Tbe opening sale at the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse last week was quite a success both as to the quantity of tobacco and tbe prices realized Some 25,000 or 30,000 pounds of tobacco was OB tbs floor, and considering tbe fact tbat there was no fiue tobacco-tba first curing beiDg always the poorest of a crop - tbe average price was good, being 7 or 8 cents.

[Popular Science Monthly.] Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion and often feverishness are the common symptoms of a physiological condition termed "mala? ria " All these symptoms may be and fre? quently are the tffect of the nse of alum baking powders in focd making. There is oo question about '.be poisonous effect of alum npen tbe system, lt obstructs diges? tion, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the blood. Ail this has been made clear, thanks to physicians, boards of health, and food commissions So ' highly injurious to the health of the commuoiry" does tee eminent bead of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the alum baking powders, that be says "their sale should be prohibited by law " Under these circumstances it ?s worth the while of every housewife to employ tbe very little care that is necessary to keep so dan? gerous an element from the food of her family. A pure cream of tirtar baking powder, which ii the only kind that should be med, ought to cost about forty-five to fifty cents a pouod. Therefore, if you are paying much less, something ii wrong ; if you are paying twenty-five cents or less per pound, the pow? der is certainly made from alum. Always bear these simple facti in mind wheo purchasing baking powder Monaghan Hose Co. Officers.
