SSW i " i- n p1 ' V yn'ty,) m,- U THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY, AUGUST 1L, 3900. r'P3f'"1""'"r" f ITB If a ROYAL Baking Powder is indispens able to the prepara tion of the finest cake, hot-breads, rolls and muffins. Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to buy other powders because they are " cheap." Housekeepers should stop and think. If such powders are lower priced, arc they not inferior ? Is it economy to spoil your digestion to save a few pennies? Alum is used in some baking powders be cause it is cheap. It costs but a few cents a pound whereas the chief ingredient in a pure powder costs thirty. Hut alum is a corrosiv e poison which, taken in food, acts injuriously upon the stomach, liver and kidncs. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. MIDSUMMER DAY UNUSUALLY BUSY Concluded from Page 3. that tax paid by a man's wire Is well paid, nnd the man's vote Is valid. Kesardlntr the other Instance he says: "To enforce payment of a person's tax by notice to his employer, who re tains It out of his wases, under the net of 1SCG, applying to Carbon nnd Luzerne counties, bears no rela tion to a voluntary payment by a thhd paity, Mich as Is Intended to be pro hibited by the act of 1897. "The one Is a collection of the tax by legal process, the same as though the collector had distrained on tho poihonal property of the taxpayer; the other 1? the voluntary and unauthor ised payment by a mere lntermed dler, who does It for the purpose of polltlcnl advantnge or Influence. "In the one the tax receipt Is turned over to the party whose tax Is paid in settlement of the account due him from his employer, and no one can intervene to prevent It; In tho other, It is found In the hands of a third par ty, who may gle It up or retain It as satisfied that the voter- will vote or not according to his wishes. "There Is no possible chance, that we can see, that the local act of 1CG should be made use of to carry out tho pernicious political methods at w hlch the act of 1S97 alms, and w e aro therefoie of opinion that It is still In force, and that wheio taxes hav been collected In accordance with Its provisions, the voter is qualified the same as though he had paid the tax in person, or It had been otherwise collected from him by due process of law." As previously told in The Tribune, tho respondent, W. II. Thomas, who was returned as elected by a plural ity of four had his lead lncreasel oer his contestant, J. E. Walsh, by five. There were sixty-five Illegal votes. Of these, twenty-eight were found to have been enst for Thomas nnd thirty-two for Walsh, rive others Wfie scattering. No disposition is as yet made of the costs. Kctcham ent to Jail. B. F. Ketchnm, convicted last Jurif of embezzlement, was yesteulay f.on tenecd by Judge Kelly to pay a fine of J200 nnd undergo impilhonment In tho county Jail for six months.
