priscd, however, to find that he credits

Swift. But this docs not detract from
the underlying thought of the address,

The Alum Heart.

Many people are suffering from
some form of heart disease who have
no idea of the cause of it.
Any disturbance of the digestive
organs effects the hearts action, aud
therefore every food which iuterferes
with digestion is responsible where
there are troubles of this character.
1t has been discovered that the use
of baking powder made from burnt
alum coagulateS the blood very rapid
ly, which interfcres with its free flow
through the arteries and valves of
that organ. Formerly alum was used
as specific for chtldlen's Group, but
owing to its tendency from the causes
named TO procure heart failure,
physicians no longer employ it.
In face of such facts and in view
of the overwhelming testimony of
scientists as to the poisonous char
acter of this drug when used for food
purposes, can there be any excuse for
the ignorance or unconcern which per-
mits one to take from the grocer II
package of alum baking powder
simply for the sake of saving few
cents in price?
1t is healthful sign that many
states are limiting by law the sale of
the alum baking powder. Very soon
it will be prohibited in all states, or
treated as a poison, as it should be-
But for such laws, how are the alum
powders to be known to consumers?
Where alum powders are not brand

be followed or entertained for a
moment, and therefore VIII not pat
ronize such. 1t does not take much
thinking to write dirtyness. The
loafer and blackguard on the street
can think such rapidly, and can
mhmble IL out between spits. 1t is
the discussion of fairs of merit that
takes thinking and we will endeavor
to the best of our ability to bring on
new era in journalism in this COM
munity, Let the swine wallow in
the slop where they belong and are
happy.
Politically we have our part to per-
form. We are for the people and
with the people. We realize that
this is or should be government of
the people, for the people. The peo-
pie are the supreme power. We will
stand by their best interests as we
see them, subject to correction If
mistaken. w, were among the first
to advocate currency reform, and
now it has taken on great proper
tions, and we believe it is right and
the only road to prosperity in this
country. We advocate direct legis-
lation, though it is not yet very
popular, but the future will see it
adopted as the only true American
ism. We are for Democracy and a
democratic form of government, the
only free government. We are to
the front in the fight for these prin-
ciples until success shall crown them,
and there after forever, that they
may be maintained.
During our recess from the Semi
Weekly we were building up our
list of readers until now we are more
than proud of the vast people that
we represent. We will not stop until
our paper is in every home in Hook
ing. and we ask the earnest co.opera-
tion of our friends. We will not
place blush of regret upon the brow
of any who may intercede in our be-
half.

Monday, May 80, 1898.

SOUTHERN SECTION, all counties
south of Franklin: The day tenn
peratures during the week ranged
between 80 and 80 degrees and those
at night between so and 60 degrees.
Showers fell on the oath and 28th.
More than the usual amount of sun.
shine was received. The general
weather conditions during the week
were very favorable for crops and
farm work, though the nights were
just a little too cool. Wheat con-
tinued to improve and, while head
ing short generally, the outlook for
good crop seems now to be assur-
ed; some of the wheat is in bloom.
Oats made splendid progress.
Meadows and pastures are in good
order. Glover is rather rank and is
showing bloom. The outlook favor-
an excellent crop of hay. Corn is
growing nlcely ana Is being cultl-
waited; the crop is now about all in
ground; that which is up is quite
weedy. Early potatoes are doing
well and are being worked; bugs
are numerous. Gardens are COM
ing on very well. Tobacco ground
is being prepared and works easily
plants are healthy and plentiful; !;
setting has begun, but work in this
connection is not yet general.
Fruit is dropping some; apples are
scarce, but other tree fruits are in
promising condition; the prospect
for grapes is good, Strawberries are
turning out very well,early cherries
are in market, blackberry bloom is
heavy.

A GERMAN cycLlsT BRAKE.
Ingenuity Swiss Mountain That Made
Some Americans stare.

Ingenuity on n Swiss Mountain That Made
Some Americans stare.
Eve Americans travelling abroad are
apt to be very proud of our reputation
for cleverness," said tourist who
went bicycling in Europe last summer.
"And no doubt we have reason to be-.
But am going to tell you how had
some of the conceit taken out OF me.
I'VE were going through Switzerland
and had reached the close Of the first
days descent toward Geneva. The
road had been too steep to coast with
out the aid OF brake, and as we were
afraid to use our breaks for fear our
tires would not last us through our
trip, we back pedalled all the way.
"As we were sitting after supper on
the yeranda of the lodge, discussing
the fatigue of our unusual exercise, and
dreading the morrow, which meant
more of the same sort, our attention
was suddenly called to cloud of dust
descending the mountain side. Then
we saw cyclist, coasting as nice as
you please, towing good-sized sapling
by rope tied to the rear of his wheel,
which acted as an effective brake with
out injury to the tires. One of the
boys calculated: We'll, why didn't we
think Of that? The rest were simply
dumb. That man was German. ]
now take off my hat to our German
brethren of the Wheel"
