past. So it is with nervous diseases, as

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
DECLARED ADULTERATED FOOD AND
THEIR SALE ILLEGAL.

The result of trial Just concluded
at Canton, N. Y, before Judge KEEL
logg, will have a salutary effect in
checking the sale of one class of adul-
terated food. Two men, named Moon
and Akerill, were arrested for selling
adulterated baking powder in viola
ton of the State food adulteration act.
The Indictment was for both selling
baking powders that were inferior,
adulterated and injurious TO health by
reason of being made from alum, and
for selling them under pretense that
they were wholesome, cream of tar
tar baking powder. A stubborn de-
fence was made, the claim being set
up that baking powders were not arti-
cles of food and that the powder the
defendants were selling, which was
known as Gillett's, was a standard ar
ticle of trade, and that alum baking
powders inferior to it, like Davis and
Others, were being sold by other deal
ers in the same town without COM
plant. The Court held that baking
powders were articles of food within
the meaning of the law, and the jury
found the defendants guilty upon all
the charges. The case has attracted
much attention from being the first
brought under the State Food Adult
teration Act against dealers in alum
baking powders. The result of the trial
is to class such baking powders as
adulterated articles of food and to sale
illegal. There are many alum make
baking powders put up in cans, under
some name or brand, In addition to
those sold in bulk, the sale ofall which
cautious dealers will probably be un.
willing to continue.

Near Gerardstown, April Is, Mrs.
Charles Orr.
Geo. n. Grim was at work near the
road, about two miles north of this
place last week, and out of curiosity
he counted the teams that he happen
ed to see pass. He counted over tWen-
ty loads of bark, a dozen loads of lun-
Der. ninety ties, besides loads of farm
produce, charcoal, &c. These all came
by the road that crosses the mountain
at Mill's Gap, near this place, and
were drawn from IA small section of
country near that point. The above
record, especially at this time of year,
when the farmers are busy at home
and cross-tieS, &c, are out of season,
only shows what vast amount of
hauling will be drawn to Gerardstown
and other near points on the G. V. r.
r. if the road is built by this route.
The people are tired of hauling their
products such long distances aud
heartily join us IN saying with regard
to the road by this route. Let her
come.-GerdrdstoaCa Times.
