. CONGRESS IN SESSION. Tie Daily Routine ot Botli Houses Briefly Epitomized. What is Being Don© to Allay Finan cial Depression and Brin? Relief. Ninth Day.—The morning hour in 4he senate, Wednesday after the intro duction of bills, was largely occupied by a discussion rh to the overloading of the government buildings in Wash ington with public books and docu ments, Mr. Vest proposing a remedy by the passage of a bill appropria ting $300,000 for a building to bo known as the “Hall of Records.” A big batch of recess nominations was sent to the senate. There were eixty-six names on the list, which is confined to state and judicial nomina tions. There are five minister, twelve consuls-general, five secretaries of le gation, five justices, seventeen district attorneys, nineteen marshals, two so licitors, an assistant attorney general and a Chilian claims minister. Ninth Dat. —After the ordinary routine of morning business in the Senate, Thursday, the rejrnrt on the Montana senatorial case was taken up, and argument was made by Mr. Pasco against the right of Mr. Mantle to his seat under the governor’s appoint ment. Eleventh Day. —The senate was pre sided over Friday in the absence of the vice president by Mr. Harris, president of the senate pro tern. A long communication from the secretary of the treasury was presented and read on the subject of gold and silver payments. A motion to adjourn till Monday was made. Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, concurred in the necessity of action on the national bank bill. The mo tion to adjourn over was withdrawn. Mr. Voorhees then reported from the committee on finance the bill to dis continue the purchase of silver bul lion, and declaring it to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as the standard money. Mr. Vest, on be half of the minority of the finance com mittee, presented a substitute for the bill. The substitute fixes the number of grains of silver in the silver coins of the United States—464.4 grains of pure silver per dollar and proportion ately for half dollars, quarters and dimes. The bill and substitute were placed on the calendar and Mr. Voor hees gave notice that he would call up the bill and address the senate upon it Tuesday. Tho bill for the increase of national bank circulation was then taken up and Mr. Allen, populist, of Nebraska, advocated the amendment •previously offered by him to suspend interest 6n the bonds on which the increased circulation is based. After considerable discussion of the bank bill Mr. Allen’s amendment was re jected—yeas 11, nays 39. There were a good many pairs announced. The next question was on the amendment offered by Mr. Cockrell for the redemp tion, at its face value and actual in terest, of such 2 per cent bonds as may 'be presented for redemption and to issue greenbacks to pay for them, i The amendment was opposed by Messrs. McPherson and Sherman. Mr. Cock rell advocated it. Mr. Voorhees in terposed a motion for an executive session. The senate then went into executive session, first allowing Mr. Butler to offer an amendment to the .bank bill, repaling the 10 per cent tax on the notes of state banks. At 4 :30 o’clock the senate adjourned until Monday. THE HOUSE. Ninth Day. —ln the house, Wed nesday morning, after adopting a res olution calling on the secretary of the treasury for information respecting silver purchases, the debate on the Wilson bill was resumed, Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, speaking for the bill. Mr. McCall was followed by Mr. Combs, of New York. While speak ing for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, he referred to notes and thereby broke the natural flow of his eloquence. Tenth Day. —Mr. Daniels, of New York, opened Thursday’s debate in the house with a speech urging the uncon ditional repeal of the purchase sec tions of the Sherman act. He was followed by Mr. Cooper, of Florida, democrat, who announced himself as opposed to every proposition made by the silver men and for unconditional repeal. Mr. Goldzier, democrat, of Illinois, spoke in favor of the repeal of the Sherman bill and raised his voice in support of the creditor class, which did not, he said, consist of the bankers and brokers of Wall street, but of the great mass of the people. At the conclusion of Mr. Goldzier’s remarks, Mr. Weadock announced the death of his colleague, J. Logan Chipman, of Michigan. The usual resolutions were adopted and the speaker appointed the following com mittee to take action in the j>remises: Messrs. Weadock, Whiting, McMillin, Gorman, Caruth, Cannon, of Illinois, Powers, Haugen and Ailkin. The house then, as a tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased at 11:50 o’clock adjourned. Eleventh Day. —The new members of the house continue to come to the front. The star speech of the day, Friday, was delivered by Mr. Sibley, of Penn -Bylva""nia, the only member of the Key stone state who is opposed to placing the Uuited States upon a single gold standard and who is a firm advo cate of bimetallism. The silver debate was resumed immediately after the reading of the journal and the floor was accorded Mr. Sibley, who spoke for more than two hours, and not for a moment did he lack the attention of his colleagues; and in his maiden speech he took the front rank with the orators and humorists of the house. The debate