Another Campaign Lie.

issue Of Aug. Is, 1898, prints the follow
ing item
"HoQuIAM, Aug. Is, 1S9S.-Special. -
The Populist assessor OF Chehalis county
has completed his assessment for 1898.
The most striking feature about it is the
fact that tie valuation OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad gets a reduction from its
assessment OF last year of $4,000. Per-
sonal property is reduced $4,000. The
valuation Of the county is given at 81 )
300, 126. an increase OF $3.50, 035 over the
previous year."
The most Striking feature" OF the
above article is its lack of truth. The
equalized valuation OF the N. p. Ry. track
in 1897 was S532 ,4-i7, in 1898 the value is
$525,75S, making Il difference of $6,6St

The Alum Heart,

Many people are suffering from some
OF the cause OF it.
Disturbances of the digestive organs af-
feet the hearts action, and therefore foods
which interfere with digestion promote
troubles of this character.
Alum baking powders are a prolific
cause OF heart troubles. The physiologi-
cal effect of burnt alum is TO coagulate
the blood. This interferes with Its free
flow through the arteries and valves f
the heart. Physicians have ceased Il G
use of alum as a specific for children's
Group, because Of its tendency from the
causes named to produce heart failure
In presence of the overwhelming tesi-
mony as to the danger from alum when
used in food, no one will knowingly use
an alum baking powder. Nevertheless
many such powders are used and the
public suffer in consequence. The seller
of these powders may be unaware of their
true character or perhaps heedlesslv dis
regards it for the greater profit there is in
them. The consumer must be on his
guard
Where alum powders are not branded
as such, nor their sale prohibited by law,
it is better to avoid the use of any new
or doubtful powder until it has been an.
alyzed. The purity Of all powders may
be suspected il they are sold at price
lower than the price OF the best standard
brands. We know the Royal to be first
class cream OF tartar powder and if con-
sumers insist upon having that brand
they will then be sure OF a pure, health.

1t behooves every one to use extraordi
nary care in purchasing food supplies.
We do not hesitate to recommend the
Royal TO all who are in doubt as to the
powder they have been using, as the
United States Government tests place
that brand at the head OF all the tarratc
powders
