Economical Baking Powder,

A curious housekeeper of experience re-
Gently made a careful practical test of the
comparative baking value of large number
of the baking powders in the market, clud-
ing those of low and high cost. She found
that twenty cents worth of Horsford's
Bread Preparation raised more Hour and
produced much better results than the same
moneys worth of the cheap aduiterated
powders. and also that it took fifty cents
worth of the ordinary high-cost baking pow
ders to raise the same quantity of flour. From
this he concluded that it was more economi-
cal to use the Horsfords than the low priced
adulterated powders, and the product was
much better. We recommend trial of this
experiment by our lady friends

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epo h in the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
tric Bitters. So many feel that they owe
their restoration to health, to the use OF the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver
or stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric Bit

CHICAGO. May 23.-The post mortem
examination on the body of DR.. Cronin
was held this morning. DR.. Todd, county
physician, and his assistant DR.. Egbert,
directed the examination which was care
fully made and occupied nearly three
hours. The skull was cut open and the
brain removed; after the scalp had been
taken off the physicians discovered the
bones composing the skull had scarcely
been marked by the blows of the sharp
instruments which 1t was thought caused
the doctors death.
There was no sign of congestion about
the brain, but the lungs and pulmonary
cavity were well filed with blood. Ply
slcians say this might nave resulted from
the fact that the body had been placed
head downwards in the catch basin. A
cut of half an inch was found upon the
neck, and several bruises upon the lower
limbs. The theory that he was choked to
death was easily exploded. The doctors
found no signs of suffocation and discov.
cred no bruises about the neck, such as
would occur from ~strangling a man with a
towel or rope.
Friends of DIR. Cronin met this even
ing and it was decided to hold funeral SER
vices Sunday and bury him IN Calvary
cemetery.
