Gods of the Jingos, Brass and Gold,
Lords of the World by right Divine,
Under whose baneful sway they hold
Dominion over Mine and Thine"
Such lords as these have made them rotten
They have fOrgotten-they have forgotten.
The niger or the Chinee dies,
The GIadstones and the Pitts depart,
But bigger EnglaEders arise
To teach the world the raiders art.
Such lords as these have made them rotten
They have fOrgOtten-they have forgotten.
They've got the gold, the ships. the men,
And are the masters of tomorrow,
And so mankind shall see again
The days of SOdOm and GOmorrah.
These are the lords that made them rotten
They have forgotten-they have forgotten.
Drunk with lust of power and pelf,
They hold not Man nor God in awe,
But care for naught but only self,
And cent per cent. S their only law.
These are their lords, and they are rotten;
They have fOrgotten-they have forgotten.
Their valiant hearts have put their trust
In Maxim guns and MetfOrd rifles,
TO knock the nigger into dust
And such like incOnsidered trifeS.
For boastful 5rag and foolish fake
The 1mperialist doth take the cake.

Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome Of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome
Why should use cheap, impure, un-
healthful articles of food? There is
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

GUS P0EMS SELECTIONS FROM THE BEST OF ACCEPTED LITERATURE n>

Like the changeful CLEANS Of April. they
followed every tear:
They have passed-like hopes-away, and
their loveliness has fed,
Oh! many a heart is mourning that they
have fallen with the stem:
Yet. oh. 1t is a lovely death TO fade from
earth like them,
And yet the thought is saddening to muse
on such as they.
And feel that all the beautiful are passing
fast away;
That the fair ones whom We love grow to
each loving breast
Like the tendril of the clinging vine, then
perish where they rest.
And We can but think of these, in the soft
and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving Ger us and the
flowers are blossoming:
And We know that Winters coming with his
