ROYAL
Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet tfrmost economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enoug h to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-'
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
Of first consideration.
The Worthington advance., 1900-06-29

Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. 1t costs less than two cents pound.
Alum is corrosive poison Think of feeding to chill
dren! Yet the manufacturers of well-known alum
powders are actually denying that their goods contain it.

Mammoth Ocean PAGER

The German Lloyd Line has jus,
placed with the Vulcan Shipbuilding
Company of Stettin an order Iur a
vessel which is to maintaiv an aver
age speed of twenty-five knots an
hour. In the contract it IS further
stipulated that this Forthcoming flyer
shall have a length of 762 feet and an
engine poxer of 4S,0O6 horse
power.
Thus in speed, horse power and size
this new leyiathan will exceed all
others o aboat or building. The
nearest approach to her in the way of
speed is the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
steamship Deutschland, which is soon
to be placed in service in the trans
atlantic route, and which is guaean-
teed by her builders to have a sns-
tanned sea speed of not less than
twenty-three knots an hour.
But the engines which are emplaced
in the Deutschland have an indicated
horse power of only $4,000, as against
this racers 5000. The horse power
of the Deutschland, by the way, far
exceeds that of any other vessel now
ahoat.
In regard TO size this new product
of the German shipwright will far out
class anything now afloat. The Gee
anic of the White Star Line now
holds the distinction of being the big
gest ship that was ever launched, but
her length vel all is 104 feet against
the new vessels 752 feet

the provisions of this amendment, could
order them replaced with other books.
Then the patrons would suffer an add
tional expense.
Il have talked with a number Of
teachers on this subject and they eN-
press the opinion that the amendment IS
a bad one and should be killed.
while the state superintendent may
be innocent Of any intention to do the
people an injustice, yet this amendment
which he suggests and so heartily en-
dorses, certainly will be a dangerous
proposition. 1t would return the state
to the old conditions and place the pat
rons of schools again at the mercy Of
the book companies.
Il hope the state teachers association
next week will denounce the amendment
and urge that it be not adopted, if Mr..
Nelson persists in pushing it.
Many of the county superintendent
and other superintendent of schools are
under obligations to the book companies
for libraries, book cases and books, and
like the politicians who rides on a rail-
road pass, would be inclined to favor
concessions to the benefactor. The idea
of amending the book law Is a bad one
and 1 hope the administration viii work
against it."
The state officers and members of the
legislature report many complaints
against this proposed amendment and Il
seems that the majority of the state Of
ficers are opposed to it.

DISPUTED TERRITORY.
France and United States May Quarrel
Over 100000 Acres in Para

New York, Dec. IA special to the
Times from Washington, D. c., says:
The territory until recently in dispute
between Brazil and France, and which
has been decreed to belong to Brazil, may
shortly become the subject of dispute
between France and the United States,
under the Monroe doctrine.
This territory, lying south OF FRENCH
Guiana in the Brazilian state OF Para,
and containing 100. 600 square miles, was
claimed by Brazil and France, and swift
zerland was made arbitrator. Her dec1-
sion was in favor of Brazil It IS now re-
ported that some French fnanciers, an
ticipating that the decision would be Ia
yorable to France. had already invested
their capital in this territory. Ihey are
now, it is said, trying to engineer q deal
by which the French government viii buy
this land from Brazil.
The state department has absolutely no
knowledge on the subject Its attention
has, however, been called to the matter,
and the attempt of the French eapltallsts
to secure government aid in getting their
money back will be watched with inter-
est. There is hardly any question, 1t IS
said at the department, that Such &C
ton would be a. violation of the Monroe
doctrine and would call forth q protest
from the United States
As long as the claim was in its original
form, France might have maintained that
she was simply rectifying her boundaries,
and that the United States could not OBJ
ject to that. Even in that case a recu-
fication of boundaries which involved an
area of 100. 600 square miles would be close
Iy scrutinized- France has, however, for
feited the right to make that claim by
submitting the matter to arbitration by
Switzerland and getting an adverse deci-
sion. The territory has been officially de-
creed by the Swiss tribunal TO be outside
the boundaries of French Guiana

PLEA FOR PORTO RICO.
Summary of Gen. Harrison's Address
at Ann Arbor, Mich


Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 17.-Ex-Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison in his speech
before the students of the university at
tackled the Mckinley administration for
taking the position that the constitution
applies to the United States exclusive
of Porto Rico and the Philippine islands
He declared that these islands are a
part of the United States and that the
constitution extended to them in spite
of any treaties or congressional legisla.-
ton. To levy taxes in Porto Rico that
are not uniform with taxes in other
parts of the United States, according to
the former president, is to deny that
Porto Rico is a part of the United
States He said that while some people
declare that the sound of DeWey'S guns
in Manila bay heralded a new mission
for this country, to him it seemed bet
ter to let it herald the same old mission
sounded by the guns of Washington.
Mr.. Harrison spoke under the auspices
of the Lecture association of the Uni
verSity of Michigan, and 5000 people
heard and applauded. He began his lee
ture by disposing, in a few words, Of the
contention that either Porto Rico or the
Philippines might not be d part of the
United States In fact, the subject of
his lecture, The Status Of Annexed
Territory and of It's Free Civilized In
habitants.' showed that he took the for
mer part of his subject as practically
for granted.
He discIaimed any intention of maxi
cussiOn of his subject. He said that re-
cent annexation of territory by the
United States was somewhat out of line
with American history: that heretofore
land had been annexed that was con-
tiguous, except Alaska, and even that
was contiguous in the sense of being
close. This time, on the contrary, not
land but people had been annexed; that
territory formerly annexed had been
sparsely settled with civilized people
and was adapted to the use of free
American people. Lately there had been
annexed insular territory, situated in
the tropics and unfit for American hab-
itation. even if the land were not al
ready closely settled. That these islands
were a part of the United States. even
if at the time of the cession the Philip
pines were in revolt against Spain, Gen
Harrison declared that no interna tionaI
board of arbitration would question
General Harrison laid stress on the
fact that labor in our new possessions
was cheap and threatened competition
with labor in the states. He said that
these new peoples had no conception of
American ideals; that this country had
taken the position that the Chinese could
citizens Of this country and that there
fore the people of the Philippines would
be very slow to reach the stage where
they might with safety be made citizens?
The important question to be consid-
cred, said Mr.. Harrison, is the legal
status of the people that have lately
come under the control Of the United
States whether they are citizens or

to hold things in tenure of another mans

why should we make use of one tariff
law for the states and another fer the
territories? Is it that we propose to have
territories for colonization, crown colonies,
and that we are to be a world power?
Congress has the power to lay duties, i'm
ports etc. but all duties shall be uniform
only one door of escape. It is to deny
that the territories are a part Of the
United States Can duties be levied in
New York to be expended for the educa-
ton, etc, in Porto Rico If Porto Rico is

of the United States is a part of the Unit
