SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD
Which Housekeepers Should Earnest
ly Consider

ly Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health OF
the people of this country IN the numerous
alum baking powders that are now being
urged upon the public.
There Is no question as to the detrimental
effects of these powders upon the system.
Every board of health, every physician. will
tell you of the unwhOlesone qualities they
they add to the food. Some countries have
absolutely prohibited the sale of bread con-
tanning alum.
rem, have produced fatal results. while cases
OF heartburn, indigestion, gripping constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, and various kindred gastric
troubles from irritation of the mucous MEN,
brane. caused by the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum phosphate
powders. are familiar IN the practice of ev-
cry physician.
1t Is not possible that any prudent house
wife, any loving mother will knowingly use
any article of food that will .njure the health
OF her household, or perhaps cause the death
of her children.
How shall the dangerous alum powders be
distinguished: And how shall the danger to
health from their use be avoided:
Generally alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are sold. or
from the fact that they are accompanied By
gift. or are disposed of under some scheme.
lie ALUM powder COSTS Dtt Few cents q
pound TO make, and Is often sold at 20 or 25
cents pound. If some present Is given with
II. the price may be 30, 10 or 80 cents
pound.
II Is impossible to name all the alum DOW
ders IN the market, but any baking powder
sold at a low price, or advertised as costing
only half as much as cream of tartar DOW
oers, or accompanied by present, or dis
posed OF under any scheme, is of this class,
detrimental to health, and 10 be avoided.
But the easy. safe and certain protection
OF our bread, biscuit and cake from all dam
ger Of unwholesomeness is ID the use of the
Royal Baking Powder only. This powder is
mentioned because of the innumerable re-
ports In its favor by high medical au,hori-
ties. by the [. s Government and by the
official chemists and Boards Of Health, which
leave no doubt as to its entire freedom from
alum, lime and ammonia. its absolute puri-
" and whoiesoneness. While its use is thus
safeguard against the poisonous alum pow
derS, II Is satisfactory at the same time to
know that it makes the whitest. lightest,
sweetest and most delicious food. which will
keep moist and fresh longer. and that can
be eaten with immunity hot or cold. stale or
fresh. and also that owing 70 its greater
strength l. Is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
10 turn deaf ear TO all opportunities to buy |
the inferior powders. If grocer urges the |
sale OF the cheap, impure alum brands, IT |
should be borne ID mind that IL Is because |
he can make more profit on them. The wise |
housekeeper will decline II all cases to take |
them.
Take no chances through using a doubtful |
article rhere so important a matter as the
health or life Of dear ones is at stake.

THE WINDFALL.

There are no acknowledgements in the
Halbcrg matter. The last the family
heard from Anton was while he was in
st. Louis. He wrote from there stating
that he intended to go to New Orleans.
Though while IN Milwaukee and st.
Louis he wrote regularly to his friends,
he ceased at once after announcing his
purpose of going to New Orleans.
The amount of money sent was S12,-
700, but the division stipulated in the
letter would require larger sum. The
money has been invested in Two Rivers
city bonds. The money was left 10 a
Chicago bank by man who represented
himself as having come from California
to visit the Worlds Fair, but the parties
frop this county were unable to secure
an interview with him. The Pilot was
IN error last week in stating that the let
ter accompanying the remittance said
that the writer could not use the Eng
lish or the German language. It did say
that he could not use either easily. The
letter was long one-covering seven
pages, and purported to have been sent
with the money by the California gentle
man.

AMONG FARMERS.

| Quite large acreage of fall grain has
been sown in this county this year.
Fall grain looks unusually good
throughout this county this fall.
Wisconsin has won the chief prizes on
sheep in the Worlds Fair. Wisconsin is
steadily advancing in agricultural lines.
VIM. Morgan of Cato lately bought the
Kendall property consisting OF 60 acres.
Eli Attridge purchased Frank Boettcher's
farm which includes 100 acres.
The price of pease and the yield this
| year will induce farmers in this county
| to overdo the matter next year judging
| from the disposition manifested at pres
ent.
The woods throughout this county has
an unusually heavy growth of grass this
fall. Pastures were so good that the
stock were under no necessity of taking
to the woods"
Mrs. Schiller of School Hill is on trial
this week before Justice Wieboldt charg-
ed with watering and skimming the milk
which she furnished cheese factory.
She had the parties who imposed a fine
on her without legal process, arrested
the case being before justice Albers of
Cleveland.
A Rantoul farmer raised 140 bushels of
red clover seed off 20 acres of land this
year and disposed of the same at So25
per acre. Glover seems to have been a
failure all along the lake shore this year.
Owing to the heavy yield of hay an IN
upon letting their second crop run to
seed, but in hardly an instance was it
worth the cutting. Fields and fields of
clover. may be seen throughout this
county uncut.
John Tuna Of Cooperstown is one of
the few farmers who have been fortunate
with clover this year. He had four acres
of red and four of Swedish clover. He
has thus far threshed 26 bushels of red
clover and thinks there are about 7
bushels yet unthreshed. At 81 per bushel
this crop pays quite well. Last year Mr..
Tuna had six acres of clover from which
he did not get kernel. That is the e1-
perlence Of farmers along the lake shore
this year.
Mr.. Kellogg's reports from the Branch
factory show a wonderful improvement
IN the quality of milk. The price for
milk testing four per cent. was on the
1st of November S1.05. For the past
month the highest price paid for milk
per cwt, was S124, the lowest, 75c. the
average Sl.0S. Only II patrons fell be-
low 4 per cent. This is rather a remark
able showing and when the low grade of
milk which prevailed in this county a
comparatively short time ago one can
hardly believe that such improvement is
possible.
