Is 1t Malaria or Alum?
J. 0. MCINTOSH

Languor, loss Of appetite, in
digestion and often feverishness
are the common symptoms of a
physiological condition termed
s'malaria." All these symptoms
NAV be and frequently are the
effect of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There
is no question about the poison
Gus effect of alum upon the sys-
TEN. It obstructs digestion,
prostrates the nerves, Coagu-
lates and devitaliZes the blood.
All this has been made clear,
thanks to physicians, boards Of
health, and food commissions.
So "highly injurious to the
health of the community does
the eminent head of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, Dr. BARK
er. consider the alum baking
powders, that he says their sale
should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances it
is worth the while of every house
wife to employ the very little
care that is necessary to keep
so dangerous an element from
the food of her family.
A pure cream Of tartar baking
powder, which is the only kind
that should be used, ought to
costabout forty five to fiftycents
a pound. Therefore, if you are
paving twenty-five cents or less
per pound, the powder is Ger
+.,i7lv made from al37G7.

The Denver Republican says:
Just so long as the people hold
certain principles dearer than

wars. The average human be-

Of his revenge in apologies. He
wants to do something to the
other fellow. To inffict some
injury to get even. That which
applies to individuals will apply
to nations. 1t may be that the

If Mr.. Carnegie proposes to

A deficit of $115, 100000 in t

A deficit of $115, 900, 900 in the
Federal treasury for the year
ending June 80 is what is in store
for the good people of the Uni
ted States as one of the results
of the Dingley tariff and the
imperialistiC picnic in which we
have indulged in in Asia, says
the Pittsburg Post. The tariff
cut the revenues and made bOr-
rowing and heavily increased
taxation a necessity. The i'm
perial craze started us on a ca
reer of wasteful extravaganza
that there is no stemming. It
appears not only that there is to
be a huge deficit this year, but
also that the imperialists are
forced to admit that the treas
ury is still running behind, al
though the actual fighting with
Spain ceased some nine months
ago. They are forced to admit
that they look for a deficit of
something like S5,0O0,000 next
month. This is interesting and
suggestive in view of the fact
that they were boasting three or
four months ago that the reve-
nues had caught up with the ex-
penditures. 1t suggests that
they are forgetting all about
their promise to begin renting
war taxes even before the close
of the last session of congress.

There are two parties of sur

point in Utah across Southern
Nevada and into California for
the extention of a railroad.
What point they aim to strike
here is not known. whether
across to the head of Kern river
through Walkers pass making
connection with the Southern
Pacific near Bakersfield, or at
Mojave to the south of the

Barstow, or some point west.
The first party is not far from

During the intervention of the

buried the church jewels, only
himself and the sexton knowing
their whereabouts, says the
Mexican Herald. The church
fell in ruins and the priest de-
parted. The other day the old
sexton got drunk and let out the
whole story to a man who threat
ehed him with death unless he
told him the wherea bouts of the
treasure, but the sexton was OBJ
durate and the next day took
his story to the mayor of the
place and the treasure, valued

fifteen soldiers, mounted on what
would be considered scrub ponies
in the United States, but the best
to be had in Japan, and rode in
a SLOW trOt about $50 yards in
advance of the open carriage
containing the emperor and two
high dignitaries. The next car
Tiage was occupied by the royal
prince and his escort, followed
by ambassadors, ministers and
consuls representing their differ
ent governments at the court of
his majesty, including Hungary,
Russia, England, Portugal, Ger

China and Sweden. all in pomp
and splendor commensuratewith
the dignity of their official po-
sitions.
What struck US as being re
markab bly, different from Ameri-
can customs on such occasions,
was the fact that not a cheer
went up from that vast popu-
lace, nor was there any music to
be heard. Imagine one of our
leading and popular men being
given a reception in a city of
200, 900 inha bitants, say VIM. J.
Bryan for example. The earth
would be made to tremble and
vibrate with the shouts of the
people and the music of bands
But here the people stood and
seen their sovereign, whom they
almost idOlize, pass in review,
with the quietness and order we
would observe at a funeral pro-
cession. They appeared not to
have had the slightest idea of
his personal appearance or even
of his stature, for they remark
ed surprisedly of his large size.
We were hauled about in a two
wheeled cart drawn by one of
the natives through the princi-
pie parts of the city, this being
the only conveyance accessible
to foreigners, as horses are very
scarce and the few that are here,
are owned by the wealthy ma
tiyes. These carts are called
iiurickshas, and the jiuricksha
men charge ten cents an hour
for their use. There is just
room for one person to sit COM
fortably in one, the main frame
of the vehicle being in size and
shape about the same as our arm
chairs. These men are Injured
to their work and will take and
keep a good trot Tor two or three
hours at a time without showing
any distress.

LETTER FROM JAPAN.
The Government and People

KOBE. Nav 70, 1899.

Yokohama, which was our first
landing place after leaving Vic
tOria, British Columbia, on the
8th. We were fortunate in ar
irving at this date, as we we're
just in time to witness an event
which has never occurred here
tofore in the history of Japan;
at least we have joint native
and foreign authority for it, and
this was the appearance of Mujo
Hits, the japanese mikado or
emperor, in a public procession
In an open carriage. The pred
ecessors of the present emperor
always lived in strict seclusion,
seldom, if ever, leaving the I'm
perial Palace, and when they
did SO it was under every pre-
caution of secrecy. This was
on account of the fear of assas-
slnation or any indignities for
there are neither nihilists nor
anarchists in Japan but be-
cause it was believed his maies-
ty was too exalted, sublime and
sacred for the common herd to
even look upon.
It has taken years of example
and persuasion by the different
foreign ambassadors, ministers
and Consuls, to bring about the
state of affairs now existing,
but Japan is gradually develop
ing from an absolute monarchial
into a parliamentary govern
ment. And now we witness what
must be considered great step
in the Inauguration of a more
democratic government, when
the emperor voluntarily appears
in public away from his capital
and permits two hundred thous-
and of his subjects to feast their
eyes on his sacred person.
The procession started about
II a. M, on the 9th, and SO great
was the throng on the streets
through which the procession
was to pass, that the police were
busy at 9 o'clock clearing them
of the populace who had gath
cred to witness the first state
procession in Japan and to get
a glimpse at their ruler.
Great taste had been display
ed in elaborate and profuse dec
orations. Magnificent floral and
evergreen archways had been
erected at intervals along the
streets, and no pains or expense
had been spared to make every
corner a conspicuous object graf
flying to the eye
Flags of all the leading ma
tions were profusely displayed
along the line of march, but the
japanese, British and the Stars
and Stripes predominated, and
were displayed with more gran
deur, being strikingly Of larger
size than the others and always
floating higher.
AS early as 10 o'clock the
streets swarmed with people to
impassibility. Ropes had to be
at the cross streets at
their entrance to the line OF
march. A deep rumbling muir
mur of impatienCe arose from
this great mass of humanity as
it stood waiting, but this was
hushed to whisperless silence
as of the tomb, when the mount
ed advance guard came in sight,
for now their yearning eyes were
to be grati1ed by the sight Of
their august and humane ruler.

to be learned from our course in the sub.
