Poison in
No article entering so generally into the food of every
household is so generally and villainously adultered as bak
ing powder. These adulterated powders are shoved upon
the public with,the greatest persistency. , ' : ',
-i , Throbbing'advertisements in newspapers claiming this
brand or that is absolutely pure, backed by analyses and cer
tificates, and yet they are adulterated with ammonia or alum.
It is to be hoped the law will take hold of these merciless
manufacturers and punish them for destroying the stomachs
of the unsuspecting consumer. . . . ; ; '
., Amid all this fraud and deceit Dr. Price's Cream Bak
ing Powder stands almost alone battling for pure food and
continues to furnish a pure cream of tartar powder at almost ;
the same cost to the people as. the ammoina and alum pow
ders are sold at, yet it costs much more to manufacture.
) Dr. Price's . Cream , Baking Powder is of the highest
strength. It produces the largest amount of leavening power ,
attainable in a pure baking powder. It is free from ammo
nia or any other adulteration. No powder does such work.
Housewives who have tested all use Dr. Prices only. '

A man came into the editorial room
today and broke everybody up with
this story: Several years ago a pay
master in the United States army in
vested $600 in a piece of ground in
Spokane Falls. The other day he sold
it for $54,000. The excitement that
greeted this story had scarcely died
away, and tne boys m tne room were
fanning each other and cutting each
other's hair to cool their skulls, when
another man came in. and told this
story: In 1882 a Pennsylvanian went
to Denver, and when he landed he had
enough to buy a tent and a few mining
tools. He went prospecting, made a
little money and then went back to
Denver and bought real estate. Today
he Is worth $4,060,000. The only sound
that greeted this story was a succession
of dull thuds as men dropped to the
floor. , '
There was a hiatus of half an hour,
when another man came in and said he
had just heard of a young man in one
of the mushroom towns of Virginia who
had invested a little money in real es
tate right after breakfast, and when he
sat down to dinner had cleaned up
$1,000 on " his purchase. There are
three half crazy men in this office.
Whenever a man comes into the edi
torial room he is asked before he gets
warm: "How much did the fellow
makef Then he tells his little story
and goes out, leaving the boys just as
poor as ever. Harrisburg Telegraph.

Whfe. .etins had been called to order
Brother jSer arose and said: '
"One e. nin' las' June, while gwine home
from a session of dis club, 1 bad de misfor
tune to fall into an open sewer. I war tooken
out fur dead, an' fur months I war a cripple.
Our club did not feel like gwine on widout
me, jan' hence no meetins bev bin held fur de
ss! six months. Doorin' de interval Paradise
hall was rented to a commishun mareuant,
de library an1 relics keerfully stored away,
an' we open fur bizness agin to-nigbt widout
de loss of a cent.
"A few of our members hev wandered
away, but only a few. : Whalebone Howker
went ober '-. to Canada an' adopted a
boss widout axin' bis owner, an' be has bin
laid away in de archives fur three years.

chief of police took an interest In hira an' got
him a warm place fur some time to come.
Three or four others am not heab to meet wid
us on dis occashuu, an' it ar' perhaps jist as
well dat dey hain't.
"As many different reports hev gone
abroad as to de natur' of my injoories, an' as
some of de newspapers bev received a false
impreshun, I will heab state a few facks. 1
fell about fo'teen feet 1 didn't say nuffln'
when 1 fell I lay dar' in a catamose state
fur three hours befor' I was diskivered an'
rescued. When de doctors took hold of me
it was found tbat thecerbellum bad bin badly
fractured ui two places; de clavicle bone had
binonhinged, de diaphragm was broken; de
bronchial ramifications was unconscious; de
pulmonous arteries bad bin driven cl'ar into
de left renter'cle. In addisbun, as dey
found on a second examination, dar' war two
kinks in de lumbar vertebra: , de carotid
artery had become all mixed up wid de tri
cupsid valve, an' de epigastric region bad col
lided wid de right auricle. Nobody thought
I could pull frew, but yere I am, almos' as
good as befo', an' ready fur de nex' calamity.
"De doctors hev cautioned me to be a leetle
keerful about exertin' de tibialis anticus too
much fur a few weeks to come, an' to gin de
flexor carpiradialis as much rest as possible,
but de crisis has passed an' dar is no fear of a
relapse. I wish to return my thanks to all de
members of de club in particular, an' to my
outside friends in gineral, and to say dat we
shall hold reg'lar meetin's of dis club ebery
two weeks from now on until furder notice.

a brief address." '
"My fren's," began Sir Isaac, as he care
fully arose, "de subjick of my address dis

loan of two bits fur a week, 1 got it widout
the least besitashun. He didn't draw down
his left eye an' whisper 'Chestnuts,' an' softly
inquar' if he had hay seed in his ear. In my
ju venous days, when an ole man cum to me
an' put his hand on my bead an' toled me
dat spreein' around nights was de side doab
to state prison, 1 didn't grin in bis face nor
whistle in his ear. If I wanted a cup of
sugar or a drawin' of tea, every naybur was

ago I could walk into a butcher shop an'
order a soup bone an' tell bim to charge it,

dat order, an' do butcher would pint to a

dat I would pay fur it next week. If I should

STITCHES IN THE BACK CUBED.
Peter C. Vandewater, Commissioner of
Highways, Woodsburgh, Long Island, N.

" DuriDg the last three years I have been
troubled with stitches in the back. . They
came on without the slightest warning, and
laid me up for two and three weeks at a time,
and nothing did me any good. Over a year
ago I had a more severe attack. I could
hardly move. My wife then applied an
Allcock's Porous Plasteb on the small of
the back, where the kink appeared to be. I
never had used one before. In a short t ime
all pain had vanished, and the next morn
ing I got up and attended to my business.
I put a fresh plaster on every week for a
month, and I feel that I have been entirely
cured; as I have not had an attack in the
last eighteen months."
