We often hear il stated that a man
is not responsible for what he does
not know. The law presupposcs
knowledge and therefore convicts the
man who excuses crime by ignorance
'If / had only known" has often
for some evil unknowingly wrought,
but in matter of general interest
as for instance that laudanum is a
poison, that naptha is deadly explo-
sive, that blood heavily charged with
a winters accumulations of the waste
of the sysiem,-it is ones duty to
know the facts and the consequences
thereof. Our good old grandmothers
knew for instance, that the opening
of spring was the most perilous per-
iod of the year.
Why?
Because then the stream is sluggish
and chilled by the cold weather, and
ifnot thinned a good deal aud made
to flow quickly and BEAUTIFULLY
through the arteries and veins, it is
impossible TO have good vigor the
rest of the year. Hence, without ex-
ccption, what is now known as War
ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, was
plentifully made and religiously Civ
en- to every member of the family
regularly through March, April May
and June. 1t is a matter of record
that this prudential, preventive and
restorative custom saved many a fit
of sickness, prolonged life aud happi-
ness to vigorous old age, and did
away with heavy medical expendi-
lures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington
KY, used Warmers Log Cabin Sar-
saparilla "for nervous sick headache
of which | had been sufferer for
years. 1t has been great benefit to
me" Capt. Hugh Harkins, HAS. 18th

There is time, she said, shortly af-

Impure Food.

Exceeding caution should be exer-
cised in the purchase of new arti-
Gle of food. Many recent cases of
serious illness have been reported
from the use of the new patent foods
for infants, from untested baking
powders, and cheap flavoring eX-
tracts. The desire for rapid wealth
induces INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
to place anything before the public
that will sell at a large profit, with
out regard to its usefulness or health
fulness. At present there is great
raid upon the baking powder market,
and so many impure and adulterated
articles of this kind have been found
| peddled about the country that the
authorities in several of the States
have taken the necessary action to
expose them. The report of the Ohio
State Food Commission has shown
that large number of the brands
sold here are made from alum, phos.
pilates, or cheap and adulterated
cream of tartar. The danger to the
public is made still greater by the
unblushing elIrontery with which
the proprietors of these impure pow.
ders advertise them as perfect, claim
ing for them all kinds of false and
impossible endorsements.
The official report of the Ohio
State Food Commission gives the
names of number of these impure
Iowders, aud the amount of impurity
and inert matter in each as follows

The Way to Fall Down.

"The special providence that seems

said well known aud eminent med
ical man TO reporter, sin the fact OF
the man cause of the breakage OF
bones from falls being from a resist
ance of the tendons more often than
from the violence of the shock incl
dent TO the actual fall. A child or an
intoxicated person will rarely en-
deavor with any great effort to recov-
err their balance when they slip or
topple over. Hence no special resist
ing force is exercised, and they sink
into collapsed heap without serious
injury. When an adult in possession
of his sound senses undertakes, with
endless contortions and gyrations, to
save himself from going down, he
draws every muscle and sinew taut,
and If the wrench Is too severe the
bones breaks. There is no way of
definitely proving it, but il is asserted,
aud | believe with some show of
truth, that some, at least, of the frac-
'ures resulting from falls, especially
from height, happen before the DC.

PUBLIC TLPROKKNENTS.

In discussing public Improvements let
our City Council RENE mber that the money
necessary to make streets would come
from the taxpayers. Il would come
from the taxpayers, and IL would most
of 1t go back to the taxpayers. Like the
water passing through the wheel aud run
ming the factory, it would find its way
back to the main channel again after hsv-
ing done its duty. Money paid to city
laoorers goes back TO our retail mer-
chants, to our landlords, into our churches
ana places Of smusements. 1t is not
like money paid to outsiders, which leaves
the city never 10 return; it is largely re-
turned from whence 1t came. This is a
matter that should DE taken into consid-
era:ion in making local improvements. II
is very easy to turn the virtue Of frugelity
into the vice OF parsimoDy. Several years
ago the name OF "Boss" Shepard rang
with q dissgreeable sound all over the
country, but to-day the people OF Wash
lDSlOh LaIh Vi C1SStlnS nun =
me t to his wisdom and local pub
lie service. He concerted the streets
of Washington, making them the
finest in the country, while the interest
OF ten times the sum 1t would cost would
not keep them in repair in their old state.
II the money was spent without waste
and extravaganza it was applied to the
best advantage and WAS q measure Of
economy andn not one OF extravaganza. The
people Ct Fort Worth expect much of the
present city government, and amorg their
expectations is this: the greatest possible
extent Of public Improvement compatible
with city warrants at par. Fort Worth
would ne benefited by fifty miles Of gray
eled streets instead Of twenty five, by
good street lights ard by sewerage wher-
ever it can be provided. Economy and
an eye to "jobs" are demanded by the
people, but city government that is
frugal to exce.s will spoil city as
quickly as q thieving one.
