INDIE POSTPONED

CHICAGO, March 21.-The Chicago. Bur-
hhgton & Quincy, after having announced
an advance in freight rates to all points On
its system, beginning April l, postponed
today indefinitely the restoration. The
ostensible reason is that the company has,
so far, owing TO the switchmen's strike,
found it impossible TO move freight in anv
quantity, and therefore its patrons have
not had the advantage that the cut rates
have given competitors on other roads.

Why Baking Powders are Hest.
lFrom Halps Journal of Health.l

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 wholesome and far more palatable.
 We are in entire sympathy with the manu- lecturers of the Royal Baking Powder who commenced and are vigorously conducting the war against the use of adulterated baking powders.
 Before committing ourselves, however, we made tests of sufficient number of baking powders to satisfy ourselves that the substi- tuition of alum for cream of tartar in their composition has not been over-estimated while careful examination of the Royal Baking Powder confirms our belief that Dr. Mott, the government chemist, when he sin gled out and commended this powder for it's wholesomeness, did it wholly in the interests of the public.
 We do not hesitate to say that the Royal of the whom they are re0 ende"1or ing to protect.

Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease.

Insanity is hered. 1tary in marked degree, but, fortu. nately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.

To Put Out Chimney Fires.

Zinc, placed upon the fire in stove or grate, is said to have proved itself an effective ex- tinguisher of chimney fires. To a member of the Boston fire department is reported to be due the credit of successfully introducing this simple scheme. When a fire starts in- side chimney, from whatever cause, piece of thin sheet zinc, about four inches square, is merely put into the stove or grate con meeting with the chimney. The zinc fuses and liberates acidulous fumes, which, passing up the flue. are said to almost instantly put out whatever fire there may be there. It certainly sounds simple enough.-Fire and Watar

We sympathize with the feeling which of ten leads citizens to boast that no child born in this country need grow up in ignorance, and yet it is a fact that many people who have learned to read and write have never taught themselves to think.
