When the square was very near the saw
he noticed it, and in order to get it before

The Duty Before Us.

We have already alluded to the impor-
lance OF housekeepers paving more at
tention to the kind of baking powder nsed in
leavening their bread. This is q matter to
which we cannot draw attention too often,
because it is something which involves the
most serious consequences to the general
body of mankind. Temperance apostles
tell us-and there is ample foundation for
the statement-Ghat there is disease, both
moral and physical. in the Intoxicating
cup; and in the same way there is disease,
slow perhaps. but certain, i'll The lime and
alum leayenlng agents employed in many
of the homes on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poisonous
alum and lime baking powders before the
public with the assurance that they are
pure and wholesome articles. In the be-
lief of the truth of such statements such
baking powders are largely used in the
preparation of food and in the way the
poisonous ingredients are t,ken into the
system without suspicion of their pres
ence. By and by come spells of headache.
distress in the stomach. loss of appetite. a
futtering of the heat; the child is seized
with an apparently causeless cough. The
coating of the stomach is destroyed, per-
haps; one of the vital organs is rendered
almost useless: the kidneys are attacked
with Bright s disease. The health of the
child is irreparably broken down the adult
becomes chronic invalid. These are the
doings of the modern cheap baking pow
ders that are composed of lime and alum,
or that contain sulphuric 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-
tion of proper brand of baking powder.
She who does not do so, whether the neg
lect is the result of ignorance or reckless.
ness, cannot free herself from the respon-
sibility for the healh, perhaps life, thereby
endangered. No housewife need be igno-
rant 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
unprecedented, have been published and
show very clearly the quality and strength
of all the baking powders in the market
Tie Royal Baking Powder, which is &C
oessible at every hand, is reported abso-
lutely free from lime, alum. phosphate
acid. or any injurious ingredient. 1t is
further stated by the most eminent au-
thorities on food hygiene that food leaven
ed with it is more wholesome than when
raised by any other method. Its use is
therefore to be commended. 1t is to be
regretted that no other baking powder,
when there are so many in the market,
some of which will find their way into use.
is free from all of these substances. The
official analysts assure us, however, that
all except the Royal contain either lime Or
alum. The honsekeeper who regards the
health of her loved ones should not only
order the Royal, but make personal ex
animation to be sure that no other brand
is sent her in Its place.

A FIREMEN,s CONTENTION.
A Proposition 10 Encrease the Chic
Engincer,s salary.

A Proposition 10 Encrease the CHIEF
KInginccr's salary.
A convention of fire companies was
held in the house of the Delaware Truck
90. Thursday night to discuss the adyi9a-
pility of asking Council to increase the
salary Of the chief engineer TO an amount
large enough that he can devote bis entire
time TO the city. The call was issued by
the Delaware Company, and, in response,
all of tho companies bad three delegates
present. All Of the delegates were In.
structed except the Friendship.
A general discussion OF the matter took
place and the sentiment OF the delegates
was strongly against any such action as
ptooosed. Two OF the Delaware dele
oates were the only ones known to be
openly in favor ofthe increase. One OF the
pbmnix delegates announced that Chief
Engineer MeOracken was satisfied with
hia selarv and wanted no increase. A
Reliance delegate uttered similar senti-
ments on behalf Of Assistant Engineer
Kane.
MANY of the members of the fire de.
uartmen. are in favor OF the increase, but
they desire that Council shall take the
NECESSARY ptep Voluntarily, and not only
increase tho salary but also provide o
horse and carriage for the engineer, go
that he shall be ready at ell times TO re-
spopd to any alarm. Some OF them cieiM
that the matter could ba economically
done by making the lineman chief eHgl'
neer and increasing his Halary slightly.
Seeing that they could arrive at nothing
definite, ono Of the members moved 70
adjourn, which was carried, and was .ne
oniy real business done by the conVen-

Victor Il. Pyle Sunday broke the ex-

record was only % hours old before b.
F. Mcdaniel lowered it again, thus con-
stituting MIN the present champion. Pyle
and ". q. Seeds started from Market street
bridgeat 8 O'clock and reached Kirkwood,
l4l miles, iu hour and minutes. Here
Pyle took the lead and reached Middle
town in hour and 54 minutes, with
Seeds several minutes behind. This beats
Merrihew's record, made two weeks ago,
by minute and IS seconds. Mcdaniel,
Merrihew, Clarence Elliott and Albert
Jeffevis started from Market street bridge
at 10. 80 O'Clock on the same record
breaking mission. The frat three re-
mained we'll b1nohed until Red Lion was

others had given up the chase at Kirk
wood and Elicit did not arrive until 10
minutes later, while Merrihew and

Although no doubt is placed on these
records in the rnsin they have the one
great objection of having been timed by
the riders making tine records. The vari-
GUS claims made will probably result 10 o
challenge from MerSinew or Mcdaniel to