was then suspended for the time being, in order to allow Mr. Catch ings to report from the committee ou rules a resolution authorizing the 'speaker to appoint the various com mittees of the house. No additional committees are provided for, but an increase in membership is made in some of the more impurtant commit tees. The resolution was adopted and the silver debate was resumed, Mr. Haines,'democrat of New York, tak ing the floor. He y?a,& followefl by Mr. English, democrat of New Jer sey. Dr. Everett, democrat of Massa chusetts, in an old-fashioned and cour teous puritan manner, raised his voice in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law. Mr. Simpson, populist of Kan sas, spoke in favor of free coinage. He severely criticised the demo crtic party for its absolute uselessness. Who had ever heard of the democratic party repealing or making a law. (Laughter.) The dem ocratic party was not a party of pro gress. (Republican applause.) There was no democratic party any more; it was President Cleveland’s party. (Laughter.) He also paid his sarcas tic respects to the republican party and oharged the present depression of business to republican legislation. Be fore Mr. Simpson had concluded his remarks, the house at 5 o’clock took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening ses sion to bo devoted to the debate on the silver bill. About twenty-five members only were present when the house met at 8 o’clock. Simpson concluded his speech. Mr. Morgan, democrat of Missouri, advo cated the free coinage of silver. Mr. Talbert, democrat of South Carolina, appealed for free coinage of silver. He was ready to stand by the free coinage plank of the Chicago platform, as he was ready so stand by every plank of the platform upon which he had been elected. At the conclusion of Mr. Talbert’s remarks the house at 10:15 o’clock p. m., adjourned until Satur day. Twelfth Day. —ln the house, Satur day, the silver debate was resumed immediately after the reading of the journal and McCreary, democrat, of Kentucky, took the floor in advocacy of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Mr. Catchings, democrat, of Mississippi, said ho would vote for the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher man act and he would vote against the proposition, directly or indirect ly, looking to the free coinage of sil ver in this country at this time at any ratio that could be suggested. He was followed by Mr. Livingston of Georgia. Mr. Richards, democrat, of Ohio, believed that President Grover Cleveland was right in attributing to the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill the present business depression. The house then, at 5 oclock, took a re cess uutil 8 o’clock. At the evening session of the house there w r as a small attendance on the floor. Mr. Curtis, republican, of Kansas, spoke in sup port of the Wilson bill. Mr. Broderick, republican, of Kansas, spoke in favor of bimetallism and prosperity which terms he regarded as synonymous. Mr. Clark, democrat of Missouri, address ed the house in.favor of the coinage of silver. At the conclusion of Mr. Clark’s speech the house adjourned till Mon day. DULL BUSINESS. Dun & Co.’s Repo: t of Trade for the Past Week. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: There is a rift in the clouds. Faint and indefinite signs of improvement are all the better because they come, not from possibly delusive hopes or from momentary foreign aid, but from the good sense and tho won derful recuperative air of the people themselves. Business is trying to go ahead without waiting for Washington. Imported gold of $9,000,000 or more during the week does not go to the right spot, but the people are creating a home-made currency for themselves by using certified checks in paying hands, selling local accounts and pur chasing grain and cotton. The bank cir culation has increased $20,000,000, but the decrease on deposits of national banks alone from May 4 to July 12 was $193,165,588, and during the past month withdrawals have also been heavy. Little money comes back as yet from timid hoarders, and the par alysis of exchange is merely as com plete as ever, but that very fact push ed each section and city into relying more on itself and less on government and on wall street. Many concerns are failing or closing, but resumptions are now- becoming somewhat frequent and in the very shrinks of production we see evidences that the demand must soon evertake the supply. No such shrinkage resulted at any time in five weary years after the panic of 1873, as has already appeared in the great industries. Pig iron does not rally, but sells at sl4 at New York and sl3 at Pittsburg, for No. 1, though the weekly output has been reduced 46 per cent since May Ist, but a few large iron and steel works are begin ning to resume operations. Though five failed and tw-enty-four stopped during the week,fourteen have re sumed. Only a third of the Connells ville coke ovens are at work; but coke at $1.25 gives a better chance to iron manufacture. Sales of wool in seven weeks have been only 17,575,- 600 pounds, against 50,327,380 last year and 30,450,800 in 1891, and it is stated that 93,000 looms and 4,200,- 000 spindles in New England are now idle, which means more than a quar ter of the cotton spindles in the coun try ; but twenty-nine mills and five other