Travelers by Railroad frequently find tlieir watches com¬ 
pletely demoralized by the continuous jar of the train. To 
overcome this difficulty has long been a problem with 
watchmakers, and it Is now successfully accomplished in 
the new' grade made by the 
American Watch Co, of Waltham. 
This Watch is made in the most substantial manner, on 
the most approved principles, and combines all the recent 
improvements. It has a new micrometrical regulator, by 
which the slightest variation can bo easily corrected. It is 
carefully adjusted, and may be entirely relied on to run ac¬ 
curately, wear well, and ENDURE THE HARDEST 
USAGE, without any derangement whatever. We confi¬ 
dently recommend this watch to the trade and the public as 
the BEST WATCH FOR THE - PRICE IN THIS MARKET. 
The full trade-mark engraved on the plate of each watch is 
“AMERICAN WATCH CO., CRESCENT ST., WAL¬ 
THAM, MASS.,” 
and it is distinctively known as the CRESCENT-ST. Watch. 
For sale by all leading Jewelers.

This old-timed axiom is aptly illustrated in the use of 
Dooley’s Yeast Powder. It is well known that the com¬ 
mon process of raising dough is a slow one, and often at¬ 
tended with unfavorable results from the useof poor baker s 
yeast and improper beat. With Dooley's Yeast Powder, 
the best of rolls, biscuits, corn-cakes, etc., can be made m 
the short space of ten minutes, and uniform success will 
certainly attend its use. This isowingto its purity, strength, 
and the care with which It is manufactured. Dooley &
