Bread
Legal and Illegal
The Royal Baking Powder is a pure,
grape cream of tartar powder. Its greater
healthfulness and absolute superiority over
other powders are shown by the United
States Government official tests, and are
so universally recognized that its use is
approved and encouraged by health officers
at home and abroad.
Guard your food against tho
alum backing powders.
Alum baking powders are considered so injurious to health, and
their promiscuous sale a source of such danger, that their use is univer
ally condemned by physicians and health officers. In many States the
law requires that they shall be branded to warn consumers that they
contain alum.
In the District of Columbia, under the laws of Congress, the use
of alum in bread, biscuit, cake and other food is a misdemeanor.
Alum baking powders may be known by their price. Powders
sold from ten to twenty-five cents a pound, or twenty-five ounces for
twenty-five cents, are not made of cream of tartar.

our city patrolmen," iald Chief of Police
Donahue. "With a total of ninety-eight
men the department Is pushed to the limit
all the time to police the town In any
decent way."
Mayor Moores has estimated a deficit of
KOOu In the lighting fund. This being true
a curtailment of both electric and gas
lighting during November and December
may be necessary.
Action was taken by the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners Thursday morn
ing toward reducing the Are and police
force because of lack of funds to carry
the present quotas to the end of the year.
The comptroller supplied statements
showing an estimated shortage of HS.Ono In
the fire fund and 19,006 In the police fund
If the full forces are continued to Decem
ber SI. According to the commissioners
nothing remains, under the stringent
provisions of the new charter, but to put
about half the 119 men In tho fire depart
ment and about one-fourth of the ninety
eight men In tbe police department on fur
lough, without pay, for the months of
.September, October, November and Decem
ber. This resolution, drawn up by Com
missioner Rrontch, was adopted by the
board:
Whereas, The funds provided for the
maintenance of the fir and police depart
ments Is Insufficient to keep theae depart
ments at their present standard to the close
of the present fiscal yenr, to do so creating
an overlap of about Jit.ooo In the police and
118,000 In the fire department.
And, whereas. The laws hold an official
personally responsible for any expenditure
In excess of the levy;
Therefore. Me It Resolved, That the
finance committee report to this board the
feasibility of reducing the fire and police
departments that the expenditures may
come within the amounts fixed by law.
Cltr Vp Aralast It.
"It Is worth a councilman' or tbe
mayor' liberty and peace and happiness
for a long time to come to attempt to vote
dollar' worth of expenditures over the
current year's revenues," said Assistant
City Attorney Herdman. "I don't say that
tho new charter treat the city justly, but
a far a I ran learn the municipality ha
no more right to have a police department.
If it hasn't the money to par for It, than
It ha to buy balloon. This town 1 up
against It, that alL There 1 nothing to
do, far a I know, but to cut the fire
and police departments to a point where
they rtU no more revenue than W per
eent Ot trio current lanes and as much
more ot the current taxes as may be paid
In."
Annually for year shortages In the fire
and police fund towards the close of the
year have been announced, but by some
city hall legerdemain the' department have
been maintained a usual and overlaps
created,' which were paid out of the fol
lowing year- Incomes. This left the two
department perpetually behind the game.
Depart meat Will Be Crippled.
"If a reduction In the Are department I
mad the town will be at the mercy of
flame and the department will be com
pletely disorganised," said Fir Chief Sal
ter. "W hav been doing our best with
Insufficient appropriation for year and
w cant do any more. Our small depart
ment I now stretched to the utmost limit.
A reduction In force of one-half cannot be
made without practically ruining It."
"A one-fourth cut will take off fifteen of

"The Confession ef a Wife" at tho
Krng.
A play In which the wife bends her ef
fort to concealment rather than confes
sion and whose story would have been
easily told nd as easily forgiven were It
not to th purpose of the plot that It b
complicated with the designs of a number
of person more or les collaterally Inter
ested, was presented to a falr-slxed house
t the Krug last night. The best thing that
can be said for "The Confessions of a
Wife" is that It Is lavishly and In some re
spect beautifully mounted. The setting of
the first scene la very pretty and the elec
trlo effects, simulating a waterfall In th
background and sunset, are very Natural
and artistic. Other scenes are garnished
with equal realism. The story of the play
I a rather trite one, with the customary
meoldratnatlo episodes and the company
having It In charge Is no better than It
might b. 'The Confessions ot a Wife"
will be the attraction until after Saturday
night, with a matinee on Saturday.

else bad failed, and I gladly reoomniejtd it to
other suffering women."
