THE DUTY ON CARPET WOOL.

Any one who has occasion to purch aso carpets this fall will find that the prices have sharply advanced owing to the Me * Kinley law. It appears, however, that the top has not been reached, and that the manufacturers find themselves compelled to make a further advanoe. Th e Wool and Cotton Reporter, a strictly nonpartisan trade journal published at Boston, thus explains the situation in its last issue:

The increase in the duty on carpet wools renders it n&eessary for carnet manufacturers to change present prices the advance in, the price of oarpets over a year ago being' proportioi ately not as great as the increase in the duty on the raw material. One effect of the increased duty is seen in the use of more shoddy and hair in the making of ingrain carpets. The increased duty has unquestionably curtailed consumption and as hurt the manufacture of carpets. If wools were free we should have a better grade of ingrains atacheaper price. This wo’d lead to an improved demand from those who have to consider the cost even when purchasing an ingrain carpet, and the whole industry would be materially benefited.

It will be seen that the carpet wool tariff bears more severely upon the users of ingrain carpets than upon those who use the higher priced grades. They must either pay a good dqpl more for a carpet than they would havejjpaid a year ago, or they must pay the same money for a poorer carpet. In either event they are injured. While this is true, it is also true that no employe of a carpet mill has, so far as heard from, had his wages increased because of the passage of the McKinley law. Several thousand of them in Philadelphia have, however, had their wages cut during the last few months. The wool growers, too, are getting lower prices for their product than they re csived last year. If anybody in the United States has been really benefited by increase in the o-uty on carpet wools, it is hard to imagine who it can be,

Of Interest io Sunday Schools. * The Twenty First District of the Indiana State Sunday School Union comprises the counties of Jasper, Newton and Benton*. A circular letter has been sent me as president of this district, with a request that it be printed in all the papers of the above mentioned counties.

The circular letter comes from the Executive Committee of the State Union. The outline of the work of the state is given which is twofold.

It is desired that a Normal Training College be established. The expenses of this Training school are to be provided for by the Board of Regents. The collections from the schools of the county are not to be applied to the work of the college, but to the proper work of the Union as heretofore. The object of the college shall be the training of the Sunday School workers. It is clearly stated in the letter that the work of this School shall be separate and distinct from the Sunday School Union proper.

2 It Is hoped the work of Organization may be more vigorously prosecuted them heretofore. The Distnct Superintendent is urged to insist that all the counties be organized. The presidents of tfie different counties are advised to keep up the county Unions and to see that proper reports of the same be forwarded to the Secretary of the State Union at Indianapolis. Now I desire to say that the Indiana State Sunday School Union in these counties will depend upon the local workers. lam willing to assist but the work, in the nature of the case will depend in large measure upon the different county officers. It certainly is a good work and ore in which we can all most heartily unite. It is inter-denominational. It is in the interests of good society. It is missionary in spirit. Let us all unite to make the year ending with next Convention, June, 1892, the best we have ever witnessed. 1.1. Gokby, President of the 21st Dist.

* 40 years the standard, i ii rr~ A Pure Cream boyae, Taylor’s one spoon. Tartar Powder Contains Ammonia, Contain* Alum and Ammonia. Dr. Price gives larger and fuller cans than those of any other Baking Powder manufacturer. Above cut represents the comparative size of one pound can each *‘Dr. Price’s,” Royal” and “Taylor's One Spoon.** These cans were set side by side, then photographed down in exact proportions to admit the plate in this space. Ask your grocer to set a one pound can of any other brand alongside 1 lb. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, and observe the difference, as illustrated above Adulterated powders may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the small cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised as “Absolutely Pure,” All official examinations prove that it would be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure. The economy in using Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder does not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are given, but Dr. Price’s is a stronger, purer and more wholesome baking powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she knew it ? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow and blotched appearance. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from ammonia, alum, lime, or any other adulterant. The purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. Refuse all substitutes. They conceal either ammonia or alum.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.

