This gentleman was last week elect

Laborers' Uuion of Missouri, at the
annual meeting at Pertle Springs, and
as many Of our readers do not
know him personally Or his antece.l-
ents. as does the writer therefore,, we
propose to attempt u pen picture of
him. He was born on a farm in
Cooper county, Missouri, in 1887, and
spent his early years in earnest work
there. His father gave him the hest
education to be had in the State, and
when old enough sent him to Harvard
to finish the work SAD to study law.
He finished and took his diploma,
but on returning to Missouri never
attempted to practice his profession,
but like all his brothers went to farm
ing. HIS brothers, like himself, ale
modest and retiring men, all farmers,
all readers, thinkers and workers, and
all having large interests at stake

county is one of the eldest and most
successful breeders Of Shorthorn

Abel and Williman are near neighlUrs

they each own large farms and com
bined WELD vast i.Auence.
They are of sturdy stock, every
man of them Injured TO hard work,
and that of both kanl and heart
Leverett Leonard, the new president,
tops them all in height, size and
weight and as we'll in strength Of
character, in depth and bredth Of
vision, and in capacity to grasp great
questions and analyze them. He is
transformations, unpretcntious and un-
demonstrations, unless when the
occasion calls for effort, but upon
such al occasion he is able to call
them as only man of trained culture
can. He is known wherever he is
known as an upright and down
straight honest man; having work to
do knows how to do it, and does it,
He is withal level headetl, cool, col
lected and seldom heard Of or from
unless when the occasion calls for
words or work.
He enters upon his duties AS presi-
dent after a stormy session, will make
little noise during his term of office,
but do his level hest to build upon
the best foundation he can find and

IS ALUM POISONOUS?
tHaHs JOurnal of Aealth.l

S'This question has CEASED a good
deal of discussion. Alum is used by
many bakers to Written their bread,
enabling them to use an inferior -four.
1t is most extensively employed as q
cheap substitute for cream OF tarter
in the manufacture of b"king powders.
1t has not been considered immediate
ly dangerous; although if continued it
induces dyspepsia and obstinate con-
stipation. But the fact that many
cases Of poisoning have occurred from
the use Of alum, puts the question in
a more serious aspect, and prudent
people will exercise caution in the
selection of baking powders"
sUnder what conditions then, does
this substance-formerly used only
for mechanical or medicinal purposes
became poisonous? They arr certain
~ obscure, and at present We can only
surnise what thsy may be. We
suspect that the cause exists IN the
Individual poisoned; some peculiarly
Of the consultation producing Il morbid
change in the secretious of the
stomach, with which the alum CON-
bines and forms an active poison; or
the secretions may be healthy but in
unusual proportions, and that this less
or greater proportions, in combination
with the alum constitute poison"
For example, two parts of mercury
III
.omel, which is not poisonous, but
change the proportions to one part
mercury and two parts OF chlorine,
and We get corrosive subilmate, which
IS a deadly poison.
'Then again We know aaothing of
the constitutional peculiarities. Why
is it that one person can cat all kinds
of green fruits and vegetables with
immunity, while the same course

life? One person can handle poison
ivy and sumas without being in the
least affected; another is poisoned if
he approaches to within ten feet of
them. Out of family residing in :.

will suffer half the year with fever and
ague, while the others will enjoy
excellent health during the entire
year. Foods that are holesome to
some persons are actually poisonous

sone kinds Of Ash. There is no
safety in taking alum into the
stomach, rs it is shown to be always
injurious, and often dangerous
