HoUsEKEEPERs ARE WARNED againss
the mpositions of company of females who,
under the lead of a male agent, now infesting
the kitchens of this city, performing trick which
they pretend is test of baking powders.
Ii having been intirnated that these persons
are the paid agents Of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, this is to advise all concerned that this
Company has relation whatever to them, that
their so-called test is sham and that the females
are instructed and employed to perform these
tricks and make false statements in all kitchens
to which they can gain access by concerns who
are trying to palm off upon housekeepers an
inferior brand Of baking powder through the
operation of fallacious and deceptive methods.
The Royal Baking Powder Company in no
case employs such agents, and whenever the
name Of this Company is used to gain@entrance
to houses, the applicant, matter how respec-
table in appearance, should be regarded and

AMMONIA AND SUICIDES
One of the Most Certain Agents for
Causing Death by Slow Poisoning.

New York SUM-
OF the number of those seeking suicide
by swallowing some form of poison,
probably there are few who have sought
to Kill themselves by means of ammonia.
Nevertheless ammonia, although it is the
active agent in most of the salts sold to
women for their gilt decorated and per-
fumed scent bottles, is poisonous when
taken internally in concentrated form.
To attest this there have been recently in
New York several cases, the most recent
being that of Herman HarowitZ, of which
Deputy Coroner Jenkins said that death
took place in comparatively short time
after the ammonia was taken. In an
other case, that of child, DR.. Jenkins
SAID death resulted in five minutes after
swallowing the ammonia solution.
There are on record also cases of slow
poisoning from ammonia administered
with intent to commit murder. Further
more, the appearance of workmen in
guano factories, where ammonia is set
/ free by grinding guano, has been noted
and in every case there is an unmistak-
able system of poisoning. This is dis
coloration of the skin of the face, which
assumes a blotched, dirty appearance.
First to take on this appearance is the
skin of the nose and forehead. AutopsieS
of those who die from ammonia poison
ing reveal dark hue on the mucous
membrane lining the stomach and in
teStineS.
AS an agent for causing death by slow
| poisoning. ammonia is one of the most
certain and most difficult of detection.
| owing to its volatile nature This quality
has led physicians to believe that some of
the mysterious deaths that have taken
place III the history of modern and
| medieval crime are due to ammonia. 1t
is known now that months have elapsed
between the first symptoms of sickness
and the death of person from ammonia
poisoning. On the other hand, death has
resulted in four minutes from the time a
large draught of ammonia has been
swallowed. 1t has been found in cases OF
gradual absorption of ammonia in the
human system that there is a general
elimination of healthy oxidation of the
blood and consequent lowering of the
bodily strength. In the cases of iInmedi-
ate poisoning, death comes with frighttul
! agony, as in the case of Harowitz Blood
! gushed from his nose and mouth.
Statistics in England put ammonia thir-
J teenth in frequency in the list of poisons.

Even garden fruit he ate only when If

The Milk Maids Convention En-
tertainment, given by the Invincible
Society of the NJ E. church, at the
Court House this Thursday evening,
was one of the best entertainments
we haYe had in Phillipsburg for some
time. The house was well filed and
from the continuous applause we
judge that all present were heartily
pleased and enjoyed the entertain
ment. The proceeds amounted to
about $50. We have not the space TO
make special mentlon of all those
that took part, but suffice to say that
they all did well. The convention
was composed of a ladies, dressed in
milk maid costumes. and each carry
ing stool and milk pail. The milk
maid drill, conducted by Captain
Tucker, was exceedingly fine and we'll
executed. The program was on the
burlesque order throughout, but re-
minded us very much of some of the
