Red Pepper and salt for Cholera.

A Massachusetts correspondent calls our
attention to the publication, about thirty
years ago, of very successful cholera cure,
introduced in this way: The captain of an
emigrant ship, coming from Europe, had
lost many of his passengers by cholera, al.
though freely dosing all who were sick with
a prescription of his own-one teaspooniul
of red pepper and II tablespoonful of salt to
a half pint of boiling water; this to be Civ
en- as hot as possible to every patient when
first taken. 1t is said that this simple rem
edy acted rs charm, curing all the cases
on board that ship, and attaining consider
able general popularity during the time of
that cholera visitation.

No article entering so generally into the
food OF every family has been found more
villanously adulterated than baking pow
der For the purpose of underselling those
powders OF absolute purity and wholesome
ness which alone are safe for use in food
hundreds of dealers are putting up baking
powders with cheap and adulterated cream
of tartar which contains lime, earth, etc,
adding strength by the free use of alum.
These adulterated powders are showed"
upon the public with the greatest persis-
tency. They are first given away-left in
samples at private residences, with circu-
lars containing bogus analyses and certifi-
Gates, and false representations rs to their
value, etc. This fact of itself is sufficient
To condemn them. A tirstclass article will
sell on its merits. NOmanufacturer whose
goods are of value can afford to give them
away, and none but the cheapest make and
most inferior or unmarketable goods re-
quire to be distributed free in order TO get
the public to use them, and this method Is
adopted only by pal ties who have failed to
dispose of their wares through the Ordina
ry and legitimate channels of trade.
Free samples of articles of food left at
the house should be regarded with suspi-
clOn. There is no guarantee of their
wholesomeness, while there Is real danger
that they contain IA fatally poisonous com,
pound Many instances of poisoning from
the use of such samples are recorded.
The only safe way is to consign all
such samples Immediately to the ash bar
rel, and to turn a deaf ear to the state
ments made by their vendors. 1t is not
worth while to triile with life and health
to the extent of testing every doubtful
baking power that comes along. Better to
rely upon an old and reliable brand, like
the Royal, which has 10y a quarter of a
century's constant use proved its perfect
wholesomeness and efficiency, or some
other brand that is not so worthless and
cheap that It's proprietors can afford to give
it away by the CARLOAD. 1t is in its favor
that the Royal Baking Powder is never
given away, sold by means of lotteries, nor
accompanied by chromos, spoons, crockery
or other gifts, except the gifts of absolute
purity, wholesomeness, full weight and SUI,
perlative leavening power. 1t own merits
have been its chief advertisement, and
they have secured for it the constant pa
tronage of the American people to an en-
tent beyond the combined sale of all other
baking powders. The Royal Baking Pow
der is certified by all the Government
chemists as absolutely pure and perfect

Washington Letter.
Regular Correspondence

WASHINGTON, April 9th, 1885.
The last week has been about the first
smile of spring that Washington has en-
joyed since the peculiar vernal weather
that favored President Cleveland's inaugu'
ration. The parks, lawns and shade trees
have resumed their garb of green and the
capital city never looked brighter and
fresher than II does now. Since many
thousands of shade trees have grown to an
outrageous height, Washington has much
improved as a summer residence, and 1t is
we'll 1t has, for the indications are that 1t
will be, for the next four years at least, the
enforced summer home of many who have
been in the habit of spending the hot sea-
son in the mountains or by the sea. Here
