BITTEIt TASTE. It Aids in the Detection of Unwholesome Food. Daniel Webster in the famous White trial in Salem, Mass., years ago declared that “murder will out.” This maxim has been found applicable to many other things besides murder. Housewives know it to be true when there is alum in baking powder. A bitterness in the bread at once betrays the alum’s presence. It can't conceal its true nature. The alum bitterness “will out,” and because it will, physicians, who understand the harmful effect of alum on the system, are at a loss to know why people continue to buy baking powders containing it. All baking powders sold for twenty-five cents a pound and less contain alum There is surely no economy in using these cheap powders. For a pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr. Price’s was shown tobFaTthe’Woria’s Fair, goes so much farther and gives so much better results, there is no doubt of its being more economical in the long run. For Sale—Farm, seventy-five acres, sixty acres cleared, welldrained, good fenced, new land, young orchard, fair buildings, five miles southeast of Berne. Price $2200. Address, Jasper Leming Berne, Ind. , 43w4 For .Sale— A good Deering mower, has only cut live acres: also a breaking and shovel plow.

Who Should Advertise' . Who should advertise, is a question that has been propounded and answered in different ways. Our answer, every one who has anything to sell, whether it is produce of hand, brain or machine, and in cases where those who wish to by or secure, or exchange anything that they cannot obtain conveniently, they should advertise. Advertising should be treated precisely as any other investments, and in nine times out of ten it pays a better profit than anything else for which money is spent. The best evidence that advertising pay is the fact that millions of dollars are invested in it by all sorts and kinds of trade and by most successful business men in the land. Os course it pays. ' No sensible man can believe that successful business houses advertise and become extensive advertisers for the fun of the thing. With themltis business just the same as buying stock or selling products. » There are certain principles of trade that men ought not to ignore, and among them the principal one is regular, legitimate and persistent advertising—Michigan City Dispatch A full line of fresh meats of all kinds and everything in the fruit line at our usually low prices.

It is her first visit here since she left five years ago. Boston's ‘•Uncle Noah.” There is a well meaning old gentleman in Boston who goes about in fair weather or foul with an open umbrella over his head. He is one of the notable characters of the town, highly respected as far as that goes, but pitied as the victim of the delusion that a downpour is always impending. The story is abroad in Boston that he once got a terrible drenching and contracted therefrom a cold that threw him into a fever, out of which he issued with his life, but an unbalanced mind. All he could remember of his experience was that he was out without an umbrella, and though capable of doing business and comprehending every other subject, he still lives in dread of a second deluge. He is known as “Uncle Noah.’’—Boston Herald. Obtained Expert Advice. Talk about nerve! A Caribou dentist tells The Republican that a woman came to his rooms one day lately, and, showing him an achiug tooth, asked if it would come out hard. The dentist, after an inspection, replied that it would be an easy tooth to pull; whereupon tho sufferer remarked: “Wall, I’m glad. A blacksmith promised to pull the tooth with a pair of pinchers, and I guess I’ll let him do the job, if the tooth is comin easy.” And away she went, leaving an astonished and bewildered dentist to gaze at her in wonder as she started for the blacksmith's shop.—Lewiston Journal. - ' A New Application of Scripture. There was rejoicing in the village at the killing, of a pig. Being dead, it was cut up. A stole secretly into the larder, and annexed a piece of pork, which she brought in triumph to her mistress. Next day the clergyman of the parish visited the old woman, who recounted to him the remarkable sagacity of the beast. “It was quite beautiful, sir,” shesajd piously, “to see the way tire sweet creature brought me the piece of pork; it brought to my mind what we read in the Bible about Elijah and the ravens. ” —Realm. The Knight’s Surcoat. The knight’s surcoat, a long, flowing gown, worn outside the armor, was an impediment in action, but valuable Otherwise, for it often saved his life by indicating his rank, position, wealth mid the amount of ransom he was able to pay. The gold inlaid and jeweled armor of tlio knights served the same purpose by advertising the rank and Wealth of the warrior. He (delighted with a new play)— Isn’t it grand?
