A baking powder that can be depend
ed upon to be free from lime and alum is
adesideratum in these days of adulterated
food. So far as can be judged from the
official reports, the Royal seems to be the
only one yet found by chemical analysis
to be entirely without one or the other Of
these substances, and absolutely pure.
This, it is shown, results from the ex-
elusive use by It's manufacturers of
cream Of tartar specially refined and pre-
pared by patent process which totally re-
moves the :artrate of lime and other i'm
puritieg. The cost of this chemically
pure cream of tartar Is much greater
than any other, and 1t is used in no bak-
ing powder except the Royal, the manu-
facturers of which control the patents
under which 1t is refined.
DR.. Edward G. Love, formerly analyti-
cal chemist for the United States govern
ment, who made the analysis for the
New York state board of health in their
investigation Of baking powders, and
whose intimate knowledge of the ingre-
dlents of all those sold in this market
enables him to speak authorltatlvely, says
of the purity, wholesomeness and superior
quality of the Royal:
81 find the Royal baking powder COM
posed Of pure and wholesome ingredients.
1t is cream of tartar powder, and does
not centain either alum or phoSphates, or
other Injurious substance"
Prof. Doves tests, and recent official
tests by both the United States and Cana
dian governments, show the Royal Bak
ing powder TO be superior to all others
in strength and levening power 1t is
not only the most economical In use, but
makes the purest, finest favored and
most wholesome food. II.

showing that at the then price OF labor

present price-that their road could be
duplicated for $9,6s4 per mile, and the

cash value of the road did not exceed
$7,725 per mile.
In 1885 the superintendent of the St.

Arkansas State board of assessors, swore
that he could duplicate such railway for
$1,000 per mile, and yet Mr., Gould has
managed to float its securities, notwith-

factory.
There may be force in the objection,
but the evidence points 70 an opposite
conclusion. When the nation owne the
railways, trains will run into union de-
pots, the equipment will become uniform
and of the best character, and 80 suftl-
cient that the traffic of no part Of the
country would have to to wait while the
worthless locomotives of some bankrupt
corporation we're being patched up, nor
would there be the present difficulties in
obtaining freight cars, growing ont Of the
poverty Of corporations which have been
plundered by the manipulators, and inn
provements would not be hlndered by
the diverse ideas of the managers of
various lines in relation to the adoption
Of devices intended to render life more
secure or to add to the public conven-
fence. That such is one Of the evils of
corporate management is demonstrated
daily, and is shown by the following from
the RGiluUay ReVtelV of March z, 1891:
SIT is stated that bill will be introduced
in the Illinois Legislature, at the suggestion
of the railroad and warehouse commission
ers, governing the placing of interloCking
plants at railway grade crossings. It some
times happens that one of the companies
concerned is anxious to put in such plant
and the other objects. At present there is
no law to govern the matter, and the enter
prising company is forced to abide the time
of the other"
Instead of national ownership being q
hindrance to improvement and enter
prise, the results In Australia prove the
contrary, as in Victoria the government
railways are already provided with inter
locking plants at all grade crossings, and
one line does not have to wait the motion
of another, but all are governed by an
active and enlightened policy which
adopts all beneficial improvements, ap-
pliances or modes of administration that
will add either to the public safety, COM
fort, or convenience. 1t Is safe to say
that had the nation been operating the
railways, there would have been no
Fourth Avenue tunnel horror; and
Chauncey Depew and associates would
not now be under indictment, as the
government would not have continued
the use of the death-deRling stove on
nearly half the railways In the country in
order to save money for the shareholders.
Existing evidence all negatives Mr..
AcwOrth'S postulate shat state railway
systems are incapable of vigorous life"
An objection to national ownership,
which the writer has not seen advanced,
is that states, counties, cities, townships,
and school districts would lose some
G27,0O0,000 of revenue derived from taxes
upon railways.
While this would be a serious loss TO
some communities, there wonld be COM
pensating advantages for the public, as
the cost of transportation would be
lessened In like measure.
Many believe stringent laws, enforced
by commissions having judicial powers,
will serve the desired end, and the writer
was long hopeful of the efficacy of regu-
lstion by state and national commissions;
but close observation of their endesvors
and of the constant efforts-too often
sucoepsful-of the corporations to place
