False Economy
Perhaps you use an alum baking
powder be '•ause you think it is
cheaper and therefore more eco-
nomical. But is it?
Leading food experts and medi-
cal authorities have for years
declared that alum baking powders
are not safe to be used. The
chief European nations puohibit
them altogether.
Can it be truthfully said that
an article of food so generally
condemned is economical at any
price?

, A Near Serious Accident.
Yesterday morning while Mrs.
W. L. Williams and her twp sons
were coming to town in a hack
pulled by two mules, there oc-
curred an accident which might
have been serious in results, but
fortunately only slight injuries
was the result.' ' • ; ;;
^It seems that when opposite
the Masonic cemetery, the team
Mrs. Williams was ’driving be-
came frightened at a passing au-
tomobile going in the opposite
direction, and started in a run.
The lady held on to the lines and
endeavored to stop the mules,
but her strength failing, she and
the two boys were thrown violent-
ly to the ground,, the result of
which Mrs. William^received in-
juries in her left hip and back by
the hack running over her. The
two boys were not injured* as one
of. them picked himself up and
caught the mules, stopping them
in their wild run. The injuries
sustained by Mrs. Williams, while
painful are not necessarily dan-
