How Cheap Baking Powder is Made.

A recent seizure of lot of "cheap"
baking powders by the authorities of Il
neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering through the coun-
try. The price of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
were taken and analyzed. The Official
reports of the analysis showed the stuff
to be ''alum powder, composed chief
ly of alum, sulphuric acid and pulVer-
lied rock. The powders were declared
dangerous to health and several thou
sand pounds were confiscated and de
stroyed.
Physicians have frequently caution
ed consumers against mixing food
with these so-called 'cheap" baking
powders. They are all found, when
analyzed to contain largo percentages
of alum and sulphurie acid to which
are added various sorts of filling mat
ter sometimes both injurious and
nasty.
The high class, cream of tarter bak
ing powders, are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making
the food better and more hcalthful.

Death of George N. Holcombe.

George NJ. Holcombe died at his
home on North Union street, about 5
o'clock on Friday morning, after an
illness of some time. He had been in
poor health for number of years, but
his condition became serious few
days ago and he rapidly grew worse
until his death.
Mr.. Holcombe was prominent in
business and financial matters and
was highly esteemed. He at one time
held the Office of city clerk and was
also connected with the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. He was engaged
in the real estate and insurance bust
ness and did much also to advance the
mterestsof our city. A wife, four daugh-
tcrs and one son survive him.
The funeral services were held at
his late residence Monday afternoon
nj 80 o clock, and were conducted bv
the Rev II. A. MacKubbin, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, of
which church the deceased had been a
member.
The last rites were very largely at
tended by friends and relatives, in.
cluding former associates connected
with the Delaware aud Raritan Canal.
and Pennsylvania Railroad.
The interment was in Mount Hope
cemetery and the arrangements were
i'll charge of Funeral Director LaBaw.

Carriages Collide.

While Howard Ryan, his wife and
daughter Edna were ont driving Mon
day evening they met with an acct
dent which, had it not been for the
remarkably quiet horse they were driy-
ing, might have proved quite serious.
As they drove down Union street a
rig of Susie Dobillnski dashed through
Delaware avenue and as Mr.. Ryan
had no warning or time to turn ont,
his carriage was run into, one of the
shafts being broken Off No one was
hurt, with the exception of Mr.. Ryan,
who was badly bruised by the horse
striking him in the breast.

The triple play made in the Nor

work seen on the grounds.
In Helyerson's absence Rambo,
our star centre-felder, covered first
and acquitted himself very creditably.
Thornton's umpiring ON Wednes-
day gave satisfaction, but it must be
remembered that all of Doylestown's 5
defeats are credited to the umpire.
While there has been marked
improvement in the fielding, the boys

Lambertyille managed to win out in

Iambertville managed to win out III
the ninth i'll the game with Morrisville
last Saturday. after one of the most
exciting and hard fought games of the
season, making Lambertyille one to
the good in the series.
Only few of the white and black
admirers accompanied the team, but
what they lacked in numbers they
made up i'll lung power The famous
Hot Air Band under the personal
| direction of Leader Chet. Van Sewer,
occupied seats in the grandstand and
between the rounds rendered appro-

Morrlsville being unable to secure
professional twirler, resurrected the
one time invincible south paw. Shorty
Justice, and it must be said that
Shorty considering it was his sec
ond appearance on earth, did we'll.
II he keeps the good work up, his Rip
Van Wrinkle stunts will be interesting.
In the opening innings Shorty had
onr bunch putting up pop flies or
making easy infield chances, and it
looked as though the "Reds" would
prove easy winners.
Jakeman pitched a fine game but
his team mates made the blunders
that allowed Burns men to make the

matters in the fourth and that ended
the tallying until the seventh when a
combination of punched hits and er
rors allowed Morrisvile TO send three
more across the rubber.
1t now began to look as though the
"Reds" had the game cinchsd, but in
the eighth Lambertvillc punched their
hits and before the fusilade ended the
score was tied.
In the ninth Morrisvlle went ont
one, two, three. Then Shorty" JUS
tice got aboard his airship, and before
Jack Reynolds could persuade him to
descend, Bush and Allen were on first
and second. Then Rambo dropped Il
little bunt and before Morrisville dis
covered the proper place to throw the
ball, Bush scored the winning run,
and the band played and the crowd
yelled.
The feature Of the game was the
triple play executed in the second
inning. ,Iakeman gave Foulke and
Wright free passes to first Captain
Jack came to the bat and endeayored
to bunt. Instead, he put mp pop fly
