him up to the scorn and hatred of the

they ever knew. Never was man SO

counterfeiting a Baking Powder.

The public is too well informed as to the
danger from alum baking powders to need
any caution against using them. 1t is, never
theless, a fact that many of our most prudent
and careful hOuSekeepers are, without knowing
IT, using these deleterOus articles daily, and
from them preparing for their families food
which, were they aware OF its nature they
would not offer TO a beggar. Baking powders
made from burnt alum cost less than cents
a pound When these can be worked off in
place OF the Royal Baking Powder, and sold
for 40 or 90 cents a pound, there are many
manufacturers and dealers sufficiently unscrU-
pulous 10 do il.
A favorite method of selling these poisonous
alum baking powders is by placing them in an
empty Royal Baking Powder can and weighing
them out in small quantities when the ROYAL
Baking Powder is called for by customers. The
grocer, If questioned, claims that he buys in
large packages at 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 bees made with a view to prosecu-
uOh, and in all eases they have been found
largely adulterated and made from poisonous
burnt alum. This is selling counterfeit goods,
and is, of course, an offense against the law
We are glad to know that the Royal Baking
Powder Company have taken the matter in
hand, and are acting in way that will protect
the public from the swindle
The surest protection from this fraud is for
TIC HouSthtcpeT 70 Duy the Odkln9 POWER OF
the brand she wishes in the original unbroken
package, looking carefully TO see that the label
has not been tempered with. The Royal
Baking Powder Company announce what is
well known, that their goods are packed for
the convenience of consumers in cans of vari-
GUS 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 peddled out by weight under the name
Of Royal they denOunee as bogus aud 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 profusely
distributed throughout the country under the
name of baking powder. IL, however they buy
the Royal in cans with unbroken labels they
are always sure of using baking powder per
fectly pure and wholesome, and OF the highest
test, strength and efficiency.

HE ANARCHISTS
The Latest Plan to Effect the Release of
Those in Joliet.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Dr. Ernest Schmidt
chairman of the anarchist defense committee
said in an interview to-day: "1he pardon of
Neebe, Fielder and Schwab will not enter into
the present Illinois political campaign. If a
promise to grant executive clemency were made
by either candidate it would result in his de-
feat. am not in favor of pushing the move
ment for pardon at present and believe that
any attempt to secure one would compromise
the chances of the men. The anarchist defense
committee viii 20 before the circuit

ton for writ of habeas corpus
IN the case of Oscar Neebe. Ii is claimed that
errors have been discovered in the supreme
court record. Gen. Butler is quoted as saving
that Neebe has a fair chance OF being released.
AT q recent meeting of the Pioneer relief and
aid society a demand was made on the old
defense committee for the money in its posses
slon-about So coo. Frank Stauber refused and
explained that Neebe had a fair chance of
being released, ard that he was authorized to
hold the money for the purpose of employing
hrstciass legal talent. It is not claimed that any
errors have been found in the eases of Fielden
and Schwab In fact, the more rabid anarchists
have gone back on Fielden and Schwab for
negectIng to become martyrs"
