 Te ruuy -os q que1aDn wnevner the editor of newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the vari- ous proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as 3 preventive of suffering we feel it duty to say good word for Chamberlain's,, Colics Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family fortwenty years and have always found it. reliable. In, many, cases a dose ofsthis= remedy would save hours. of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depend- ing implicitly on any medicine for a cure. but we do -bsliszs.thas if bottle of, Chmberlain's DiarEhoea Remedy were kept, on hand and. adanjnistered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presenceof a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during. the past twenty years. For sale by. Brock ways Pharmacy.

TIE ALUM BAKING PowpEks.
Names of some. Of the Principal Bfsnds
 Sold tastfgs Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers of the effect apen the hum$n system of food made with alum baking powders and the opinions that have been pub lished from noted scientists to the eff feet that such powders render the food unwholesome, have caused numerous l inquiries for 'the names of the various alum powders.
 The following list of baking powders containing alum is made up from the reports Of State Chemist Nicholson of Nebraska, the City Chemist of St. Louis, the Food Commission of Min nesota, or other reliable authority;
 BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM. K. C.. ................. Contains Alum.
 Jaqaes Mfg. Co.,. Chicago.
 BON BON ..........Co Contains Alum.
 Grant CheHlcal Ce. Chicago.
 HOME .,.....~.......C Contains Alum. Homo Baking Powder Co., San Francisco. PERFECT ......... Contains Alum.
 Perfect Baking Powder O.. St. Louis. CLOVER LEAF. ..~.. Contains Alum.
 Paoiac Mfg. .'ce. Los snsoles.
 CALUMET .....,e... Contains Alum.
 Calonet Baking PesFler Co.. Chicago.
 la addition to these, it is learned thet : many grocsrs are selling what they call theirewH private or special brands. These powders are pnt up for the grocer end his nane put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Salt Lake, San Francisco and elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided by the mbftion of the grocer to sell powder with his own name upon the label, especially when the grocer can make an abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtless, do not know that the powders they are thus pushing are alum powders which would be actually contrabaod in many sertions if sold without disguise.
 It is quite impossible to. give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market. They are constantly appearing in all sorts of disguises, under all kinds of cog nomens, and at all kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten cents pound. They can be avoided, however, by the hopsekeepsr who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-iv cents or less per pound are liable to. contain alum as pure cream of tartar baking powders cannot be produced at any thing like this price.

The Grass Widowers' Society of Phoenix held regular meeting last week at the deserted home of Mr. Shirley A. Christy. The Enterprise says: "The Kings of Harmony furnished the music for the occasion, and cigars and light refreshments divested their minds from loneliness and most enjoyable evening was spent" The last time the "Kings (and Queens) of Harmony" appeared in Florence they broke up one man in business, ruined the reputation of half dozen of our leading citisess, and came near causing three respected matrons to go home to ina" Those Harmony people are decidedly in- harmonious, and won't'do. And then to talk of 'sdivesting their minds from loneliness" as if that were the on] ' thing divested.

The official figures of the Geological
 Survey show 7l,500,0OO acres of un-
 reserved public land in the so-called arid States for which aswater supply
 is available, and which, not having
 been croppedi and being rich in plan l. food constituents, is capable under irrigation ssof producing enormous yields. Why are these fine lands not irrigated? Because the project is so vast that private capital--which, when it undertakes venture, wants big returnsA-is not satisfied to build great reservoirs and then sell the lands made irrigable at low rate within the reach of the actual average settler and so it refuses to embark oa the under taking. This fact, that private capital cannot generally make reservoir build ing pay, having already been thorough ly established, then let the Gov ernment step in and build storageres- ervoirs, expending morey therefor as for any other internal improvement. And yet, unlike other internal ex- penditures, the cest of the work would come back through the ready sale of the vast area of it's public lands thus made desirable for farming, hnt which arc now useless and unsalable. This is what the westerner wants the Gov ernnaent to do, and this is what he needs to impress vigorously upon his Senator and his Member of Congress.
