Another Fire.

Between II and u o'clock p. m. on
Tuesday night last the large twO-story
steam saw and planning mill of Hearn,
Atkins & Powell. at the depot, was de-
stroyed by fire. How 1t originated is
unknown and deplorable; but that the
condition of the weather was particu-
larly favorable to the safety of the
town, was fortunate. When discOv-
cred, the fire was rapidly spreading IN
the vicinity Of the boiler, and strong
west wind blew it through the balance
of the building, which was full of floor
ing that had lust been worked out
When this had become thoroughly ig-
nited, the wind carried the flames in u
sUutherly direction in two large piles
Of lumber. which seriously threatened
the dwellings opposite; but which
were saved by hard work. The wind
again changed. and then blew from
the west, which caused the flames to
blow down Causey Avenue, from which
direction it continued until the ruins
had burned to bed OF GOALS; VIXEN it
changed and blew from the east. Had
the wind been from this quarter at
first, the long storage sheds, twO-stOry
Office and lumber piles could not have
escaped; neither would Minors lum-
Der yard, or the large ship-timber saw
mill of Hiram Barber. To add more
favorable conditions for keeping the
fire from spreading, a shower of rain
fell just before the alarm was sounded.
The mill was almost new one
indeed, additions had just been made
to it that doubled its size, and which
were of the most substantial charac-
ter. The firm were just getting iutO
shape to do a large business. Several
carloads Of lumber, doors, sash, blinds
and mOuldings had been received
within few days, and their custem
saving taxed the mills capacity.
The loss is placed bY Mr.. Powell at
$4,000 (enOugh TO have paid for steam
fire engine, hose. house TO keep it in,
etc; or would have paid One-third the
cost of self-supporting system of
water-works), and the insuranceis only
$1,000. Only one day before the fire
the firm WIS considering the p9oprieiy
Of placing more insurance, hut it was
unfortunately postponed.
10 Milford the loss is particularly
bad, rs it cuts of u payroll Of about
ten men per week, and stops the put
ting into operation II large box factory,
for which the machinery was on the
way TO them at the time of the fire
which would have cau.ed the disburs-
ing of probably $l0O per week more in
wages.

the runner was on 3rd. Three more

Decoration Day.

Although ushered in with clouds
and shower, this National holiday.
devoted to paying tribute to the SOL
dier dead, will long live in Milford
memory as the one celebration that
combined solemmity, lageaGtry aud

and its commander all credit is due for
the observance.
The early part of the day was devo-
ted to decorating isolated graves and
receiving guests, aud at one o'clock
the parade formed under the com
mand Of Grand Marshall b. 4. Collins
in the following order, viz: Marshall
and aids; State Capital Band; 1t Col.

WEDNESDAYS GAME.

The most interesting game Of base
ball played in this town since the old
APPEL nine disbanded four years ago,

close stood to in favor Of the Clerks
and Printers The Picked Nine made
three runs in the first inning. owing
to a half dozen bunched errors made
through the absence of John Lank,
their first baseman. In Lank's al,-
sence the players were changed to
make up the loss as best they could,

Impurities Not Food.
DEFECTS OF THE PHOSPHATE BAKING POW
DERs-THEIR LARGE AND UNwHoLE-
SOME REsIDUUM.


We have already commented upon the
dangerous proposition advanced by the phos-
phatic yeast or baking powder makers to
daily dose the entire community, irrespec-
tive of its physical needs or ailments, with
lime sulphates and phosphates, impurities
that are found in their powders. It seems
almost incredible that any sane person
should put forward as an argument in behalf
Of an article Of food intended for daily use,
that it contains amongst its impurities a
drug which under certain conditions if prop
eriy prescribed by physician might be use
ful as a medicine. Physicians will at once
see that to endorse any such theory as this
is even more dangerous than to recommend
to their patients the indiseriminate use of
the various patent medicines advertised OIL
every hand as specifics for all the diseases
which flesh is heir to-
In the recent examination of baking pow
ders made by the Ohio State Food Commits
sion the phosphate baking or yeast powders
were found TO contain large quantities OF
lime phosphates, lime sulphates, ETC., which
appeared as impurities Their manufactur-
ers have so far found it impossible to get rid
of these impurities. and this probably ac-
counts for their remarkable claim that such
impurities are good for us to eat.
The preposterous character of this claim is
evident from the fact we'll known to all ply
sicians that the body gets with its ordinary
food more lime phosphates than it can assim-
ilate. The vital organs are taxed, even in
health to throw this excess of.
Pure and wholesome baking powders as
is well-known, are made from highly refined
cream of tartar. In phosphate baking Cr
yeast powders phosphate acid is used as a
substitute for cream of tartar on account of
its eheapness. The ingredients and process
used by well-known manufacturer in the
preparation of phosphate baking powders
are found in the records of the patent Office
at Washington. This is the formula
500 pounds burned and ground bones aie
placed in
400 pounds of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol)
freshly diluted with
1000 pounds water, aud stirred from time
to time for three days. The paste is mixed
with farinaceous material, or with freshly
burned gypsum, or with stearine, and dried
aud pulverized This pulverized
acid is to be used with bi.carbonate OF soda
in baking powders.
Bones Of defunct animals are gathered
froni,i and about the great cities, OH battle
fields, and wherever else they may be found
in quantities. These bones are reduced to a
powder with sulphuric acid, and this powder
is the substitute used i'll the cheap phos-
phatic baking and yeast powders in lieu of
the wholesome and more expensive cream
of tartar.
The sulphuric acid, with the lime and
phosphorus Of the bones, produce the sui
phate and phosphate of lime found in the
impurities of the phosphate baking or yeast
powders.

In Memoriam.

In the death of Miss Regina Shock
ley. Milford lost one of the most ac-
complished and talented ladies in the
town. She was not only beloved for
her modest, pure life. for all the virtue
that adOlnsa woman, but to those who
knew her best her talents were admit
ted. 1t would convince amy one that
she was natural born painter and
sketcher, to visit her late home
and see the works of her brush; some
would do credit to the walls Ofan art
gallery, this she seemed unconscious of,
and painted those beautiful landscapes
and faces for mere pastime. Now that
she has passed away to a more beau
tiful life, we can better appreciate that
she, and her pencil creations are
things Of beauty and a joy forever. "
