WORSE THAN SNEAK THIEVES

A band of confidence operators has
been let loose in this vicinity to prey
upon and annoy our housekeapers. The
band is composed of women, although
employed and directed by an agent of
the other sex, and their method of pro-
cedure, as explained by several ladies
who have been victimized, is as follows:
Obtaining access to the kitchen, they in
troduce the subject of baking powders,
inquiring the kind used i'm the family.
Being shown the can, perhaps fresh,
full one, they volunteer to "test" il To
ascertain its qualities. Their "test" con-
ssts in placing n can on II hot stove or
over Il lamp or gas jet, or in mixing the
baking powder with water both hot and
cold. If the baking powder is good for
anything the heat will, of course, expel
the gas, which, being ammOniacal or
carbOnic, is apparent Ia the sense of
smell. The claim is then made that this
odor is detrimental, although, as mat
give off no gas when subjected to heat
would be without leavening power and
valueless. They will also mix the bak-
ing powder given them with water. II
pure il cilervesces quickly. The baking
powder they pcddle being similarly mix
ed foams up slowly. This they claim as
evidence of superiority, whereas IL is
the exhibition of a trick only, IN this eff
feet is caused by the presence of flour
i'm the baking powder they are peddling.
OF course the object of these fraudulent
tricks is To destroy confidence i'm all 9TH
er kinds of baking powder, and TO sell
the particular brand for which the wOm-
en- are travelling.
Were this the whole of the operation
housekcepers would not often he
deceived. Every intelligent person
knows that baking powder is not made
10 be used i'm this way, but in cooking
where the action is entirely different
from that produced by dry heat or by
mixture with water alone. The chief
object of this jugglery is to destroy the
baking powder given for testing; or by
heating 1t to drive off its leavening gases.
and 80 weaken it that when used it will
fail 10 work. At the next baking there
is heavy food of course, and the tramp"
probably gets the credit of having told
the housekeeper II valuable fact, instead
of having spoiled her baking powder, as
was actually the case. The average
tramp" will, in this way, destroy from
fifty to seventy-tive pounds of baking
powder day.
A second method of spelling for use
the baking powder i'm kitchen where
they are not permitted to experiment
with IT, is by dexterously throwing in
the can small quantity of salt, soda or
powdered lime. Again, should there
chance to be no baking powder in the
house, the operators will produce, of the
kind used by the family, sample that
has been purposely adulterated or "doc.
tored" Ia make such an exhibit as they
desire under the so-called test.
The only way to protect our food from
being contaminated by tramps of this
kind is 10 turn all persons who wish or
attempt to tamper with il unceremon-
iously from the door, and to Use those
articles, only, which experience has
proved satisfactory, or the official tests
have established as pure and wholesome.

road sought an entrance into Baltimore,
at least when such question was being dis.
cused, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
took the ground that if there was any dit
6culty on this source, it would afford the
Southern Pennsylvania Railroad the full
privileges of its own tracks and Its own
terminals. And not only this, but that the
question of compensation should be lett to
the arbitration. Our policy was to get q
new road into the city of Baltimore, and to
do this we intended to place no OBSTACLE
whatever in its way, but instead, took the
broad view that the railroad coming In
would benefit the city, and that which ben
Gifted the city could not in time but help

The day has gone by when any commu-
uity or any State can have built about 1t q

alton.
The frsest ingrsss and egress Is accord
ed by the most advanced and progressive
communities, and when our system OF lines
is arriving to reach cheap terminals In
New York, and thereby serve great inter
ests of the country at large-those OF the
Southwest, the direct West and the North
west-I respectfully insist thst the period
has come when any private and selfish IN
terest must and will fail in an effort to
thEart such q contamination. relterAte,
gentlemen, that the Baltimore and Ohio
terminal facilities in New York will be the
cheapest of any here; and as the Staten
Island route has been revelation, so will

terminal arrangements.
When the corporations Of our country,
on principles ike those professed above
come toregard the peoples prosperity and
contentment as closely connected with their
own, the difficulties between labor and
capital will be more easily adjusted. The
people Of West Virginia cannot fail to
recognize the great benefit Suoh COM

On Wednesday, shows 6 very liberal and
