DETROIT, Nov. 1.-The influential
company, limited, (the national screen
door and screen window trust), formed
about year ago in Detroit, has closed
up It's business here. E. M. Kemp, for
the board Of directors, gave out the
following statement:
"After a years experience as com.
bine we decided to quit rather than
build up further competition. On ao-
count of outside firms who have created
a prejudice against us, we thought it
best to dissolve at once. Everything
has been harmonious among the firms
interested in the trust. The combine

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 we use cheap, impure, un-
healthful articles of food? There is no
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 onlv
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

MANY ANNIVERSARIES.
September Has Been Big with Fate for
the People of Malta.


The month of September is full OF
anniversaries of great interest to the
people of Malta. On Sept. 8, 1866, the
great siege of Malta,was raised, when,
the Turks being completely repulsed,
Europe was saved from the common
enemy. The third or fourth Sunday
of the month is always made fete
in honor of Roger Of Normandy, who
liberated the islanders from the Sar-
,carens in 1890. History and the exig-
encies of an isolated position have ac-
customed Malta to- invasion. OF all
the enemies that have overrun the is
land time after time one horde only
was dismissed once never to return.
1t was just, ten years, ago on the 4th
Of this month that the garrison sur
rendered to the British after the IA
nous blockade that lasted two years.
Like Ireland, Malta has no vipers, and
like the green isle, the flower of the
world, as the Maltese call their home,
owes its immunity to its patron saint.
Malta is the island of st. Paul. The
inhabitants delight in pointing out the
spot where the saint landed, the grot-
to where he was imprisoned and the
exact place where, shaking the viper
from his hand into the fire he took
mo- hurt. He then cursed all venom
Gus animals out of the land.

Useful "CoUernmenf by In
Junction."

A permanent Injunction has been
granted by a local judge in Cleveland
against the execution by that city of
a contract recently made by order OF
the council for the construction of
new police signal system. The judge
granted the injunction because evil
dence given in a recent investigation
tends strongly to show that the coun-
Gil was influenced by money to award
the contract. Should this case be APP
pealed, and should 1t be shown to the
satisfaction of the higher court that
the contract was secured by corrupt
methods, doubtless the action of the
lower court will be affirmed, as 1t
should be. There are cases where
government by injunction" is legiti-
mate and proper, and where it is nee
essary for the protection Of the citi-
zens that court should set aside the
fraudulent acts of the representatives
of those citizens.

Lao Industry In Assam is Curious
A report of the assistant director OF

with the lac industry there. Lac oc-

parts of the forests of Assam, as well
as of Burma, but chiefly in parts OF
the Khasi and Caro- hills, and the ex'
port in recent years has averaged 49,
900 maunds, or something over 50C
tons, but in some of the forests, ow.
ing to the ravages Of the KolaazaI
epidemic and depopulation, the pro
duction is declining The production
in Manipur is not sufficient for the
local needs, and quantities of the lac
are sent there from the Kubo valley
of Assam. The lac IS all sent ava,
from Assam in the crude form, OF

made, to some extent. but lac dye Is

ton at ALL but only the juice Of a
tree sent from the Kubo valley. In
Assam the lac is usually collected
twice a year, first in May and June
and then in October and November
The first is mainly used for seed pur-
poses, while the second forms the ex-
port A few days after the collec on
pieces of stick lac containing live in
sects are tied on to the branches of
the trees on which the next crop Is
to be grown. The usual plan is to
place the lac In small bamboo baskets
and tie these on the twigs Of the
trees. The insects soon crawl out, and
spread over the young branches, on
which they promptly begin to feed,
and secrete the resin. This is allowed
to go on for about six months, when
the lac is collected; but If the secre-
ton has been defective or insufficient
the insects remain undisturbed for an
other six months.-London Times.

Ausfroifo'S ConSfifufion.

Though Australia is still British
possession Australian federation
should prove quite as interesting to
the people of this country as to the
people of the British Isles. For II the
latter have the interest of closer Of
fetal connection the former should
have the interest of political parentage
the Australian federal union being the
offspring of the American federal
union.
The House of Representatives in
Australia, which Is chosen like our
own, will have much greater power
than ours. 1t has no such check either
in the executive or in the senate. Inc
real executive will be partisan min
istry of house leaders, so there will
be no vetoes. And though the senate,
which is chosen directly by the peo-
pie, like the house, may take the ini-
tiative with the legislation except IN
the matter of revenue and taxation, 1t
may not even amend tax and revenue
bills. Furthermore, whenever it Is
inclined to be obstructive popular
assault will be made upon 1t under the
constitution. For if it fails to agree
with the House, and the latter in
sists on its own bills, and passes them
up again after three months, a disso-
luton may be forced, and If the SEN
ate proves obstinate again it may be
compelled to vote in joint session,
where the numerical superiority of
the House is pretty sure to gain for
the proposed legislature the bare ma
jority that is required.

a rule, particularly conducive to friend
ship between creditor and debtor, even
