Beware Of Food Samples.

Quite recently 10 New York two deaths
occurred from poisoning by the use of
powders sent 10 the victims by mail. In
Leayenworth, Kansaa, the other day
nearly every doctor In town was called to
attend the children who had gathered up,
eaten and been made III by samples Of an
article left at houses by canvassers for
advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been iayorlto articles Tor this hampllnR
business. Yet there is nothing more
liable TO lead TO danger than the practice
Of using the various samples Of baking
powder left at the door. They are pre-
sented by irresponsible parties, 10 APP
pearancs are not distinguished from
arsenic, and indeed, In Indiana some time
since one package was found, after II had
caused the death OF the housewife, 10 have
been mixed with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples Of food
or medicine offered at the door. Pure
cream OF tartar baking powders sell upon
their merits, aud are never peddled OF
sampled.

some interesting editorials from the
Western World, the paper through
which Street q Wood assailed Col.

give an idea Of the anger these men
stirred up against themselves by The
serious charge against one Of the
most prominent and accomplished
politicians IN the Union, and especially
because be had been uce-president
when Jefferson was president. When
this twenty-year-old youth from Viz.
ginia and the mature Mr.. Wood from
New York began TO assail q man Of
Colonel and eK-Yice-P President Burr's
standing, it IS a wonder that the
Kentuekians did not lynch them.
They would have been fortunate TO get
off with the usual order, "Stop my
paper" Henry Clay, with all his
popularity, was against them, and that
meant that the community was against
them. Challenges poured IN on them
to fight duels, and as Mr.. Wood was
only q writing editor, he left that to
his young partner to attend to. There

amount Of misery is caused at this
season, however, by impoverished blood,
poor appetite and general debility. These
conditions may be renedied by enrichiug

to put new life into the whole physical
