in every conceivable manner, as their custom
was the Spanards would not come cut and the
British could not 90 in. Therefore things kept

the monotony Of a long blockade, was all thr

To take place during the early afternoon oil

might tempt the other linc-of-batte ships to try
conclusions with the British in the hope Of re-
capturing her.
All these arguments appealed strongly to cap
tain Herley and the scheme sketched by lrnidG
seemed new and promising.

Is IT Malaria or Aunt

Lansuor, loss Of appetite, indiges-
ton and often feverishness are the
common symptoms of a physiological
condition termed malaria" All
these symptoms may be and frequently
are the effect of the use of alum ba-
king powders in food making. There
is no question about the poisonous
effect of alum upon the system. II
obstructs digestion, prostrates the
nerves, ~cCagulates and divitalizes 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 cOmmu-
nifty does the eminent head of the
University of Pennsylvania, DR.. Bar
ker. consider the alum baking pow
ders, that he says their sale should
be prohibited by law
Und. r these circumstancesit it is worth
the while of every housewife to en-
pioy the very little care that is neces-
sally t. keep 50 dangerous an element

y pure ream of tartar baking pow
der WI ca is the only kind that should
be used. ought to cost about forty-five
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, if
you are paying much less, something
is wrong: if you are paying twenty
five cents OF less e pound. the pow
der is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.
