Heavy and sour bread or biscuit have a
vast influence through the digestive organs
upon the measure If health we enjoy. How
important to our present happiness ana
future usefulness the blessing Of good
health and sound constitution are, we
can only realize when we have lost them,
and when it Is too late to repair the dam
ages And yet, Notwithstanding these facts
thousands of people daily jeopardize not
only their health, but their lives, and
the healths and lives OF others, by using
articles in the preparation OF their food the
purity and healthfulness of which they
know nothing. Perhaps few cents may
have been saved, or it may have been more
convenient to obtain the articles used, and
the housekeepsr takoG the responsibility
and possibly will never know the mischief
that has been wrought, Paterfamiiias may
have spells of headache, Johnay may have
lost his appetite, Susie may look palei il
so, the true cause is rarely suspected. The
weather, the lack of outdoor air, or some
other cause, is given, and the uuwhole
some poisonous system of adulterated food
goes on. Next to the flour, which should
be made of good, sound wheat and moi
ground too fine, the yeast or baking pow
der, which furnishes the rising proper
ties, is of the greatest importance, and OF
the two we prefer baking powder, and al
wass use the Royal, as we thereby retain
the original properties OF the wheat, nofcr
mentation taxing place. The action OF th'
ROYAL Baking Powder upon the dough il
simply to swell it and form little cell
through every part. These cells are filled
with carbonic acid gas, which passes OF
during the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape aci'
and it is the action of this acid upon high
" carbonized bicarbonate of soda that gen
crates the gas alluded toi and these in
gradients are so pure and SO perfectly fitte'
| tested and adapted to each other, that tn
action Is mild and permanent, and Is con
tinued during the whole time OF baking
and no residue of poisonous ingredients re
mains to undermine the health, no heav
| biscuits, no sour bread, but II direction
are followed, every article prepared wit
the Royal Baking Powder will be foun
sweet and wholesome

Quite an excitement was created on Main
street last Saturday morning by the loud
screams of woman and little girl. They
were IN the Poor house wagon, and Super
intendent Mcbride drove the team while
Constable Woodward held the woman's
hands. She is the wife of Geo. Dodson
who does not live with her, and it was re-
ported to Officer Woodward that she was
living in an old building in Rabbtown with
out food or proper clothing and that she
abused her child An order of relief was
taken out but before they went for her she
got on alcanal boat and went to Berwick.
She was sent back from there by the autho.
rites and on Saturday morning Superin-
tendant Mcbride and Poor Director Klein
went after her with the wagon, hut she
made such an outcry coming up Market
street that they let her get out. Finding
that she was about to leave town again,
the services of Constable Woodward were
secured, and she was taken to the poor
house by force. 1t seemed like harsh
treatment. but under the circumstances
nothing better could be done, for if left to
herself she would have wandered off and
become q charge on some other district
which would have sent her back here with
big bill of COSTS.

II there was a case of cruelty to animals
one was seen at corner of Third and Centre
streets Saturday afternoon of last week
A man was driving down Third street
with horse and truck wagon; he was carry
ing an umbrella to shield himself from the
driving rain. AS he was about to cross at
the corner of Centre his umbrella was
blown from his hands and driven in front
of the horse. The horse became frightened
and would not pass while the umbrella lay
there broken by the wind and beating rain
The driver bega n beating the horse. Sew
eral times he was demonstrated with by peo-
pie near by, but he continued his rude work
until the horse ran against the gas lamp
post and broke the lamp; then he walked
out, picked up his umbrella, and drove on
without any trouble. He will have new
lamp to buy; but this will hardly suffice
for such fool-hardy work. If the proper
officers would have arrested him and i'm
posed heavy fine it would have been just
what he deserved.

Experience demonstrates that the best
results are given by IRON laid in sheets, with
the joints so constructed as TO allow for
expansion and contraction, and fastened
by device which avoids mailing or rivet-
ing through the sheets. This is the kind
Of roofing made by the Pittston Iron Roof
ing Co., who have advertised in these col
umns for some months. They make sew
eral styles, corrugated and plain, plain or
calamined, the latter being similar in ap-
pearance to galvanized iron. 1t is said
that these roofs are,better and cheaper than
tin, shingles or slate, and they can be laid
by ordinary mechanics. The sheets are
also, used for siding. They are msnufac-
tured in large quantities and shipped to all
parts of the country, being extensively
used on coal breakers, mills and other large
buildings, as well as on stores, dwellings,
barns, sheds, etc. In and about Pittston
they are used on every hand. Their popu-
larity at home is a strong testimonial to
their excellence.
