an EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
SHOULD REACH.

In reference TO the use of alum 5all-
ing powders Prof Schweitzer, of the
State University of Missouri, says:
1.-The deleterious effects of alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, even when used in
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use Of
alum baking powders are thus summed

HOME MADE
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
A DAINTY CATCE-AIL.
It Makes an Attractive Christmas
Present for the Tidy
Housewife.

When attempting to solve the perplex-
ng question of Christmas presents for
Sour friends, among whom you 10
doubt number more than one tidy house
wife, dc not forget the utility and ar
tisticness of the little catch-all, that may
De easily made at nome. and yet become
source of genuine pleasure throughout
the year to the person to whom it Is
given.
There are, as a rule, SO many to be re-
membered at Christmas time, that it is
Impractical to make extravaganza pur-
chases for each, and then, besides, the
little homemade RENE mbrance is often
| much more appreciated, as it represents
more of the giyer than does the present
that is bought readY-made at the store.
1t is for such that this catch-all is sug-
gested, and to make it one needs nothing
more extravagant than three of the or
binary Japanese paper fans, bow of
ribbon, and bit of red silk for lining.
In selecting the fans, be sure that you
get pretty ones, as there is great differ
ence in the artistic qualities Of them.
Tie them firmly together with the bow Of
ribbon and adjust to the proper angle, and
when the silk lining formed into bag
Is in place. it will be found that they

Eggs Not Seed.

A certain corn chandler Of London
had just engaged an assistant who
hailed from little village near Leeds.
This youth was remarkably green"
and apparently it had been impressed
upon him by his friends in the village
that the sharp London people would
try to take rise out of him. A GUS

If we have gained nothing else by
the recent Venezuelan trouble, We
have at least profited from the fact
that il has emphasized the need for
constant and rapid increases in our

Even with all the building that has
been done since Secretary Whitney
gave us our New Navy" it has been
demonstrated that our navy in psnt
of size. at least, would hardly be able
to cope with that Of any European
power
It is outclassed by Germany in ev.
cry particular; and had we become in
volved IN trouble with that country.
we must inevitably have relied upon
The superior generalship Of our naval
Officers and the superior marksman-
ship Of our men, to have given MS any
showing whatever with that one
power,
This Is not strange, in view Of the
fact that Germany OF late years has
been spending dollars -whsre we have
spent cents, in constructing a navy
designed to cope with any world
power Germany now has not only a
navy superior to ours in numbers.

States, be in a position to concentrate
her entire naval strength. az any given
