Frank H. Chandler Dead.

Hopes that this widely known and
beloved young man would recover
from the illness with which he has
suffered for some weeks have
proved in vain. Last Sunday he be-
gan to sink, and Monday at noon his
promising life terminated.
Frank was the only son of Mr.. H.
ii. Chandler, of this city. For sew
eral years he had been in charge of
the Chandler Cos. store at Dodge
vile and made his home there, at
! he same time perintending branch
stores of the company at other
places. Under his efficient direction
the store at Dodgeville was regarded
as the principle plant, being the
best equipped and carrying the fin
est line of goods. His death is loss
to the company that can but SER
iously affect its large business.
OF rarely genial disposition, he
drew to himself a large circle of
friends throughout Southwest Wis
consin, where his extensive business
made him widely known. The an
nouncement of his death will carry
sorrow throughout Iowa, Grant and
Richland counties, as he was a fac

He was prominent in the order of
Free Masons, and had received the

is ALUM POISONOUS?
Whitens the Bakers Bread, but PLAYS
Havoc with the Stomach of the
Consumer

Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them
to use an inferior -four, and it is also
employed as cheap substitute for
cream of tartar in the manufacture
of baking powder. Its use in bread
and baking powder is very detri-
mental to health, producing dyspep-
sia and obstinate constipation, and
Eunder certain conditions of the hu-
man system results in poisoning.
! What these conditions are so far as
each individual is concerned can
only be surmised; some popularity
of the system producing n morbid
change in the secretions of the stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the
secretions may be healthy but in
abnormal proportions, and these les
ser or greater proportions Ill combi-
nation with the alum constitute Il
poison just as two parts of mercury
and two parts chlorine form calomel,
which is not poisonous, while one
part of mercury and two parts of
chlorine yield corrosive sublimate,
which is most deadly poison,
