The End of Slander

The following incident recently happened at
Newark Ohio
band of women. it seems. were going fro N
house to house in that city, in the employ of a
certain baking powder company. trying to dis
credit every brand of baking powder except their
own They performed certain SO called tests but
deceive unwary housekeepers,
They called at the residence of Mr.. Danner,
the well-known groceryman. where they were
most cleverly caught in their own trap.
It came about in this way: Mr.. Dauner (who
happened to be at home at the time they called,
being we'll posted in such tricks. knew that the
canVassers intended to say the worst things about
the most popular brand. He. therefore. without
their knowledge. took an empty Royal Baking
Powder can. and filled it with the very powder
these eanvassers were trying to boom it was
Cleveland's.
The so-called test was then applied to the pow
der in the proffered can and, of course, the re.
suit announced. with all the assurance of profes
sional charlatans. that the powder tested CON
tanned all manner of obnoxious ingredients.
| When, however, Mr.. Danner informed then
| that they had been really testing their own pow
der instead of the Royal it is unnecessary to sa!
| that the uneasiness and astonishment of tn
frauds " caused them to move on with unusua
| haste.
People are becoming weary of these pests O
the kitchen, and it is quite rare that they vii
give audience opportunity to such plausibl
tricksters; but it is quite evident that those VIII
do not close their doors to such attempts mus
expect to be humbugged.''
