WHY THE "ROYAL" IS THE Best
Th e improved method by which it has
been made possible to produce pure cream
of tartar, has had an important bearing
upon the manufacture of baking powder.
By the process heretofore generally en-
ployed it has been found impossible to
remove all impurities, more particularly
the tartrate of lime, which remained to
such an extent as to greatly impair the
quality of the cream of tartar, and to in
terfere seriously with the strength and
wholesomeness of the baking powders
into which it entered.
In the new process which is owned by
the Royal Baking Powder Company of
New York, and exclusively employed in
its extensive tartar works, the imported
crude grape acid is so treated as to remove
all vestige of tartrate of lime or other
impurities, giving product before un-
known-a chemically pure cream of
tartar
By the employment of these superior
pany has made the Royal Baking Powder,
as the chemists all certify, of the highest
possible degree of strength, absolutely
pure" and wholesome, and with an always
uniform leavening power. 1t is for these
reasons that the Royal never fails to
produce bread, biscuits, cakes, ETC., that
are light, sweet, digestible and whole
some; the eating of which is never fol.
lowed by indigestion, or any of those
physical discomforts attendant upon the
partak;ng of improperly prepared food
In rendering possible the production of
baking powder possessed of these qualifi-
cations, the improved method of refining
cream of tartar becomes a matter of
material Importance to the culinary
world.

GAS TAK.

It's Value as a Preservativea From Attacks
of Epidemic Diseases.
The serious outbreak of cholera with
which France has recently been visited
has caused inquiry to be made as to the
extent to which persons engaged in
particular manufacturing operations
enjoy immunity from or are rendered
more susceptible to the attacks of cpl
demic disease It has been. known al
most ever since the establishment Of
gasworks that the exhalations arising
in the various processes of gas manu-
facture-although perhaps, not spe-
cially pleasing to the olfactory organs
are not detrimental to health, but,
on the contrary, highly beneficial in
spec al forms of diseases, such as
whooping cough and Group. The ex-
tensive use, in throat ailments, of prep
arations inwhich some form of carbolc
acid figures largely is,a testimony to
the value of this derivatiye of coal tar
as a therapeutic agent. A recent issue
of the Journal des Usi7aes q G0z con-
tains an article in which particulars are
given respecting certain Investigations
made by DR.. Lemaire some years ago
into the subject of the influence
of coal tar and its derivatives upon the
health of the workmen employed in
the preparation of these substances.
His inquiries were made chiefly in con-
nection with the employees of the Paris
Gas Company. He found that those
whose duties did not necessitate q pro
Eonged stay in the parts OF the works
where tar was to be found were liable
to all kinds of ailments, and formed
considerable proportion of the number
On the sick list; while among the work
men specially occupied with tar, only
three were sick in the course OF seven
years. This resu& is all the more strik-
ING when the number of workmen in
the service of the company at the period
referred to is considered. There were
altogether 20.553 men, of whom 764
were engaged in some occupation con-
nected with tar. DIR. Lemaire also
cites the case of the Bayonne gasworks,
where the workmen had not only not
been attacked by cholera during its pre-
valence, but generally enjoyed immunity
from skin diseases. M Bouley. pro-
fessor at the veterinary school at Al
fort, found as long ago as 1860 that gas
works employees escaped during cholera
epidemics, and the communication of
this fact to DR.. Lemaire causec him to
institute his inquiries into the subject.

Carelessness is the true cause of great
many of our misfortunes. 1t was care
lessness, according to the admission of

1t is estimated that as much land
has been sold in Kansas during the
first half of the present years as was
sold during the first halves of the
years 1883 and 1884, together-the
total amount for the first six months
of 1885 being 360,484 acres sold for
81 ,429 ,463.39, against 206, 1929 acres
sold for 1915, 564.3O for the first six
of 1884. The best lands are selling
very rapidly. The crops are looking
much better than last year. Wheat
will come up to an average, and the
corn crop will be very large. Wheat
last year sold for twenty-five cents ;
it is now ninety cents at home. The
farmers will feed corn this year to
their stock. Stock-raising is found
very profitable, even on small
scale. There are many fine cream
cries in the state. Good unimprov-
ed farming land can still be obtained
for from S. to $40 per acre. There
is no drawback to the steady devel
ment of the state.

