A serious danger the health
Of The people OF This country in the nu-
me-, GUS alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon the public.
There Is no question - to the detri-
mental effects Of these powders upon
the system. Every Board Of Heal h.,
every physician, will tell you OF the IN
wholesome qualities they adj to the
fol. Some countries have absolutely
prohibited the sale of bread containing
alum.
Even small doses of alum, given to
children. have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn. Indigestion.
gripping constipation, dyspepsia, and
various kindrei gastric troubles from
irritation Of the c membrane.
caused by the continuous s OF food
prepared with the alum or alum-phos-
phate powders, are familiar In the prac-
tice OF every physician.
1t 10 not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article Of food that
will injure The health Of her household,
or perhaps cause the death Of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguishes And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the pr ce a. which they are
sold, or from the fact,that they are ac-
companied by q gift, or are disposed Of
under some scheme. The alum powder
costs but a few cents q pound to make,
and is often sold at 20 or % cents a
pound. II some present is given with
it, the price may be 30, Az, OF 50 cents u
pound.
II Is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at a low price, or adver-
tised as costing only half as much as
cream OF tartar powders, or accom-
panied by a present, or disposed OF UNI
der any scheme, Is of this class, detri-
mental to health and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe and certain pro-
lection Of our Tread, biscuit aud cake
from all danger Of unwho.esomeness is
In the use of the Royal Baking Powder
only. This powder Is mentioned be-
cause of the innumerable reports in it's
favor by high medical authorities, by
the U. s. Government, and by the Off
cial chemists and Boards OF Health,
which leave no doubt as to It's entire
freedom from alum, lime and ammonia,
Its absolute purity and wholesomeness.
While its use is thus a safeguard against
the poisonous alum powders, it is satis-
factory at the same time to know that
it makes the whitest, lightest, sweetest
and most delicious food, which will
keep moist and fresh longer, and that
a be eaten with immunity hot or
cold, stale or fresh, and also that owing
to Its greater strength 1t Is more
economical thar others.
These facts should incline consumers
tc turn a deaf ear to all opportunities
to buy the inferior powders. If a grocer
urges the sale OF the cheap, impure,
alum brands. it should be borne in mind
that it is because he can make more
profit on them. The wise housekeeper
will decline in all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using q
doubtful article where so important a
matter as the health on life of lear ones
y ut stake.

A Disxraceful Act.


The exultation OF British Tory or.
gans over the Inauguration OF Grover
Cleveland vas not unfounded. by
abruptly withdrawing the Hawaiian
annexation treaty from the custody
OF the Senate the Democratic Presi-
dent has rendered a signal service to
the enemies Of the United States and
dealt q damaging blow to American
interests in the Pacific. No justi1-
cation whatever exists for Mr.. Cleve-
lands action. The treaty was in
accordance with the wishes Of the
citizens and taxpayersof Hawaii. Its
ratification was favored by an
whelming majority Of the American
people. 1t insured to the United
States forever the possession Of the
impregnable outpost which In IA 8 OF
wal with a European power would be
worth a dozen ironclads to the peo-
pie OF the Pacific coast; it gave this
nation undisputed control of the
marine fortress that will command
for all time the highway Of Pacific
commerce; 1t was in fulfllmentof the
policy which American statesmen
have pursued toward Hawaii for more
than fifty years.
The mugwump hatcrs Of everything
that is American will echo the re-
joicing Of the organs Of British jingo-
ism over the course the President has
taken. Every enemy OF the Ameri-
al flag and the American name will
applaud the politician who has taken
this occasion to manifest his con-
tempt for the interests and prestige

Put tho blame where II belongs.

1t Is Of Importance to correct at
this time the false impression which
Democrats have persistcntly labored
to create regarding the condition of
the Federal treasury as it is handed
over to the new Secretary. President
HarrisOn's administration found on
Its advent to power a large and need
less surplus piled up which was daily
augmented by governmental receipts
far In excess Of necessary expenditures.
This surplus was applied to the re-
duction OF the national debt and the
revenues reduced to a basis of eco
nomical expenditure.
So long ~ the Republican party
was charged with the expenditure Of
the revenues there was no talk OF in
solvency. But the Republicans of the
Fffty-firs Congress could not foresee
the river and harbor bills and the other
reckless appropriations with which
the Fifty-tlrst Congress has charged
the treasury. The fiscal year ending
June 30, 1892. was the last for which
Republican appropriations provided.
That year has been passed, and the
current fiscal year, with the enor-
NOUS obligations saddled upon it by
the first session Of the Congress just
expired, will end with a safe surplus
In the treasury. Not until the gov
eminent Is called upon to face the
tremendous appropriations Of the last
session will there be danger Of a
deficit.
The Republican administration
promptly met every dollar OF obliga-
tions incurred by its party, and safely
w%eathered the first year OF Democrat
ic extravaganza. The attempt to
shift responsibility upon the Repub-
lican party for whatever embarrass-
ments may appear three or four years
after Republican control Of the public
purse ended is cowardly and dishon-
est.
