The M. I. C. met with Mrs. Dr.
J. £. Hunter Thursday afternoon
week ago. The study "Mack-
beth" was discussed by the mem-
bers. Mrs. Mittie Allen recited
the murder scene and was well
rendered. Quotations from
Shakespeare were given. Also
many interesting current events
were discussed. The lesson
ended, our hostess invited us
to the dining room where we
feasted on delicious strawberries,
ice cream and cake. The rooms
were beautifully decorated frith
lovely flowers. We wish for
many such returns of the after-
noon.
Last Monday at Mallow Lake
Prof. Jus, D. Bright and wife
chaperoned his school for a pleas-
ant day picnicing. Many friends
enjoyed it with them. Oh! the
dinner, ice cream, etc., we did
have. Lots of fun, jumping rope,
climbing trees and riding sap-
lings. When we returned to

noticing a crowd gathered view-
ing the hotel in flames. All was
done by everyone to save it but
the tire was under too much
headway before it was discovered.
Jno. Nicholson owned the build-
ing and most of the furniture
which was an entire loss,as his in-

ture, dishes, aud nearly $600
in greenback which was deposited
in a room upstairs. We sympa-
thize with all who were losers by
the fire.
We were pained to learn of tho
very sad death of Sam Beard-
He* with his family ouce lived

deeply sympathizes with the be-
reaved ones. It seems sometimes
we are forced to realize the say-
ing, "In the midst of life we are
in death," when we see how sud-
denly our friends are cut off. May
heaven's sweetest comfort and
sympathy be given the loved ones.

Aunt Su^ie.
Condemned in Missouri and Con.
fiscated in New York.
Judge Clarke of St. Louis has
convicted and fined heavily a
number of grocers for selling
baking powders containing alum.
The week before tho health de-
partment of New Yor« seized a
quantity 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
taking effective means to prevent
the introduction into our markets
of injurious substitutes instead of
wholesome baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is a great tempta-
tion for those manufacturers who
make substitutes and imitation
goods, to use it. Aluui baking
Eowdors can be detected by the
ealth authorities by chemical an-
alysis, but the ordinary house-
keeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of the people
is important, cannot matte a
chemical examination. She may
easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they
are sold at from ten to twenty
cents for a pound can, or that
Borne prize—like a spoon or glass,
or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware—is given with the powder
as an inducement.
As the people continue to real-
ize the importance of this subject
and consumers insist on having
baking powder of established
name and character, and as tho
health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades, the alum dan-
er will, it is hoped, finally bo
riven from our homes.