cotton and woollen mills have resumed, while twenty-eight have stopped and one failed during the week. The more hopeful sign should be in terpreted with the full understanding that a genuine revival of business can not begin until a larger demand for goods and better conditions otherwise enable a greater proportion of the shops and mills to employ and remu nerate labor as usual. As yet the works closing exceed in number those resuming, and the failures continue each week to restrict the number of firms able to share in the employment of hands and the transaction of busi ness. The failures this week number 455 in the United States, against 192 for the same week last year, and 27 in Canada, against 25 last year. Of the United States failures 154 were in the eastern states, 84 in the southern states and 217 in the western states. Pensacola’s Quarantine Raised. A Pensacola special says: At an early hour Saturday, Mayor Chipley received an official communication from Governor Jones, of Alabama, that Alabama’s quarantine proclama tion had been revoked. The railroad schedules were immediately placed in force, and both night and .ay trains are now running just as they were be fore the ecare upset matters. OUR LATEST DISPATCHES. Tlie Happenio£S ot a Day GironicM in Brlel and Coacise Paraarapls And Containing tLe Gist of the News From All Parts of the World. Cable dispatches of Sunday from Bnda Pesth state that the cholera has broken out in Sisonolk, fifty-four miles east of the city. A terrific lightning storm passed over Denison, Texas, Saturday night. Many persons w-ere struck by light ning, some of whom may die. A New York special says: A heavy storm bioke over this region Saturday night. The rainfall was tremendous, the culverts in the three cities being inadequate to carry off the flood, which caused the streets to be practi cally impassable. The first car-load of rice, a thousand bushels from Hamilton Disston’s muck lands near Kissimmee, Fla., arrived at Charleston, S. C., Saturday evening. The crop on theDisston lands is good, and the quality the best. The rice will be milled iu Charleston. A heavy hailetorm twelve miles east of Crookston, Minn., Saturday swept over a strip three-quarters of a mile wide and extending from Beltram to Twin Valley, fifteen miles. Crops were about one third cut. One-half of the balance is said to be destroyed. Hail fell the size of walnuts. A Montgomery, Ala., special says: Although quarantine was raised Mon day against Pensacola, both by the state of Alabama and the city of Montgomery, the governor and mayor issuing proclamations to that effect, the quarantine is still in force against Brunswick and all infected places. Official advices have just been re ceived at City of Mexico from Guya mas in the state of Sonora, that a band of 200 Yaquis Indians, on a cat tle stealing expedition near Arenas en countered a company of national troops under Captain Ayala. In the fight which followed seven men of the troops were killed. At Bonnet Mills, on the Missouri river, twelve miles east of Jefferson City, Mrs. Fosterm, her two children and her sister were drowned Saturday night. They were moving from one side of the river to the other and most of the goods having been taken across the little family were following in a skiff, which was overturned. A special from Port Tampa, Fla, says that the German steamship Mark omania, which arrived there from Vera Cruz, Tampico and Progresso last Thursday, w-as ordered to the United States quarantine station at Dry Tur tugas Saturday with a reported case of yellow fever aboard. The vessel had been detained and disinfected at Mul let key, the state quarantine station. An accident occurred at Troy,N. Y., Sunday morning on the Lehigh Valley road crossing on Lake street, in which five people were instantly killed. The five unfortunates started with a spirit ed team to drive to church. As they approached the Lehigh Valley flyer came thundering along at a speed of nearly fifty miles an hour, and crashed into the vehicle. All were mangled beyond recognition. The board of directors of the North Carolina railroad in session at Raleigh Saturday decided to surrender the ex emption from taxes which that road has enjoyed. A meeting of the stock holders is called to meet October 12th to ratify the action of the board of di rectors. This places the last road in the state on the tax list. Goveimor Carr appointed this new board w r ith this end in view. The Fort Wayne mail and express, carrying $250,000 in gold coin con signed to Chicago, was wrecked at Whiting, Ind., Friday night. The engine was thrown from the track and the car which contained the coin was burst open and the treasury partly thrown out and scattered in the mid dle of the highway. A posse was se cured to guard the money, and at dawn Saturday morning it w r as taken to Chicago by another train. The reports of specie from the port of New York for the past week were $264,600, all silver. Of this amount $225,000 went to Europe and $9,600 to South America. The imports of specie at the port of New York for the week were $11,253,006, of which $11,249,700 were gold and $4,246 sil ver. The gold consisted of $843,849 American gold coin,. $1,662,398 for eign gold coin and $1,152,168 gold bullion. Information was received by the Charleston health authorities Satur day about noon that