"Suffer little children TO come unto
Me, for of such Is the kingdom of hea-

These are comforting words of our
dear Lord and Saviour, and yet how we
struggle and chafe when He In His boun-
tiful wisdom and mercy calls one of our
little flock. It does seem hard that God
sends as a little spirit which entwines
its little self around our hearts, and we
learn TO love IL az our very life, and then
in some unguarded moment the Angel
OF Death comes and bears away the
household flower whose perfume has
made fragrant the lives of its fond pa
rents. Grieve not, fond parents, for this
little soul, aud picture to yourselves this
vision: A little babe entering upon the
life immortal with the lighSof heaven
shining down upon the beautiful face
and angels wings tanning the curling
locks as the new born soul takes its
flight towards its celestial home. The
little eyes are open wide in wonder at
the beautiful things, while the soul
thrills with delight at the sound of sweet

UNHEALTHFuL FOOD ARTICLE

A restrictive law against alum baking
powders, such as is enforced in some
Western States, or prohibiting their sale,
as in England, would be a boon to the
people of this State. Physicians say that
the danger from alum baking powders is
greatly augmented of late. Manufacturers
have adopted various tricks to disguise
these powders, not hesitating to guarantee
them as made of cream of tartar, and as
cream of tartar powder, there is danger of
their use, particularly among the people
who can least afford to use unhealthful
food
Housekeepers should be on their guard
against this danger to their food. Alum
powders are well known to be detrimental
to health. Many boards of health have
published the names of the alum powders
in order to warn the public against them.
The very highest authorities condemn
their use.
1t is well known that the so-called
cheap baking powders are made from
alum or the very cheapest materials. To
give them weight some brands are found
to be filed with sixty per cent. of powder
cents per pound to produce, though they
are sold to consumers at from twenty to
thirty cents per pound. The great profit
in them causes their sale to be pushed by
their manufacturers-and by some not
r-scrupulous grocers also, we are sor-
ry to saw

orderly house and should be indicted as
such. 1t appears that the last Grand Jury
had some difference of opinion with the
Court as to the suficiency of the evidence
to convict in cases of this character, and
the failure to find indictments has re-
suited in an increase of the evil. I need
not say to the gentlemen 1 see before me
that it is the province of the court to
decide upon the sufficiency of the evi-
dence, and it is the duty and will be the
privilege of the Grand Jury to take the
advice of the Court upon that subject.
This same man who had the slot ma
chimes had also a large quantity of OBJ
scene and indecent pictures and articles,
and they have been seized, and the evil
dence will be presented to you, and under
the law, Section 50 of the Crimes Act, it
is distinct offense, a misdemeanor to
have in possession these obscene pic
lures. All this evidence will be presented
to you and an indictment should follow.
The deterrent force of vigilant Grand
Jury is very great, and when it is known
that indictments will follow violations of
the law the law will not be violated. 1t
is easy enough to break up Illegal prac-
liCe5. lie pUllce cdH 20 IL IL tney VIII.
These things canot occur in community
very we'll without the police knowing it,
and sometimes | have thought that the
way to strike at the root of the evil was
to call to account those who permitted
it, who are the sworn guardians of the
law in their respective communities.
At the conclusion of the charge the
members of the Grand Jury went to their
room and after brief session adjourned
until Friday next.

ton by assuring the members that success
