Impure Food.

Exceeding caution should be exercised
in the purchase of a new article of food.
Many recent cases of serious illness have
been reported from the use of the new
patent food for infants, from untested
baking powders and cheap favoring ex-
tracts. The desire for rapid wealth in
duces unscrupulous manufacturers to
place anything before the public that
will sell at large profit, without regard
to its usefulness or healthfulness. At
present there is great raid upon the
baking powder market, and so many i'm
pure and adulterated articles of this
kind have been found peddled about
the country that the authorities of sew
eral of the States have taken the neces-
sary action to expose them. The report
of the Ohio State Food Commission has
shown that large number of the brands
sold here are made from alum, phos-
pilates, or cheap and adulterated cream
of tartar. The danger to the public is
made still greater by the unblushing ef-
fontery with which the proprietors of
these impure powders advertise them as
perfect, claiming for them all kinds of
false and impossible endorsements.
The official report of the Ohio State
Food Commission gives the names OF
a number of these impure powders, and
the amount of impurity and inert matter
in each as follows:

A Clear Complexion.

How can you expect a clesr complex
ion when the blood is full Of impurities
and the stomach clogged? The blood
becomes impure because the liver does
not act properly and work off the poison
from the system, and the certain results
are blotches, pimples and eruptions.
Purify the blood with Simmons Liver
Regulator, and regulate the liver, stomach
and bowels, and then the skin will be-
come clear.

financial embarrassment as has been
generally supposed. Early in the season,
when the company commenced prepar-
ing for the change of guage, they were
compelled to make an enormous outlay
of money. With four or five construc-
tion trains along the line, and small
army Of bridge builders, carpenters, etc.,
at work, their expenses were very heavy,
amounting to thousands of dollars daily.
Yet they met their obligations, and met
them promptly. Not word was heard
about Strengthened circumstances then,
though this heavy expense began as
soon as the season opened and continued
till late in the fall. The company had
ample resources and easily met the
heavy drain made on their treasury.
Bot later, when there were whisperings of
financial embarrassments. it was trouble
Of another kind, about which the public
knew nothing. The company could

An Agitation in France.

French women are agitating for their
ident, because being the most practical of
all women in the world they do not care
about these things, but they want to be
allowed to vote for judges &ho sit in
Judgment in cases which they bring
against men, ard who, they declare, are
often influenced by the fact that the male
defendants are voters while they are not.
In France, where women take more act
i've part in business affairs than in any
other country, the laws of the land hamper
them most outrageously, and their object,
which has found champions in De Fevre
and $50 other deputies, is simply to help
tradeswomen paying licenses to get on the
same business basis as tradesmen in their
particular lines. 1t is likely that they will
attain their end.

William II. has no fixed salary as En-
peror of Germany, but there is about q
q million dollars he can use if necessary.
AS King of Prussia, however, he has q
civil list amounting to $3.50, 600; but the
taste for travel and other expenses incurred
i'll the interest of the empire necessitates,
1t appers, an increase of revenue. So
when the Reichstag reassembles proposal
will be made to add several millions of
peror's recent visit to Vienna and Rome
cost about 100000. Among the presents
that he distributed along his route were
eighty diamond rings, thirty diamond and
emerald necklaces, fifty scarf pins, thirty
gold watches and chains, six sabres stud
ded with diamonds and emeralds, and a
hundred boxes of cigars.
