine own plains o'er which the broeze Prom the broad Atlantic sails; To thine own sons who've bled and died Toset their country free, And tothlneown daughters, tho world's own pride, I owe what e'er I be. To the mem'ry of tho time when thou wast not? The home of the free-born brave, But an enemy's country whose fast Hy ing shot Many a man, with a great kind hoart, Who had come from over tho eea, Seeking a home where he might in part, Gain his freedom and liberty; To those brave men, to their sad past, And to their own brave hardy sons, Owe we a debt which's not surpassed, Kven by our greatest ones, For who can tell, what pen describe, The trials they underwent, When on tho field they bled and died, Or suffered for thee Imprisonment 1 Oh, Carolins t my Carolin 11 The land I love so well, A land of freedom, thou'rt Carolina, But who, yea, who can tell Wlia*. thou wouldn'st be, had it not been Kor th'se who were noble and brave, And true to theo at all times when Thy future looked dark and grave? We know not what thou might have been, Ah, no, we can not see, Had it not been that such brave men, As Marion, Sumter and Lee, Came to thy rescue and bravely won The days for freedom's cause, Fighting their battle's, one by one, With never a break or a pause. Not only one man and not only three, But hundreds and thousands and more. Were fighting for their country's sweet liberty, And to keep back the tryant from her door; But understand thou, the honors don't all Belong to thy sous, to them alone, But some to their wives, to their moth ers, and all Who were waiting and watching at home. In times of war, and in times of peace, No matter how great tbine own need, Thou hast been at the front, and with a comely grace, H*st kept thy place In the lead; But then there's a cause, yes, one for It all, And the who'e world knows that 'tis true, Each-'i;Sooth Carolinian, when thou dost call, Does for thee all he can do. Oh, Carolina! Carolina I! The land that borders the wave, The land that graces America, The home of the free-born brave, Because of thine own Palmetto tree, And the tropical palm, it? mate, Nature, it seems, hath named tbee The glorious Palmetto State. And this name thon hast with glory crowned, For in all times of the past Thy sons have gone at the bugle's iirot sound, And fought till the last; And now wherever thy colors fly, On 'and or on the wave, Men place their hands on their boarts and cry? ?There's the flag of the free-born bra?e."

Have Tho Laurens Drug Co. sign this bond, wnen you buy a box Ml-o-na, tbo great flesh-formlng-food and digestion regulator. GUARAJNTKK BOND. We hereby agree to refund the price paid for Ml ona, If the purchaser tells us that It has not increased llesh and ?iven freedom from etomach trouble. Signed. Many thin persons wonder why they cannot get fat. In very few cases thin ness is not because too litt'o food is eaten, but because the foods fails to bo assimilated and does not properly nour ish. A litt'e food thoroughly assim ilated Is better than a great mass of food that Is undigested and passing through the system without nourish ing. Mi-o-na, tho wonderful llesh-formlng food when used for a little while, soon shows by a steady gain in weight that it does all that Is claimed for it. It never fails to build up good, i olid fleeh, regulate digestion and givo tone and strength to the digestive organs, so that dyspepsia is a thing of tho past. Read carefully the guarantoo b>nd above and you will see that Tho Laurens Drug Co. faith have so much in Mi-o-na that tbey will sign a bond to rofund the money if Mi-o-na does not do all that Is claimed for it. Cut out this bond, take it to their store to-day, and when you buy a box of Mi-o-na, ask them to sign it. Let them take a'l tho risk. If Ml-o-na does not build up good, !solid, healthy llesh, euro a'l stomach troubles and restore health and vigor, The Laurens Drug Co. will return your money. To Speak at Newberry. Mr. John J.

The worn-out stomach of tho over fed millionaire is often paraded in the publio prints as a horrible examp'o of the evil attendant on the possession of great wealth.

Wo realize that this id claiming a, great deal, and we could not afford to make this assertion unless wo knew that wo could prove it to ho true. But it does not tako an expert to test tho softness of a Mineral Water. When carbonating a mineral water, if it is a hard wator the gases will not be absorbed in tho water, and when tho bottle is opened, the pas es escape, and tho water Is left flat and hard, whilo if it is a soft water, like White Stono Lithia, it will retain its gases for hours after boing unstopped.
