Two STREETS. There are two new streets
under consideration by parties interested IN
the land that will thus become available as
building lots; we may say that three courses
have been suggested, but ofthese, two refer
to the same street that is, but one street
will be the result while two courses are be-
ing advocated The one on which all agree
is, East-st extended through the other pro-
poses the widening of the alley that leaves
f. Main st between the Reformed Church
and Mr.. T. W. Logs property. 1t has been
suggested that the latter street he opened
North from f. Main-st beginning between
Mr.. G. d. Keyser's and Mrs. II. j. Krse's
properties
Should ono or more of the fine promises
for the advancement of the interests Of this
town that are now possible be fulfilled in
the near future, additional unmproved
street front will become necessity and two

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Danger Before Us.

We have already alluded to the
Importance OF housekeepers paying
more attention to the kind of baking
powder used in leavening their bread.
This is matter to which we cannot
draw attention too often, because it
is something which involves the most
serious consequences to the general
body of mankind. Temperance apos-
ties tell us-and there is ample foun-
dation for the statement-that there
is disease, both moral and physical,
in the Intoxicating cup; and in the
same way there is disease, slow per-
haps, but certain, in the lime and
alum Ieavening agents employed in
many of the homes on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for
those manufacturers who place these
poisonous lime. and alum baking
powders before the public with the
assurance, that they are pure and
wholesome articles. In the belief Of
the truth of such statements such
baking powders are largely used in
the preparation of food and in this
way the poisonous ingredients are
taken into the system without sus-
picion of their presence. BY and by
comes spells of headache, distress in
the stomach, loss of appetite, fut-
tering of the hearth the child is
seized with Jan apparently causeless
cough. The coating of the stomach
is destroyed, perhaps; one of the
vital organs is rendered almost use
less; the kidneys are attacked with
Brights disease. The health of the
child is irreparably broken down !;
the adult becomes chronic invalid.
These are the doings of the modern
cheap baking powders that are com
posed of lime and alum. or that con-
tain sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts surely all
housewives should exercise the care
that is, we know, now exercised by
some in the selection of proper
brand of baking powder. She wlio
does, not do so, whether the neglect
of ignorance or recklessness, cannot
free herself from the responsibility
for the health, perhaps life, thereby
endangered. No housewife need be
ignorant of the quality and compost
tion of the article which she uses to
leaven her bread, biscuit and cake.
The official reports of the govern
ment chemists, who are certainly un-
prcjudiced, have been published and
show very clearly the quality and
strength of all the baking powders in
the market. The Royal Baking
Powder, which is accessible at every
hand, is reported absolutely free
from lime, alum, phosphate acid, or
any injurious ingredient. 1t is fur
ther stated by the most eminent au-
thorities on food hygiene that food
leavened with it is more wholesome
than when raised by any other meth
cd. Its use is therefore to be com
mended. 1t is TO be. regretted that
no other baking powder, when there
are so many in The market, some of
which will find their way into use, is
free from all of these substances
The official analysts assure us,
however, that all except the Royal
contain either lime or alum. The
housekeeper who regards the health
of her loved ones should not only
order the Royal. but make personal
examination to be sure that no other
brand is sent her in its place.

BIG SCHEMES.
The Edwards Co. Begin Building Z
Mammoth Mill

Croakers who have laughed at those pro-
phesying the Augusta boom will now have
an opportunity to reflect Final plans for
the construction of additions to the Edwards
cotton mill arrived yesterday morning and
work was commenced in breaking ground.
The additions will be made to the weave
shop. The new mill on the upper end is to
be 276 feet long and four stories high. 1t
was first intended to build out in a straight
line from the weave shop, but as this would
necessitate running out into the river to
considerable distance the plans were changed
SO that the east walls of the new mill at the
from the east wall of the weave shop. The
northerly end of this new structure which
will run quite distance into the river Is to
be built of solid granite to withstand the force
with which logs in coming down the river
are liable to be driven against it. The
building on the southeast end Of the weave
shop will be constructed with its walls paral-
lei with those of the weave shop. 1t is to
be four stories in height and 800 rect long
There will then be mill over 800 feet long
The whole plant will contain about 100000
spindles. This will necessitate the coming
to Augusta of at least 1900 souls. Twenty
Ave corporation houses will have to be erect
ed to accommodate this addition to the cltys
population Several 100 900 tons of granite
will be required in the construction of the
new mill. This granite is to come from the
company's quarry. They have purchased
new steam drill for the quarry that will do
the work of at least twenty-five strikers. All
the men that can work to advantage will be
put on the last of this week. 1t is hoped
that the foundation wi Il be laid and the first
story completed and rooted in before the
coming winter.

A special meeting of the aldermen was
called by the mayor Saturday morning to
determine whether the rails now being laid
by the horse railroad company would be ac-
ceptable to the city. 1t has been asserted
that these rails would be a much greater
obstacle to teams attempting to cross than
the fiat rail usually laid by horse railroad
companies, but it was demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the aldermen that they would
be much more convenient for teams than the
ordinary fat rail, in the paved portion of the
road from the upper College street crossing
to the terminus at the post-office. The top
of the rail will be flush with the paving and
the space for the fange Of the car wheel on
the inner side of the rail will be so small that
it will be impossible for carriage wheel to
get caught in it.

The New Woman Craze.

If there is anything that will enhance her
beauty. durability or smartness. the average
woman goes for it. for men have got to be-
leve that a nervous, broken down girl is
good for nothing as wife, if he is obliged
to hire an Irish girl and doctor as adjuncts
to his domestic affairs. In view of that,
marriages are not as common as they used to
be. and divorce is popular. The girls are no
fools. and see it. To be a helpmeet or moth
ing. is the question. The consequence is
gymnastics. walking. etc, and now they have
got on to a Nerve Food called Moxie, that
