Protect Our Food.

Tue doctors inform US that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent by
gienists, who have given the matter
most study, regard these powders as an
evil that should be suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders ars not permitted to be
cold unless they are branded to warn
consumers OF their true character, while
in the District Of Columbia the authori-
ties have under the direction Of congress,
adopted regulations to prohibit the use
OF alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people OF other states. as
we'll as those of Minnesota and Wiscon-
Gin. entitled to warning OF q danger
xhich IL apparently menscing them at
close hand, and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as the
people of the District OF Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is entire
" prohibitlve!
Until we can have protection in the
form OF a statute, how can our state
boards OF health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the bak'
ing powders which they find to be made
from slum!
Meantime, it will aid the housewife il
designating the alum powders to re-
member that all powders sold at twenty
five cents or less per pound are OF Thu

powders srs usually sole at from forty
five to fifty cents q pound.

and vigorous administration Of the Re-
publican party, with its abundance of
opportunity to labor for good wages

Tor them. These gold standard dollars
are worth two free silver dollars. But
ne does not pay his laborers in gold

laborers a dishonest 5O-cent dollar for
making them. Mr.. Mclean, on his

And the people of Ohio, in the midst of
the blessings Of an honest prosperity

Those who profess to believe that
Admiral Dewey is lukewarm on the ex-
pansion question have another guess
coming to them. He has too true q
conception Of the duty of naval Off
Ger to speak publicly at this time or
such an important question, but it can
be stated on good authority that there
is no stronger expansionist in this
country than Admiral Dewey. Presi-
dent Mckinley, his fellow members OF
the Philippine Commission, and Others
know this now, and in due time all the
world will know it.

TELEPHONE NOTES.
Items of Interests Concerning the Affairs
of the Central Union Telephone
Company.

Owing to increase in patronage the
Central Union Telephone Company has
found it necessary to install second
switchboard and employ a second oper-
ator. Mr.. j. F. Stephens OF the switch
board department, is here with two
men setting up the board. The work
will be completed this week. This in
crease in facilities will ensure prompt
ness in handling both exchange and toll
calls.
Recently the company placed its free
residence service on paying basis
with the result that they have now 2l5
subscribers and others waiting for SER
vice.
Next week the following towns will
be connected to the recently completed
Wellington Wooster toll line; Hunt
ington, Spencer, Homer, West Salem,
Pleasant Home, Red Haw, Rows and
Lattasburg,
A farmers exchange has been es-
tablished in Litchfield with ten sub
scribers. These patrons Of the COM
pany have in addition to local service
the extensive toll line facilities Of the
Bell companies at their command.
Commencing with Monday, Oct. 16,
Il daily test will be made Of each tele-
phone as per notice on directory card
Between the hours of and 8 q. m.
those telephones which have not been
used at that time will then be tested.
If any find it inconvenient to assist in
the test they will so notify the oper-
ator and a record will be made for fu-
ture guidance. 1t is hoped, however,
that the advantage Of such test will
be appreciated by all of the subscribers.
The installation Of the new switch
board and the changes in the subscrib-
ers' numbers incident to the division
OF the lines between the two boards,
has delayed the October issue Of ex-
change directory. The directory will
probably be ready for distribution in
about ten days.

a Leonidas, he also possesses the diges-

of the new Republic; but only part of 1t was
moved. In the process of lifting it, in 177i,
from the sand that had covered 1t over, the
rock split, and during the century and more
that the upper part was moving, the neither
remained in its original position. The people
who saw 1t sunder said: ut is prophetic.
Thus shall the colonies be sundered from the
motherland." But in 1880. when the half that
had wandered for more than century came
back, the lower half was raised and the two
were cemented together. never again to part.

has brought to u.s. till this rock itself shall
crumble and be lost in the sands Of the shore.

Our tradition concerning the landing place
Of the Pilgrims has come down to US from the
generation OF the Pilgrims themselves. We
may say that 1t was founded upon rock. and
this, Notwithstanding the fact that 1t was l2l
years after the Pilgrims landed when this
rock first received public recognition.
The tradition which was abroad in the com
muUity crystalllzed In the year l74l In oppo-
sitlon to proposition to build wharf AZ this
point and over the rock. To settle the DIS
cussi0ns that then arose, the oldest man In
the community was brought to this spot in a
chair This was elder Thomas Faunce, long a
ruling elder in the church Of Plymouth, and
clerk of the town. From his father, who came
over in the Anne in 1923, he heard what also
had been told him by the surviving Pilgrims,
the story Of the landing and the place thereof.
Elder Faunce was 95 at this time, and num-
Der OF the Pilgrims we're still living when he
was of adult age. He was 40 when John Alden,
the last of them died Elder Thomas Faunce,
for 40 years the contemporary OF the Pilgrims,
publicly identified the rock, and, we are told,
bedewed it with tears when he bade 1t his last
farewell This places the tradition on no un-
CERTAIN BTOuHu. We arc SURF ds VIC uocu Cdi Q
to be, that this one bOwlder on this Shore To-
Gated as it is, near the mouth of the creek. a
bowlder which itself was pilgrim of the
glacial age, first afforded our foreiathers a
footing on New England shores.
In IVA, the tide Of a new national spirit was
rising among US, and 1t flOated Plymouth
rock from Its mOorings, and these l3 colonies
from their allegiance to the mother country.
In that year the rock was moved to the centre
of the village. drawn by twenty yoke OF oxen,
amid great rejoicing, to Town square, where
1t repOsed at the base Of liberty pole, bear
ing the legend Liberty or Death" For sixty
years it remained there, and in 1884, was
moved to the front Of the new Pilgrim Hall,
where, for i6 years it reposed within the iron
railing that now inclOses the Mayfower tab
let; but In 1880 it was brought back to its origi-
nal site and placed beneath this canopy.
