Boston Globe: Helen Kellar, the re.
markable child who. although born
blind and deaf and dumb. has accom-
plished so much that is beautiful and
inspiring, numbers among her friends
many persons of royal station in Euro
pehn courts who never saw her. One
u these is the queen of Greece. who
srnsc OF Helen thro; gh Michael Anag'
nos. the director OF the institute
for the blind. when he visited
Greece. his fatherland. some time
ago. The interest which the
queen took in Helen was so intense
that she extracted from Mr.. Anagnos a
promise that he would let her read
every letter that Helen wrote TO him
while he was at the Greek capital and
when he was about To leave Greece To
return To this country she induced him
TO permit her to retain several of the
letters that she had read, which are
treasured very deeply - the court
The queen expressed, on more than
one occasion, her surprise that Helen,
who is not in her teens. should have So
remarkable command of the purest
English, and limited that the child
might have had some assistance in the
preparation of her wonderful letters.
But Mr. Anagnos disposed of that
thought by informing her majesty that
there was no person connected with the
institution who could write English 81

of her educational experiences To his
magazine. Ii was expected that she
would write a comparatively short arti-

5000 words, and the material, after
careful reading. was found to be of SC

"A check for that amount was sent her.
This was a short time before Christ

more deliberately considered than il

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD
Which Housekeepers Should Earnestly
Consider.

serious danger .menaces the health
OF the people of this country in the nu-
merous alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon the public.
There is no question as to the detri-
mental effects Of these powders upon
the system. Every board of health.
every physician, will tell you of the un-
wholesome qualities they add TO the
food. Some countries have absolutely
prohibited the sale of bread contain
ing alum
Even small doses of alum, given TO
children, have produced fatal results.
while cases Of heartburn, Indigestion.
griping constipation, dyspepsia, and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane
caused by the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum-phos-
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice Of every physician.
IL Is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
hold, or perhaps cause the death of her
children.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
dcrs be distinguished? And how shall
the danger TO health from their use be
avoided
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they
arc sold, or from the fact that they are
accompanied by gift, or are disposed
1 OF under some scheme. The alum pow
DER costs but few cents a pound TO
Sake. and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents
apoupd. II some present is given with
it, the price may he 80. 40 or 80 cents
pound.
Ii is impossible TO name all the alum
powders in the market. but any baking
powder sold at low price, or adver-
tised as costing only half as much as
cream of tartar powders, or accompan-
led by present or disposed Of under
any scheme, is of this class, detrimental
"a health, and TO be avoided.
But the easy, safe and certain pro-
lection of our bread, biscuit and cake
from all danger Of unwholesomeness is
in the use of the Royal Baking Powder
only. This powder is mentioned be-
cause of the innumerable re orts in its
favor by high me iical authorities, by
the United States government, and by
the off cial chemists and boards OF
health, which leave no doubt as 10 its
entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, its absolute
purity and wholesomeness, while
its use is thus safeguard
against the poisonous alum powders it
is satisfactory at the same time 10
know that it makes the whitest, light
est. sweetest and most delicious food.
which will keep moist and fresh longer
and that can be eaten with immunity
hot or cold, stale or fresh. and also
that owing to its greater strength il is
more economical than Others.
These facts should incline consumers
to turn deaf ear TO all opportunities
10 buy the inferior powders. If gro-
Ger urges the sale of the cheap, impure.
alum brands, it should be borne in
mind that it is because he can make
more profit Oh them. The wise house
keeper will decline in all cases TO take
them.
Take no chances through using a
doubtful article where 50 important a
matter as the health or life of dear
ones is at stake.
