IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find
it Contains Alum and Rock, Declare
it Dangerous to Health and Dump it
into the River.

II Dangerous to s1ea,th and Dump it
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 Sixth ave.
department store. The report of the
analysis of the Health Department
stated that it was IAN alum baking
powder containing alum and pulverized
rock.
The different Health Authorities seem
to have different ways Of repressing the
sale of bad baking powders. In England
they have prosecuted the grocers under
the general law and broken up the
traffic. In Missouri the sale of alum
baking powder is actually prohibited
by law. In New York they seize the
unwholesome stuff and cast it into the
river, without any discussion. The
latter way is certainly effective.
The alum baking powders are usually
offered at low price ten to twenty
cents pound, or with some prize, as a
temptation to the housewife
Consumers can protect themselves by
buying only high-grade baking powder
of established name and reputation.
Do not be tempted by the grocer to take
something else as Just as good" or Our
own brand" for the trials show that the
grocer himself. is often deceived by
unscrupulous makers and is selling an
alum powder without knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the markets let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right, and
not be induced to risk the life of the
family for an imaginary saving of few
cents

Congressman fordney Gets Four
More Rural Routes for Shiawassee

A few days since announcement was
made that there had been two rural
routes ordered established at the Hen
dersoa post Office, service on the same
TO begin July 1st Now the informa-
tion comes that two additional routes
have been ordered established at the
Owosso post Office, the service on these
routes also to begin on the 1st of July.
The carriers named are, Charles Peters
for one of the Henderson routes, the
carrier for the second route having died
after his name was sent in, and for the
two Owosso routes which will be known
as Nos. and Z, L. p. Royce for No 6
and Glenn e. Blair for No Z. The
territory covered by the two Henderson
routes takes care of practically every
mile of territory in Shiawassee county
between the Owosso routes on the south,
the Burton route and Elsie routes on
the west, and the Owosso routes on the
east. The two additional Owosso routes
practically complete the rural delivery
for the township of New Haven and
considerable portion of the north half of
Caledonia. Their establishment will be
combined with re-arrangement of the
present route 2 to make the covering of
that territory possible.
The pressure on the department for
the early establishment of rural routes
has been so great> that Representative
Fordney is to be congratulated on his
success in getting the order for their
establishment at this time. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that his face is famil-
lar one at the Office of Supt. A. w.
Nachen who has charge of the rural free
delivery work. But for his tireless at
tention to the matter however and re-
peated visits to the department in be-
half Of these routes for Shiawassee
county they would hardly have been
ordered in for a long time to come. In
this connection it may be said that at
Mr.. Fordneys earnest request Special
Agent S. B. Daboll yesterday inspected
a half day route from the Bennington
office which the congressmtsi has strong
hopes of getting established by the de-
partment. This will result in the caring
for the last part of Bennington town
ship as yet unserved and will be greatly
appreciated by residents of that town.

Oak Grove Farmers Club.

The April meeting Of the Oak Grove
Farmers Club at the home of Mrs.
Wicking, henceforth to be known as
MY Home" was a decided success,
both in numbers and interest. The
hostess and her charming daughter, Miss
May Ferris, are whole souled people
who make you feel at home at once.
President VIM. Cole was in the chair.
Crime and its Cause" was spoken
OF, and as according to the highest
authority, ninety per cent of the crimes
committed are laid at the door of the
saloon, it was suggested that it would
be becoming, as club, to set the seal Of
condemnation upon the traffic There
fore it was moved and carried that the
president appoint a committee to draft
resolutions to that effect to be presented
at our next meeting for consideration.

fact of Prince Henry being obliged to

Reynolds does not think it becoming
for Americans to make such an ado

due courtesy. Mr.. Wilcox remarked
that the time had been in the history of

fed from the countries OF Europe that
they might be free from the tyranny
and oppression of the titled gentry, and
there was no question then as to how
they should be receive by Americans.
why do not Farmers Unite in a
Business Wayg" One answer was that
the moment any important question
comes up they Immediately divide on
party lines, and as long as this remains
fact, farmers, as body, will never
succeed. 1t was remarked that some
one had said that "The farmers would
never unite except to eat good dinner

THE KING ON HISFEET
Doubts Regarding Coronation
Laid at Rest.
IT WILL TAKE PLACE On AUG. 9.
Apprehension That Edward Would
Not He Able to stand the strain
of the Ccremony hiiuyed by
Reports From COwes.

LONDON. July 3o.--The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing Aug. o as the date
upon which his majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumors which
nave pcrvaded all classes for the last
few days now appear to have lost that
scmblance of probability which made
even the members Of the cabinet nprv-
GUS lest another postponement of the
coronation might be necessitatcd.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain
of the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessencd by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted to
use his feet and, with the aid Of
stick, has done Il little walking. An
other late telegram from towes, isle
Of Wight, saying that nearly all the
restrictions upon the kings diet have
been withdrawn, has been welcomed
as evidence that the recent ominous
deductions were drawn without due
allowance for the doctors extreme
cautiousness. While the king was test
ing his ability to walk two stalwart
jackies stood at his side. After this eX-
pertinent, which BODIED well for his full
filling the necessary coronation func-
tons at Westminster abbey, King Ed
ward sat smoking on the deck of the
royal yacht and watched the races Of
the small yachts off Cowes.
Those who drew differences from the
fact that the invitations to Westmin-
stcr abbey were not dated have had
their fears dsspated by the proclama.
ton published in the Gazette fixing
Aug. 8 as the date for the coronation,
which postdates and is altogether more
important than anything which might
or might not have appeared upon the
cards Of invitation.
According to che present arrange
ments. King Edward and Queen Alex
andra will leave Cowes either Aug. q
or Aug. for Buckingham palace and
will return to the royal yacht Aug. 1S,
when the entire fleet will pass before
King Edward and salute him, thus
making a second naval review After
his return to the yacht the king Is ex-
pccted to take an extended cruise to
the northward and subsequently to
spend some weeks at Balmoral. where
preparations for the arrival Of their
majesties have already been com.
menced.
