READING, Pa, Jan. S.-Thc run Of coal
down the road since midnight was but 900
cars, while three weeksago today there were
shipped through this city q, 800 cars, drawn
by sixty-onc engines. At the car shops in
this city the books show that the number
Of coal cars in active service on the road is
about 10000. Nearly all Of these are now
lying ON the sidings in the coal regions.

boats engaged in tho coal carrying trade,
each containing several hundred tons OF
coal, became Ice bound. II was not OK.
pected that this coal could be moved be-
fore spring, but now every pound has been
boughtup. The Reading works purchased
several boat loads and were happily re-
lieyed from closing down. The informa-
ton received at the company's office in
this city tonight is that ,o-day's meetings
Of the strikers showed that there is no
break in the miners strike. Shamokin
appears TO be the hotbcd Of the present
strike. II IL there most general, both on
the railroad and in the mines, and II Is
there where the most feeling IL shown
against non.union men.
The new district assembly Of Reading
railroaders, which met recently in Eliza.
bethport, will be permanently organized
in this city next Sunday. II Is expected
that upon this occasion the railroaders will
more clearly define their position in the
present strike.
The miners will have delegates present,
and II is expected that they will express
themselves with no uncertain feeling.
Chairman Lee, Of the railroadcns' commit.
tee, and all OF the leaders Of the miners
strike have promised TO attend.
A delegation Of Knights from this city,
who had gone 10 pottsyillc, returned today
and reported that they had informed
Chairman Lee that the 1000 shop hands
in this city would not strike unless greater
cause was shown. A Sunday tour among
some Of the mining towns showed n re-
markablo feature Of the strike, and that IL,
that the women are just ~ enthusiastic
for a strike rs the men. In many eases
where husbands were lukcwarm thciI
wives urged them 10 strike. II N ostima
ted that the miners work only half th,
working DAYS in the year They make IN
an average between 500 and. tSslO year
Many do not make more tina $3.50 u year
Nearly all have large iamiliCv 10 support

We have already alluded to the importance
of ofhousekeepers paying more attention to the
kind ofbaking powder used in leavening their
bread This is a matter to which we cannot
draw attention too often, because it is some
thing which involves the most serious con-
sequences to the general body Of mankind, ,
Temperance apostles tell us-and there Is
ample foundation for the statement-that
there is disease, both moral and physical, in
the intoxicating cup; and in the same way
there is disease, slow perhaps, but certain.in

No punishment is too severe for those

truth Of such statements such baking pow
ders are largely used in the preparation Of
food and in this way the poisonous ingre-

cough. The coating of the stomach is de-
stroyed, perhaps; one of the vital organs is
rendered almost useless; the kidneys are at
tacted with Bright's disease. The health Of
the child is irTeparably broken down; the
adult becomes a chronic invalid. These are
the doings Of the modern cheap baking pow
ders that are composed of lime and alum, or
that contain sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view Of these facts surely all house
wives should exercise the care that is, we
know, now exercised by some in the selec.
ton of proper brand of baking powder.
She who does not do SO, whether the neglect
is the result Of ignorance or rrecklessness, can
not fee herself from the responsibility for
the health, perhaps life, thereby endangered.
No housewife need be ignorant of the quality
and composition Of the article which she uses
TO leaven her bread, biscuit and cake. The
official reports Of the government chemists.
who are certainly unprejudiced, have been
published and show very clearly the quality
and strength of all the baking powders i'll the
market. The Royal baking Powder, which
is accessible at every kand, is perfect, abso-
luteiy free from lime, alum, phosphate acid,
or any injurious ingredient. 1t is further
stated by the most eminent authorities on
food hygiene that food leavened with it is
more wholesome than when raised by any
other methed. Its use is therefore to be
commended. It is to be regretted that no
other baking powder, when there are so
many in the market, some ofwliich will find
their way into use, is free from all of these
substances. The official analysis assure us,
however, that all except the Royal contain
either lime or alum. The housekeeper who
regards the health of her loved ones should
not only order the Royal but make personal
examination to be sure that no other brand
is sent her in its place.
