To the Recorder
The service of the Schuylklll Valley
Trolley Company is so abominable as
to merit the ridicule of all travellers.
No attempt seems to be made to meet
trains and so little importance Is at-tached
to the convenience of travellers
that the car often leaves the Railway
depot as the truln is almost in sight
giving the tired traveller a glimpse of
the car going over the hill as a balm
to his weary limbs. This would per-haps
be pardonable If the car was run-ning
on less than half hour schedule.
Again passengers after being shifted
from car to car at the Trenton Cut-off
are often compelled to sit for live min-uies
in the car to be amused my the an-tics
and remarks of employees Then
after the uncalled for delay, the car is
rushed along at a speed often danger-ous
to travellers. Perhaps the greatest
nuisance of all Is the uncalled for and
unwarranted speed at which many of
1 he cars are run between Hth and 4th
svenuea on the downward trip. ThlB
is particularly annoying on the trips
after 10 P. M., when many of the cars
run at the rate of 30 miles per hour,
thundering along, ringing the bell con-tinuously
and disturbing the sick and
the nervous especially. The ordinance
permitting cars to run on our streets,
limits the speed to 8 miles per hour,
and the proper Committee of Council
should see that the police enforce the
ordinance. I might add that running
at this spe.il It Is almost Impossible to
stop the car to get on, and passengers
hate frequently been left standing on
the side walk to admire the speed of
Ibis rapid transit Company. What the
people want is less speed, but better
and more frequent service.

Baking Powder
The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-able
to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-healthful
articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat-ing
cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family it
of first consideration.
Alum is used in many baging powders because it makes
them cheap. It costs less than two cents a pound.
Alum is a corrosive poison. Think of feeding it to chil-drenI
Yet the manufacturers ol well-known alum
powders eiesctually denying that their goods contain it.
