AFAMous OLD HOUSE.

The house of Walter Baker 3 Co.,
whose manufactures OF cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was estab-
lished one hundred and twenty-one
years ago (178O) on the Neponset river
in the old town of Dorchester. suburb
of Boston. From the little wooden
mill. "by the rude bridge that arched
the food" where the enterprise was
first started, there has grown up the
largest Industrial establishment of the
kind in the world. 1t might be said
that, while other manufacturers come
and go, Walter Baker & Co., go on for
ever.
What is the secret of their great sue
cess? 1t is very simple one. They
have won and held the confidence OF
the great and constantly increasing
body Of consumers by always main
tanning the highest standard in the
quality of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles of good quality can be put
upon the market. They welcome hon
est competition; but they feel justified
in denouncing in the strongest terms
the fraudulent methods by which In
ferior preparations are palmed on on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting the genuine articles.
The best grocers refuse to handle such
goods, not alone for the reason that,
in the long run, 1t doesn't pay to do It,.
but because their sense of fair dealing
will not permit them to aid in the sale
of goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made by
the Walter Baker Company bears the
well-known trade mark La Belle
Chocolatiere," and their place Of manu-
facture Dorchester. Mass" House
keepers are advised to examine their
purchases, and make sure that other
goods have not been substituted.
An attractive little book Of Choice
Recipes" will be mailed free to any
housekeeper who sends her name and
address to Walter Baker & Co., Ltd.

Exploited /. Penny Craze.

A London paper tells OF the way in
which a shopkeeper exploited the pre-
vailing craze for collecting pennies of
this years issue. In the window OF
his shop he displayed notice: Five
shillings given for 1901 pennies" A
passerby entered, offered him 1901
penny and asked for the s shillings.
"Oh. yes." said the shopkeeper, but
that is only one penny. Where are
the other 1.900?"

COMP ANYAISSTRONG.
Number of Recruits Added to
Roster of Local Military
Organization.
SIXTY MEN WILL GO INTO CAMP
interest in $500, 900 Appropria-
ton to Improve State
Equipment.

Several recruits were added to the
roster of Company A at its regular
meeting last night. The enlistments
for this sum mer's camp close May in
stead of June 1, as formerly. Twelve
recruits in all have been added this
spring. A number of enlistmenss ex-
pire. but it is thought there will be 90
men in line when the company leaves
for Springfield ia August. The organ
ization was never in better shape.
There is much interest in national
guard matters all over the state,
stimulated, no doubt, by the 5000 900
appropriation which Illinois gets to
improve its military equipment this
year. This will probably mean that
Krag Jorgensens will take the place of
the old Springfield rifles for one thing.
Another matter of local interest i the
prospect OF the com pletton of the tar
get range at the WATERFOWL hospital
grounds at some time in the near flu
ture. This will enable the militiamen
of this city and Moline to get little
target practice outside of the yearly
encampment.
Bill Will Likely Pass.
1t Appeals that there is strong like
lihood that the bill now before the
Illinois legislature providing 25 cents
pay for privates and 81 for officers
for each drill taken part in will pass.
This will mean about SIP year for
those who are regular, and the sum
will be paid in a lump.
II is thought this summer in
campment at Springfield will be the
last one at that place, as the militia
of the different states will be mobil-
lied at four central camps hereafter
under the military law passed by the
last congress. Under this arrange
ment everything will he under regular
army control The period of encamP
mens will be in all prob ability length
ened and the pay of the soldiers may
be somewhat increased.
Benefits From Drill.
Troops from this part of the state
will probably report at some place
south Much bsuefit to the militia
| will undoubtedly be derived by the
improved facilities for drill. but rules
will be more strict and there will be
less play at camp than formerly.
