Here is piece OF advice that we clip from
an exchange. 1t is good for any and all
towns and cities: "There is one thing that
the property holders of every city should
bear in mind. It is, that what is good for the
whole city is money in the pockets of the pro-
perty holders If that city. Contributing TO
any enterprise that will benefit the city, i
enhancing the value of their property: This
NAV come in the form of taxation on the pro-
perty, or by direct subscription, hut tle rule
hC'ds the same. So do not fail 70 seize every
opnortunity to push your city to the front,
and by all means do not be "a kicker against
ANYTHING Eecessary to the improvement OF
your city. Don't be mossbaek."

We are pleased to observe that many of our

to the establishment their premises. Among
those who have made recent improvements in
that direction we may mention Messrs r.

Bod odemuller, j. w. jackson, G. W. Moriarty.
Auguste Perrodin, C. N. Ealer, S. Jacobs and
Sol Isaac Let the good work go on. Money
thus spent is well invested. Our streets. too,
and particularly our sidewalks should re-
see to this at once. A liberal use of paint
and whitewash would improve the appear
anee of things about town wonderfully. and
they should be applied without delay, even
if there was no better reason for such action
than the fact that we will soon be sub
jected to the searching gaze of all the news
saper men in the State, who, while they might
lot be disposed to fview us with critics
eye can scarcely be expected to ''pass all

Why Baking Powders Are Best
[From HalEs Journal of Health. !

From Hdlrs Journal of Health.)
Baking powders properly compounded
and containing pure cream of tartar, are
more convenient than yeast, and bread and
pastry made with them are just as whole
some, and far more palatable.
We are in entire sympathy with the man
ufacturers of the Royal Baking Powder
who commenced and are vigorously con.
Quoting the war against the use of adultera-
ted baking powders.
Before committing ourselves, however
we made tests of sufficient number OF
baking powders to satisfy ourselves that
the substitution of alum for cream of tartar
in their composition has not been over-esti-
mated, while a careful examination of the
Royal Baking Powder confirms our belief
that DIR, Mott, the Government Chemist
when he. singled out and commended this
powder for its whOlesomeneSs did it wholly
in the interests of the public.
We do not hesitate to say that the Royal
Baking Powder people deserve the graft,
tude of the community whom they are en-.
deavOring to protect.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people, it i
somewhere. Few. if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and popu-
larity as has marked the progress of BRAN.
DRETH,s BILLS, which, after trial of over
fifty years, are conceded to be the safest
and most effectual blood purifier, tonic and
alternative ever introduced to the public.
BRANDRETHs PILLS perform all that is
claimed for them, is cOuclusively proved by
the fact that those who regard them with
the greatest favor are those who have used
them the longest.
