ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.

The value of the phosphate of lime to
the human system is everywhere &C
knowledged by the highest scientific
authorities. This substance is found in
wheat and other cereals, and constitutes
the vital of nutritive element therein.
Indeed, it may be truly said to be the
essential and vitalizing constituent of all
grains. If grains are deprived of their
phosphates, their life-sustaining proper
ties are withdrawn in the same proper
ton. 1t is well.known fact that fine
white -four is deprived of large portion
of the phosphates in the process of
boiling, and that such -four alone will
not sustain life. 1t was a happy idea of
Prof. Horsford to restore DEMONSTRATING

baking powder, and his famous prepare

other articles that are far more light,
white and wholesome than it is possible
to produce by any other process. The
virtues possessed by this preparation
should commend it to all careful and
economical housekeepers. In report
on the relative value of the various bak.

the Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
says: "Unless a phosphate form one

there is no residue left of nutritive

move in lower strata of society. It
is by no means impossible that at no
distant day the order of good society
will be greatly changed, when those
whose occupations in life contribute
most to the necessities and comforts of

Within few weeks past there has
been quite an effort to bring Judge
Greshem before the people as the prop
er candidate for the Presidency
Judge Greshem may be just the man
for the position, but the people gener-
ally do not appear to be familiar with
his history. The question is some
times heard by people who pass for
we'll informed, what have been the dis
tinguished traits of Judge Greshem's
public life which entitle him 10 be put
in nomination for the highest Office in
the gift of the American people :?
Every man, not only in the populous
towns, but in the far back country, is
familiar with the names of Blaine and
Lincoln; but since these both decline
to be candidates, the masses of the
people who keep less posted in regard
to public men will have to educate
themselves in respect to new candi-
dates. Judge Greshem has creditable
endorsers, who have known him a life
long, and who bear testimony to his
qualification and fitness.

WASHINGTON CITY.

The following paragraph appears in
the Washington Critic:
"There is no place in the United
States of the size of Washington, and
it would BIZ safe to say that there is no
place in the world of its population,
that is so free from necessary suffer
ing as is this community. The work
ing people are better paid and have
fewer hours of labor than those of any
other city in the world. The negro
population is the most impoverished of
our people, but they are better paid,
better housed, better fed and better
clothed than any similar number of
their race in the world"
This happy condition of the popula-
ton of Washington is not altogether
due to the enterprise and management
of the people of that city. No city in
this country or perhaps in the world
has fewer heavy burdens of taxation
than Washington, while at the same
time no city in the Union has so many
expensive improvements. Its hand
somely furnished parks, statuary
smooth asphalt streets, propagation
garden, Smithsonian Institute and
numerous other objects of interest, at
traction and public utility are all or
chiefly all provided at the expense Of
the national Government. Washing.
ton is fortunate in having a rich pro-
wider.

Mr.. M. s. Hamlin, one Of the best known
insurance men in North Carolina, writes
from Winston, as follows: ever since
was seven years of age I have had what
the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling. My hip was drawn
out of place. There was swelling at the
knee-joint, where there is profuse run
ming, which has been there for years. Of
course this has greatly depleted my sys-

the leg bone. I tried every known blood
purifier to build up my system, but none
did me good until took S. S. S. use it

GREAT SWAMP DRAINING EN-
TERPRISE IN RACINE AND
WAUKESHA COUNTIES.

A number Of towns in the counties
of Racine and Waukesha have COM
menced the work of constructing
canal about twelve miles in length,
commencing in Waukesha county, and
having its outlet into the Fox River,
at Rochester, Racine county. The canal
will be thirty feet wide at the top and
fourteen feet wide at the bottom, six
feet deep. The object of the canal is
to drain fifteen thousand acres of now
swamp and overlooked lands. and con-
now almost worthless. The
value Of the fifteen thousand acres, it
is said, is not worth over a dollar per
acre, but when the canal shall have
drained the land it is estimated it will
be worth not less than forty dollars.
So that land now worth $4,000 will
after drainage be worth six hundred
thousand dollars. Such, at least, is
the estimate Of those interested in the
enterprise. An act of the legislature
authorizes the taxation of the owners
of land to pay the cost of the canal
which of course, will be large ex-
pense, but it is believed that the in
creased value of the lands will greatly
exceed the expense.

FARMERS, INSTITUTES.

The interest in Farmers Institutes
has been kept up through the past
winter months and to the present
time without abatement. In no previ-
Gus year since the Institutes were or
ganized has there been so much enthu-
slasm. These farmers schools, as they
have been called, have not been mere
pastimes, but seasons of pecuniary
profit. The knowledge that has been
impaired to the farmers has money
value. He who makes two spears OF
grass grow where before there was but
one has been called a benefactor. This
is only a limited illustration. But it
is reasonable to estimate that the i'm
proved farming methods of feeding
and caring for stock. including sheep
husbandry, will add handsome per
cent to the same amount of labor as
before.

MORE CHURCH JUBILEEs.

