the old mans side, and the woman's
face was that of Miss Consdine!
When the appalled, woman, for whose
sole benefit this picture had been paint

almost shouted in her ear in his excite

A few years since large farmhouse
on my country place being vacant,
offered, through one of the settlements,
to take some poor woman with small
children who seemed to need it for a
two-months' rest and fresh air. Among
those sent up was good looking and
soft spoken young woman with three
small children. She had just come
from the hospital, and had scar nearly
all around her neck which was Just

had cut her throat in drunken spree,
nearly severing the juglar vein. She
was taken to the hospital and he was
tried and sent to prison. ''Was he

"Oh. no." she replied. ''He was very

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT FOOD.
How Can tho Danger from Alum Bak-
ing Powders Be Avoided?

How Can tho Danger from Alum Bak-
ing Powders Be Avoided?
The reported cases of poisoning from
the use of alum baking powder have
awakened the public to the serious
danger which menaces the health of
the people of this country in the num-
erous alum powders which are urged
upon consumers.
Among the leading physicians and
scientists there is no question as to the
detrimental effects which alum baking
powders produce upon the system. In
many foreign countries and in many
cities of this country, the authorities
have absolutely prohibited their sale or
the sale of bread containing alum.
Even small doses of alum given to
children. have produced fatal results.
while cases of heartburn, indigestion,
gripping constipation, dyspepsia and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane, at
tributed to the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum phos-
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice of physicians generally.
Congress has recently been investi-
eating the subject of food, and in it's
official report to the senate the COM
mittee says: $50 far as the use of
alum in the manufacture of a food
product, such as baking powder, is con-
cerned, the committee, in view of the
overwhelming mass of evidence antag-
onistic to its use, recomm ends that it's
use in food products and baking pow
ders be prohibited by law"
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health Of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally alum powders may be
known from the price at which they are
sold, or from the fact that they are &C.
companied by gift, or are disposed Of
under some scheme. The alum powder
costs but few cents pound to make,
and is often sold at 90 or 25 cents a
pound; sometimes as low as 10 cents.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or adver-
tised as costing much less than the
well known, high class powders, or
accompanied by present, or disposed
of under any scheme, is of this class,
detrimental to health and to be avoided.
These facts should incline consumers
to turn deaf ear to all opportunities
to buy the inferior powders. The wise
housekeeper will decline in all cases to
take them.

Often the Great Pieces of Ivory Will
Thrill with Pain.
Il told you the other day about the
Sultan of Zanzibar's clocks" said
Robert Crawford yesterday, but there
was anotAerthing that heard of while
in that country which Is not without
interest. The sultan used to take me
round to show me the place and Of
what Its trade consisted. 1t is the
greatest clove-raising country in the
world, and as such conveys comfort
and courage to out-between-t -the-acts

spices and cocoanut rope are also i'm

But In addition to the sale of that
which they raise within their own bor-
ders, their revenues are largely in
creased by the trade In ivory. Zanzi-
bar is the greatest market for South
African ivory, which Is brought there
in large quantities from the interior.
The ivory is placed in large ware.
houses from which it Is either sold at
once or else held therein for better
market The man in charge of these
warehouses was very interesting
character-an expert In ivory. He told
me many curious things about it, and
among others propounded the following
theory as an explanation of why ele-
plants go mad and occasionally run
amuck. In the warehouse were a pair
of magnificent tusks, measuring fully
fourteen feet from tip to tip, which in
life must have been carried by a veri-
table GOliah among elephants. The
expert, in showing me those tusks,
pointed out the fact that while one was
complete and flawless, the other was
broken off at the point and showed
deep scratches and abrasions through
out it's length. Now said he, If YOU
will look near the base you will find Il
hole made by decay that had struck in
to the nerves and given that elephant
toothache, and think what tooth
ache of toothaches a fourteen-foot
tooth must have held. In his effort to
relieve this pain the elephant rubbed
his tuSk against rocks and trees and
drove it into the earth, which mutil.
ated 1t In the manner you see here. I
have frequently come across places
where an elephant has ripped up great
spaces in the forest and torn down the
trees, and am positive that toothache
was the cause of this frenzy. An ele-
phant in circus going suddenly mad
and killing his keeper is not an uncom-
mon thing, but I'll wager that in nine
cases out of ten If they would properly
investigate the matter they would find
that the brute's sudden frenzy sprung
from so ordinary cause as common,
everyday toothache.'"
