FOUND THE TICKET.
Strange Case in Which an OttumWa
Woman Was Interested.

Centerville Citizen: Agent A. c..
Sheridan of the c. R. l. & P. tells a
story with a moral. The other day a
woman who was enroute from Ottam-
wa to Los Angeles over the Rock Is
land, while handing her ticket to the
conductor at a point near Laddsdale
was Mortified to see it blown out of
her hand by a strong gust of wind
caused by the opening of the coach
door and she burst into tears as she
saw it flutter out of the door and dis
appear. She thought sure she would
have then to pay her fare. Mr.. Sheri-
dan, who was on the train was ap-
pealed to by the conductor, new
man on the division, to advise what
ought to be done in the case and they
finally agreed that the woman's trans
fer check would be sufficient evil
dence by which to get duplicate tick
ct at Kansas City and so everything
was arranged satisfactorily. Later
strange to relate, the original ticket
was picked UP in the brush by young
farmer who brought it to the agent at
the nearest station. No one ever
dreamed that the ticket would be seen
again, but it so hapnaned. Mr.. Sheri-
dan says the mora S that you can't
lose anything by riding on the Great
Rock Island route.

Ottumwa was last night treated to
splendid rain and everyone is more

can be no crops and without crops
there can be little business. The key

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Finds
1t Contains Alum and Rock, De-
clare 1t Dangerous to Health and
Dump 1t Into the River,

1AiiP INV hiiS thlNSis
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 depart
ment store. The report of the analy-
sis 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 re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prose
secuted the grocers under the general
law and broken up the traffic. In Mis-
souri, 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 GER
tainly effective.
The alum baking powders are u.s.
ually offered at low price, ten to
twenty cents a 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 and repu-
tation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as lust
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 it.
There are several good powders on
the market; 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
a few cents.
