SmalI-pox in Wall PAPER

many years ago person WAS sick Df
smallpox In farm house inthe country
Tow OF GrotoD, and after the Pat cut
recovered the dwelling was fumlgafed
and repapcrcd. Ira Chester and family
now dwell In the house. The paper was
removed week or SO ago, and presently
Mr.. Chester's daughter was stricken with
smallpox. In the opinion of the ply
sician the germs of the disease were
dormant in the walls of the roon."
The above clipping from the Cincinnati
Enquirer makes good the claims of SAM
tarians, that all disease germs ind hid
ing place in wall paper, with its vegetable
paste to hold it on the wall, and its
animal glue to hold its colors: that
THESE, to say the leust, are not the
pest materials with which to cover
so much space around us es the walls in
which we live and sleep, and that paper
and glue are great absorbcnts of mois-
ture, Of which every person throws of
certain number of ounces in exhala-
tions every day, and that such dtcaying
material as glue and paste gives off de.
leterlous gases In such small quantities
tnat we DO not discover them, though
those who study it can smell it in most
rooms papered, and especially where
humber OF layers of paper have been
pas ed upon each other.
SAnltarians claim that these conditions

we are aware of; that such state of

The Poultry Raisers' Rule Of Ten.

Ten hens In house that is ten
seet square, with yards ten times the
size of the house, is rule to follow.
Ten hens with one male is the correct
mating, and ten eggs under setting
hen in winter, are enough. Ten
weeks is long enough to keep broiler
before it goes to market and pair
of ducks or fowls should weigh not
over ten pounds. Ten cents per
pound is the average price for fowls
in market, and 10 cents should feed a
hen one month.

fYOu Want The Best

A LTHOUGH you may have had good luck
with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and following directions
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants, and in the homes of our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests.
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
II you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is Indispensable

BE VIGILANT,

We learn that certain man in =
certain county is putting in his time
working to be made delegate to the
meeting of the State Alliance. It is
hardly probable that be would spend
much time at this business merely
tor the honor there is in it. There
must be some scheme Oh foot. We
ask the brethren everywhere to be on
their guard. Be careful who Won
elect as delegates or to important
Officers. Elect no mau who so far
forgets himself as to begin system
atlc campaign in his own interest
In saying this We do not mean that
members of only one party should
be elected delegates or officers. The
Alliance is far above anv patty and
there are enough well meaning men
In all parties to have them all repre-
sented IN the list of officials or dele
gates. But no members, no matter
which party he may be with, should be
recognized as eligible to any position
If he units himself by campai gning.
BE careful who you eject to repre-
sent you at your county meetings
and there will be fewer mistakes in
sending delegates to the State meet

BUM fCkES UP HIS SILVER VIEWS.

We believed that Congressman
Bum, of the Fourth North Carolina
district would fail to redeem any of
his pledges, but hardly expected 1t
this early. He was in New York re-
Gently and reporter of the Daily
Press interviewed him. The Press
says:
congressman B. H. Bum. of
North Carolina, told me yesterday at
the AstOr House that a sentiment is
growing in that State in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman silver pur-
chasing act. "A year ago. he said.
there was free silver coinage craze,
but the outflow of gold to Europe
and financial depression seem to have
changed public opinion. The con-
gressmen of my State may now favor
State bank currency, but not free
coinage. So far as the tariff is con-
cerned, | am in favor of revision.
l can't say, though, that favor the
repeal of the Mckinley law. l heard
from the administration Yesterday
that the extra session of congress
Will begin about September 18TH"
SO the Mckinley bill is all right
now. 1t was simply awful before
the election. Bum says he is not in
favor of It's repeal. The ''free coin
age craze" is no more than we ex-
pected, but how does that jingle with
a speech made in congress by Bum
IN favor of absolute free coinage
ABOUT year ago, and in which he
showed that he believed free coinage

now does his constituents feel now !?
