rheumatism for the past eighteen
months and as we had tried quite
number of remedies, none of
which seemed to benefit her, we
thoughtwe would try the waters
and baths of this place for a
short time.
We travelled very leisurely,
taking plenty of time to rest our
selves and team as we'll as to
look at the crops and country.
We had good rain the day be-
fore we left home. cooling the
atmosphere and settling the dust
which made it very pleasant
travelling. We crossed Grand
river at what is known as the
Upper ferry at Brunswick and
travelled west and south to De-
Witt. Just across the ferry on
the Carroll county side we saw
the finest crops that we have
seen since starting, and that on
land l travelled over some twenty
or twenty-five years ago and
considered almost worthless for
farming purposes as it was wet
and muddy at that time and had
a thick growth of timber and
brush on it, but now such crops
I never saw anywhere. The corn
was simply immense and the
onions were just piled up in the
row and the largest l ever saw
in this country. I saw a field of
about five acres that, | think,
will make 400 or 500 bushels to
the acre.
l found when 1 got as far west
as Norborne that there was con-
siderable difference in the corn
crop as it seemed to be about two
or three weeks later. 1t was
planted about the same time as
ours, but the two-weeks' dry
weather in our county had caus-
ed our corn to mature quickly.
After leaving Norborne we never
saw any corn that was drying
up the least bit. it seemed to be
nearly all just beginning to get
hard.
l found upon inquiry that land
all along the route seemed to be
selling higher than with us, that
is land Of the same quality as
ours.
We stopped at Richmond, Ray
county, for short time where we
met Mathew Creel, wife and
daughter, Miss Matte, relatives
ours. Mrs. Creel is also a niece
of S. p. Ewing, Sr., of Keytes-
Vile.
Up until this time travelling
had been pretty smooth, but the
worst was to come. After trav-
cling four or five miles northwest
of Richmond we came to the
rocky hills and it looked if we
were going straight up" for a
while. We passed over some of
the deepest gulches and up some
! :. the rockiest hills | ever saw.

IMPURE eAx,Ne POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find u
Contains Alum and Rock. Declare IL
Dangerous to Health and Dump
1t Into the River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department OF that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons OF cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found In a
Sixth ave. department store. The re-
port OF the analysis OF the Health
Department stated that 1t was "an
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulyerized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways OF re-
pressing the Lale OF bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prosecut-
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale OF alum baking powder ls
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stun
and cast II into the river without any
discussion. The latter way is certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at low price. ten TO
twenty cents pound. or with some
prize, as temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder OF established name AMI
reputation. DO not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as Jus,
as good" or 'our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself Is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS max
ers. and is selling an alum powder
without knowing II.
There are several good powders on
the market: let the horsekceper Insist
