Tired Eyes.

ers who. having spent five hours among
the SHOWS Of the mountains, returned
to their homes after dark A great

place since the night before. Instead of

lights.
It took the travellers a little time to
realize that they were suffering from
Daltonism, or color blindness, superin.
duced by eye fatigue. The intense light
caused by the sun shining upon the
snow had for the time rendered them
unable to Judge Of colors and given rise
to their curious mistake Three hours
elapsed before the eyes regained their
normal condition.
Chevreul explains that the eye can
not gaze long upon q given color with
out tending to become insensible to 1t.
When the eye looks long upon a color,
1t should be rested by the complement
tary color. Thus an eye that has grown
tired with green should be rested by
red. which is green's complementary
color.

Is It Malaria or Alum 4?

Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion and
often feverishness are the common symptoms
of physiological condition termed "mala-
ria" All these symptoms may be and fire.
quently are the effect of the use of alum
baking powders in food making. There is
no question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs diges-
ton, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and
devitaizes 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 commute"
does the eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DIR. Barker, 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 housewife to employ the very
little care that is necessary to keep so danger
Gus 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 cost about 40 to 80 cents pound.
Therefore, if you are paying much less,
something is wrong; if you are paying Is
cents or less per pounds, the powder. is GER
tainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.
