Adulteratfon ofFood.

This is an age of adulterations and nearly every article of food we use has to some ex- tent been cheapened and the value lessened by the introduction of foreign substances. Even salt has suffered at the hands of the unprincipled money makers, and the salt used upon your table contains chloride of magnesium, clay and other insoluble matter which is entirely injurious to the health. Saltine is pure salt, absolutely free from adulterationa, and is put up by the Saltine sale at all grocers'; price five cents package. Take no other.

 WINTER AMONG THE cowBoYs-aENERAL
 NEWS.
 NORTH HAVEN, Dec. GA winter among the cowboys, or life on 8 Texas ranch :" is the subject of lecture to be given by Rev. E. B. Hillard, of Plymouth, in Memorial hall on Thursday evening, December g. MT. Hillard spent last winter on one of the great cattle ranches of southwestern Texas and in his address will describe the mode of life on the ranch, the method of handling the cattle, the cowboys, with his experience of life in their camp, etc. MT. Hillard will be remembered by our townspeople as very earnest, enter taining speaker on the subject of temperance and will doubtless be as much interested in this recital of his experience among the cow boys. The entertainment is given by the members of the Bradley Library association and the proceeds will be used for the benefit of that institution.
 The attendance was very small at all of the churches yesterday on account of the snow.
 On the last Sunday in November there were S15 present at the Congregational Sun day school and the amount of the weekly contribution was $12 60.
 A number of the friends of Fl. O. Devine met at his house for 8 social time last We'd nesdsy evening. They were accompanied by Nate Marks with his violin, which made the hours as well as feet seem to fly.
 MT. J. B. Barnes of the East Berlin Iron Bridge company spent Sunday in town with friends, but could not be very favorably inn pressed with the place, seeing it for the first time under such snowy circumstances, al- though enjoying very social and pleasant visit.

The American people, with patriotic and faithful regard for our ex-soldiers-too broad and too sacred to be monopolized by any special advocates-are not only willing but
 anxious that equal and exact justice should
 be done to all honest claimants for pensions. In their sight the friendless and destitute soldier, dependent on public charity, if oth- erwise entitled, has precisely the same right to share in the provision made for those who fought their cou-Itry's battles as those better able, through friends and influence, to push their claims. Every pension that is granted under our present plan upon any other grounds than actual service and injury or disease incurred in that service, and every instance CT the many in which pensions are on other grounds than the merits

Cautious In Their Purchases.
INDIANAPOLIS. April 2.
April opens with trade fairly active; that is,
orders are numerous, yet small in amount, show
ing that country merchants are moving eau
tiously until the future of business can be more
plainly discerned; or, in other words, the hand
to-mouth policy of purchasing goods, which in
months past was confined to groceries, has
reached other departments, even the dry goods
and fancy notion dealers and boot and shoe men
being more or less affected, which it
is believed would not have been the
case but for the labor troubles. So far as prices
are concerned steadiness is the prevailing char
