Avoid the Cheap and Big Can
= Baking Powders. >s....

The cheap baking powders have
but one recon- mendation: they osr-
tainly give the purchaser plenty of
powder for his money. These
powders are 90 carelessly made from
inferior materials that they will not
make light, wholesome food.
Further. these cheap baking powders
have q very small percentage Of
leavening gas; therefore it takes
from two to three times az much Of
such powder to raise the cake or
biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer
Of such powders is more than Calu-
met would be. Cheap baking
powders leave the bread sometimes
bleached and acid, sometimes yellow
and alkaline, and always unpalat-
able. They are never of uniform
strength and quality. Why not buy
perfectly wholesome baking
powder like Calumet, that is at: the
same time moderate in price and
one which can be relied upon7
Calumet is always the same, keeps
indefinitely and gives the cook the
least trouble. - s.

The arrival of the two weeks over

the fear expressed that she might
have struck the derelict vessel Lizzie
CHAPMAN, abandoned OF this coast on
March and since drifting in the
direct route of the transatlantic
steamers. But that the America or
some other liner has not met the dere-
lfct and disaster must be attributed
rather to good luck than good guild
ance. It seems an almost incredible
negligence that this abandoned wreck,
although frequently reported and in
position to be easily located, should
have been allowed to drift in the
steamship route since last March
without any. effort being made to find
and sink it.
Naval vessels have before now been
used for this purpose when the dere-
ltcts wr in line Of traffic to the port
OF New York and 1t has been popular
" supposed that in case of this
kind warship would be employed to
rid the steamship route OF the danger.
Perhaps the neglect in this instance
was due, to feeling that since this
wreck was floating in midocean It
was nobody's business in particular.

the warships were detailed when a

CLEVELAND, O., July 12.-Every

fight for. The good things have not

These words spoken by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation OF Labor at the conVen-
ton of the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers of America, may be
taken as referring to the proposed po-
lftical activity OF organized labor in
the United States.
Asked, before the convention, for
an expression regarding the entrance
OF labor union into politics, Gompers
said:
"At the proper time will make a
statement for the press. I do not
want the statement to be made public
in haphazard fashion.

SHIP AT PRESENT.

RICHMOND, Va. July 1.-THE fol-
lowing letter, received by DIR. R. H.
Pitt, of the Religious Herald, this
city, is self explanatory. It reads:
81 am looking fer a shepherd for
about 5000 shepherdless souls In a
destitute field in the southeastern
portion OF West Virginia. There is in
the section to which refer about q
dozen mining towns, among which
there is not single religious organ:
izatlon. Can you tell me of some
well.equipped, consecrated pastor
who would be willing to take the Cos
pei to these people? There is q
nucleus of intelligent Baptfsts in sew
eral of these towns, and churches
may be organized in the near future.
The minister who would do this work
could have his home in one of the
larger towns adjacent to the field.
where he would have the advantage
OF excellent schools. An adequate sal
airy will be paid. But the work is a
dificult one, and no one who is look
ing for an easy place need consider
1t. The main attraction the work af-
fords is TO be found IN the great need
of the Gospel. If you know of good
man, however, who might be inter
ested in such field. will you ask him
to address his inquiries to Rev. A. B.