The Methodists were the first to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
their church organization in this town.
which occurred few months ago. 1t
proved to be a complete success, and
passed off to the satisfaction of the
Methodist people and their friends who
participated in the exercises on the oc-
casion. Last week came the Baptist
jubilee, they having completed their
first half century of church organiza-
ton. They were fortunate in secnr-
ing good attendance of ex-pastors of
the church with other clergymen, and
letters of congratulation from many
former members of the church now in
distant parts Of the country. They
happily made their anniversary con-
duce to the raising of funds to aid in
the building of a new church
enterprise in which they have the best
wishes of the churches for success.
The anniversary half century of the
Congregational church will occur on
the 25th of June next. The church has
already voted to suitably commemorate
that event, and a committee for that
purpose has accordingly been chosen.

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

1t has been so repeatedly charged
that prohibition in Iowa does not pro-
hibit, the legislature row in session
has been intent on amending the law,
80 as to better insure its enforcement
and guard against evasiors. There
is strong majority in Iowa in favor
of the triumph of prohibition, but
there is division of sentiment how
best to reach the result. Some of the
large breweries in that state which
persisted in disobeying the law were
recently proceeded against and found
no protection for their property in
the decision of the Supreme Court,
and were glad TO compromise by pay
ing costs, save their establishments
from confiscation, and be allowed to
move their effects out of the state. If
prohibition does not finally succeed in
Iowa then it will not in any state.
There will probably be violations of
the law prohibiting the sale. Just as
there are of all other laws. There is
not a law on the statute books for the
prevention of crime and wron g-doing
which is not violated, and often with
frequency. Wisconsin is unlike Iowa
in the character Of its population; a
large percentage of the inhabitants in
this state are from portions of Europe
where the habits and customs are UNI
like the native population of this coun-
try. The principle of abstinence from
the use of intoxicating liquors began to
be advocated a half century ago in the
United States. In most Of Europe
but little has been done in that di-
rection. A prohibitory law, however
much demanded in the interest of hu.
manity, needs an educated public senti-
ment to carry it into effect. Laws for
the suppression Of evils, however wise,
do not enforce themselves; they need
the people behind them to render them
effective. Temperance people are con.
fronted by the important question, is
Wisconsin sufficiently educated to sus.
tain prohibition? No doubt all friends
Of temperance and good order are
pleased to know the work of education
is going on.

REPUBLICAN STATE LEAGUE.

A convention of Republican clubs
assembled at Madison on Thursday
last, the 10Th of March, to organize a
State Republican League. The con-
yention was largely attended, over TOO
delegates being present from different
parts of the state. The League is de
signed to be permanent institution,
holding its regular meetings every two
years in the city of Milwaukee, it's
object being to encourage the forma-
ton of town or county clubs and the
dissemination of intelligence which
shall benefit the people. The conven-
tion was represented by many of the
leading Republicans in the state. John
G. Spooner was chosen President of
the League for the next two years.
Mr.. Spooner, who is one of the u. S.
Senators now in Washington, was tele-
graphed for his consent to serve, and
returned a favorable answer. Nine
Vice-Presidents were chosen, answer.
ing one to each Congressional district;
also nine members of executive COM
mittee, of which Charles E. Balm, of
this city is one. C. d. Coe, of White
water, is the Vice-President from this
district. A platform of principles was
adopted, in which the grand old
of the party were proper
ly enough eulogized. 1t is good thing
to make frequent mention of what has
been accomplished, but it must not be
forgotten that the Republican party
rests its reputation on being the party
Of progress. Its past successful history
will not suffice, if it ceases to add new
for good government and |
smanity. There are stupendous prob
nfroLting it that cannot long !

THE EMPLOYMENTS OF WO-
MEN, AND FUTURE PRO
LIABILITIES.

The city Superintendent Of Schools
of Philadelphia says the time is at
hand when there will be added to the
public schools a cooking department.
There is an increasing demand for
good cooks; much of the comfort of
living and health is lost by the i'm
proper preparation of food. The su.
perintendent probably does not intend
to convey the idea that all schools
should have such department, but a
sufficient number to convenience the
general public. A woman proposing
to do service for pay in family would
command fifty per cent higher wages
if she held certificate from the Prin-
cipal of cooking establishment, show
ing her to be fully acquainted with the
science of cooking. tits reasonable to
conclude that educated cooks would be
as much sought after by families as
are good dress makers. When woman
cooks become educated in that branch
of household duties they will be as
much respected as those in other USE
full avocations, and indeed more so
than those who slide through the
world without being visibly useful in
any department of industry. The ex-
listing prejudice against those engaged
in any necessary occupation is sure to
die out; il is too absurd to be tolerated
by sensible people in any intelligent
The day is at hand when
there will be other passports to good
society, so called, than those by which

The snow storm in the East the early
part of last week was the worst ex-
perienced in thirty years. The cold was
intense for that section of country, and
about thirty lives were lost in New York
city alone. The victims included the
warmly clad merchant and the thinly
clad tramp. Business was paralyzed,
and the necessaries of life were hard to
procure at any price. Railroad and
telegraph communication were cut off
on all sides. Heavy snow storms pre-
vailed last week in England, France and
Germany and other eastern countries.
