Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and

in the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head,
causing Catarrh. Now all this is danger

Marion Harlaud's Opinion Of
Baking Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the
scientists and hygienists as to the
relative value of the various baking
powders. A careful sitting of the evil
dence leaves no doubt as to the sup
eriority of the Royal Baking Pow
der in purity, wholesomeness and
strength, from scientific stand
point. 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 writers upon matters per-
tanning to the science of domestic
economy Of housekeeping, and
home cooking. In a recent letter to
the Philadelphia Ladies Home Joar-
nal, this writer says:
81 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 other in making
biscuits, cakes, etc, and have entire
ly discarded for such purposes 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 contents have
complete satisfaction. 1t is an act of
simple justice, and also a pleasure,
to recommend it unqualified to
American housewives. Marion Har-

was seen toward the end of October
near Treptow, in Prussia, when a
powerful south wind plew the
waters of the Baltic away from the
shore, uncovering a portion of
ground usually hidden from sight by
the waves. 1t was the ruins of the
city of Regamuende, once Il hurish-
ing commercial station, which was
swallowed by the sea some five CEN

enjoyed for but a few hours, when
the storm slackened and the waves

A Good Suggestion.

The Tennessee Bar Association,
notice, recommends a change in the
present system of County Courts. The
County Courts, as they now are, are
cumbersome and expensive, and the
Bar Association suggests that in each
county the court be made to consist OF
three or five members, presided over
by county judge OF required legal
qualifications. L 3D.
1t is Also recommended that the law
and equality courts be consolidated.
These are good suggestions, and, il
carried out, would workla great saving
to the people. Fdd8 i- nf
Your correspondent would suggest
another idea in connection with the
above. Let the County Court consist
Of five members, presided over by q
county judge, both judge and mem
bers tn be elected by the people al
SUCH On the first Monday in eacl
month the court, so constituted, viii
perform the duties as now required
and the county judge, once a month
hold term OF criminal court to try al
offensese except those known as capi
tai cases, allowing, of course, the righ
of appeal to the Circuit Court.
This would not only be Of great ad
vantage to parties in civil causes, b,
clearing the Circuit Court dockets 0
the small criminal cases, but woulc
prove a great benefit to the tax-pay
