PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Jan, Q. 1888

I3m Uanamakey to his
friends eoe1y7ohere..
*We mark 1887 with star
in the history of our business.
The bright and good old year |
fades out, but not SO its exper-
fences and encouragements.
Ten thousand thanks to those
who helped to crowd the year
with gratifying incident.
Accept our most hearty good
wishes and cordial congratula-
tons.
The impetus given by the
great current of events dashing
through last year carries Us for
ward to attempt larger things
for the new year.
1888 shall be indeed a leap
year: better service and useful
ness in every direction.
In this lightning age we
cannot rest on past achieve
ment or crawl laggard-like
along.
Not even for one day shall
the store go into winter quar-
tiers after its busy season. but
with tomorrow, the first full
business day of the new year,
we shall open the new cam
paign.
Circumstances combine to
help US do some fine things
for our friends from the begin
ming of the new year.
We haven't more than a sim
gle sentence to say about great
sales. We are making them
every day. That's what the
store is for. We always have
lots of goods that are marked
down.
A daily drum-beat calls up
all the old soldiers of goods
and gives them a double-quick
step toward the door.
So, then, note the fact that,
no matter what the reason,
there can always be found here
lots and lots of good things as
cheap, and often cheaper, than
elsewhere-reduced from day
to day because they must be
closed out.
We cannot wait for a certain
month to sell down, but con-
tinually watch, like the look
out on the ship. We seek the
open channel of quickest pro-
! gress and steer clear of all that
5 stops our way.
> Now, then, let us strike the
> keynote of the new year.
; With might and main we grasp
the ropes and, as we haul, ring
; out loud and long

the latter reason of the two was probably
the controlling one with him.
Whatever be the reason, however, it
must be seen that Mr.. Blaine is not
playing fast and loose with the party, or
with the parts of speech. He does not mean
to be a candidate under any conceivable
circumstances. His last letter will serve
to clear the situation. The Chicago con
vention will not be Il caucus of shouters,
but meeting of representative republi-
cans, assembled to compare notes and
weigh the strength of various candidates.
The nominee will be the man who will
most surely command the entire voting
strength of the party, and who will be
able to lead it in an aggressive and sue
cessful campaign against the democratic
party, entrenched though it be behind the
breastworks of federal patronage, and
using with desperation every arm of po-
litical warfare.

a QUESTION oFHEALTH.



This plain question comes home to every
house Keeper. We all desire pure and
wholesome food, and this cannot be had
with the use of impure or poisonous bak-
ing powder, There can be no longer a
question that all the Cheaper, lower grades
OF baking powders contain either alum
llne or phosphate acid. AS loath as we
may he to admit so much against what
may have been some of our household
gods, there can be no gainsayng the nm
anlmous testimony Of the official cbemi +
Indeed analysts seem to find no baking nov
der entirely free from some one of these
objectionable ingredients except the
Royal ana that they report as chemically
pure. We find some of the baking pow
ders advertised as pure, to contain, under
the tests of Professors Chandler. Habir-
shaw and others, nearly twelve per cent
OF lime, While others are made of alum
with no cream of tartar This, we pre-
sumo, accounts for their lack of leavening
power DIS a1metlmeI complained of by the

biscuits 50 frequently complained of by
But aside from the inferlority of the
work done by these powders, the pbvsic-
lanS assure us that lime and alum taken
INTO the system in such quantities as this
are Injurious. Their physiological effects
are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things; Alum is three cents a pound
lime still cheaper while cream OF tartar
costs thlrty-live or forty. The reasons for
the chemical purity OF the ROYAL Baking
powder were recently given in the New

OF new method for refining ARGOS. or

only under this process that cream of tar
