Whooping cough has been uncomforta-

one family up town three children were
afflicted with that ailment at the same
time They coughed and coughed and
coughed, and the family pet, an intelligent
parrot, took it into his head to initiate
them. Whenever any one of the children
coughed he would accompany it with a
coughing paroXysm so natural that it was
impossible to tell whether it was one of
the children or the parrot that was cough

The Dog Held Fast to the Basket.


A little girl and big Newfound-
land dog came through Steuben Park
the other day. The little girl was
carrying papa's dinner and the big
dog was caring for both. The little
girl thought she would teach her
companion to be useful, so as they
entered the park she placed the han
die Of the dinner basket in his
mouth. He trotted along quite
proudly, and when he came to the
sparkling fountain and the cookbook
ing pool beneath it the noble animal
resisted the temptation to drop the
basket for the pleasures the waters
offered him. lie was too truel He'd
take care OF that basket il the pool
froze over! Well, he would just wade
through. He'd take the basket with
him where it would be SAFE. So he
walked carefully through and cooled
papas dinner in sparkling cool water.
He due his head, but he never let
go Of that basket committed to his
faithful care. He did not tarry long
either, but came out, shook himself
and the basket dry. and trotted
along feeling better, thank you."-

A Matter of Health.

Housekeepers family realize tn
danger of nm indiscriminato use of tn
numerous baking powders nowaday
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per
sistency by peddlers and many grocerf
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and indame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrhoeal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, csustic potash,
burnt alum, oil are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals arc applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes Yet INSCRIPTIONS man
ufacturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
dersso made, by all kinds of allurlngad
vertisements and false representations
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and all powders sold
with gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chem
ically pure cream of tartar and bi-car-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be Ia
booed entirely.
Dr. Edison, Commissioner of Health
OF New York, in On article in the
doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages of good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dam
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to oil consumers. "The
Royal" he says, Contains nothing
but cream of tartar aud soda
refined to a chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening. gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they arc
combined in exact compensating
weights, SO that when chemical action
begins between them i'll the dough they
practically disappear, the substance of
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas" Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals i'll place of those Of
a well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warning seem
10 be necessarY.