PROGRESS AGAINST BOUR-
RONISM

Both the great parties in New York
have held their state conventions,
proclaimed their principles. and nom
mated their candidates. 1t is agreed
on all hands that the Republicans
were exceedingly fortunate in their
ticket. Hon. Ira Davenport, their
candidate for governor, is compar-
atively young man, only "A, repre-
senting what is sound, earnest and
clean in politics. Not only is he ac-
ceptable to all Republicans but he
has already drawn to his support
most of the independent Republicans
who went for Cleveland last fall. The
rest of the ticket is equally accepta-
BILE. Gen. Carr for Lieutenant-gov
ernor has splendid record both as
civilian and soldier. The other
nominations could not be bettered.
The Republican platform takes adj
vanced ground as to civil service and
strong ground for protection. The
plank in regard to the civil service is
particularly admirable because it is
practical and progressive. In effect
it declares for strengthening and ex-
tending the present act to call grades
of the public service" to which the
principles of civil service reform may
be applied. This is just what is
wanted, and could not be better stat
ed. The shortcomings of the Adj
ministration in processing one thing
and doing another, On this subject,
are severely arraigned, and its refus-
al to carry out the appropriation by
Congress for the encouragement of
American shipping is also censured.
Altogether the platform is a strong
one.
Flower, the aspirant for presi-
dental nomination, was nominated
for Acknowledgements, but con-
Guided it was too small an office for
his caliber and declines the nominal
ton. One Jones will be put on to
the ticket.
The platform, while ostensibly en-
dorsing the President, is covert at
tack on the civil service system, and
would repel every friend of civil SER
vice reform even if the ticket were
less Objectionable.
The contest in New York to be de-
cided on the Sd of November is SIM
ply a contest between Progress aud
Bourbonism, and it will be strange
indeed if Progress does not VIM

The Massachusetts republicans
signifed their hearty approval of
Governor Robinson's administration
by giving him denomination. The
rest of the ticket is the old one, with
the exception of the nomination of
Hon. A. w. Beard for the position
of state treasurer. The platform
set forth republican principles in a
clear and unequivocal manner and
while rejoicing over the reconcilia-
ton of the Southern States, demand
that proof of the reconciliation shall
be given in the honest enforcement
of the election laws. The addresses
of Senators Hoar and Hawley and
Mr.. Beard enunciated sound repub-
lican doctrine and reflect the senti-
ment of a vast majority of republi-
cans. AS might be expected, the
platform and speeches are not en-
tirely acceptable to a few indepen-
dent journals that have no rightful
claim to speak for the republican
party.

A list of between 500 and 600

In addition it is estimated that dur

1000 pOstmasters will come before

The death of Ex-Governor Thomas

The death of Ex-Governor Thomas
Talbot of BiIlerica, Mass, calls
forth universal regret and warm
commentator of the character of
the deceased. Political opponents
and friends alike bear willing testi-
mony to his high personal integrity
and unstaincd official record. He
represented n class that is rapidly
growing in this country. Though a
native of New York, his parents
were both Irish immigrants. He
therefore represented that class of
American citizens of Irish parentage
which is very large in New England
to-day. and he was one of the best
representative that it had. He was
a toiler from boyhood, and by his
industry and sagacity became one OF
the foremost manufacturers of bis
adopted state. From that state also
he received its political honors, ane
III all positions, whether public O
private, was thoroughly honest anC
capable. He promoted every goo(
cause in his own town and was it
chief benefactor in many ways.

KEEPING OUT SMALL POX.

ST. ALBANs, October 5th.-In an
interview regarding the smallpox
epidemic at Montreal and the timidi-
ty of people down the country re-
garding travel in this direction, Gen
eral Manager Hobart of the Central
Vermont railroad said to-day that
nothing was neglected on the part of
the railroad that would render travel
to and from Montreal as safe as pos
sible. No passenger cars of any
kind coming from Boston or New
York or intermediate points are al
lowed to go further than this place,
passengers and baggage being trans
ferred to special trains, which run
only between st. Adams and Mon
treal and which are thoroughly disin-
fected and cleansed every day.
Medical inspectors are aboard every
train coming from Montreal, and no
passengers are allowed to go south
from this place unless they have
been vaccinated. A building has
been erected here where all baggage,
concerning which there is the slight
est doubt, is fumIgated, and passen-
gers en- route from Montreal are
compelled to make complete change
of cars here. The medical inspect
ors recently appointed are very little
objection on the part of passengers.
In spite of the proximity to the in
fected city and the constant stream
of travel from there, the strict mea-
sures adopted have been thus fa1
successful, and no cases have yet
appeared in this vicinity or in the
| state
