We have already alluded to the inn
pr Itance of housekeepers paying more
attention to the kind of baking powder
used in leayenlng their bread. This is
a matter to which we cannot draw at
tention too often, because it is some
thing which involves the most serious
consequences to the general body Of
mankind. Temperance apostles tell us
and there is ample foundation for the
statement-that there is disease, both
moral and physical, in the intoxicating
cup; and in the same way there is dis
ease, Glow perhaps, but certain, in the
lime and alum leavening agents en-
ployed in many of the homes on this
continent.
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poison
Gus alum and lime baking powders
before the public with the assurance
that they are pure and wholesome art
icles. In the belief of the truth of such
statements such baking powders are
largely used in the preparation of food,
and in this way the poisonous ingredi-
ents are taken into the system without
suspicion of their presence. BY and
by come spells of headache, distress in
the stomach, loss of appetite, hutter-
ing of the heart; the child is seized with
an apparently causeless cough The
coating of the stom ach is destroyed,
perhaps; one of the vital organs is rem
dered almost useless; the kidneys are
attacked with Bright's disease. The
health of the childis irreparably broken
down; the adult becomes a chronic
invalid. These arc the doings of the
modern cheap baking powders that are
| composed of lime and alum, or That
contain sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts, surely all
housewives should exercise the care that
is, we know, now exercised by some in
the selection of a proper brand Of bak-
ing powder. She who does not do so,
whether the neglect is the result of
ignorance or recklessness, cannot free
herself from the responsibility for the
health. perhaps life, thereby endangered,
No housewife need be ignorant of the
| quality and composition Of the article
which she uses to leaven her bread,
biscuit and cake. The official reports
of the government chemists, who are
certainly unprejudiced, have been pud-
lished and show very clearly the quality
and strength of all the baking powders
in the market The Royal Baking
Powder, which is accessible at every
hand, is reported absolutely free from
ime, alum, phosphate acid, or any
Injurious ingredient. 1t is futher stated
by the most eminent authorities of food,
hygiene that food leavened with it is
more wholesome than when raised by
any other method. Its use is therefore
to be commended. 1t is to be regrtted
that no other baking powder, when
there are so many in the market, some
Of which will find their way into use
is free from all of these substances.
The official analysts assure us, however,
that all except the Royal contain either
lime or alum. The housekeeper who
regards the health of her loved ones
should not only order the Royal, but
make personal examination to be sure
that no other brand is sent her in its
place

EpOrgetOWn.

The citizens OF this beautiful village
were most terribly shocked on Saturday
morning last Qhe S6th inst.) to hear
that Mrs. Ben. Luce had committed
suicide. 1t happened in this wise:
She had been suffering more or less
for number of years with temporary
insanity, and for the last ten or twelve
days she had been complaining of not
feeling well and she kept her bed
and on Saturday morning last, Mr.
Luce ate his breakfast and took his
little son, an only child, with him to his
work, which was about enc mile away,
and few minutes after he had gone
she spoke to the girl that was living
with them and said she would like
good cool drink of water. The girl went
after the water which was about four
rods distance, and coming Immediately
back, was shocked to find Mrs Luce in
an unconcious condition and sweltering
in her own blood. During the absence
Of the girl she got up and went to
bureau drawer and found razor con-
cealed there and took it and went to
bed again and cut her throat, severing
the jugular vein which terminated her
existance upon earth in a very short
time. DR.. Terrill was Immediately
summoned. but it was Of no avail as
she had so Thoroughly done the work
that it was impossible for medical skill
to heal.
Mrs. Luce was the daughter of
Joseph and Hannah Brandon, and was
born in March, 1858. She was born
and reared in our midst. and was Of d
mild and cheerful disposition. Nine
years ago she became united in mar
riage to VIM. Benjamin Luce, and
their domestic relations have always
been pleasant, and to them was born
one child. little Lorain, who is thus
early cut off from the careful training
which fond and loving mother can
only give a child.
VIM. Luce and the parents Of the
deceased have the entire sympathy of
this whole community.
The funeral took place on Sunday,
the 9th inst, at two o'clock. The
services were short, but very solemn,
and impressive and was conducted by
the Rev Mr.. Mills Of the N. E. church.
VIM. Luce takes this method Of re-
turning thanks to all who 50 kindly as
sisted him in this great trial Of trouble
and affIiotion.

letter dated May 23rd, which bears
strong testimony that this wire is all
that it is claimed to be. The letter is
from T. Holbrook, breeder of Jersey
cattle and standard bred trotters, of
Glenwood Illinois. Mr. Holbrook
says:
have put up the wire that bought OF you
and it suits nae. Two colts broke out OF the
pasture and was trying to catch them and one
Of them ran against the spur wire hard enough,

This is but single illustration of the
favor which the SPUR WIRE meets
everywhere. If any readers of the
HERALD have stock for which they have
any regard and wish to put up a cheap,
effective and harmless fence, they
should by all meanes examine the
Harmless Spur Wire, samples of which
are to be seen at this office.
