Tis sweet to be remembered, In the turmoils of this life While toiling up its pathway And mingling in its strife ; While wandering on earth’s borders, Or sailing‘on the sea, *Tis sweet to be remembered, Where ever-we may be. When those we love are absent From our bearthstones and our sides, Tis joy to learn that pleasure And peace with them abide. And that though we be absent, We are thought of day byday: Tis well to be remembered, By those so far away. Remembered then I love thee, Where ever I may be; Shall ever love thee truly, Since love ean never die! Tis sweet to be remembered, By those we leave benind ; It causes us to pen them Many a golden line. When all our toils are ended ; The conflictshall be done; When peace in her sweet accents Claims the yietory won ; When hushed to sleep our sorrow : And calmed the worldly strife. Tis sweet to be remembered, In such closing hours of life. Harty ¥. WInsLow. POISON IN LEMONADE. SICKNESS AND DEATH LURKING IN THE GALVANIZED LEMON SQUEEZER, «Wait a moment; doctor; let’s have a glass of lemonade.” A large crowd was pushing and elbowing its way towards th: grand stand at a nearby resurt recently when the above remark was made to a tall, fine-looking man who seemed to be suffering from the excessive heat. His sbirt collar was unbuttoned from the thrvat, his cuffs were turned back over his wrists and his ap- pearance was that of a man in his last stages of “wilt,” The invi- tation to partake of the lemonade seemed agreeable to him, but he no sooner got to the stand where the light beverages were dispens~ ed, than he gave a glance and started back, saying: “None for me. I admit that I am thirsty and a glass of lemon- ade would be very refreshing, but look—tbat settles it.” With the handle of his palm- leaf fan he pointed to the hugh lemon squeezer made of galvaniz- ed iron. “Why, doc’, that’s all right. They make the drink to order. They won’t go off—it’s a lemon squeezer.” “The law should probibit its use. Rather than drink lemonade made by that machine I had rather drink the water from yon-, der horse trough. The lemon squeezer is made of galvanized ironor iron coated with zinc. Every time a lemon is squeezed by it the citric acid coming in con- tact with the metal desolves the zinc and forms an unwholesome and poisonous salt. Zine is a metal which is readily attacked by the weakest acids, and no ar- ticle of food or drink should ever be allowed to come in contact with it. Find mea place where they use the old_fashioned wood- on equeezer or where the lemon is macerated in a porcelain or g'ass vessel and I'll gladly join you in aglass of lemonade; but here, where they use the death dealing zine machine—never!” — Troy Times, Great Bargains: IN RELIABLE FOOT WEAR! ——AT THE—— | 912 7th Street, northwest.
