Here Is a plan which will make you wealthy if you faithfully carry it out. Money makes money. No one is s J poor that he cannot rake up a penny to start on. Now, upon the first day of the month deposit a cent In a bank, and on each of the succeeding thirty days of the mouth., double your depoHit. Follow this program faithfully, and at the end of the month you will be surprised to find that your account will show the sum of ten million, seven hundred and thirty-seven thouund, four hundred and eighteen dollars and twenty three cents to your credit. With that amount all you have to do hi to retire and let the other fellows bustle. If you don't believe this statement, do a little sum in arithmetic and be convinced. In the face of such a plain simple financial problem, who is there that cannot grow rich in a month and forever afterward snap his fingers at poverty aud labor?

The Health Department of New York I hftB Be,zed a quantity of so-called cheap I 1..1.I.. . . a ..... baking powder, which It found In that city. Attention was attracted to it by the low price at which It was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and the chemist of the Health Department reported the stuff to be "an alum powder," which an alysis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulverized rock. The powder was declared to be dan gerous to health, and several thousand pounds were cartered to the offal dock and destroyed. It Is unsafe to experiment with these so-called "cheap" articles of food. They are sure to be made alum, rock, or other injurious matter. In bakintr powders, the high class, cream of tartar brands are the most economical, be cause they go farther in use aud are healthful beyond question. Letter to A. H. Ulsh, MlHDLEIiUKOIf, Pa. Dear Sir : You understand grinding wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn. We understand grinding white-lead and white-zinc. The twosortsof grind ing are not much alike. Very likely oats and wheat behave very differently in the mill, and you manage them dif ferentlywe know very little about your work ; don't kuow; don't need to; we'd rather depend ou you. But you paint your house and mill, and out-buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to kuow about grinding paint; for some people mix their paint with a stick in a tub. We use lead and zinc nothing else. And our zinc is as tough as your oats. Tub mixtures imagine tbey mix it. They don't; they can't Take grinding to mix lead and zinc. They are both white. Tub-mixers don't know it; but tub-mixed lead and zinc is a streak of one alongside of a streak of another. We grind as you grind; and our paint is lead and zinc ground together, mix ed intimately : it is neither lead nor zinc, bu t lead and zinc : the lead is lost and the zinc is lost : each lost in the other : both lost in the mixture. Lead chalks and zinc peels : lead and zlno ground together hang on and protect each other. We take care of your mill outside you take care of it Inside. ours truly, F. W. Devos & Co.
