iTAlY's POPULATION INCREASING.
Almost the on'y Latin Country In.
Europe That is Growing.

Almost the OnIy Latin Country In,
Europe That is Growing.
Italy is almost the only Latin coun-
try in Europe which shows steady
growth of population. France has for
years been on the decline, but latest
statistics show it is nearly stationary,
the death and birth rates being nearly
equal. The returns of the recent CEN
sus in Italy are now published and
they show a gratifying though not ex-
traordinary growth of population in
the peninsula, despite the large emf
grafton and the hard times which have
prevailed there in late years. In
round numbers the population OF Italy
is now 32,500, 900. That is an increase
of more than 100000 in the last 20
years. That is not a large increase,
but it is, on the whole, satisfactory. 1t
is not, of course, the whole increase OF
the Italian race. In these 20 years
more than 100000 Italians have emf
grated to other lands. The actual
growth of the race has, therefore. been
more than 100000 in 20 years, or
more than l per cent a year.
This does not, however, confirm the
common idea that the Italians are an
exceptionally prolific race. The growth
OF other nations has been proportion
ately more rapid. That OF France has
not been. That of Russia has been ef-
fected by conquest and wholesale an
nexation. That Of the United States
has been due to enormous immigra-
ton, as we'll as to high birth rate.
But willis Italy in the 10Th century in
creased from 16, 900 900 to 80. 500 900. OK
only little more than doubled. Great
Britain grew from 10000, 900 to 41,0O0.-
900 and Germany from "a. 000, 900 to
$4,000. 900. and each Of these countries
suffered as great 8 loss from wars as
Italy and considerably greater loss
through emigration.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON.
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity
OF stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped 1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place OF whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there Is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use
It. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health OF the people is i'm
portant, cannot make chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however. from the fact
that they are sold at from ten TO
twenty cents for pound can. or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass, or piece of crockery. or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der Of established name and charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it Is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

All Good Players Now.

For the next three weeks there wisl
be more good baseball players in the
country than ever happened before.
Practically every player under con-
tract to the American and National
leagues is at work conditioning him
self for the coming championship sea-
son and from the many training
camps come all kinds of stories Of
phenomenal youngsters and wonder
fully rejuvenated veterans. This is
the one time of the year when there
are no poorer players to be found any
where. The young man who is just
breaking in and the old one who is
just hanging on are equally eager to
read the good things the papers have
to say about them. By and by it will
be different

shut out the Philadelphia team with
two hits. Joyce is a good batsman,

Jack Sheridan, former umpire for
the American and National leagues
and known as one of the best in the
business, has signed contract to UNI
pire in the American Baseball League
for next season. With the signing OF
Sheridan the umpire staff OF the Am
erican League is now complete. Con-
nelly, Caruthers and OLaughlin be-
ing the others who will hold the indi-
Gators during the summer.
Sheridan is the last of the umpiring
officials to be signed for the Ameri-
can League. Twice Mr.. Johnson made
extra efforts to sign the old timer but
as many times Sheridan refused to
join himself to a contract on account
Of the salary proposition. The last
time Sheridan and Mr. Johnson con
yersed together in relation to the
former accepting a position with the
league was week ago. 1t was then
expected that Johnson could win Jack

CAUSED A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
a Prohibition Discussion That Almost
0vsrta1os Credulity.


A girl in Maine, who is a church
member, recently ofhciated at the
ceremony of naming her uncle's
yacht, and, being an ardent Prohibi-
ZIONIST, used a bottle of water instead
of bottle OF wine. Curiously enough,
however, the church Of which she was
q member took the view that the bot
tie of wine she didn't use probably
made some weak young man drunk.
whereasit would have harmed nobody
had she used it in the ceremony.
Therefore 1t voted to censure her for
putting temptation in the path of
young man. A delightful touch to
this story, which Is not told as a joke,
though 1t reads like one, is that the
young woman successfully appealed
from the action Of the church on two
srounds-frst, because out of the mil
lions Of bottles of wine in the world
the church had failed to designate the
particular bottle which she might
have used, and, second, the church
had not proved either that the wine
was drunk by young man or that .
young man was drunk by the wine. In
rebuttal she asserted that the wine
was drunk by an old man, who, be-
ing seasoned Prohibitionist. was
therefore able to stand it; and she
challenged the church council to dis
prove her assertion.
