IfHowell, whoever he may below
ellis doubtless was acknowledgements the
following searching, trenchant and chaste
criticism by the st. Cloud Tribune, he
wilrretire from the field of letters, brok-
~en-hearted, discouraged. A criticism so
classical in tone, 20 keenly appreciative
of the force of English asshei is spoke, 80
pure in style and faultless in concep-
ton is calculated to cut in pieces him
against whom it is directed. Read it
it is terrible:
Bolton, the farmer who had always
taken care of the Kilburn elace, came to
meet her at the station and drive her
home. Miss Kilburn had hidden him to
drive slowly, SC that she could take in all
the changes"
This choice little piece from Howell's
latest novel which the American regards
as a model of the modern style of writing,
1t was published by a leading maya
zine to show the budding ability of this
man OF genius. 1t seems hardly nee
essary. to call the readers attention to
the vulgar use of language. The words
IohS dS uSSu, dIe IrOm the circus
ring and car only be tolerated in news
paper work. A man who in his moraliz-
ing moments uses such English is worse
than a clown, and is no representative
of American ability as a prose composer.
Budding ability" OF w. D. Howells-
We Gods and little fishes, how cruel! It's
vulgarity-how shocking! Circus ring"
worse than a clown! Oh, William D.,
how could you, in your "moralizing mo-
ments"-but it would be cruel to rub it
in! Brewer is the critic Of your English
no more ridiculous fate is possible!

concerned Barto is long way in thelead
and he has fully forty delegates at his
back, among which are a number of the
best convention workers in the state, and
to beat him the field will have to COM

Barto is second choice of six churchman's

THE DANCER BEFORE Us.

We have already alluded to the impor-
tance of housekeepers paving more at
tentiOn to the kind Of baking powder
used in leavening their bread. This is a
matter to which we cannot draw at
tention too often, because it is something
which involves the most serious conse-
.quences to the general body of mankind.
Temperance apostles tell us-and there is
ample foundation for the statement
that there is disease, both moral and
physical, in the Intoxicating cup; and in
the same way there is disease, slow, per-
haps, but certain, in the lime and alum
leavening agents employed in many of
the homes on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poisonous
alum and lime baking powders before the
public with the assurance that they are
pure and wholesome articles. In the be-
lief of the truth of such statements such
baking powders are largely used in the
preparation of food and in this way the
poisonous ingredients are taken into the
system without a suspicion of their
presence. By and by come spells of head
ache, distress in the stomach, loss of ap-
petite, a futtering of the heart; the child
IS seized with an apparently cause1ess
cough. Tbs coating of the stomach is
destroyed, perhaps; one of the vital or.
gans is rendered almost useless; the kid
neys are attacked with Bright's disease.
The health of the child is irrepairablv
broken down; the adult becomes a
chronic invalid. These are the doings of
the modern cheap baking powders that
are composed of lime and alum, or that
contain sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts surely all house
wives should exercise the care that is, we
know, nov exercised by some in the Sc
lection of a proper brand of baking DOW
der. She who does not do so, whether
the neglect is the result of ignorance or
recklessness, cannot free herself from the
responsibility for the health, perhaps life
thereby endangered. No housewife need
be ignorant of the quality and compost
ton of the article which she uses to
leaven her bread, biscuit and cake, The
official reports of the government chem
lists, who are certainly unprecedented,
have been published and show very clear
ly the quaG4y and strength of all the
baking powders in the market. The
Royal baking dowder, which is accessi-
BILE at every hadd, is reported absolutely
free from lime, alum, phosphate acid, or
any injurious ingredient. 1t is further
stated by the most eminent authorities
on food hygiene that food leavened with
it is more wholesome than when raised
by any other method. Its use is there
fore to be commended. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that no other baking powder,
when there are so many in the market,
some of which will find their way into
use, is free from all of these substances.
The official analysts assure us however.
that all except the Royal contain either
lime or alum. The housekeeper who re-
CARDS the health of her loved ones should
not only order the Royal, but make per-
sonal examination to be sure that no
other brand is sent her in its place.

SOUND SENsE.-A contemporary offers
the following excellent advice in speak
ing on the encouragement of home enter
prise: eff people generally could be
brought to see the Importance of sup
porting home industries, home merchants
and home tradesmen, the community in
which they live would be much benefited.
1t is a great mistake to go away from
our town to purchase articles that can
be obtained at home, just to save a few
cents Every dollar sent away for goods
that car be furnished by home merchants
cripples business just that much, and to
that extent is a detrimeut. The longer a
dollar a be kept in circulation at home,
the more good that dollar will do the
town; and the more you benefit the
town in which you live, the more you
benefit yourself. Almost every small
town sends hundreds of dollars yearly to
the large cities for goods that can be had
at home, just as good and very nearly as
cheap, thinking they are deriving i'm
mense benefit from the few cents saved,
seemingly forgetting that local dealers
. and tradesmen are entitled to their pa
tronage. What the people of the smaller
towns need to make them more prosper
u and happy, is a disposition to aid
each other in all legitimate ways, cult
waiting dispositions of friendship rather
than jealousy and suspicion. There
should be less %backbiting, and less con-
tumelythan is generally exhibited. If all
will make up their minds to spend their
dollars and dimes at home, thereby en-
ricling each other to the extent of the
profit on articles bought and sold, it will
be money invested, and it will rnturn ten
fold in the future, and be the means of
building up their town. Every penny
spent at home is a benefit to somebody,
while every penny sent away is adamage
to the community. One fact is undoubt-
eddy overlooked by people who send
away for goods, and that is the more
business that you give your home mer-
chant, the better he is able to give you
low prices; and the same is true of
tradesmen and merchants"
