GIFTS OF POISON.

1t is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the sup
preston of all gift, prize and lottery
schemes in connection with the sale of
articles ofmerchandise. Theseschemes
are not only demoralizing to legiti-
mate business and to the morals ofthe
community, but in the extent in
which they are being carried in the
sale OF articles of food have become a
source of great danger to the public
health. They are, no matter in what
form they appear, nothing more or
less than devices to swindle honest
and unsuspecting people.
tits gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the law have
taken hold of the matter. In New
York, and also in Chicago, parties
who in this way offered gifts to pur-
chasers of their package have recent
~ been arrested upon indictments for
lottery swindling. The latest candi-
dates, both for public execration and
criminal prosecution, are the manufac-
tturers of the alum baking powders,
who are both, by means of gifts and
lottery tickets, disposing of large
quantities of their corrosively poison
GUS compounds, which are so well
known to be detrimental to health
that no housekeeper will admit them
to her kitchen knowingly. This form
of swindle is not only being peddled
house to house, but under the promise
of large profits to be realized, the
manufacturers are entrenching them
selves behind the counters of many
grocers by getting them to offer the
alum goods with the gifts or lottery
tickets attached, thereby shifting the
liability to prosecution, in part, upon
other, and perhaps innocent parties.
Every grocer or dealer, for instance,
who sells or offers for sale any of the
prize or lottery baking powders is a
criminal in the eye of the law, and
liable, upon conviction, to fine and
imprisonment, while those who sell
the gift goods are, morally, as respon-
sible, for they are offering an induce
ment, or prize, to housekeepers tosuse
a food that contains a corrosive pois-
on. This is predicament in which
it is not possible our grocers will care
to place themselves when they come
to think seriously of the matter.
1t must be borne in mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking pow
ders are alum baking powders. These
powders cost less than four cents a
pound to produce; the gift or prize
costs but few cents more. They are
sold at the price ola first-class baking
powder, SO that the swindle, in com.
mercial sense, is enormous. But the
chief iniquity of the business consists
in selling, as presumably wholesome,
an article Of positively injurious
character, and by means of gifts or
brides or inducing servants or unsus-
pecting housekeepers to purchase and
use it in cur daily food.
There should be some prompt meth
cd of reaching these dangerous prac-
tees and furnishing the parties en-
gagged in their promotion. If the
present laws are not ample, we COM
mend the matter to the consideration
of our State Board of Health for rec
ommendation ofsuch additional legis-
latlon as shall be effective for the pro-
lection of the public.

The Wheeling Register says that the
farmers of that section report that the
wheat crop there will be almost total
failure, owing to the severity of the
winter, the plants having been frozen
out the ground. This is especially
the case along Short Creek ridge,
where the farmers say they will not
harvest enough for seed and to bread
for their families; some have plowed
their fields under and put them in oats
and corn. In the most favored locali-
ties the wheat is too far gone to yield
over half a crop.

Is rather an uncertain thing to depend
upon as a basis for obtaining the neces-
saries of life. With the frequent chang

so that on the whole any man OF brains

take up some such business as an agency

which is sure to be good paying bust
ness as long as he viii devote himself TO