SHALL WE DRIVE SLOW POISON FROM OUR BREAKFAST TABLE? ALUM AND AMMONIA IN O UR BREADA nuisance that troubled England fifty years ago is now rapidly spreading in this country, that is putting Alum im the bread we eat. This question is oausing a great deal of discussion at the present moment, as it is rev. aled that alum is oeing used as a substitute for oream of tarter in baking powders. A story is told that a very large percentage of the baking powders sold on the market contain either alum or ammonia, and many of them contain both these pernioious drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at the whole sale use of alum in bread, biscuit and pastry. To young children, growing girls, persons o weakly frame, alum Dread eaten morning, noon and evening is the most harmful. It is the small quantities taken at every meal that do the mischief. Alum is oheap, costing but two or three cenls a pound while oream of tartar costs 300, and the high prioe of oream of tartar has led cheap baking powder to b# made of alum. If the reader wants to know something of the corrosive qualities of alum let him touch a piece to his tongue then reflect how it acts on the tender delioate coats of the stomach.

One of the moat telling pcicts in Goveraor Oampbell'B Ada apeooh was his explanntion that the McKinley law, inoreaaing taxation from 40 to 60 per oent. in time of peace, was pronged on the plea of protection to Amerioan labor, and that, nevertheless, it had rednoed the wages of many laborers and inoi eased those of not a singlo one. Then followed a choice passage: I hold in my hand a list of thirty great establishmohts in this country, including the gentleman you named n while ago, Mr. Carnegie’s place, working 36,300 men, in whioh organized labor is banished, in whioh even the great Association of Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workersthat they seduoed in trying to get the tariff on tin, to raise their w ges; and in those establishments organization is not permitted, and I ask the Major now, and I ask him to answer hero, whether he upholds the ban* ishlng of organized labor from the great factories of the country. [Applause/] Since this speeoh was made the oigarmakers have concluded their great $25,000,000 Trust, with the view to the exclusion of Union labor. The great Dr. Boerkaave left three directions for preserving the health—keep the feet warm, the head 0001, and the bowels open. Had he practiced in our day, he might have added: and purify the blood with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; for he certainly would oonsider it the best.

Sore Throat Bronchitis, colds, coughs, asthma, and even consumption, in the early stages, yield to Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Singers, actors, auctioneers, public speakers, clergymen, teachers, lecturers, and all who are liable to disorder of the vocal find a sure remedy in this wonderful and well-known preparation. As* an emergency medicine, in cases of croup, whooping cough, etc., it should be in every household. " Two years ago I suffered severely from an attack of sore throat And Bronchitis It seemed as If I could not survive, all the usual remedies proving of no aval!. At last I thought of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and after taking two bottles of this medicine I was restored to health.”—Chas.

I was forced to taka to my bed and was so til that the doctors despaired of my recovery, supposing me to be in quick consumption. Change of climate was recommended, but I began to use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and soon found relief.

MOLASSES TASTERS.

A Business That Is Not One es ffmlteyse Pleasure. The professional molasses teeter is g martyr. Imagine a man having til sample twenty-five or thirty grades si that syrup, and then try to eat a square meal. Ob, yes, he can, to the reply. To be sure he tastes of thirty kinds of molasses in ono day, but he doee not swallow a particle, at least not more than a particle. This requires much practice, this abstinence from •wallowing, and to the great difficulty in the beginner’s path. He must pro tect his teeth, too, and therefore hto masticators require careful cleansing, . not alone to prevent decay, but in ow i der to keep hto gustatory sense perfectly neutral. "I have beos a molasses taster sos several years,” said a Boston msa, “and I assure you mine is no eaßy Job. There is a strain that the occupation imposes, and one that many succumb to, and therefore quit tho business. The tongue being very sensitive, re quires great care, and therefore I feel it best not to use tobacco, sweetmeats, >ar highly seasoned food.
