When In The Wrong Channel

The bile wreaks grievous injury. Head
aches, constipation, pain in the liver aud
stomach, jaundice, nausea ensue. A few
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
reform these evils and prevent further:in-
jury. 1t isa pleasant aperient, its action
upon the bowels being unaccompanied by
gripping. The liver is both regulated and
stimulated by it, and as it is very impolite
to disregard disorder of that organ, which
through neglect may oulminate in danger
ous congestion and hepatio abscess, the
Bitters should be resorted to at an early
stage. Failure to do this renders con

Fever and ague, rheumatism, kidney and

medicine, and the increasing infirmitiee

THE NEED OF THE TEMPERANCE
MOVEMENT. - The English Bishop OF
Rochester bad the right of it when he
said year ago, in fremont Temple, that
England and America had legislation
enough, far more, indeed, than either
country could make use Of What was
much more needed was the moral senti
ment which comes from building up in
the community a strong and many sided
feeling that controls intemperance at our
very doors and among our friends, and
unites good people e> erywhere ia com
mon effort to put down intemperance, as
men put down any other social and moral
evil, by beating it down under their feet
through personal influence. This is the
objective point to be reached at present
by the excellent men and women who are
interested in the temperance cause.
Unity OF action, aim for what the most
people will agree to, breadth of movement
and unity of essential principles, and
the infinite hurrah of great multitude
that has but one purpose-this is the
need Of the American temperance move
ment at its first centennial.-Bostsn

IMMIGRATION,

The New York as well as Chicago and
other papers have abounded in advertise
ments for weeks past that the rates Of
steerage passage by the best steam lines
from the principal ports of Europe to those
of this country had been reduced to 500,
and the Pennsylvania Central, the Erie,
and other through lines Of railroad adyer-
tise that they will carry emigrants from
New York, Boston or Philadelphia to Chi
cago for 81. Surely at these rates there
are few on the other side who cannot,
through themselves or friends, raise enough
to cross the ocean and get into the country
nj least as far ms Chicago, Milwaukee or
St Louis.
Yet il is noticeable that the arrivals at
Castle Garden, in spite of these reduced
rates, have greatly fallen OF, The number
landed there since the LIST of January is
less than a third of the corresponding pc
rlod of 1884, and hardly fourth of the
same period in 1888.
The facts are noteworthy rs showing the
thorough knowledge which the middle and
lower classes of Europe appear to have of
the condition of labor and business in this
country. A depression of business in this
country is invariably followed by a falling
off in immigration, and a revival by an in,
crease. In, 1873 the number of Immigrants
received was 450,S63, or more than in any
previous year; in 1874 it fell To 3l3,33S,
and in 1873 II was down to 13S,169, or less
than in any year since 1862, when we We're
in the midst of war. In 1880, the revival
of prosperity having been assured, the total
again went up 20 1926, and since then
the number has been much greater.

Baking Powder Trnmps.

The danger to the public health from
the indiscriminate use of the many lime
and alum baking powders OF commerce
has been so fully exposed that everybody
desires TO avoid them. AS "fOrewarned Is
forearmed," housekeepers will thank us for
apprising them of the special efforts at pres
ent being made to dispose OF such powders
in this vicinity
The proprietors of some of the worst of
these powders are now going from house
to house, trying by means of a trick, or So
called test, with heat and water, to show
that their article is as good as the Royal
Baking Powder, making the comparison
with this brand because everybody recog-
nizes it to be absolutely pure and whole
some the object, of course, being to supply
their own goods In place of the Royal,
which housekeepers have for so many
years relied upon to puff up the morning
biscuit and to make the light, palatable
and wholesome roll cake and pastry for
which it is famous.
The housekeeper will do we'll to be on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps Every intelligent person knows
that any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner, or that are given
away in samples, or sought to be intro
duced by secretly traducing the character
of other goods well known to be pure and
reliable, have no merits of their own and
have failed to find purchasers through le-
gitimate means.
We are informed, as a matter OF fact,
that one of these tramps is trying to intro
duce powder that has been found by the
Government chemist to be 11.S5 per cent.
lime, while the other peddles powder that
is 20 per cent alum-one powerful caus-
tic, the other corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to
deceive any intelligent person. The house
keeper who has used her Royal Baking
Powder ever since she discarded cream of
tartar and soda, knows more about its quail.
tiles than all the tramps in the country can
teach her The crucial test to which she
has put the Royal Baking Powder-the
test of actual and successful work in the
preparation of pure and wholesome food,
under which it has never failed-is entire
ly satisfactory to her, She has always had
good luck" with it in making light, sweet
and delicious bread, biscuit and cake, and
has placed it, to stay, at the head of her
housekeeping favorites. She knows that
it has been officially approved by the Gov
eminent chemists as the best, and we imag-
inc that the baking powder tramp who at
tempts to supplant its place in her conf.
dence will find this bad year for his
business.
