FIVE HUNDRED MEN AT WORK
Trying to clean the streets of the City
 "A SIO.OOO Job.

Trying to clean the Streets of the City
 "A $1O,OO0 Job.
 At meeting of the beard of public works held yesterday morning measures were taken to meet the present emergency regarding the condition of the streets. The first consider ation is to relieve the impediments to the fire department in case of fire. The board voted to request cooperation of citizens in opening and keeping open the gutters and streets as far as possible. None of the snow can melt and run off in the sewers until the catch basins are cleared out. There are about 900 catch basins in the city. In case of a sudden thaw or rain, unless theEo basins are cleared, the streets would be submerged by a foot or more of water and many houses would be inundated It is the most important thing to clear the catch basins. All the available force of men in the boards employ were at work upon the catch basins early yesterday morning, and many of those in the center of the city were cleared during the day. The board voted to authorize the superintendent of streets to employ as many men and teams as can be found to set them at work clearing the streets with all possible dispatch. About 800 men were at work yesterday for the board of public works. Their efforts at present VIII De devoted to naRlnR paIu III the center of the principal business thor oughfares, so that teams may move and the fire engines could be moved if necessary. No snow wilt be carted away at present as the magnitude of such an undertaking is too great to even contemplate, but men shovel and beat down road in the streets. By noon Chapel street, from State to Church, had been made passable for teams. The board of public works will perform this la bor on Church, Chapel and State streets, Grand and Congress avenues, and other business thoroughfares. As soon as teams can be moved some carting will be done, when much can be gained. The snow will be dumped in the Green Barker 6 Ransom, J. H. Mcdonald and other citizens who own teams had them out aiding the department in beating roads Clerk F. H. Waldron of this board says that it will cost the city S10,000 at the lowest to do what work necessity requires in the way of clearing the streets. The board has no appropriation for this work, but in view of the emergency the board will do the work and ask for the appropriation after wards,

Why Baking Powders Are BeAt

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 ba- king powders.
 Before committing ourselves, however, we made tests of a 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 a careful examination of the Royal Baking Powder confirms our belief that pr. 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 Baking Powder people deserve the gratitude of the community whom they are endeavor- ing to protect.
