kind of incident upon which Dom
Paul's reputation as Solomon rests:

farm, which they were anxious to d.
vide. But the one did not trust the
other and in the end they went to Pre-
toria to ask the president for his ad-
vice, which was that the elder should
make the division and the younger
should have the right Of selection.
Their fellow burghers remarked:
There Is no question of 1.-THE old
presidents equal Is dead"

Prohibiting Alum IN Bread.

The cheap alum baking powders which
are being peddled about the country and
sold at Is and 80 cents pound have been
placed under the ban bv Congress In the
District of Columbia. Their use in making
bread has been made misdemeanor, pun
ishable by heavy penalties. The absence
of any restrictive law against the sale or
use of the dangerous alum powders Ia this
State devolves upon housekeepers extra
care to keep them from their kitchens.
The United States Government, after
testing the baking powders of the country,
placed the Royal at the head of all for
purity and strength. The surest way.
therefore, to avoid the danger from alum is
for the housekeeper to make sure that che
uses only the Royal powder.
