The Railway Company
has just appreciation of the value of its
patrons, and its magnificent earnings are
the result of the good business tact which
characterizes the management of it's
affairs.
The popularity of the line is attested by
the fact that Notwithstanding the strong
est kind of competition of old and new
lines, the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
continues to carry fully sixty per
cent. of all the business between Chicago,
Milwaukee, st. Paul and Minneapolis. 1t
is the best patronized route to and from
all points in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Da.

its Kansas City line early in 1857, it will
take equal rank with the
older lines leading to and from the south

On all its through lines of travel the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
runs the most perfectly equipped trains of
Sleeping, Parlor, and Dining Cars and

A REMEDY FOR LUNG DISEASES.

Dr.. Robert Newton, late President of
the Eclectic College, of the City of New
York, and formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio,
used DIR. VIM. HALLS BALSAM very
extensively in his practice, as many of his
patients, now living, and restored to
health by the use of this invaluable medi-
cine, can amply testify. He always said
that SO good remedy ought not to be con-
sidered merely as a patent medicine, but
that it ought to be prescribed freely by
every physician as a sovereign remedy in
all cases of Lung diseases. 1t cures Con.
sumption, and all pectoral complaints.

"A certain editor of a weekly news

nothing more important to announce
than dog fight. One week every thing
was as dull as a Patent Office report,

follows: 1--WE stop the press to an
nounce that nothing has occurred since
we went to press of sufficient interest
to induce us to stop the press and an.

WHAT. BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE.

This plain question comes home to
every housekeeper. We all desire
pure and wholesome food, and this
cannot be had with the use of impure
or poisonous baking powder. There
can be no longer a question that all
the cheaper, lower grad~ of baking
powders contain either alum, lime or
phosphate acid. As 10th as we NAV
be to admit SO much against what
may have been some of our household
gods, there can be no gainsaying the
unanimous testimony of the official
chemists, Indeed, analysts seem to
find no baking powder entirely free
from some one of these Objectionable
ingredients except the Royal, and that
they report as chemically pure. We
find some of the baking powders adver-
tlsed as pure, to contain, under the tests
of Profs. Chandler, Habirshaw and 9TH
ers, nearly twelve per cent. of lime,
while other are made from alum with
no cream of tartar. This, we presume
accounts for their lack of leavening
power as sometimes complained of by
the cook, and for the bitter taste found
in the biscuits so frequently COM
planned of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders. the phys
biologists assure us that lines and alum
taken into the system in such guam
titles as this are injurious. They are
not decomposed by heat nor dissolved
in mixing or baking. They go with
the bread, therefore, into the stomach,
where their physiological effects are
Indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder makers
use these things? Alum is three cents
a pound, lime still cheaper. while
cream of tartar costs thirty-fve or
forty. The reason for the chemical
purity of the Royal Baking Powder
were recently given in the New York
Times in an interesting description of
new method for refining argols, or
crude cream of tartar. 1t seems that
it is only under this process that
cream of tartar can be freed from the
lime natural to it and rendered chem
ically pure; that the patents and plant
for this cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about half a million dollars,
and that they maintain exclusive
control of the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist
of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, ID. c., in the interests of
commerce, made an examination of
this process, and reported upon the
results attained in the refined cream
of tartar. The following extract from
his report would seem to answer the
question repeated at the head of this
article, and which is SO frequently
propounded by the house keeper:
81 have examined the cream of tar
tar used by the Royal Baking Powder
Company in the manufacture of their
baking powder, and find it to be per-
fectly pure, and free from lime in any
form. The chemical tests to which |
have submitted the Royal Baking
Powder prove it perfectly healthful,
and free from every deleterious sub
stance"
