MIR. Hendricks and the Soldiers.
be Editor Of the ~IndinnanoNa Innrnai.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Thomas A. Hendricks, by his candidacy, in
vites the ex-soldiers Of the late war to vote for
him In November next Before doing SO it is
fair that we should know from him personally
what word or act of his, during the war or since,
has been put forth in our behalf.
We have a profound respect for every man,
Republican or Democrat. who gives us as much
as a kind look. Much more do we Ivenerate the
noble mind that can understand the life and la
bors Of a soldier; that can appreciate and is will
ling to reward his services. To such a man our
support is certain.
Those who stood by us during the most dread
full conflict the western world has ever known,
and those who have since done what they could
to alleviate the wants and misery of our disa-
bled comrades, need have no anxiety as to our
action in November. Again we ask Mr. Hend-
ricks:
What have you done or said for us, or the
cause for which we staked our lives that war
rants you in asking our support
Upon the receipt of your answer through the
columns Of the Indianapolis Journal we will
shape our action for the coming election.
We ask this, Mr.. Hendricks, through no other
motive than that we may know what has been
your past relation to our interests.
Trusting that we will be favored with an
early reply, we remain respectfully yours,
PRIVATE G. A. c., !.

During the war foraging parties. usually Of
cavalry, trayersed the whole country around the
Union armies in search Of food for the men and
forage for the animals. They seized corn,
wheat, oats and other field products, -four and
provisions, wherever any were to be found.

make their loyalty appear. usually followed the
foraging party to the camp, or presented their
receipt or certificate at o military post and were
paid for their property by the quartermaster.
But thousands and thousands Of such receipts
went into disloyal hands, and have been pre-
served, for their owners expect that they will at
some time be cashed by the federal government,

NEVER YET QUESTIONED:
The Absolute Purity and Wholesomeness Q
Royal Baking Powder.

1t is a noticeable fact that in the numerous battles between
the rival baking powder makers the absolute purity and whole
someness Of the Royal Baking Powder has never yet been
questioned.
Hundreds Of baking powders have been placed upon the
market with great flourish Of trumpets, and have strutted their
brief hour in imaginary contention with Royal for the patron
age Of the public, but their impurities and imperfections were
soon exposed by the chemists skill, and they speedily passed
away, the victims of their own mephitic gases, or are await
ing the fate that sooner or later oVertakes the fraud and the
|charlatan.
But the thousands Of analyses, many Of them by the most
celebrated chemists Of the world, the most searching scrutiny
by scientific bodies in this country and Europe, the exhaustive
tests before the juries of competitive and industrial exhibit
tons, and all the minute and ~prejudiced investigations by
rivals and their chemists in the endeavor to find something
upon which to base the shadow Of a fault have had but one
result, to more fully determine and establish the fact that the
Royal Baking Powder and all its ingredients. are absolutely
pure and wholesome. All reputable chemists, and all but the
most ignorant makers Of the low test, short weight, lime, alum
and other impure powders, long since ceased to examine the
Royal Baking Powder to find anything impure or unwholesome
in it.
While the Royal is proud Of these unimpeachable indorse-
ments, and highly gratifed at the perfect result which it has,
by the aid of the most competent chemists, the adoption Of
every available invention, and the expenditure of great sums
of money, been able to accomplish, its greatest pleasure arises
from the. fact that its labors have been parallel with those
great interests of the public sought in the protection of the
lives and health Of the people.
The gravity Of the danger to the consumer from the many
impure and unwholesome baking powders Of the market is
but family appreciated. The small amount Of injurious sub
stance impaired to the system at one time in the use Of such
powders is unnoticeabIe. They are therefore continued by the
consumer in ignorance of the serious results sure to follow
from the accumulated effects. This slow, insidious poisoning,
because unapparent, is more dangerous than a larger dose at
once. All the baking powders upon the market, except Royal,
have been found to contain lime, alum, terra alba or other
ingredients that injuriously affect the health Of the consumer.
The great advantage to the public of a baking powder like
the Royal, whose purity and w-holesomeness have never been
questioned, and whose practical worth has stood the test Of
cooking for so many years, will be apparent to every con
sumner.

that the visitors from the suburbs and

number the citizens of PHILADELPHIA
who have patronized the exhibition.