there was yellow' fever at Tampa, Fla. The telegram announced that a steamer had arrived with eight cases of the disease aboard. As usual, the authorities took imme diate action in the matter and declared a quarantine against Tampa. The police department was notified and special officers were immediately de tailed to watch each incoming train and prevent any passenger from Tampa arriving in the city. Surgeon Branham died at Bruns wick, Ga., at 5 o’clock Sunday morn ing after lingering twenty-six hours in an unconscious state. As soon as the death was bulletined, a large crow'd of sympathizing friends gathered on the street corners and discussed the un fortunate man’s fate. The body was wrapped in sheets, soaked in bichloride of mercury, and around the lifeless form a large national Hag was rolled. The casket and body were quickly transported to a grave in the new cemetery, and in the presence of the surgeons, the undertaker and minister, was lowered to its last resting place. A dispatch of Sunday from Texar kana, Ark., gays: The majority of the democrats in this section are strongly in favor of the free coinage of silver, and are naturally much depressed with President Cleveland’s late message to congress on that question. At Bu chanan a mass meeting of about 150 voters, nearly all democrats, was held Friday night. Resolutions bitterly denouncing Cleveland as the cham pion of the money power and an en emy of the common people were adopted, after which the president was hanged in effigy and afterwards shot and riddled with bullets. GLADSTONE’S ANNOUNCEMENT That He Will More to Cot Off Debate on Home Rule Bill. A London cablegram states that in the house of commons Friday Mr. Gladstone announced that he would move the adoption of a resolution to apply the closure to the report stage of the home rule bill on August 25th. Major Chamberlain, leader of the unionists, gave notice that he would move as an amendment to Mr. Glad stone’s resolution that the house de clare that the government’s proposal was calculated to degrade the house into a voting machine, depriving the British majority of their constitutional rights, and ought, therefore to be withdrawn. SOUTHERN NEWS ITEMS. The Drift ot Her Progress and Pros perity Briefly Hoied. Happenings of Interest Portrayed in Pithy Paragraphs. The Cole Manufacturing Company of Memphis, Tenn., on Wednesday filed an application in chancery, asking that a receiver b© appointed to take charge of the personal property of W. O. Collier, president of The Mem phis Appeal Avalanche Company, and his associates in business. A dispatch from Selma, Ala,, says: Captain Phillips, of the Dallas Dra goons, received orders from Governor Jones Wednesday night to hold his command in readiness to march to the scene of the trouble in Clarke county, at a moment’s notice. More trouble is feared from the Mechamites and the state troops may be necessary to end it. A Danville, Va., special says: An awful accident occurred at the county line trestle, just east of Milton, on the Atlantic and Danville railroad, Wednesday morning at 2 :50 o’clock, by which two passenger coaches and a sleeper were precipitated into the creek below, a distance of sixty feet and the killing of seven persons out right and the wounding of a number of others. Dr. Horlbeck, city health offioer of Charleston, S. C., states in regard to the reported cases of yellow fever on board the schooner at Philadelphia, that no ships of any description what ever had left his port with any sick ness on board; that there had not been in Charleston or at any point in the state any case of yellow fever or any case of the slightest suspicion of yellow fever in the year 1883. A telegram from Brunswick, Ga., says: Drs. Dunwoody and Branham and O. Y. Barkuloo, the nurse, were plaeed on board a steamer Wednesday for the government quarantine at Sap elo, where they will remain until all danger from their contracting fever will be passed. All looked well and reported good health. They were well disinfected by Dr. Hugh Buford before leaving the house. The intense newspaper rivalry in Chattanooga resulted in The News sending a special representative to Cincinnati to investigate the Amick treatment for consumption. The Times had reported sensational cures through it, which the News assumed to ques tion. Thursday The News acknowl edges Amick’s discovery is all it is claimed, and admits the cures he is daily effecting are indisputable facts. It is reported that the miners at Corburn, Va., are in a starving condi tion. A few day ago the mines at that place shut down, throwing a number of men out of employment and leaving them without money to buy transpor tation to some other town or even to buy bread. Their condition is pitiable in the extreme. On the very verge of starvation, they will steal everything that w T ill serve as as food for them selves and their suffering families. Major William Mattison Robinson, city editor of the New Orleans Pica yune, died Friday, aged fifty-three years. He was born in New Hamp shire, of revolutionary ancestry, set type and reported in Boston before the war, rose to the rank of brevet major of Massachusetts volunteers, and became a resident of Louisiana when the war ended. He has been one of the leaders of local journalism in New Orleans for twenty-five years. The creditors of Josiah Morris & Cos., of