MICHIGAN FED ON ROCHELLE SALTS
This Harmful Drug Concealed In Food
Prepared With Prices Cream
Baking Powder.

Consumers OF baking powder are warned
against an article which has recently been
published In the papers In which number
of baking powders are falsely stated to be
injurious to the health. This article ap-
pears as solid reading matter, but Is, In
reality, an advertisement paid for by the
Price Baking Powder Company.
This dshonOrable method of advertising
Is resOrted to by the Price Company In an
effort to regain the trade which has been
taken from them by Calumet baking pow
der through Its high quality and moderate
price. br "t 'e -A'
BY attacking the healthfulness of oil
other powders, they hope to divert atten-
ton from the fact that food prepared by
DIR. Prices cream baking powder contains
large quantities of Rochelle Salts. Read
the opinions of some Eastern medical au
thorities on this constant dosing with
Rochelle Salts:
DIR K. II. Barley, chief chemist of the
Brooklyn board OF health, and equally
prominent as physician in that city, says:
1.-The cream OF tarter, which forms the
chief ingredient In so many baking pow
ders Is, in the opinion OF all who have
given the subject proper attention, always
Injurious to health. For this reason bread
made with cream of tartar baking powder,
or with the old-fashoned mixture of cream
of tartar and saeratus, Is far inferior TO
that made with other preparations. The
explanation is very simple: Whenever
cream of tarter Is used In the kitchen 1t Is
changed chemically and becomes Rochelle
Salts I"
DIR. Robert l. Dickinson says: "The eff
feet upon children would undoubtedly be
far more serious than upon adults. but
even upon an adult the effect would be to
produce diarrhea, collie and a very much
disordered condition of the stomach and
bowels II would unquestionably produce
a chronic gastric catarrh, IL not gastritis.
1t would also affect the kidneys by increas-
ing the amount of solid matter to be ex.
creted by them. According to BartholOw,
the best authority we have, the continued
use would produce the effect OF heart
poison, by lowering the blood pressure, the
temperature and the action OF the heart"
Food prepared with Calumet Baking
Powder Is entirely free from alum, Rochelle
salts, lime and ammonia. or any injurious
substance.
Calumet was the first and Is the only
high. grade powder offered to the trade at
moderate price. 1t should not be confused
with the multitude Of cheap low grade pow

The twentieth anniversary OF the mar
riage of Mr.. aud Mrs. r. H. Hawkins
was celebrated last Friday at their home
just south of this place in the presence
of their most intimate friends and rela-
tives. After a very sumptuOus dinner,
the guests gathered In the parlor at the
call of the wedding march, played by
Mrs. Darling, of Lansing. Then fol.
lowed devotional by VIM Buck, OF
Delhi. Next was solo by Mrs. Haw-
kins, 1.-The Old anu New Home" fol-
lowed by recitation by little Avena
Darling. A duet was then sung by Miss
Nina Hawkins and Harry Coryell, of
Holt Then there was recitation by
Edward Coryell. of Leslie. entitled
1.-The Forest" followed by timely re-
marks by Mrs Hawkins's mother, Mrs.
G. L. COryell, of Holt, who, in closing,
IT ad beautiful poem entitled ''Only a
Woman" wen never say goodbye
In heaven, was sung by quartette and

by Mrs. Harry Coryell, and another by
Edward COryell, entitled The Chang

given by Nina Hawkins and Avena Oar

Mr. and Mrs. X II. Hawkins with q sew
enty-piece set of china as token of the
love and esteem in which they were held
| by their guests Among other gifts
were many exquisite pieces of china Mr..
and Mrs Hawkins thanked their many

which all joined in singing, God be
| with you till we meet again. Mr.. and
Mrs Jas. Steinhoff, of Mason. and Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Buck, of Delhi, who
were present at this event, were also
present at the wedding twenty years
ago. A most remarkable fact is that
death has not taken any member of the
immediate families who were present at
that first wedding.
After an evening spent in recalling
events of the past, singing and playing,
banjo solos, and a good time in general,
the guests took their departure, wish
ing Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins many happy

Mr.. G. s. Bartlett, of Pontiac, who, with
his wife and daughter, was the guest Of
Owosso relatives over Sunday, is one of the
largest and most prosperous farmers of
Oakland county and has taken an active
interest in the recent effort to secure a beet
sugar factory for Pontiac. He says a mass
meeting was first held and then, after a
committee had visited Bay City and talked
with the farmers in that vicinity as we'll as
with the manufacturers, another mass meet
ing was called. The business men co-ope-
rated with the farmers and by dividing the
work secured the pledges for the required
four thousand acres of beets for 1899. Mr..
Bartlett says that within three days from
the time when the announcement was made
that the required acreage had been secured,
the necessary capital had been offered, prin-
cipslly from outside sources, and the sue
cess of the venture was assured. There
seems to be no reason why capitalists would
not be exactly as willing to invest In sim
liar factory In Owosso IL the farmers will
only realize the immense new cash market
the new business would offer them, and IL
they will agree to grow the necessary num-
Der of acres of beets. The matter will
probably be brought before the business
men Of the city In the very near future and
some way will probably be devised for the
joint action of citizens and farmers In an
attempt to secure this new industry.
