THIS is the way w. B. Lightfoot,
q New York banker and capitalist,
sums up the situation: 1.-THE business
condition of the country is going to
improve steadily, but not rapidly as
some people think. The people will
not be able to transact the trade that
under normal conditions would have
been carried on, because of the inn
mense shrinkage of values during this
period of prostration-a shrinkage that
has been estimated at $12, 900, 900, 900,
an estimate that l do not regard as ex-
aggerated. The responsibility for most
of this vast loss rests on Congress,
which took nine months to do what a
council or convention of business men
would have done in three weeks and
done better. No wonder the people are
Disguised with the Democrats. ! have
belonged to that party all my life, but
unless my viewschange greatly, l shall
never vote its ticket again. In my
Office in New York the other day l
heard twelve gentleman assert the
same thing. They had all been life
long Democrats. The truth is that
there are only a few good business men
in Congress and they happen to be Re-
p%ublicans.n

Herald and Tribune, one of the best, if
not the grandest, papers in the South.

of this good old paper, for it is one of

If every patriotic American will pur-
chase American goods only for his con-
sumption, he will lessen the disastrous
effects Of the free trade German Tariff
Bill. The American Protective League
invites all to join in such a movement,
and to sign the following pledge:
II hereby pledge myself to buy
American goods only, whether of the
farm, mine or factory, and to use my
influence to have others do the same.'
Please sign the above giving your

IT is needless to quote the opinions
of Republicans on Mr.. Cleveland let
ter. They are all delighted with it,, as
it squarely makes the issue, which
some Democrats were trying to dodge,
as to the intention of the Democratic
party, if it be allowed to continue in
the majority in Congress, to continue
its tariff tinkering, regardless of its de-
moralizing effect upon all industries
and business. With that issue squarely
defined it remains for the voters to de.
eide whether they will allow the pro-
gramme to be carried out, and the Re-
publicans do not fear the result of the
decision.

The favor 18th which the new bread,
made with Royal Baking Powder in-
stead of yeast, has been received by
\ breadpalers, is really wonderful. ut
saves an the hard and tedious work OF
kneading and moulding, writes one.
LESS than an hour from the dry -four
to the most perfect loaf of bread ever
saw" writes another. "Fresh bread
every day." says another, "and that
the lghtest, finest and most whole
tonne, is something to live for" 1--WE
relish thu bread better than the old
kind" sit Is ahead of any yeast
bread ever baked" "the bread was
winter and SOFTER "Best Of ALL"
writes an enthusiastic housewife; 1--WE
can eat the Royal unferme nted bread
when freshly baked, or even when
warm. with perfect impunity. 1t is
actually an anti-dyspeptic."
This bread has 'nutty' taste, that
is peculiarly pleasing" writes still an
other. This is owing to the fact that
the active gas-producing principle of
the Royal is derived from the pure
grapeAacid.
Theogreat value Of this bread arises
from the fact that in it are preserved
all the most nutritive dement's of the
flour, ssome Of which are decomposed
and destroyed by the action of yeast.
The lpss of these properties is what
makes fresh yeast brcadtun wholesome.
The use of the Royal Baking Powder
instead Of yeast is found to make .
finer, lighter bread, de@oid of all dys-
peptic qualities. The game gas-car-
bonic-is produced as where yeast is
used, but it is evolved ffpm the baking
powder itself and not Hr4m the -four.
Thereby the bread is madesmore whole
some and actually anti yspeptic- The
greater convenience where batch of
the finest bread can be made and baked
in less than an hour with no danger of
q sour or heavy loaf, must be appre-
ciated by everyone.
The receipt for making this bread is
herewith given, and housekeepers will
do well to cut it out and preserve it.
To make one loaf: One quart -four,
teespoonful salt, half teaspoonful
sugar, heaping teaspoonfuls Royal
Baking Powder, half medium-sized cold
boiled potato, and water. Sift together
thoroughly -four, salt, sugar, and bak-
ing powder; rub in the potato; add
sufficient water to mix smoothly and
rapidly into stiff batter, about as soft
as for pound cake; shout q pint of
water to quart of -four will be re-
quired-more or less according to the
brand and quality Of the -four used:

lsIowing the Feather.

with feather. The party is arranged
in several groups OF seven or eight
each. seated in ring and as close to-
gether as possible. For each group ia
a feather. This is tossed in the ali. in
the center of the ring It is the bust
ness of the players to keep the feather
in the air by blowing every time it
comes near. The effort is so ridiculous
that the children laugh. When they
laugh they cannot blow and the feather
is apt to settle in the lap of the merriest
child In this case she has to retire
from the ring 1t is, Of course. her
interest to make the other children
laugh. As the rings decrease they are
consolidated. and so the game continues
until only one person is left, who. Of
