BAKING POWDER TRAMPS.

The danger to the public health from
the lndiscriminate use Of the many lime
and alum baking powders of commerce
has been so fully exposed that every
body desires to avoid them. AS fore
warned is forearmed," the housekeepers
will thank us for apprising them of the
special efforts at present being made to
dispose of such powders in this vicinity
The proprietors of some of the worst
of these powders are now going from
house to house, trying by means of
trick, or so called test, with heat and
water, to show that their article is as
good as the Royal Baking Powder, MAX
ing the comparison with: this brand be-
cause everybody recognizes it to be alb
selutely pure and wholesome, the object,
of course, being to supply their own
goods in place of the Royal, which house
keepers have for so many years relied
upon to puff up the m orning biscuit,
and to make the light, palatable, and
wholesome roll, cake, and pastry for
which it is famous.
The housekeeper will do we'll to be on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps. Every intelligent person knows
that any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner, or that are gwen
away in samples, or sought to be pure
and reliable, have no merits of their own,
and have failed to find purchasers
through legitimate means.
We are informed, as q matter of fact,
that one of these tramps are trying to
introduce a powder that has been found
by the Government chemist to be 11.85
per cent lime, while the other peddles a
powder that is 20 per cent alum-one
powerful caustic, the other corrosive
poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt
to deceive any intelligent person. The
housekeeper who has used her Royal
Baking Powder ever since she discarded
cream of tartar or SODA, knows more
about its qualities than all the tramps in
the country can teach her. The crucial
test to which she has put the Royal Bak-
ing Powder-the test of actual and sue
cessful work in the preparation of pure
and wholesome food, under which it has
never failed-is entirely satisfactory to
her. She has always had "good luck"
with it in making light, sweet, and de-
licious bread, biscuit and cake, and has
placed it, to stay, at the head of her
housekeeping favorites. She knows thai
it has been officially approved by the
Government chemists as the best, and
we imagine that the baking powder
tramp who attempts to supplant its place
In her confidence will find this bad
year for his business.

Were it not for Mr.. c. s. Harris, the
prospect is that Kenosha would be a very
dull place on the 4th of July, as We do
not hear of anything being done to cele-
brate the day by our citizens. However,
Mr.. Harris will provide amusement for
the lovers of fast horses on the fair
grounds on the 4th, and is making every
effort to make the races this year more
attractive than ever He has secured
the promise of the owners OF nearly all
the fast horses in this county and adjoin-
ing counties to take part in the races
besides there will be an exhibition of the
best carriage horses and stations in the
county on the track. We hope Mr.
Harris will meet with the encourage
ment he deserves. For particulars see
in another column.

DON'T SPILL THE MILK.

"There is no use crying over spilled
milk" says the old saw. If you are not
only bald, but have no life in the roots
of your hair, there is no use crying over
that, either. Take both time and your
self by the forelock while there is fore
lock left. Apply Parker's Hair Balsam
to your hair before matters get worse.
1t will arrest the falling off of your hair
and restore its original color, gloss and
softness. It is a perfect dressing withal,
clean, richly perfumed, cools and heals
the scalp.
