Complimentary to Mrs. Ed. Merry.

A charming event of the week
was the reception given by the
Christian church and Sunday
School, to Mrs. Ed Merry, at the
home Of Hayden Colvert Oh Tues.
day evening.
On account Of the heat. the re.
ception was held Oh the lawn, that
had been decorated for the occa
sion by the different ladies OF the
church, and the many Jananese
lanterns gave sufficient light, and
greatly added to the beauty of the
scene. Misses Maude Colver, and
Nora Robertson served at the lem.
onade we'll, which had been bull,
out Of great rocks and looked quite
natural.
The Mandolin Club composed OF
a. 7. Vawtcr. Noble Brunaugh,
Frank and Arch Naylor and Chas.
chaplinc, kept things lively with
some fine music
Miss Maude colvert gave some
vocal selections, Mr.. Vanstone
playing her accompanimen,s. that
were well received.
There were quite a number OF Ia.
dies on the receiving committee.
but unfortunately, we failed TO get
them all; Mesdames R.B. Eubank,
J. W. Carter. X. Holloway, chas.
Vanstone aud Miss Emma Albeit
served on this committee. ana il
was one of the most delightful
evenings, marred only by the
though, that they were soon to
lose Mrs Merry. who was such a
Jealous aud faithful worker iu
church work, having taught the
infant class at Sabbath School OF
20 little girls. for years
Her presence at the diiicren,
meetings connected with church
work will be greatly missed. as she
was ever ready to do more even
than her part, being always
able to sugges, aud carry OF, her
plans, never considering anything
a hardship. but was ever cheerful
and patient. Such a woman is a
power in any church.
Mrs. Merry with her husband
and family will leave this week for
scdalia, which will be their home
IN the future. Refreshments OF
brick cream and cake were served
to over 100 p ersons aud il was a
most enjoyable event.

Suppress Alumned Food.

The doctors inform us that alum Is a
poison, and that alum powders should be
avoided because they make the food un-
wholesome. Prominent hygienists, who
have given the matter most study, regard
these powders as an evil that should be sup
pressed by state action. In Minnesota and
Wisconsin alum powders are not permitted
to be sold unless they are branded to warn
consumers of their true character, while in
the District of Columbia the authorities have
under the direction of Congress adopted reg
ulations to prohibit the use of alum in
bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states, as we'll
as those of Minnesota and Wisconsin, en-
titled to warning of danger which is ap.
parently menacing them at close hand and
is not the whole country entitled to absolute
protection, as the people of the District of
Columbia are protected, by legislation
which is entirely prohibitve?
Until we can have protection in the form
of statute, how can our state boards of
health, state analysts or food. commissions
better serve the public than by publishing
iu the newspapers from time to time the
names of the baking powders which they
find to be made from alump
