no PHYSIC WITH OUR FOOD.
A Phosphate Baking Powder Theory
That Is Dangerous.

That is a dangerous proposition, put
forth by the manufacturers of some of
the proprietary articles of food, that
their products possess a superior whole
sOmeness because they contain a drug
of some particular medicinal property.
Phosphates, alum, lime, arsenic, Gallo
mel, etc, have their places as specifics
for different diseases, and are invaluable
medical remedies, each in its place. The
physician, however, who should pre-
scribe either of them three times a day
to man, woman and child, sick or well,
because it was a remedy for some Ger
tain disease, would receive no practice
in any community.
No one will cOntrOvert this statement;
yet we find manufacturers of phosphate
baking powders claiming hygienic viz
tue for their goods because they carr
the phosphate used in making them {
cheap substitute for cream of tartar;
procured from the bones of dead animals)
into the food, although well aware, as
they must be, of the fact that with the
constant use OF such article this drug
must pass into our system daily, ire
spective Of our physical conditions or
requirements, or whether Or not We may
he suffering from some ailment wherein
the use of such drug would be positively
detrimental. PhOsphates are useful
medicaments in certain diseases; but
they should no more be taken indis-
criminately day after day, and without
the prescription of a physician, than
arsenic, acOnite or calOmel; indeed there
are conditions of the system particularly
with women, when the prudent physl-
clan would not permit the use of lime
phOsphates even as a medicine.
The object Of baking powders is not
to provide the body with a medicine,
but simply to vesicnlate or make light
the mixture of flour, so as to render il
when baked easy of mastication and
perfectly digestible. Experts in the
business have worked to perfect an arti-
Gle that should do this mechanically
without changing the properties or con-
stituents of the flour. When this has
been done the perfect ~leavening agent
has been discovered. The manufactur.
ers Of the Royal Baking Powder have
succeeded in this aud make a ~leavening
agent that ~vesiculates and raises the LOAF
most perfectly and without changing
the properties of the -four. The agent
employed, however, to produce this re-
suit is not phosphate. but the highly re.
fined cream Of tartar, which, the health
authorities agree, renders that powder
perfectly pure and more reliable and
healthful than any other. The recen,
official tests show, on the other hand
that the best the phosphate baking
powder makers can do is to produce al
article that is One-third or more residuun
or impurity.
We want our food pure; especially dc
we not wish to take alum, lime AM
phOsphates with it at the diotum OI
manufacturers who may find it cheaper
to claim a virtue for the impurities than

PRESIDENT CARNOT AssAssINATED

One of the most dastardly crimes in
the annals of the French republic was
committed this week. President Sardi
Carnot was stabbed by an Italian an
archist named Cesare Giovanni Sarto.
The news of the cruel murder of
frances greatest living statesman
caused the world to mourn. The full
account of the atrocious deed will be
found on the first page.
France has had more brilliant men,
greater generals, and more profound
thinkers than Carnot, but a more lib
eral minded, charitable, patriotic son
was never born to that great republic.
Carnot was a man of, and for the
people. He guarded with a jealous eye
all their interests. HIS life was con-
secrated to his country and his public
career is one of which his mother
country is proud.
He was elected president Of the
French republic in 1887. His term OF
Office was nearing n close, and he had
refused reelection. He had discharged
the duties of president with entire sat
isfaction TO his people. As nearly as a
public man could be he was without
enemies. Those who possessed animos-
ity for HIM, admired his lofty charac-
ter and straight forward course. He
was u statesman, admired by a world
His assassination is mOurned In
America as much or more perhaps than
in any other country. France has
always been our friend and rendered
valuable assistance to our forefathers
in their endeavOr to establish a free
government. She gave to this country
the noble Lafayette, than whom the
world has never produced a Drawer OF
more courageous officer.
The late presidents ASSASSINATION
was the dastardly, cowardly deed Of al
anarchist.
Our republic knows well the mean
ing of such a crime. The annals o
our history contain two names tina
will go hand IN hand with that o
Sarto,-Booth and Guiteau.
America has been the home of tive
such crimes. She has witnessed thu
untimely death of her Lincoln, at thu
hands of just such a man as Ssrto
Years later Garfield fell, the victim o.
Guiteau's henious crime.
America extends her sympathy tc
her sister country. She extends sorrow
as a country that has twice drunk o
the same cup of bitterness.

IngersOll.


Robert G. Ingersoll is q first class
joker and comedian, nothing less, and
but little more. He is troubled in his
plagiarism with q flux in words, and q
constipation of thought. He is a per-
feet plagiarist. He steals from Hume,
Paine, BolingbrOke, VOltaire, Volney's
Ruins, all Of whom were strong men.
Ingersoll is a small man compared
with these. They have all been COM
plelely answered, at various times, by
distinguished men. Paine raised the
most plausible objections to the Bible,
Of any we have mentioned in the above
list, but was in hf day completely
answered by Bishop Watson, of Cam,
bridge, England. Watson also an
swered Gibbons objections, and Lam
bert, Of Buffalo, New York, completely
annihilated X. G. Ingersolrs objection.
founded upon science and history
None Of these ever founded an orphan
school or q charitable institution of any
kind, SO far as our information and
memory serve US.
Ingersoll loosens. up the morals OF
the young and old, collects their money
for his saw dust and circus ring
speeches, but does he give any thing
for any benevolent purposes. W. have
nevsr heard Of any such gifts, il he has
given such at any. time. But by his
