Harmful Drinks.

The state dairy and food commits
sioner has sent the following circular
letter to the newspapers of the state:
To tho Editor:
We wish TO call the attention of your
readers to the matter of beverages put up
for stirnmer use, including so-cailed fruit
elders. In some cases 1t is undoubtedly
true there is nothing harmful used in the
preparation, but many we have found to
contain poisonous colors and injurious
pr~eservatives. There is nothing beneh-
ciaI in any of them.
Parents will do well to furnish lemonade,
ice cream, milk shake, etc, of their own
make rather than allow their children to
partake of questionable beverages.
These injurious preparations are being
shut out Of the state as fast as found, but
their variety is legion, and it would take
an army ofinspectors to completely cover
the field.
A preparation called Mrs. Prices Can
ming Compound is composed almost
boracic acid and veryiniurious.
Housewives should not use it.
Yours truly,
C.. T.. SHERWOOD, Commissioner.

SMALL Pox has appeared in Zion
City. Profane reports are that if
teen cases exist, while the main push
at Zion admits of eight. Dowie and
his elders are making prayers, but
we notice they have shown the white
feather to the extent Of separating
the diseased goats from the clean
sheep-a proceeding wholly unnec.
essary If he has faith in the efficacy
of his prayers as applied to such a
matter. As there are no physicians
in Zion and drugs are blacklisted an
epidemic of small pox will pr owe a
serious matter. 1t is hoped that the
disease can and will be confined to
Zion City where exists such faith in
Dowies prayers. Here is an oppor-
tunity for Dowie to make good after
his utter failure at the time of the
accidental burning and death of his
daughter.
