Burgess, Valiant and Fox Get the Nonli.
nation.

The Democrats of Missouri
have nominated three able men
as candidates for Supreme
Judges. Gavon D. Burgess of
Linneus, Linn county, has
made an excellent record on
tn, bench. Leroy B. Valiant
of st. Louis has served a short
while on the supreme bench and
his record is a good one. Joseph
D. Fox of Fredericktown has
been circuit Judge for several
years and his decisions have
proven that he will make an
excellent Supreme Judge.
There were some good able
men defeated but it could not
be otherwise when twelve of
MissorTi's ablest lawyers were
asking for three places. The
ticket is a good, strong one.
The Kansas City platform was
Endorsed by a vote Of sol to 1899.
The nominating session lasted
all night. Burgess was nomi
mated on the first ballot; Fox
on the sixth and on the eighth
Valiant was nominated by ac
clamation.

In the summer Of 1857 Mr..

of his ,neighbors, an excellent

Did You Know III

In Virginia and North Caro-.
lima our independence was as.
serted long before the declara-
ton was signed in Philadel-
phia.
The spirit of revolt was in
the air years before the Fourth
of July. rs, especially in our
southern colonies, which &C
cording to Edmund Burke and
Lord Chatham, containeds a
larger proportion OF liberty low
ing people than the north.'
In every early assertion Of
independence southern men
took the lead-in the Virginia
Legislature, at Mecklenb burg, N.
c., and at Philadeldhia.
If these southerners did the
most of the talking and writ,
ing at that time they also did
most of the fighting. Every
historical record containing the
facts shows that the south fur.
nished more troops than north
in the revolution. The north
was practically licked and was
swarming with tories when the
battle Of Guilford Court House,
in North Carolina, turned the
tide in our favor. and led to the
surrender of C)rnwa lis and
Yorktown.
The north has always had d
set of active fellows who were
better at writing history than
in making it. The scribblers
and artists up there have been
busy for generations magnify
ink the part their section took
in the revolution. and our
southern children are still
studying their text books and
growing up in ignorance of the
fact that the men of the soutl
started the war, won its decis
i've battles saved the colonies
established the union, formed
it's constitution and mapped Gu
the policy which has made this
the greatest and most powerful
nation on the globe. -Atlanta

Letter to Carbon Seebold.

Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe Is better
than two Of mixed paint.
The American House, at Tannersville
(Catskill Mts. N. Y, Chas L. Wiltse,
had two coats Of Mixed Paint five years
ago; last spring had two more coats Of
the same.
Owner was going to uss Deyee but
got his Mixed Paint few cents less.
Right across the street, Chas. Harner
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time-last spring.
The Harner house is the better lob:
but wait five years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
Is sorry already. He has learned some.
thing that not one man in thousand
knows-that q gallon of one kind Of
paint can contain twice as much paint
as a gallon Of another kind Of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even If you have 1t given to you.
At the same time, you zee, that Mixed
Paint appears to have worn five years
give the devil his due.
Yours Truly,
F. w. DEvOE & Co.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED.
The New York Board Of Health Find II
Contains Alum and Rock, Declare IL
Dangerous TO Health and Dump
it into the River.

The New York Board Of Health Find it
Contains Alum and Rock, Declare IL
Dangerous TO Health and Dump
IL 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 pulver-
lied rock.
The different Health authorities seem
to have different ways of repressing
the sale Of bad baking powder. 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 actully
prohibited by law. In New York they
seized the wholesome stuff and cast 1t
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 a pound, or with some prize, as
a a-temptarion to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name and rep
utation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else ~ 'Just
a. good" or tour own brand, }" for the
trials show that the grocer himself IL
often deceived by unscrupulous makers
and h selling an alum powder without
knowing 1t.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows " right
and not be induced to risk the life Of
the family for an imaginary saving Of
. few cents.
