COPPER AND ZINC.
bright Coiors I'm Food Demand
ed by the Public.

Almost everything we eat contains
some chemical that is either intended
to improve its appearance or TO give
il some desired flavor. Vegetables
are frequently 'greened" artifieially
by chemicals. The salts of copper
and zinc, and occasionally aniline
dyes, are used for the purpose. The
public demand a deeper shade Of
color in butter than formerly. A
faint amber tint is the natural shade
of butter. The bright or reddish
yellow color now popular is produced
by aniline dyes.
Spices are probably more often
adulterated than any other form Of
food. 1t is almost impossible to buy
pure spices in the market. They are
usually adulterated with natural
filters, the same substance being
used for all kinds of spices. This
filler is common article of trade,
and is sold in large quantities. cof-
fee is adulterated in a score of ways,
especially ground coffee. The per
son who buys even the whole berry is
not sure Of getting pure coffee. Beans
nodded from a composition made OF
clay, potato starch and condensed
milk are frequently sold without de-
lection.
Jellies, jams and marmalades are
frequently counterfeited. The body of
these limitations usually consists OF
apple pomace, the residue of cider
mills, doctored with glucose, gel
atine, aniline dyes and favored with
chemical essences.

The keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

One day a keeper accident

This suggested the idea that il

then the monkeys have received

cHlLDRENs GUILD OF PLAY.
An Interesting Experiment That Has
Succeeded.

An Interesting Experiment That Has
Succeeded.
The founder of the Childrens Guild
of Play, recently organized in London.
says that it was started las an attempt
to solve the problems of giving the
children of our slums n chance OF u
cleaner life than would seem to bo
their lot by Inheritance" Its pro-
ceedings include not only games. sing
ing and music, but the telling of fairy
tales. Its meetings are held on one
evening i'm each week. and it is gen
orally found that the managers of
board schools are willing to throw
open one or more of their rooms for
these occasions, thus avoiding the eS-
penses OF rent.
The Bermondsey settlement guild is
managed by three worKers-musician
play mistress and story teller-and the
exercises are conducted as follows:
"Our guild evening says Sister
Grace, the founder Of the guild, be

and songs. the three together provid-
ing continual motion for restless limbs.
voices and brains. And before we go
away we kneel together for the beau
tiful closing prayers and benedictiOu.
That is ALL" The guild has 10 pun
iShments save those which follow as
the natural penalties OF broken laws
no rewards save that greatest of all
pleasures, the working for others.
There are no buns or oranges, no cost
ly toys, no magic-lantern shows. no
direct religious teaching; there is not
even the giving away of useful infor-
nation. while the highest prize ever
offered is the privilege OF being allowed
10 go and play before the children's
own parents or before old people in
the worlihouse or infrmary. 1t IS in
tended that the guild shall supplement
the brain training OF the day school,
and IL is considered essential that
every helper should personally know
and thus be able TO cooperate with
the teachers of all her play-hour chill
dren.
"The benefits arising from such co.
operation will not be all with the chill
dren." says the guild nor as regards
teachers and helpers will they be one
sided. Such comradeship is truest So
cialism; such workers truly are pion-
GERS in the march of the coming cen
tury"-The Outlook.

The wind is scattering the leaves.
The clouds rush up the skyi
The vagrant snow flakes find no rest.
But whirl and toss and fly.
And still thought wanders with the wind

And none may bid it stay"
