Strength.
Name of the
Baking Powders.

In his report, the Government Chem
ist says:
*'I regard all alum powders as very
unwhOlesOme. Phosphate and TartaTic
Acid powders liberate their gas too
freely in process of baking, or under
varying climatic changes suffer deteri-
OTatiOn." DR.. II. A. Mott, the former
Government Chemist, after careful
and elaborate examination of the vaTi-
GUS Baking Powders of commerce, re-
ported to the Government in favor of
the Royal brand.
An extract from the doctors report is
given below:
1T is not only my opinion, but sci
entific fact, that the baking Powder
known as the ROYAL BAKING POWDER
is, as is claimed, ABSOLUTELY PURE, be-
ing entirely free (as demonstrated by
Chemical Analysis) from all those infe-
TiOr substitutes, such as Alum, Terra
Alba, ETC., which are so extensively
used and which are all more or less in
furious"
have only to add, that for 20 years
the Royal Baking Powder has been be-
fore the public, and it is to-day the
standard for purity and excellence, al
most the world oyer. 1t has been exam
ined by Boards of Health and reputable
chemists throughout the land, and has
their highest cOmmendatiOns-and to-
day no reputable chemist will dare put
himself on record as stating that any of
the materials used in its manufacture
are unwhOlesOme.

The recent publication of the report,

Gus Baking Powders, according to tests
made blythe Government Chemist, has
induced'sOme of the manufacturers of
brands. whose. inferiOrity was thus
brought to light to resort to various
MEANS and publications in order to rid
themselves of the results of that unfa-
VOrable exposition of their inferiOrity.
That the public may fully under

conception arising out of the state

break the force of the report, herewith
snbiOin the main part of the report, in
which the comparative values are cor
rectly given.

mine what brands are the most eco
nOmieal to use. And as their capacity
lies in their leavening power, tests
were directed solely to ascertain the

When you feel badly, and have pains
here and there in your body that you
don't know how to account for, it is the
most foolish policy in the world to take
the advice of people who say: ooh,
there's nothing the matter with you.
Let yourself alone and you will come
out all right" These folks know moth
ing about it, and may be trifling with
your life. You may have Kidney or
Liver trouble. Send right out to your

you will be all right, or write to the

ally relating 10 puslie business, but it
was the wholesale abuse Of the frank
ing privilege that made It intolerable.
Whether the new plan will escaped
these abuses remains 10 be seen. The
tendency Of Congress, esq ecially of the
Senate TO Yo.e its members privileges
or donations of money, increases con-
stantly and was illustrated recently by
the passage Of a resolution giving Mi.
Kellogg, of Louisiana, S9,5J0, and Mr..
Butler, Of South Carolina, 5 $500, for
expenses incurred in maintaining their
rights to the seats they hold. There is
no precedent for this action. Contest
ants have generally been paid their ex-
penses, but sitting members have not.
Mr.. Butler is a Democrat. and Mr. Kel
logg is a Republican, which explains
why tile two resolutions were made de
pendent N each other.
Tie annual seed campaign has been
conducted with unusual vigor this year,
and many Congressman think they
lave insured a triumphant reelection
til S summer by the judicIous distribu-
tiCn of seeds. Some very c~rastily send
their allowance ut seeds to constituents
OF tho opposite party which if it has
the effect intended is Il very cheap way
of securing votes. When the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was before the
House Ii member moved an amend
mept empowering the Commissioner oi
Agricul.are to distribute all the seeds
hereafter instead of dividing the W ,rk
with Congressman. This proposition
brought to bis feet an alert young rep
resentatiye, Mr.. Talbot of Maryland
who gave nh entertaining account Of
his experience in the distribution OF
seeds Wien he first became u member.
a. that time the Commissioner had
the entire distribution and Mr.. Talbot
sent to him Il list of his constituents tC
whom he wished seeds to he forwarded.
lie considered that he was making hin
self solid with his friends and neigh,
bors, and when he went home he would
ask the different ones lie met whether
they had received the seeds he had or
deted for them, expecting 10 receive
their grateful thanks. To his dislna,
they all replied in the negative, anc
waen he hal put the question to ifteer
or twenty ard received the same repl,
from all he thought it was time te sub
side oil the seed question. lie thought
now it was better To adhere to the pre-.
ent plan; and the members would tllel
be certain that some seeds y.ere sent /,
their constituents. The House wa.
much AMUSED with this graphic recis-
al, and the consequence was that tn,
amendment was lost.

Some of our Legislators have appar-
emily learned how to miDgle brass with
their brains. The House ON Tuesday
sent a communication to the Senate
requesting that body to hurry up and
pass the bills which had been already
adopted by the House. The Senate
recognized the rare i~mprrtinence OF
the request and seut the House word
that it considered the communication
entirely uncalled for. When it is re-
membeled that the Senate is a long dis
lance AHEAD of the Assembly in the
matter Of business, the nerve of tn,
AIsemblymen will be all the more
readily appreciated.

AoIliNolO 1hb(fi Il, lCOZ.
Some unseemly bits of scandal have
been going round and are still coming
out concerning the expenses of Presi-
dent Garfield's sickness and the funeral
obsequips. Many of the statesments
made are doubtless more or less exag-
Grated, but there is truth cough TO
make some people ASHAMED of them
selves. This is particularly the case
relative to the expenses of the funeral
train from Washington to Cleveland
Besides an item of 81 200 for white
gloves there is one Of 81, 700 for cham
paigne, brady and cigars and n of
$500 for Cocktails" while the whole
cost Of the Congressional party of
mourners fOots up a modest little bill
sf 81, 200. 1t has been denied that the
items referred to were in the bills rem
dered, but from the best information
that can be obtained the statement ap-
pears to lie true. Congressman Page,
of California, who was delegated by
the Committee of the House to audit
the accounts, says that after examining
the bills he aggregated them all into
one lump and destroyed the originals.
He considered that was the best thing
to do, as he did net think it was proper
to have II scandal over such a matter.
Opinions may differ rs to Mr.. Pages
right to take this course, but opinions
will concur that it Was the worst posi-
BILE course to take TO prevent a scandal.
1t il remembered here that the press
was very carefully excluded from the
funeral train. Even the reporters for
the Associated Press We're refused leave
to accompany the Congressional mourn
ers, which is an unusual think.
Both houses of Congress have been
squirting all winter at the restoration
of the franking privilege hut, like all
previous Congresses since the privilege
was abolished, they lacked the courage
to do it openly and directly. At last,
however, a way has been found to prac
t!cally accomplish that end by indirec-
tiun. An amendment tackled on to
the Post Office Appropriation bill pro-
vldes for ~''oficial envelopes" like
those used by the various Departments,
to he kept on hand for the use of the
Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of
the House, as well as members of eth
er body. This does hot contemplate
private correspondence free
but is intended 20 cover all matter per-
to public business. Many OBJ
jectiens have been raised to This plan,
chiefly by those who desired 10 have
the old ~franking privilege absolutely
restored, but it has finally been agreed
TO in the senate as the best a~ttainable
method, and will doubtless pass the
House. There ought to be no objee-
ton to tbs free passage of matter actu-

The statement to the effect that the
naval portfolio had been rendered to

seems to be inaccurate in view of the
fact that General Grants visit has re-
suited in his friend, General Z. f.
Beale, formerly Minister to Austria,
being selected for the position. Sec
rotary Hunt has been offered and has
decided TO accept the Russian mission,
and has already begun to make arrange
ments to settle his affairs in the de.
partment, although he is somewhat
disappointed at hot being retained in
