Look well 6 What You Eat.


 That the ordinary diet of today does not contain the necessary elements to keep the body and mind in health under the strain of this the nineteenth century is not generally understood yet it is a very important and well established fact, and one that is exhibit ed in the tired faces of almost every man, woman and child we meet. The importance of securing to the diet the necessary repair- ing clements that our business or profes- sion demands, together with condition that insures the entrance of those elements into the blood even in the presence of weak and debilitated digestive functions, cannot be oYerestimated. The Blanchard Mfg. O.. 27 Union Square, manufactures series of foods from the three great life staples, wheat, beef and milk especially prepared and adapted to repair the loss of energy incident to any bus mess or profession, thus securing health to body and mind. These foods do not conflict with any medicine, are exceedingly palatable and applicable to all conditions, a small quan- tity being taken with each meal, fifty cent package furnishing the desired clements to an adult for one week. Packages from fifty cents to two dollars. Write for free pamphlet and give briefly condition of stomach, also your occupation, and we will furnish all infor- nation, pEices, etc.

Unpaid Taxes and Assessments.
The Effort on Foot to Have Them Col-
 

The Effort on Foot to Have Them Col-
 1eeteds
 The fact that the Court of Common Coun- oil has voted to appoint committee to con sider what additional legislation is needed with reference to the collection of back tax es. assessments and other liens, is causing some comment. As is well known, many thousands of dollars are due the city and town on account of unpaid taxes and assess ments. Some of these debts began as far back as 1865. A large amount about $70,- 000-is due the city on account of assess ments for sewers, pavements, etc. A part of this is charged against prominent and wealthy citizens, who prefer to pay the per cent. annual interest demanded than to pay their assessments. Some of it is, of course, charged against those who have felt unable to pay. It is expected that in the course of l time the tax collector will be authorized to take legal proceedings for the collection of | these debts and some interesting law ques- tions may arise It has been reported that there is g disposition on the part of some to test the constitutionality of the law by which assessments are laid in this city. Similar \ tests have been made in many other cities, but they have almost, or quite invariably re suited in favor of the law.

HosDftml Notes,

It seems probable that amputation will have to be resorted to in the case of Cooney, the brakeman of Southwick, Mass, whose leg was badly fractured few weeks ago. The operation was deferred at the earnest wish of the unfortunate man.
 Howard Buzzee, the water boy who had his foot cut of by cars at the depot, is out about the hospital grounds on crutches
 John Ryan, the elderly ex-soldier of Dan bury, whose leg was injured by the cars near the depot few months ago, is in a fair way to recover. He has been critically ill.
 There are 94 patients in the institution. Mir. George Blount, the apothecary, has re- signed and will return to England.

Buckwheat Cakes.


 Science has even revolutionized the method of making buckwheat cakes. The old way, setting to raise over night, souring, ferment- ing, decomposing. and destroying the nutri- tient part of the flour, carbonic acid gas was produced and the cakes made light. But well-founded suspicion has always existed that buckwheat cakes made in this manner are unwholesome and indigesfible, because the chemical action that takes place so alters the flour from it's original character that the souring or decomposing process continues in the stomach and gives rise to dyspepsia and kindred troubles.
 The new way does away with all decompos- ing, all fermenting or souring, and places upon our tables smoking hot buckwheats in less than 15 minutes. The leavening element of the new process, which is the @Royal Bak- ing PoWder," being mixed, with the flour and moisture added evolves the leayen- ing gas, and in no way changes the dough from it's original sweet and nutritious condi- ton.
 In point of healthfuIness it is a positive fact that buckwheat and griddle cakes made in this way with the tsRoyaF' powder are very healthy, and can be eaten with impunity by dyspeptics and inyalids without discom- fort.
 Various preparations and mixtures have been put on the market from time to time to take the place of the .Royai Baking Pow der, such as ''self-raising' or stgriddle caken Hours, but analysis shows many of them to be made from unWholesome substi- tutes and strong acids, which have corrod- ing effect on the membranes of the stomach. It is much safer for all consumers to pur- chase flour themselves that they know to be good and reliable, and add baking powder at considerable saving, than to purchase any of the so-called tsself- raising" Hours, which are usually compounds of the YiIest nature, containing alum or phosphates. It is stated that three-f -fourths of the ssself-rais- ing buckwheaf' sold in the market is nothing more than tmiddlings, ' or the dark -colored Eiftings and impurities which form the refuse in the manufacture of the higher grades of four.
 The following is good recipe and most economical
 Chick Buekyvheat Cakes.-To one pint of buokwheat four, while dry, add two teaspoonfuls ROYAL BAKING POWDER, teaspoonful salt, one scant tablespoonful brown sngnr or New Orleans moIasses to make them brown, mix well together and when ready 10 bake add pint cold water or sahcient to form batter, stir but little, and bake Immediately on hot grlddle.
 The Baking Powder should never be put into the batter, but always mixed with four ip adry state.

A prominent social event occurred last
 evening, being the wedding of MT. Wooster P. Ensign, of the firm of Wooster A. En- sign & Son, and we'll known and popular young merchant, and Miss Carrie Durrell, daughter of Joseph H. Durrel, all of this
 city. The wedding took place at St. Paul's
 church at 7:30 o'clock, and though the rain kept many from being present there was 8
 large assembly, including many ladies and gentlemen prominent in social life, in attend ance, both galleries and the larger part of
 the room below being occupied About 800 invitations were issued. The interest and expectancy upon all faces pending the ap- pearance of the bridal party and during and after the ceremony may be imagined, it be- ing natural concomitant of an occasion of so much interest, particularly with the fair sex, which was numerously represented,
 though some of the pretty toilets were ob-
 scured by waterproofs. The predatory music upon the organ-Prof. Parsons in charge, entertained the assembly until the critical moment when the bridal party appeared.
 The ceremony was in the English style.
 The bride leaning upon the arm of her fath- or passed up the aisle, preceded by the four
 ushers, and was met at the altar by the groom, who, accompanied by the best man,
 Mir. Frank H. Dickerman, came from the vestry at the left of the chancel. The ush- CTS occupied places, two on either side of the happy pair, and the father and the best man
 fanked them a few paces back. Rev. E. s.
 Lines performed the ceremony. The bride
 looked charmingly and was elegantly attired
 in white satin, a. veil and profuaion of lovely flowers being also noticeable. Mir.
 and Mrs Ensign retired down the main aisle,
