acids which will absorb the poison OF

very unhealthy. and if allowed to re-

ease within tho past few years has

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST. NEW york.
Our Band,

The following has been handed in
by reader and we heartily endorse
the sentiments:
1t is to be regretted that the Wor:
thington Band has let politics get INTO
it, to such an extent that last night
they resolved to disband, at least
until spring.
1t was to be hoped that with the
start they got last year, they would
improve the long winter evening and
thus be in shape to sts rt out in the
spring without waiting half the sum-
mer getting in shape.
Every one knows how often it was
remarked last year, "how much livlier
it made the town seem to have
them ont o.ce in whlle."
1t is to be hoped that they will see
the foolishness of letting politics dis
turb such a good and elevating work
as the encouragement of the musical
spirit in our midst, for what is more,
the prospects of the band receiving
encou' agement that would result in
an excellent organization, was never
more bright. Everyone had feel
ing, that had the band continued
financial support would have been
rendered them during the coming
summer for concerts. The light
station park with the improvements
that will be made would have af-
forded fine place for concert, but
the Court House steps was a good
place and the music rendered there
last summer was appreciated and
enjoyed. 1t is hoped that the band
will be reorganized OH a practical
basis.
