Is 1t Malaria Or Alum


Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms of a physiological condition
termed malaria" All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect OF
the use of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question about the
poisonous effect of alum upon the system.
1t obstructs digestion, prostrates the
nerves, c%oagulates and d~evitalizes the
blood. All this has been made clear,
thanks to physicians, boards of health,
and food commissions. So 'highly in
furious to the health of the community"
does the eminent head of the University
of Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says their
sale should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to emplo
the very little care that is necessary to
keep so dangerous an element from the
food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder
which is the only kind that should be used
ought to cost about 40 cents to so cents .
pound. Therefore, if you are payin
much less, something is wrong; if you al.
paying % cents or less per pound. IT,
powder is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.

Sears, ROebuek & Co., of Chicago, Doing sa
Immense Business in Michigan. Alwa ;
Give Their Customers Satisfaction.
One of the most conspicuous monuments
to the value of extensive advertising is the
immense establishment of Sears, Roebuck
& CO., of Chicago, ILL.,, which in scarcely
five years has grown to be one of the
largest department stores in that city.
They aim to get a lions share of the trade,
and that is the reason they advertise goods
at figures that must appeal to those who
may know the regular prices and are only
too anxious for a chance to buy such goods
for less money than they can be bought
in Owosso. They advertise sewing ma
chimes and organs in this issue.

In the future it would be a good idea if
people having telephones in the vicinity
of a fire would Immediately notify the
central station of its location, so that the
attendants could call up the fire compan-

case. This would save valuable time, and
would not allow part of the apparatus to
go astray, as was the case yesterday.

1t is quite probable hat the township
committee will run a strip of Macadam
road, IA feet feet wide, through Grant
street to the railroad. The appropriation
made to improve that thoroughfare is
sufficient to do the work, which could be
done at a reasonable figure by the con
tractor who will build the road from here
to Burlington. If the money is thus ex-
pended it will not be wasted.

A few hours after the public had re-

a runaway occurred from the breaking of

On the same day, on the same street, the
wheel of a log wagon was dished and the
spring of a carriage broken. Comment

Chambersburg, Pa, has been bothered
with the tramp nuisance, and the heavy
expense entailed on Franklin county has
brought forth a vigorous protest from the
taxpayers. 1t was thought that the sys-
tenn of farming ~vagabonds prevailed to a
great extent, and to ascertain the truth of
the matter three detectives from Harris
burg, disguised as tramps, were arrested
and placed in jail, which rave them an
opportunity to learn all about the bust
ness. The information secured was sufi-
cient to cause the arrest of severals Off
cials. 1t has been said that the same state
of affairs existed in Burlington county, but
the recent investigation by the freehold
ers and the retirement to private life of
one or more constables, has made a no
ticeable depreciation in the commitmen
of tramps as DRINKS.
