Beware OF Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred by the use Of pow
ders sent to the victims through the
mail. In Leavenworth, Kansas, the
other day nearly every doctor in the
town was called to attend children,
who had gathered up, eaten and been
made i'll by samples Of an article that
had been left at houses by a canvaser
for advertising purposes. ,.
Alum baklng powders have been
favorite articles for this sampling
business. Yet there is nothing more
liable to lead to danger than the prac.
tlce OF using the various samples of
baking powder left at tho door. They
are presented by irresponsible parties,
In appearance are not distinguishable
from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana
some time since, one package was
found, after it had caused the death
OF the house wife, to 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 up on their merits and are never
peddled or sampled.

Dig up the Dust.

A Mississippi editor makes this ap-

The editor is hungry and the paper

she needs some stockings, and baby
needs a dress. Jimmy needs some
breeches and 80 does Kate and Bess.
Pud is on the hog train and Peggy
sick with grief, and, good gosh al
mighty, can't you give man relief?
Shell out those nickles and turn loose
the dimes, turn 'em loose and whistle
and we'll have better times. There
will be fewer patches on the bosom
OF our pants. and we'll make the pa.
per better if we have half a chance.
