Good Health
to the
children

Children especially arefond Of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
AS good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also cake that is health
full as well as dainty must be raised with
pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation Of the highest quality
Of food. 1t imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

The Louisville & Nashville railroad
announces that with the beginning of
the present year it inaugurated new
era in the matter Of issuing passes, and
that from now Oh it will discontinue the
practice Of issuing passes to public Off
cials, city, county and state. General
Counsel Stowe, who is credited with the
new order says he is DESTROYS of break
ing up the system of influencing public
officials by means of passes. If Mr..
Stowe is correctly quoted he has given
proof of the contention that passes are
given to public officials for the purpose
of influencing their actions. In this re-
spect pass is bride, and it is difficult
to see how any public official can other
wise consider it. The pass evil has
been responsible for vast amount of
corruption in public life, and if deter
mined to abolish it, then that railroad
will be doing the general public great
favor that other railroads should be
quick to initiate - The Commoner.
We fear that frank expression
from the Tennessee Legislature
would show that the above rule is
being "honored more in the breach
than in the observancc"in so far as
| our free and fearless solons are con
cerned. But whether enforced, or
not, it is a wise and righteous
policy, and, III spite of the UNI
friendly attitude CT this Company
towards the Editor of this paper,
we heartily commend this reform
move upon their part. and give
them cordial welcome to the

civic and official virtue.
1t may be true that the rail-
roads belated hostility to the pass
evil, grows out of self Interest en-
tirely. 1t may be that they see
that the pass bride to officials has
become so common, that it is con-
sidered by the recipient as a part
of the perquisites of his position,
and thus has lost its effectiveness as
