THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.
The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolEardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win. But the man who
takes chances with Nature is bound to
lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou
sands who are cut down annually in
life's prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form of disease, but to an attempt to
evade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man is
his stomach It Is in disease of the
stomach that many of the maladies
begin which carry off the busy men of
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about tree. 1t throws out a tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man IS srnitten by
heart disease or lung disease or Sue
curnbs to some malady of kidneys or
liver The real seat of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of a cure is that the treatment
ignores the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms of disease
of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF
of the soundness of the proposition that
diseases of other organs remote from
the stomach which are caused by dis
ease of the stomach must be cured
through the stomach, and, in fact, can
not be cured in any other way. The
best proof in the world is that Doctor

New York.
Judge Clarke. of st. Louis. has con
victed and fined heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the health depart
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed. with ground rock, and
dumped it into the river.
The health authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, TO use
it, Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis. but the ordinary
housekeepcr. whose assistance in
protecting the health of the people
is important, cannot make chem
zeal examination. She may easily

from the fact that they are sold at
from ten to twenty cents for pound
can. or that some prize-like spoon,
or glass. or piece of crockery, or
wooden ware-is given with the pow
der as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize
the Importance of this subject and
consumers insist upon having baking
powder of established name and char
aster. and as the health authorities
continue their vigorous crusades. the
alum danger will. il is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

DECISION THAT COUNTY
MUST PAY SMALLPOX BILLS

Attorney General Hamlin has writ
ten letter to States Attorney Ad-
Olson j. Boutelle, of Galesburg, which
gives Il decision in the highly inter
esting contention as to the liability
for smallpox charges which arose in
the meeting of the supervisors here
last week. His opinion is against
the supervisors, who believe that the
charges should be paid by the town
ships in which the cases occur. The
Knox county board in 1896 passed a
rule that contagious diseases should
be a township charge and that the
county would not be liable therefor.
The attorney general holds that the
county cannot pass such a rule for
the purpose of relieving the county
from liability and imposing the same
upon the township. This decision
agrees with the brief of Illinois de-
cisions and opinion submitted by
States Attorney Boutelle, of Gales
burg.
