hyeienists as to tile relative value of the va
rious baking powders. A careful sitting Of
the evidence leaves no doubt as to the super
iority of tile Royal Baking Powder in purity,
wholesomeness and strength. from scien-
tific standpoint An opinion, however that
will weigh heavier than any other with our
practical house-keepers, is that given by
Marion Harland, the best known and most
popular Of American writer's upon matters
pertaining to the science of domestic econ
omy, of house keeping, and home cooking,
In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Ladies
Home Journal, the writer says:
Il regard the Royal Baking Powder as the
best manufactured and in the market so far
as I have any experience in the use of such
compounds. Since the introduction of it
into my kitchen, three years ago, have
used no otlier in making biscuits cakes, ETC.,
and have entirely discarded for such pur-
poses the homemade combination of one
third soda, two-thirds cream of tartar.
every box has been in perfect condition
when it came into my hands, and the con-
tents have given complete satisfaction. It's
an act of simple justice, and also a pleasure,
to recommend it unqualifedly to American
housewives. MARION HARLAND.

JAMES H. BELL is interested in our
water navis cation, and if the vessel
owners and freighters really desire to
have the rivers mouth made naviga-
bic at all tides. they will second his
efforts in this direction. 1t is to his
efforts that the building Of our light
house should be credited, and if this
more difficult task was accomplished
by him, certainly the necessary work
of getting The engineers favorable re-
port for this much needed improve
ment, must be All easy task. 1t is, of
course, too late to get the money from
this Congress. but there is much pre-
liminary work necessary to be done
before the plans can be intelligentlY
laid open to Congress. To do this, it
will require practical 2ealousness on
the part of the vessel owners and
freighters of Milford and Cedar Creek
hundreds.

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; and wonderful aud delicate mechan-
isms arc devised to enable them TO do so.
But the more delicate chronometer is made,
the more subject it becomes to arrangement,
and unless it be kept always perfectly clean,
it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder,
then, that the human machine-so much
more delicate and intricate than any work Of
Mans should require TO be kept thoroughly
cleaused The liver is the handspring Of
this complex structure, and on the impuri-
ties left in the blood by a disordered liver,
depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to-
Even consumption (which is lung scrofula),
is treaceabIe to the imperfect action Of this
organ. Kidney diseases, sick headache,
heart disease dropsy, and long catalogue
of grave maladies have their origin in a tor
pid or sluggish liver, DR., Pieree's Golden
Medical Discovery, by establishing healthy,
normal action of the liver acts as a cure and
preventive Of these diseases.