Montgomery, Ala., held a meeting Thursday to formulate plans for re-opening the bank, and the committee appointed to examine the condition of the firm’s affairs present ed a report, which was received with enthusiasm and unanimously adopted. Out of 650 creditors more than 300 signed the agreement, provided in the report, their claims aggregating about $1,000,000. All will sign and the bank will resume. DIRECTED TO THE CAPITAL. A Scheme to Land Five Thousand Un employed Workmen in Washington. A special of Friday from St. Louis, Mo., says: Committees of the unem ployed in the various labor associations will take up their station at the union depot and the freight yards of the va rious roads running into St. Louis from the west, meet all persons look ing for work, explain the situation and ask the traveler to proceed to Wash ington, D. C., to make a demonstra tion before congress. Leaders in every large city in the country have agreed to the plan. It is expected to gather five thousand men in Wash ington. YELLOW FEVER AT TAMPA. Eight Cases of the Dread Disease Re ported in That Harbor. A Savannah, Ga., special of Sunday says: Eight cases of fever are reported from Tampa. The report comes from the health officer at that port. It is understood that the cases are on a schooner in the harbor that has just come from Havana. The details are meager, but enough to induce the city authorities to at once order a quaran tine against Tampa, and the most rigid steps will be taken to keep anybody who has in any way been exposed to the fever from coming near Savannah. In 1874 all London houses were com pelled for the first time to be connected with sewera. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Affairs of Gmmiit ani Rontine of tie Eonse and Senate Discussed. Notes of Interest Concerning: the Peo ple and Their General Welfare. The Senate Finance Committee, Thursday, agreed to report favorably a bill for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act. Comptroller Eckels was informed Friday that the People’s national bank, of "Winston, N. C.,capital SIOO,- 000, had suspended. The Wall street people are rapidly arriving at the conclusion that they cannot force congress to repeal the Sherman law and rule silver entirely out as a money metal. They are, therefore, now making propositions to congress; advising congress what kind of silver laws to pass. The decision of the court of arbi tration in the Behring sea matter ap pears to give general satisfaction at the state department and to the mem bers of the senate committee on for eign relations, which committee had all those questions in charge when the treaty was before the. senate. The committee on rules of the house has decided upon several changes in the rules. They will be reported to the house before the silver debate has been completed, and with general con sent will be ordered printed. No action is to be'taken on them, however, until the debate on silver has been finished. The senate finance committee will report a bill allowing national banks to issue currency to the par value of their bonds on deposit. The leading advocates of this bill express the opin ion that the senate will pass it without delay. Should it become a law it will add fifteen or sixteen million dollars to the circulating currency of the country. The first meeting of the house com mittee on rules of the fifty-third con gress was held Thursday morning. All the members were present and but lit tle progress was made. Only that por tion of the rules relating to the pro posed increased membership of com mittees w r as considered at the meeting. The committees affected are those of the ways and means, appropriations, judiciary, banking and currency, coin age weights and measures, interstate and foreign commerce, rivers and har bors and agriculture. The treasury officials are now dis cussing a plan to supply the threaten ing deficiency in the treasury, to get rid of the accumulation of 6,000 tons of silver bullion and supply the coun try with $150,000,000 of new curren cy. The cash ballance on last Thurs day dropped half a million. The con stant fall in the cash balance has at tracted the attention of Mr. Carlisle again and he has several plans under consideration to relieve this steady pressure. One of these plans is the issue of temporary loan certificates against the future revenues, such as are regularly issued by the Brit ish government, bearing 1 per cent in terest. Senator Gordon’s Bill. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, intro duced a bill in the senate Tuesday morning suspending the ten per cent tax on state banks for six months, and addressed the senate in behalf of it. “I do not claim,” said the senator, “that it is a panacea for all our ills, but I believe it would stop the panic in fifteen days. The city of Savannah is the chief cotton point in our state. Its banks require money to move the cotton crop. This bill will enable one Savannah bank to issue notes to the amount of twenty per cent on its capital stock, and the other six banks would endorse it and six hundred thousand dollars at least would be thrown into that great cotton center. This would be as good money as is in circulation in the United States and would be ac cepted by my people. Our banks are now not able to even get their own money. This temporary currency will remove the embargo against our own cotton crop. It would be equal to a ship load emptied into the state.” Unconditional Repeal Bill in tbe Senate. Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, went over to the goldbugs Friday and voted in the senate committee on finance to report an unconditional repeal bill. His vote carried the bill through. Without it the committee was a tie — sto 5. The vote stood : Yeas—Voor hees, McPherson, Sherman, Morrill, Aldrich, Allison, the last four being republicans ; nays—Harris, Vest, Vance, Jones, of Arkansas, and Jones, of Nebraska. The bill as reported repeals the purchasing clause of the Sherman law and then declares for bimetallism. The full text of the bill is as follows, omitting the enacting clause: That eo much of the act approved July 14, 1890, en itled an act directing tbe purchase of silver bullion and issue of treasury notes there on, and for other purposes, as directs :lic secre tary of the treasury to purchase from time to t me silver bullion to the aggregate amouut of four milliou five hundred thousand ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in each mouth at the market price thereof, not exceed ing $1 for 371.55 grains of pure silver, aud to issue in payment for such purposes treasury notes of th i United States, be an 1 the same is hereby repealed. And it is hereby declared to be tbe policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money and to coin both gold and silver into money into equal in terest and exchangeable value. Such equity to be secured through international agreement-, or by such saf guards of legislation as will in sure the maintainance of the parity in value of the two metals and the tqnal power of every dollar at all times in tbe markets and in the payment of debts. And it is hereby further declared that tbe efforts of the government should b'; steadily di ricted to thj establishment of such a safe sys tem ■ f bimetallism as wi.l maintain at all times the eqnal power of every dollar coined or issued by the stat> s in the market and tbe payments of debts. This bill gives the senate something tangible to proceed upon and opene the fight and senator Vorhees will make the first speech upon the bill. Some of the conservative silver men like Judge Culberson and Mr. Bankhead are be coming somewhat doubtful about the result in the senate. The greatest depth under water ever reached by a diver is believed to have been attained by (Japt. John Christian sen, who went down 193 feet below the surface at Elliot Bay, Wash., recently.

It is a curious fact that night is the time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much more in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement. Measure a vine at night, then measure it again in the morning and the next night, and it will be found that the night growth is two or three times that ac complished during the day. Dur ng the day the plant is very busy gather ing nourishment from various sources, and during the night this raw material is assimilated into the plant life. The same fact is true of the animal creation. Children grow more rapidly during the night. In the daytime, while the child is awake and active, the system is kept busy disposing of the wastes consequent ou this activity, but during sleep the system is free to extend its operations beyond the mere replacing of wornout particles; hence the rapid growth. This is why so many invalids need so much rest and sleep. The system has been taxed for years beyond its ability to repair the tissues, and hence the organism has become worn and disabled from the accumulation of waste products, and disease has re sulted.— Good Health.

Guess I’ll let him adopt some profession.” The New Bread As endorsed and recommended by the New=York Health Authorities. Royal Unfermented Bread is peptic, palatable, most healthful, and may be eaten warm and fresh without discomfort even by those of delicate digestion, which is not true of bread made in any other way. To make One Loaf of Royal Unfermented Bread: 1 quart flour, i teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonful sugar, 2 heaping teaspoonfuls Royal Baking Powder,* cold boiled potato about the size of large hen’s egg, and w r ater. Sift together thoroughly flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; rub in the potato; add sufficient water to mix smoothly and rapidly into a stiff batter, about as soft as for pound-cake; about a pint of water to a quart of flour will be required—more or less, according to the brand and quality of the flour used. Do not make a stiff dough, like yeast bread. Pour the batter into a greased pan, 4 by 8 inches, and 4 inches deep, filling about half full. The loaf will rise to fill the pan when baked. Bake in very hot oven 45 minutes, placing paper over first 15 minutes' baking, to prevent crusting too soon on top,. Bake immediately after mixing. Do not mix with milk. * Perfect success can be had only with the Royal Baking Powder, because it is the only powder in which the ingredients are prepared so as to give that continuous action necessary to raise the larger bread loaf. * * ★ The best baking powder made is, as shown by analy sis, the “Royal.” Its leavening strength has been found superior to other baking powders, and, as far as I know, it is the only powder which will raise large bread perfectly.
