best way to fight the Grip is to
strengthen the nerves and build up

Taxed the Traveller.

An itinerant merchant whose, ontht
travels on wheels arrived in town some
DAYS ago. Sheriff Qnirk yesterday told
him he would have to pay his taxes
just like any other store keeper. Amer
some demurring the peddler offered TO
pay taxes on a valuation OF S225, but
the sheriff declined the offer and had
the outfit appraised by some local ex-
perts who placed on it a valuation OF
$1305. The tax on this amounted to
$685. 5 and the Sheriff collected a poll-tax
from the MERCHANT and his assistant
bringing the total to $71.25. This with
a $25 license fee brought the total COL
lection to 1925 which was a fair haul
considering the hard times, says the
Virginia City Report. The peddler is the
individual who spent a week here.
Sheriff Quirk is to be ''patted on the
back" for suggesting the remedy home

Pure Food Wanted.

Some very interesting and instructive
facts have been brought out by the
Senatorial Committee with regard to
the general adulteration Of commercial
food products in this country.
Prof. Mitchell, chemist Of the Wis
consin Dairy and Food Commission,
said that the use Of autiseptics as pre-
servatives has become 'alarmingly
great. They are, used extensively,
he explained, to color and keep milk
and butter, one Of them in general use
being a chemical which ''acts disas-
trously on the tissues of the stomach.
Others, he added, are used on chopped
meats, bulk meats, oysters, fish and
hams, and possibly on corned beef. "
He also told of drug that is "exten-
slvely sold to butchers for the purpose
Of making their Hamburger steaks last
and keep up healthy appearance"-at
the expense, Of course, of the healthy
appearance and lasting qualities Of the
people who eat such meat.
DR.. Wiley, the Government expert.
gave the cheering information that he
identified one Of the meat preserving
preparations as ''the same which wat
formerly used at some Of the medical
colleges to preserve corpses obtained
for dissection, and is now occasionally
put to service in disinfecting houses,
where smallpox patients have resided. :"
The materials commonly used "for
the majority of jellies, manufactured
nowadays according to several wit
nesses, are the cores and parings Of ap-
pies" the substance of which lis mix
ed with glucose in large quantities
with sugar in small quantities, and then
colored and favored to suit the label on
thepackage.
In commenting on the above the
News and Courier very truly says that
in view of these, and the many other
like revelations recently made before
the committee, and elsewhere, there
are many thousands of people who
would be very glad to get certainly hour
est ard pure food products-jellies,
butter, meats, baking powder, and so
on-and to pay we'll for them. Any
enterprisiDg person or corporation in
the South should find good profit in
supying tplhe demand in any part.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1899-05-24
Food Wrapped in Paper.

It is a very common practice to put
away food that comes from the shop in
the brown paper in which the dealer
wraps it. While this may be conven-
lent, it certainly is open to serious OBJ
lection on the score OF health and
cleanliness. Most Of the cheap papers
are made from materials hardly up to
the standard Of the housekeeper's ideas
OF neatness; and although a certain de-
gree of heat is employed in their prep
aration it is by no means sufficient to
destroy all the disease germs with
which the raw material may be filled.
When it is taken into consideration
that waste papers Of all sorts, and those
used for all purposes, are gathered up
and worked over into new paper to
wrap our food in, it behooves the
housewife who cares for the health Of
her family to see to it that articles OF
food remain in contact with such
wrapping the very shortest possible
time.
It is not unusual to see meat, butter,
cheese and other extremely susceptible
articles put away IL the very cheapest,
commonest brown paper.
Immediately upon the receipt Of soft
groceries or fruits they should be put
into earthen dishes, and under no cir
cumstances should they be allowed to
remain in the papers in which they
are delivered.
1t is useless to expect that better
class Of paper will be employed, and
so We may as well make up our minds
to guard against the trouble by shift
ing all articles Of food to some dish
that is absolutely free from contami-
mating elements.

Remarkable Longevity.

In a southern family lives an old
man named JEFF, who has been with
them and the previous generation for
more years than they can remember.
He is certainly pretty old himself, 80
his mistress was rather surprised when
be asked to have few days off to go,
as he put it, "up to de old state Of New
Haven" to see his aunt.
Why, JEFF" said the lady, your
aunt must be pretty old, isn't she?"
"Yes'm," he replied; "yes'm; my
aunt must be pretty ole now-she's
about 1O5 years old now"
"a hundred and five years!" exclaim-
ed the lady. why, what on earth is
she doing up there in New Haven?"
Deed, don't know what she's do
in, ma'am," rejoined jeff, in all SER
ousness; she's up dere livin' wild her
grandmother"

Nav Cause Her Death.

Near Starr, in Anderson county, a
deplorable incident occurred Monday
night that threatens to claim the life
of a prominent farmers wife. A Negro
man and his wife on Mr.. B. F. Gen
try's place had quarreled and the latter
had fed the formers violence and
sought refuge in Mr.. Gentry's house.
The enraged husband, locating her and
being ordered from the house by Mr..
Gentry, proceeded to break down the
door, so frightening Mrs Gentry, who
was in delicate condition, that her
life is despaired of. The Negro has
been punished, though to what extent
is not yet known, as he is still in the
hands Of indignant citizens.

The receipts of cotton at Houston,
Texas, since the first Of September,
1898, passed the point of 2, 500, 900 bales
Friday last This is wonderful re-
cord, and places Houston ahead Of eth

receiving and distributing point. Ten
years ago Che receipts of cotton at

bales year. Since then it has become

a Fortune in a Sewer.

A descender into the Paris drains
named Osais made Monte Cristo sort
Of discovery one night in tie big sewer
under the Rue Marie Stuart, not far
from the Central markets. He had
just gone down below to do some sweep
ing and was working on the side path
Of the drain, when he saw large packet
lying close to the wall. He opened it
and found inside heap of railway and
other securities, which he Immediately
took to the nearest police commissary.
The bonds and obligations found are
worth s120,000 and Osais was compli-
mented on his honesty. 1t is supposed
that the securities were either lost by
bank messenger or were dropped into
the drain by a pursued thief, who had
resolved to do away with all evidences
Of his guilt.
