THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD.
Success Of the Efforts to Scotch Bad
Eo linr poxyd orc

Baking Powders.
The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company up
on the hosts Of adulterated and i'm
pure baking powders sold through
out the country is having desirable
effect. The scandalous attacks upon
the Royal company by the manu-
features OF the impure goods (which
are made doubtless both from a
spirit of revenge and in the hope OF
breaking the effect of the damaging
exposures) show that they are hit,
while the official reports which have
come from various public authorities
fully corroborating the statements
made by the Royal company, have
awakened wholesome public senti-
ment in favor of repressive laws,
which means mischief to the illegiti-
mate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder CON-
pany set out some time ago to ex-
pose the character and to break up
the sale of adulterated baking pow
ders. Having found from an exam
nation OF many specimens that
there was large number OF actually
injurious powders in the market,
they brought the matter before the
public and denounced the makers
by name in the press and to the health
authorities. The affair was taken
up by physicians, Boards of Health,
and Legislatures throughout the
country, chemists were employed to
test the various powders in the
market, and the government itself
directed analyses to be made before
it would purchase the supplies need
ed for army, navy, and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges
made by the Royal company. Not
only we're the majority OF baking
powders in the market found TO be
largely adulterated, but many of
them were ascertained to contain
alum and other poisonous ingredi-
ents to such an extent as to render
them positively unsafe for use in
human food. In making the charg-
es the Royal Baking Powder COM
pany did not hesitate to enter into
competition with every other bak-
ing powder in the country, and it is
a public satisfaction that in the
official tests by the government and
State chemists and by Boards of
Health, the Royal Baking Powder
has been declared to be the superior
OF all Others in strength, purity, and
wholesomeness, and absolutely free
from all inferior or detrimental SUBJ
stances.
From recent official reports it is
evident that the alum and other
wise impure goods have again come
upon the market in dangerous guam
titles and their old enemy, the Roy
al, is again upon the warpath. In
continuing it's warfare against these
goods the Royal is meeting with the
old-time opposition and abuse. The
public, however, will appreciate, as
heretofore, both the object Of the
abuse and the action of the Royal
company, and award full justice to
the company that so fearlessly
stands up for it's protection from

cit is simply like dream of the Ara
bian Nightsp" said Sibyl, as they en-
tered the great court of the Casa Car
della, with its splendid space, its grace
full arches, its feathery, broad leafed
plants, its fragrance of orange flowers,
its musical fountain, gilded galleries and
cleaning lamps, for it was evening and
the American party had been invited to
dine with Derwent's Mexican friends
Besides the language in which most
of the conversation was conducted, the
only English thing about the entertain
ment was the fact that the group of
men fingered little over theft wine and
cigars after the ladies had left the room
The interval, however, was not long, and
when they re-entered the salon Derwent
at once perceived his opportunity to ex-
change few words with Dona Zarifa.
She and Sibyl had been walking up
and down the long, splendid room,
while Mrs. Derwent sat on the special
sofa of honor with Dona Luisa and
talked French fiuently. Both girls
paused as the gentlemen entered, and
Miss Lenox sank gracefully into seat
while Dopa Zarifa moved away to where
vase filled with great masses of grow
ing heliotrope stood on a pedestal of
puebla onyx. She began to gather a
few sprays, and the fragrance of the
flowers filled the whole atmosphere
around her. 1t was almost Intoxicating
In Its sweetness, Derwent thought, as
he moved on toward the lovely, classic
figure and the dark, soft eyes with their
glance of welcome.

heliotrope for me, senorita?" he asked.
smiling. Thanks; you are too good to
answer that presumptuous speech by
giving me one. 1t is delicious-I have
never seen heliotrope bloom anywhere
else as in Mexico-but, if l might ven
ture to say SO, there is another flower
that would prefer to have"
"And why should you not venture?"
she asked. "Surely you have learned
that with our flowers at least we are
generous"
What are you not generous with?
But your cactus"-he looked at the bios
SONS she wore in her belt-''is so entire
ly your own that 1 fear you would not
care to give it to stranger"
"Oh" she glanced down, smiling and
blushing little, ait is the cactus YOU
mean? Well, frankly, think the hello
trope suits you better. This, as you say,
is especially for Mexicans."
"And may not be adopted, in de-
gree at least, as a Mexican?' he asked.

Mexico my home for an indefinite length

Furnace colds" so prevalent in the
autumn as to be almost directly trace
able to the first overheating of city
houses, are more manageable than the
colds caught by neglecting to have the
chill taken from the rooms by one good
heating. If you allow the furnace fire
to die down after it has thoroughly
warmed and dried the house, the ''snif-
des' and ''hay fever" symptoms of a
furnace cold will not linger, provided
that you treat it to plenty of fresh air.
A cold taken from "a chill" as it is
followed by some fever, demands rest
and warmth, warm mucilaginous
drinks and plenty Of fruit. A furnace
cold can be best thrown off by vigorous
exercise, a fresh walk on the sunny
side of the street, avoidance of street
cars and making a plentiful diet of
grapes. Above all sleep in abundance
of fresh air, either admitted into your
room safely" shielding the bed with
tan screen toward the window side
or in ''draught," which many people
have now trained themselves to enjoy.
Wrap up the head in some light-knitted
shawl or other drapery; have sufficient
bed clothing, and you can defy augury
end the furnace cold.-Chicago Journal.
