the value to health of the pure liquid

PerGection in Cake-NTakine.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why
it is that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light and palatable and
that taste as delicious as the biscuit
and cake made by their mothers and
grandmothers, the delightful memory of
which even to this day creates sensa-
ton of pleasure to the palate. The
trouble arises from the highly adulter-.
ated state of the materials they have to
work with, particularly the cream of-tar-
tar and soda used to raise or leaven
the food. Cream Of tartar and soda that
are now procurable for domestic pur-
poses contain large quantities of lime,
earth. alum and other adulterants, fire.
quently from five to twenty-five per
cent, and consequently vary so much
in strength that no person can tell the
exact quantity to use. or properly COM
bine them, TO insure perfect results.
From using too much or too little. or
because of the adulterants in them, bit
ter, salt, yellow, or heavy biscuits or
cakes are frequently made. These adul-
terants are also injurious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by
the use of the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is en-
ployed in the place of cream of-tartar
and soda, its perfect Ieavening power al
ways insures light, faky, digestlble bis
cult, cakes and pastry, that are perfectly
wholesome and free from the impurities
invariably present when the old raising
preparations are employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are in
formed by the most reliable scientists,
is perfectly pure, being made from high
ly refined ingredients, carefully tested,
and SO exactly proportional and COM
bined that 1t never fails to produce the
best and uniform results. An addition
al advantage in its employment comes
from the fact that bread or other food
made with it may pe eaten while hot
without fear of indigestion or any I'M
pleasant results, while being equally
sweet, moist, and grateful to the palate
when cold.

Congratulations to Kansas.

National Tribune
All honor to the noble comrades of
Kansas.
The veterans all over the country are
proud of them and grateful to them.
They testified in the handsomest
manner the gratitude of the veterans
everywhere to Comrades Morrill, and
Blue for their splendid work in the pass
age of the disability bill.
Their victory will be rich in results.
1t shows the politicians that the veter-
ans have long memories; that they re-
member and appreciate those who have
been true to them, in spite of ali the ly-
ing and mean-sprited caviling that can
be brought to bear.
There has rarely been meaner cam
paign than that against Comrades Nor
riIl and Blue. 1t was simply impossible
to follow up and expose the patches of
lies that were Matched daily against
them. Men whom we know of our own
personal knowledge were the greatest
obstacles in obtaining desired pension
legislation-who were perpetually striv-
ing-sometimes too successful -to de-
feat measures that had been agreed up
on by true friends of the veterans were
clamoring against Comrades Morrill, and
Blue for not having obtained more than
they did. The air was filled with calum-
MES and ISLANDERS against these two rep
resentative veterans.
The comrades of Kansas were not at
all deceived by these men. They knew
them too we'll for that-knew their by
pocrisy, their deep malignity.
The victory opens a new and vastly
better era for Kansas, and for the veter-
ans The grand state emerging from
the blighting vagaries of populism, will
once more take her proud place among
the foremost states of the union. Then,
too, politicians everywhere, noting the
solidarity of Kansas veterans in vindl-
cation of their rights will take careful
heed, and govern themselves according
~ in the future.
Again we congratulate and thank the
splendid comrades OF Kansas.

No Dictation.

During his recent visit in Topeka
Governor-elect Morrill, was waited upon
by delegation of prominent men, who
expressed strong interest in the sue
cess Of his administration and desire
that it should be business administra-
ton and not purely political one.
Major Morrill, listened courteously
and closely to their suggestions and in
formed them that he would endeavor to
act in such a manner as would result
in the greatest good to the state. and in

people who are interested in the state,
and it will be my aim to administer the
government fairly, prudently and hon

ton and an economical one, SO far as /

will be the motto rather than Politics.
Il shall not ignore the politicians in

where political worker has recognized
fitness for an official position, his par
tisanship will not be an obstacle to his
appointment; but my first desire will be
to secure the services of capable and hon
est men, and | believe it is the intention
all the state officers to surround them
selves with men of that kind, and not
use the subordinate positions as places
of reward for party workers, who have
no other recommendation than their
activity in the campaign.
Men Of high personal character and
good business methods are needed to
secure good government, and whatever
voice may have will be exerted in that
direction. For instance, the position of
railroad commissioner is one of the

Capital.
One of the most indefensible false
hoods of the democratic organs is that
the Harrison administration and the
Mckinley bill were responsible for the
decline in the revenues of the govern
ment and the present issues of bonds to
supply the deficiency The Harrison
administration paid off 259 million dol
lars OF the bonded debt of the govern
ment This does not look much like
deficient revenues. Although the Cleve-
land administration has reduced pen
sion payments 25 million dollars in
the first year it has not raised sufficient
revenue to pay the ordinary expenses
of the government, not be speak of pay
ing off any of the bonded debt. People
can not be fooled by such shallow dem
ocraticic claptrap. The fact stands that
not one dollar of government bonds was
issued from 1865 to 1894. One hundred
millions have been issued already this
year. There is no explanation of this
except the explanation of incompetency.

The story of the water which got

he had done a hundred times.

pounds in the locker. and cautioning
him against cooking TOO much, the
captain went about his business of
Ioadin his vessel with pig iron In
half an hour the new cook rushed out
exclaIming:
For Gods sake, captain, don't
take on any more pig-iron; we will
have d load of billed rice before

The captain rushed up into the
cabin, where ne found all the pots,
kettles. pals pans, dishes, and even
two washtubs full TO overlooking
with cooked rice, which was also
seething over the top of the kettle
and falling of upon the floor.
