Beware of Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York two deaths
occurred from poisoning by the use of
powders sent to the victims by mail In
Leavenworth, Kans., the other day nearly
every doctor in town was called to attend
the children who had gathered up, eaten,
and been made ill by samples of an article
left at houses by canvassers for advertis-
ing purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been favorite articles for this sampling
business. Yet there is nothing more liza
BILE to lead to danger than the practice of
using the various samples Of baking pow
der left at the 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 housewife, 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 upon
their merits, and are never peddled OF
sampled.

(Rockville cor. to Sunday Republican,
There is little known in Rockville in re-
gard to the proposed through trolley line
from Worcester to New York. which has
been agitated SO extensively by the Wor-
cester papers the past week. They are
certainly wrong in one particular, which
is in regard to the statement that we'll
known Rockville men are among the pro-
motors of the proposed link between
Warren and Rockville There is no
doubt, however, but Rockville capitalists
could be interested in the scheme, as the
proposed road would be certain to develop
plenty of business, as there is demand
all through this section of country for
better railroad facilities. From Warren
the road would run through Brimfield,
Wales and Wilmington, and then through
Stafford, Crystal lake to Rockville, con-
Meeting there with the Hartford, Man
chester and Rockville line for Hartford.
The distance is only 80 miles, and by
building three links, Berlin to Meriden,
Wallingford to New Haven and Stamford
TO New Rochelle, total distance of only
80 miles, a through trolley line from Bos-
ton to New York is obtained. These four
links of 60 miles are all certain to be
built, and the prospect now seems good
that the Warren Rockville link may be
built next year. The road would be of
great benefit to both Rockville and Stat
ford Springs, and in few years both
ley line from Boston to New York. The
fare between the two cities would be
about $3.50, and Rockville people could
then go to Boston or New ork fer about
$1.25. 1t will be we'll, however, for
Rockville and Stafford people to interest
themselves in the road, as shorter con-
Meeting link can be built by way of Spring
field, as only eight miles would have to
be built from Warren to Indian Orchard,
and four miles from Warehouse Point to
East Windsor. But by this route the
distance would be considerably longer,
which would not make it as feasible ,
the Warren route The survey
for the road will follow nearly that for
the old United States Central rail DAD,
made some years ago, and designed to
connect Worcester and Rockville by a
steam road. The late Samuel Fitch of
Rockville was president of that company
for some years.
