swers Subsequently he was baptized with
water and afterward with fire. thereby
becoming entirely cleansed from earthly
impurity.
During his early manhood he was led
by spirit, according to the Siamese YER
sion, into the wilderness, where he was
subjected to great temptations Suisse
quently he wandered from town to town
throughout India, proclaiming his won
drous doctrines of peace to the people and
performing numerous miracles wherever
he went. 1t is a remarkable fact that,
with the exception of the crucifxion, al
most every prominent incident in the life
of Jesus Christ is to be found narrated
in the traditions of the life of Buddha.
"Buddha was undoubtedly the joy of
India. His prophetic words were messages
of peace and his Inissionswas that of love,
never undertaken before by any of the
worlds great reformers and only surA
passed by Him who proclaimed Peace on
earth, and good will to men.
During his early ministry he began
preaching in Benares. Thence he journey
ed to other cities and villages in the VAL
ley of the Ganges-a prince, yet a home
less mendicant, clothed in tattered gar
ments, begging his daily food at the doors
of the lowly bungalows, and everywhere
proclaiming the principles of a higher
life and commanding his disciples, Go
law to every creature
"Iu a short time the fame of this inn
pressiVe preacher and his marvellous doc
trineS extended to remote sections of In
dia. His zeal, his complete self-reuncia-
ticn, commingled with the intellect, gem
tleness and benignity of his character, his
godlike wisdom, his resistess eloquence
and his manly bearing, together with hts
personal beauty, added a peculiar, force
to the doctrines that he taught, and filed
the hearts of all who beheld him and lis
tened to his matchless utterances.
Immense crowds followed him in his
wand erings, and were delighted to hear
the sweet and soothing words that fell
from his magic lips. Thousands upon thou
sands in every district became his faith
full and loving followers. What Raphael
and Michael Angelo did for art during the
era of the Renaissance; what Savonarola
achieved in his heroic efforts to establish
a Christian commonwealth; what Martin
Luther secured by sundering the icy fet-
ters of ecc, esiastical authority, Buddhai
accomplished for humanity five centuries
before the birth of Christ.
where Buddha died has never been
definitely determined but 1t is an estab-
lished fact that no Oriental student would
deny, that his body was cremated and the
ashes scattered to the winds or cast into.
the Gunga's sacred waters-the modern
fGanges.
According to the Lalita vistara, which
abounds in poetic fict.ons of the most
transcendental character in honor of
Buddha, it Is maintained that his ashes
were scattered by the winds to all parts
of the earth, and will prove to be the,
seed of purity, morality and virtue.
Numerous authorities might be cited
to establish the fact that the bones OF
BudGha do MT exist In Siam or any
where else, and that the paragraph In
question was the conception of some in
genious irnposter, without the slightest
founoation in fact"

after we Were well under way a dark

were playing.

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the use of Arsenic or Alum In al
Articles of Diet,

Prohibits the use of Arsenic or Alum In all
Articles of Diet.
The law enacted 10y the Missouri leg
lslature. copy of which was recently
published in our columns, and which
prohibits the manufacture or sale of
any article intended for food or to be
used in the preparation of food, which
contains alum, arsenic, ammonia, etc.,
places that state in the lead in the mat
ter of sanitary legislation.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years. In
this country, in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio. Kentucky and several
other states, direct legislation in refer
ence to the sale of alum baking pow
ders has also been effected. In several
of these states their sale is prohibited
unless they are branded to show that
they contain alum, and in the District
ofColumbia, under the laws of congress,
the sale of bread containing alum has
been made illegal.
Following are the names of some of
the brands of baking powders sold in
this vicinity which are shown by recent
analysis to contain alum. Housekeep-
ers and grOcers should cut the list out
and keep it for reference:
Baking Powders Containing Alum.

In addition to these, many grocers
sell what they call their own private or
special brands. These powders are put
up for the grocer, and his name put
upon the labels by manufacturers of
alum baking powders. The manufac-
turecs, it is said, find their efforts to
market their goods in this way greatly
aided by the ambition of the grocer to
sell powder with his own name upon
the label, especially as he can make an
abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers,
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing are alum
powders the sale of which would be a
misdemeanor under the law referred to.
1t is quite impossible to give the |
names of all the alum baking powders. |
They are constantly appearing in all |
sorts of DISCUSSES, under different |
names and at all kinds of prices, even |
as low as Eve and ten cents a pound,
They can be avoided, however, by the |
housekeeper who will bear in mind that |
all baking powders sold at Is cents or
less per pound are liable to contain al
um. as pure cream of tartar powders
cannot be produced at anything like
this price.
