The grocer sends the new brand of
baking powder simply because it costs
him so much less and he can make moro
profit by selling it than he can on the
Royal. the Royal is made from the very
finest materials and costs much more
than any other brand, which accounts for
its superiority, although it is sold to con-
sumers at the same price.

The little province of Alsace has had
hard time in many respects since it
was conquered by the Germans, says
tl.c Youths Companion. Every pos
siblc prccaution is taken to guard
against any demonstration of the
French national spirit, and though the
children are allowed to learn the Ian
grcge of their ancestors they are not
allowed to be taught il by French
governesses. The following story
shows the extent to which the govern
ment formerly carried its practice of
watching the people: A few years ago
n little girl was seen playing with q
doll which was dressed in red, white
ond blue. The suspicious of the Off
cials were aroused. for it certainly was
dreadful to see the power of the Ger
man empire so badly threatened. The
child was tracked to its home. and
there the officer found that the doll
was present.

who had given IL to the child and OBJ

himself behind some shrubbery the

strange scene being enacted before
him. The strangers hands were folded
across his breast and the electric
light revealed tear-staincd face, up
turned as II pleading for some favor
from the bronze form of the great man
that lowered above him. His words
were muttered in meek voice and
were unintelligible to the ears of the
astonishcd guard. After remaining
on his knees for few moments the
man arose and started toward the boat
houses. Hold on there" shouted the
guard, az he rushed out of the shrub
berry and grabbed the meek-looking
stranger.
