prohibition Lectures.

On Saturday night, Hon. Samuel Dlckie. of
Michigan City, Michigan, Chairman of the
National Prohibition Committee, delivered a
lecture on prohibition in the U. B. Church and
the friends of that cause were SO well pleased
with it that they agreed to engage the Opera
House for lecture on Monday night If he
would agree to deliver another lecture at that
time and place. He consented, and on Mon
day night, in the Opera House. to very large
audience, he delivered another lecture, and for
the space of an hour and three quarters he
held the undivided attention of all who were
present. The logical manner of his discussion
of his subject, and the good temper and spirit
he manifests, make him an interesting and
entertaining speak er who eXcites no feelings
of resentment on the part of any of his audi
ence whether they agree with him or not. He
presents his views boldly and clearly and has
happy manner of illustrating them. His
language is fluent and his style quite graceful,
and his ideas original and striking. He main
tained that there was no great dominant idea
around which either of the great political
parties rallie&-that there was but little differ
ence in their principles-that neither could
deal successfully with the saloon question
that they had served their time, and should
give way to a new party-the prohibition par
ty-that would abolish the saloons and be ma
! tional and non-sectional in its character.
| Neither the Democratic nor the Republican
party is prohibition party. The Democratic
party honestly confesses that it is not prohi-
bition party. The Republican party claims to
be so when it is not, and thus adds cowardice
and hypocrisy to its guilt, making it more
guilty than the Democratic party.
| II what Mr.. Dickie says be true. it proves
! that the great difference between the two
great parties on the subject of prohibition,
is that the Dem ocratic party is honest and the
Republican is not, and this is equally true
with reference 10 other questions of public in
terest, and this furnishes a good and sufficient
reason why the people should prefer the
Democratic to the Republican party, even If
| there were no others. aud they are as "plenti-
| fol as black berries in June"

satisfactory Mr.. Fl. is now putting them
through drying process. and they still retain
their size and weight and. after period Of IS
days, there is no discoloration or change ofthe
features. His first experiment of that method
was in eggs, and they still retain their fresh
ness after twelve months test. He also has
vegetables of last years growth that were put
up by this new process. The corn was left on
the cob, and is now as fresh and milky as
when pulled from the stock, Fox and Concord

are in the same condition rs first gathered.
He has chunk of beef butchered last Septem-
Der that under this process without the aid OF
salt or any other curative agent, remains as
fresh and juicy as when slaughtered.
Should this new invention prove entirely
satisfactory, 1T will be a great improvement
over the present mode of preserving vegetables
and meats.

Counterfeiting a Baking Powder.

The public is too well informed as to the dam
ger from alum baking powders to need any
caution against using them. 1t Is, neverthe-
less, a fact that many Of our most prudent and
careful housekeepers are, withsut knowing it,
using these deleterious articles daily, and from
them preparing for their families food which,
were they aware of its nature, they would not
offer to beggar. Baking powders made from
burnt alum cost less than four cents pound.
When these can be worked off in place of the
Royal Ialking Powder, and sold for forty or
fifty cents pound. there are many manufac-
turers and dealers sufficiently interruptions
to do 1t.
A favorite method of selling these poisonous
alum baking powders is by placing them In an
empty Royal Bak ing Powder oen and weigh
ing them out in small quantities when the
Royal Baking Powder Is called for by custom
ers. The grocer, II questioned claims that he
buys in large packages at q lower rate, and is
thus able to sell below the price of the goods in
small cans. All baking powders sold in this
way are entitled to suspicion. Analyses of
many of them have been made with view to
a prosecution, and in all cases they have been
found largely adulterated and generally made
from poisonous sburnt alum. This is selling
counterfeit goods. and is, of course, an offence
against the law. We are glad to know that the
ROYAL Baking Powder Company have taken
the matter in hand, and are acting in a way
that will protect the public from the swindle.
The surest protection from this fraud is for
the housekeeper to buy the baking powder of
the brand she wishes in the original unbroken
package looking carefully to see that the label
has not been tempered with. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company announce. what is well
known, that their goods are packed for the
convenience of consumers in cans of various
sizes, but are never sold in bulk, by the barrel
or loose by weight or measure. The cans are
securely sealed with the company's trade mark
label, and the weight of each package stamped
on the cover. Any baking powder being ped
died out by weight under the name of Royal
they denonnce as bogus and to be avoided.
Consumers should bear these facts In mind
If they do not wish to have imposed upon them
the poisonous alum stuff that is being profuse-
ly distributed throughout the country under
the name of baking powder. H.however. they
buy the Royal in cans with unbroken labels,
they are always sure of using baking powder
perfectly pure and wholesome, and of the
highest test strength and efficiency.
