SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT
To Suppress Fraudulent Advertisements
ofWorld's Fair Awards?

Letters from both the Chief OF
Awards ION Agricultural at the Chicago
Worlds Fair, Mr.. J. S. Browning, ana
the Judge of Awards on Baking Pow
ders. expose the falsity of the claim
made in behalf of a Chicago baking
powder that it received the hlghest
award for leavening power, keeping
qualities, purity and general excel
lence.
The Judge of Awards says that this
claim is false, that no such award was
given to that baking powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter already
published also shows that there was
no award given to the Chicago com
pany for the best baking powder.
It now appears further that the an
alyses of the powders exhibited showed
baking powder made in New YORK
altogether the superior Of the Chicago
powder in both purity and strength.
The Government has prohibited the
use for advertising purposes OF thu
medals awarded by the Fair. 1t woult
be a great protection to the public
the Government would ais, prohlbl
the publication of false claims such a
those that have been exposed III rela
ton to such awards.
The only official competitive test O
national character, from which con
sumers can obtain the actual facts as t
the relative values of all the princlpa
brands of baking powder of the cour
try, is that made by the Asrlculturs
Department at Washington D. T.
SO happens that this was conducted D
the same eminent chemist who acted
Judge of Awards at the Chicago %
lumbar Fair. AS has already bee
published, at this examination IL
Royal Baking Powder was found to
the superior powder and highest
leavening strength.

CARE OF THE BODY IN SUMMER.

Every twenty-four hours the human
body loses no small amount of heat by
rodiation from the surface during per-
sn;ration. But, contrary to what
NIGHT seem probable at first thought,
tb;s loss is oftener advantageous than
otherwise.
In this way an escape pipe, SO to
sneak, is provided for the human me-
cbanism; and just as the escape pipe
Of a steam engine is self-regulating,
50 fortunately, the radiation of heat
from the surface of the body is under
control of the nervous system.
When the fact is made apparent to
the nerve centres that the temperature
of the body is getting too high, notice
is Immediately sent along the nerves
70 open wider the blood vessels at the
surface of the body; with the result
that the blood flows nearer the surface,
fine sweat glands are stimulated to in
creased action, more water is excreted
nv them, and with the water goes off
the heat.
Since it is by this means largely that
the superf1uous heat of the body in
health as in disease is got rid of, it is
clearly very important, especially at
this time of the year, that the pores of
the skin should never be allowed to be-
come clogged.
With the increased amount of dust
in the atmosphere, and it's natural
propensity for adhering to the perspir-
ing body, the daily bath becomes more
of necessity during the summer
months than at any other time of the
year. One should take great care,
however, that the bodily temperture is
reduced as nearly as possibly to normal
before the bath is taken. II the tenn
perature is somewhat high, and the
body perspiring freely, the danger OF
taking cold will be increased by reason
of the sudden congestion OF the blood IL
the dilated vessels at the surface OF the
body.
Much of the advantage to be derived
from sea bathing will be lost, unless
the crusts of salt which form i'll the
pores of the skin on the evaporation
of the water are removed by subse
quent brisk towelling or fresh-wate
sponging. -
Not only is the perspiration an eff
cient means of removing superhuou
heat, but by this same channel go GU
many of the waste products of TIN
body. These waste products are Away
relatively increased in the summe
months, and so it is doubly importan
that during this trying season w
should keep the skin in healthy ant
clearly condition.-Youth's Compan
ion.

A haunted house in these practical and UNI
romantic days is something of rarity, but an
individual haunted with the idea that his all
ment is incurable Is a parsonage frequently
met with. disbelief in the ability Of medicine
to cure is only mild form OF monomania,
although in some cases repeated failures to OBJ
tain relief from many different sources would
almost seem to justify the doubt Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has demonstrated its ability to
overcome dyspepsia constipation, liver and
kidney trouble, malarial complaints and nerv-
ousness and its recorded achievements ia the
curative line ought at least to warrant its trial
by any one troubled with either of the above all
ments, even although his previous efforts to OBJ.
tain remedial aid have been fruitless. Used
with persistence, the Bitters will conquer the
most obstinate cases.

TWO GUIDES TO HAPPINESS.

Here are couple of guides to happi-
ness which some wise person has lately
discovered: 'For fit of passion, take
a walk in the open air; you may then
speak to the wind without hurting any
person, or proclaiming yourself to be a
simpleton. "For fit of idleness,
count the ticking of clock; do this fol-
one hour, and you will be glad to pull
off your coat and go to work like
man.

A PERTINENT PARAGRAPH.

"Our country if right, should be kept
right; if wrong should be put right" is a
political maxim which paraphrased applies
to other conditions Of life, thus: our health
if right, should be kept right; if wrong
should be put right. especially in bodily
ailments, such as pains and aches, which
st. Jacobs Oil promptly cures. Many out of
work should heed to give it chance to cure
and it will give them a chance to go to work
cured. Another adage is che doeth best,
who doeth WELL" Well, of course, you
want to be well from all sorts of aches, and
the best thing to do is to use the great
remedy. He who does so is doing well in
deed.
