From Pole to Pole

1t has been referred to as remark
able that the United States govern
ment, in fitting out its expedition for
the relief of the whalers imprisoned
in the Arctic seas, should have select
ed and included Royal Baking Powder
among it's supplies, and no other.
This is not at ell to be wondered at.
The superior quality Of the Royal
made it's use upon this occasion indis-
pensable. The Royal is the only
baking powder so carefully and per-
fectly made that it will keep fresh in
all climates, under variable degrees Of
temperature and moisture, during long
sea voyages, etc. 1t is the only bak-
ing powder that will do it's work uni
formly and perfectly at the poles and
under the equator as well as in the
United States.
The Royal is regularly and continu-
Ously selected for use at our army
posts in the navies of this country
and Great Britain and upon the fleets
of merchant vessels that cover the
oceans, irrespective Of the flag they
fly.
All this means that the Royal is the
best baking powder for home use
also. 1t means that it has qualities
peculiar to itself which make its use
fulness beyond that possible for any
other baking powder to attain.

The old style of portraying famous
people through q sketch" or ohio
graphy" is to be modernized in The
Ladies Home Journal during 1898.
Five of the most prominent Amerl-
cans have been chosen for the depart
ure: President Mckinley, Mrs. Cleve-
land, Mark Twain, Joseph Jefferson
and Thomas A. Edison. Each will
have a special article, which will con-
sist of about fifteen or twenty fresh,
unpublished stories and anecdotes
strung together, each enecdote show
ing some characteristic trait or pre-
senting different side of the subject.
The idea is to show famous personal
tiles through their own doings and
sayings, and to make these articles
accurate the relatives and closest
personal friends of the subjects have
assisted and given to The Journal the
best stories and anecdotes within
their own knowledge. Each article
will thus represent the closest view of
the one sketched. No authorship
will be attached to any of the articles.

The Next Senator.

The Washington correspondent of
The Milwaukee Sentinel in SUNDAYS
Issue has All extended article on the
situation at the national capital re-
garding the successor of John L. Nit
chell as United States senator. AL
ready, it is said, great interest is
evinced In the matter. Speaking of
the possible candidates for the place,
the correspondent writes:
"There is Henry G. Payne, whose
closest friends say he will not be
candidate for the senate-and among
Wisconsin people here he has many
friends who believe he would make an
able and influential senator. Then
the friends of the able and handsome
Joe Qnarles, of Milwaukee, say that
he would make shining figure in the
senate and that he would reflect credit
upon the state as an orator and man
of fine parts. All who know Isaac
Stephenson, Of MHrinette say that
he has many of the elements which
made Mr.. Sawyer influential and
popular in the senate. and those who
part Of the state suggest that J Ii.
Stout, Of MenomOnie. has some of
the same elements of strength. Some
say that Representative Alexander
Stewart is willing to cross swords
with Mr.. Stephenson for the support
Of the Ninth congressional district.
Tho-e who witnessed the stir made
by Robert NJ, La Toilette and his
friends in the campaign for the
gubernatOrial nomination in 1896,
and who remember his ''Whirl
around" the state in the county fair
campaigns of last fall, see in him ele-
ments Of strength that will command
attention in the senatorial contest.
They do say that Representative
Joseph Weeks BabcOck, Of Need an,
with the aid of close friend and
shrewd adviser in the person of Henry
CassOn, secretary Of state, is already
engaged in attracting attention in
many sections of the state to the
merits of Mr.. Babcock as g. senatorial
aspirant. In the northwestern part
of the state General Griffin has many
friends who believe he should be pro
NOTED, and those who are acquainted
with the scholarly and genial Repre-
sentative Hal Cooper, Of Racine, and
who recall his brilliant work in behalf
OF the Australian ballot system in
the state senate, believe that he would
make an able senator. There is magic
in the name of w. d. Hoard to con
jure with in many parts of Wiscon
sin, and it is not surprising, in view O.
the energetic work displayed by ex
Representative Cook, of the Oshkosh
district, and the manner in which he
endeared himself to men of all parties
during his single term in the house
that his friends are suggesting his
name for the senate. There are
"Barkises" innumerable among the
members of the delegation here and
among the party leaders in the state
for it is we'll to remember that when
itcomes to senatorial seat, few there
are who would be willing to confess
thus far in advance, that they would
dodge down dark alley to escape
having it thrust upon them. Ifthere
IS nobody In the state who wants 1T.
1T IS reasonably safe to say that any
member of the congressional delega-
ton would be found In q receptive
mood If properly approached.

How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from ill
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drows1ness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses rest1essly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave a competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
anon health than upon ability
- men realize these truths. They
thl1l& t:Eat everything can be accomplished
by WORK, and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all health restorers and health pre-
servers. It makes the stomach strong and
active. It sends a man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. 1t facilitates
the flow of digestive juices and makes as
sinilation perfect 1t invigorates the liver
1t purifes the blood and fills it with the
hfe-g giving elements of the food. 1t is the
great blood-maker and hesh-builder. It
tears down inert, half dead tissues and
builds new, firm, muscular flesh It does
not build fabby fat like cod liver oil and
does not make people more corpulent
Mr.. John Brooks, of BOylStOn Mass, writes: &C /

ceived from Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Dscov-

NO GROUND FOR PANIC
The Imminence of War is Not Les
SEEMING Trade Operations.

Dun's Review of Trade for last week
said:
With more than S34, 900, 900 received or
on the way with ample bank reserve and
treasury reserves rising, with no stringency
in any money market and with failures
nearly 80 per cent smaller than last year,
there is not much visible ground for panic,
even if efforts should fail to keep peace with
honor.
Industrial operations have not been
perceptibly affected, except where the ex-
traordinary buying for some week has
made it necessary to pause for breath or
where unnatural prices had caused halt
before the destruction of the Maine.
Cotton has fallen sixteenth in spite of
argeIexports because of evidences that the
curtailment Of acreage will be less than was
expected.
As a panic does not come when men are
waiting for it there is general anxiety to
have an end of the delay. In the stock
market there is more disposition to con-
slider earnings, which cannot be cut off by
foreign troubles, and in March thus far
they are 1871 per cent. larger then last
year.
1t is impossible to take dismal views
when the nation is surprising all records in
the market products. Atlantic coast ex-
ports of wheat for the week have been 2,
16O, S26 bushels, with Pacific coast exports
of 4 ,232, 032 bushels The price has de-
clined 27.S. Corn has declined only 4
fraction. Domestic exports from New
York in two weeks have been 50, los, 200.
The sales of wool have been only II All,
600 pounds in three weeks and prices are
yielding. The cotton mills at Fall River
still increase their accumulated stocks, about
100000 pieces and print cloths

NOT THE CASE.

During the business depression which
prevailed in 1896 the Populists and Free
silverites of all parties very confidently as
cribed the low prices and stagnation to
the low price of silver. They asserted
that as long as the price of silver bullion
was low that agricultural products would
be corespondingly low,and the only way
to relieve the situation waste havefree, un-
limited coinage of silver. The results
that have followed the triumph of Sound
Money and Protection in the election Of
1896 have placed the Free siverites and
