A PAINFUL CONTROVERSY.

The burning question, regarding the
physical structure and conditions OF
the insides OF Mother Earth. which DR.
Serene Bishop and "Cacoethes Scrib-
endi" are discussing Is already as hot
as lava itself. "Cacoethes ScribendP'
in his published correspondence says
the naked question Is, is the lava OF
the earth's interior saturated with
condensed gases under pressure in
liquid or solid FORM" DIR. Bishop, as
usual, objects to the nudity" of the
question, but in the interests Of science
will, for the occasion, waive any objec-
tons on that score. The simple range
of the discussion, and the ease with
which child may understand II is
apparent, when one of the disputants,
speaking Of only preliminary ques-
ton states positively that under GER
tain circumstances the resultant
liquid lin the Earth's bowels) is rep

course defiantly asks his opponent

combination and one feels like fleeing

New York had made contracts with
nine-tenths of the grocers of thu

their sugar trade and ruin the inae-

President Jordan Is certainly correct,
when he states that there can be no
expansion in the Philippines. in the
sense of a permanent settlement of
Americans there. The americans en-
clude the Chinese from the Republic,
because they are afraid of them. their
labor. their thrift. their economy, their
intelligence. SO also they fear the
japanese. In the Philippines the
Chinese are already there, and their
immigration will never be limited by
any Federal law. They will dominate
there in trade, just as they dominate
In British Hongkong, and in British
Singapore, and cut out the British
merchants on all sides.
What Great Britain has done in her
common sense, the United States will
repeat, in the Philippines. establish
general law and order, stop revo,u-
tons, and let the people work out their
own salvation. This will be quite
enough. 1t is not the dead line
which will prevent general American
colonization, in The tropics, but the
want Of sufficient profit. Hawaii has
been wide open to the Americans and
Europeans for seventy years. with the
result that only 1875 pure Americans
lived here in 1890.
II the mission of the United States
is to colonize the Philippines it will
fail, because the average American will
not take up the hoe. II the mission OF
the United States is to repeat British
Imperialism in the tropics that is an
other affair. President Jordan believes
that American democracy cannot gov
ern colonies with wisdom. Probably
Il cannot. but much valuable exper-
fence will be obtained by the sacrifice
Of some thousands of lives, and the en-
penditure Of some millions Of dollars in
wars with weaker nations. The nation
will be the wiser for it.

chooses. thrive in the tropics. lie
carries his own dead line and can
draw Il where he pleases.

But the white man has never serious
~ undertaken TO colonize the tropics.
His expansion, heretofore. Is in the
temperate belt. His conquest Of the
opics has not begun, excepting In
Queensland and in parts Of South
Africa. Even in Hawaii. substantially
under the control of Americans. there
has been no attempt made to COLOMBO
Americans, but most energetic at
tempts to colonize Asiatics. Even the
colonization of Portuguese was arrest
ed in favor OF the Asiatics. The move
ments of the white man toward the
tropics, have been, naturally enough.
governed by the question OF profits, and
not civilization. The temperate zones
give men, today, better civilization,
and better homes than can he had in
the tropics. The United States Will
accommodate four hundred millions
more of people. Australia will take
the Englishmen without limit. At the
same time the hope of riches, always
delusive, and the climate will push the
white man gradually into the tropics.
But the white man in no place. either
in New England or the West, or in
Hawaii or in Australia will do manual
labor SO long as he can find an in
ferior race to do 1t for him. The sons
Of the Puritans leave manual labor on
the New England farm at the first
opportunity. Only when education,
and the experimental stations have
made the farm what 1t should be, and
some day will be, will be return To It.
Nor, will the American farmer till the
soil in the tropics, II he can help II.
When he is driven to the wall, he will
take up the hoe.

is 1t Malaria or AIum.


Languor. loss of appetite, indigestion and
often feVerishness are the common symp-
toms OF a physiological condition termed
malaria" All these symptoms may be and
frequently are the effect of the use of alum
baking powders in food making. There ts
no question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs dises-
ton, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and
devttalizes the blood. All this has heen
made clear, thanks to physicians. boards of
health and food commissions So sshighlv
injurious TO the health of the community,
does the eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DIR. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he saws their
sale should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances 1t is worth the
while OF every housewife to em.oloy the
very little care that is necessary to keep so
dangerous an element from the food of her
family.
4 pure cream of tartar baking powder
which is the only kind that should be used,
ought to cost about As cents to so cents a
pound. Therefore, If you are paying much
less, something Is wrong; If you are paying
20 cents or less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.
