THE FIGHT FOR PURE BREAD.
Success Of the Efforts to scotch
bad baking powders.
The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company
upon the hosts Of adulterated and
impure baking powders sold through
out the country is having a desirable
effect. The scandalons attack upon
the Royal company by manufacture
ers of the impure goods (Which are
made doubtless both from spirit Of
revenge and in the hope Of break ing
the effect Of the damaging exposures
shows that they are hit, while the
Official reports which have comelrom
various public authorities fully COR
roborating the statements made by
the Royal company, have awakened
a wholesome public sentiment in
favor Of repressive laws, which
means mischiefto illegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder Com
pany set out some time ago to ex-
pose the character and to break up
the sale of adulterated baking pow
ders. Having found from an ex-
animation of many specimens that
there was a large number ofactually
injurious powders in the market,
they brought the matter before the
public and denounced the makers
by name in the press and to the
health authorities. The affair WINS
taken up by physicians, Boards Of
Health, and Legislatures throughout
the countr chemists were employed
to test the various powders in the
market, and the government itself
directed analyses to be made before
it would purchase the supplies need
ed for army, navy and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges
made by the Royal company. Not
only were the majority Of baking
powders in the market found to be
largely adulterated, but many OF
them were asccrtained to contain al
um and other poisonous ingredients
to such an extent as to render them
positively unsafe for use in human
food. In making the charges the
Royal Baking Powder Company did
not hesitate to enter into competition
with every other baking powder in
the country, and it is a public salts
faction that in the official tests by the
government and State chemists and
by Boards of Health, the Royal Bak.
ing Powder has been declared to be
the superior o all others in strength,
and wholesomeness, and
absolutely free from all inferior or
substances.
From recent official reports it is
evident that alum and otherwise inn
pure goods have come upon the
market in dangerous quantities aud
their old enemy the Royal is again
upon the warpath. In continuing
its warfare against these goods the
Royal is meeting with the old-time
opposition aud abuse. The public,
however, will appreciate, as
heretofore, both the object Of the
abuse and the action Of the Royal
and award full justice to
the company who SO fearlessly
up for its protection from such
al venturers.

Reports from the Black HILLS are to
the effect that republicans will go
in solid phalanx for Col. jolly.
Yankton and Minnehaha counties
have made the prohibition question,
that first caused inquiry to be made
concerning our candidates record, to
be lodged in a substratum, and an
overwhelming republican vote will
be cast on November Bird. Why
bless you. Col.Jolly is liked even by
his enemies. II you want to vote
for a clean man, vote for Jolly; If
yon want to vote for an able man,
vote for Jolly-in short, vote for Jolly

gress, for his heart is with the peo-
pie, as is also the republican party.

They Never Make a Mistake.

pardon me, but l think you have made
a mistake in counting this money" said a
mild hammered gentleman to the paying
teller of one of the big banks down town,
The mild hammered gentleman had just re-
ceived bulky pile of currency in exchange
for a check, and had taken the precaution
to count the money on the spot. With a
look of disdain and in very frigid tones
the teller replied: 1--WE never make mis-
takes here, sir You will find that to be
correct"
"But l am certain" said the gentleman
earnestly. II have counted these bills
twice, and you have given me tool
"You are mistaken, sir" interrupted the
clerk haughtily. 81 never make a mistake
in counting money"
But tell you that in this instance you
have" insisted the gentleman very polite
ly. you have given me too much"
"Sir, that is impossible. Please don't
take up any more of my time. There are
others waiting to be attended to-"
The mild hammered man looked sharply
at the teller, and then, with gesture of
Impotence, said: "Oh, very well. l can
stand it if you can" He placed the roll of
bills in his pocket and left the bank An
observer of the incident followed him out
and ventured to inquire, Are you sure
that the teller gave you too much money!"
''Yes, sir" promptly replied the gentle
man. "He overpaid me $500, and he will
find it out very soon, but he will never ad-
NIT it. That man would lose half years
salary rather than admit that he had made
mistake. With some paying tellers that
feeling amounts to mania. Next to their
lives they prize their regulations for ac-
curacy. New York Times.

An Old Cornwall Custom.

The delightful custom of harvest home"
suppers, which unfortunately is dying out
among American farmers, is universal in
Cornwall. There is also custom of very
ancient origin of celebrating the finishing
of work in any particular harvest field, es-
pecially in completing the labor of stock
ing" or shocking" the sheaves OF grain
into "arrishmows." The custom is called
"crying the neck" and consists of elevat
ing a small sheaf of the best heads of grain
three times in the air among the harvest
ers, who thereupon cry at the top of their
voices, 1.-The neckl" finally changing this
shout to "We yen! we yen!" meaning I'VE
end' the harvesting of this field This is
followed by good deal of boisterous
though harmless jollity, to which the lips
of maidens pay tribute in proportion to
their lack of physical prowess.-E. l..

Only One Left.

A well known English actor, travelling
to Birmingham by the Great Western rail-
way the other day, on approaching Ban
bury began to feel hungry, and determined
to indulge in one of the buns for which the
town is famous.
The train having pulled up, he hailed a
boy, handed him sixpence, and commits
stoned him to get ''two Banburys," one of
the two being promised him for his trouble.
just as the train was about to start the
boy came rushing up to the carriage in
which the now impatient actor was seated,
and, holding out threepence, exclaimed,
with mouth half full:
Here's your change, SIR"
Bother the change; where's the cake"
roared the hungry Thespian.
"They had only one left" replied the
boy, ''and Pm eating tl,at!"
And then the train moved off.--Jester.

VestaI Virgins.

Ovid tells us that the first temple Of
Vesta at Rome was constructed of waited
walls and rooted with thatch like the prim
tive nuts of the inhabitants. 1t was little
other than q circular covered fireplace
and was tended by the unmarried girls of
the infant community. 1t served as the
public hearth of Rome, and on it glowed
unextinguished throughout the year, the
sacred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy, and the continu-
ance of which was thought to be linked
with the fortunes of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be derived
from the same root as the Sanskrit was
which means Ito dwell, to inhabit," and
shows that she was the goddess of home

LOVE SHOULD FIND THE WAY.

Your eyes, dear one, are like the stars
Within the heavens shining;
Your tresses fair around your brow
Are delicately twining,
And as they fail upon your neck
They fairylike do play so
That can but this question ask,
''Oh, if you love me, say So"
The fragrant roses as you pass,
Though in their bloom and beauty,
Within their petals shrink and gaze
And deem il but their duty.
For they are envious of your charms
Then why do you delay so?
Oh, why not Danish all my fears,
And if you love me, say so?

oke. The outlook for great develop
ments on this property is splendid. The
ore is vein of soft brown hematite 80
feet wide and assaying so per cent, me-
tallic iron. And the coal prospects are
fine-two shafts having been sunk, one
90 and the other 25 feet, through solid
coal slate. The property also contains
mineral spring, which the analysis Of
lehman & Mayer proved to possess re-
markable curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabetes. The
enormous quantity of coal and ore that
will be required for the large number of
furnaces and other industrial plants in
course of construction in Southwest Vir-
ginia will greatly increase the already
large demand for these minerals, and
consequently enhance the value of such
property. Two railroads have been sur
veyed near the property, one of which
the Roanoke and Craig railroad, and the
other, tho Virginia Western railroad,
will afford valuable connections. Fuller
