Dear Editor:--I am eight years old.
Some of my little friends say there Is
no Santa Claus. Please tell me the
truth; 10 there Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon.
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
scepticism of skeptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can he which is
not comprehensive by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children's are little.
In this great universe of ours man is
mere insect, an ant, in his intellect,
as compared with the boundless world
about him, as measured by the intel
ligence capable of grasping the whole
truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there Is a Santa
Claus He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and Joy, Alas! how dreary would be
the world If there was no Santa Claus.
1t would be As dreary as If there were
no Virginas. There would be no
child-like faith then no poetry, no ro-
nance, to make tolerable this exist
e1ce. We should have no enjoyment
except in sense and sight. The eter-
nal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Clausl You
might as we'll not believe in FAIRIES
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the chimn ys on Chri' i
mas eve to watch Santa Claus, but il
they did not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would that prove? No
body sees Santa Claus, but that Is nc
sign that there is no Santa Claus
The most real things in he world are
those that neither children nor mer
en- see. Did you ever see fairie
dancing on the lawn? Ofcourse not
but that's no proof they not there
Nobody can conceive or imagine al
the wonders that are unseen and un
seeable.
You may tear apart the baby's rat

man, nor even the united strength o
of all the strongest men that eve

aside that curtain and view and pic

speculation as to what VIII be the next

Both sides are preparing for next

Mr.. Durham and State Senator Nc

and be received in secret by Louis
Napoleon himself. The German was
to secure arms TO the order of Ma

ment was to be made through Swiss

all came to nothing. Mexico claimed

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds OF ingredients used In making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market, WE'D Min
eralAcid or Alum, ~ Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and 20 Cream Of Tartar
made from grapes. It IS important,
from the standpoint Of health, 10
know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind Is used in your
baking powder.
% Mineral-Acid, or Alum. is made
from a kind OF clay This is mixed
with diluted oil OF vitriol and from
this solution product is obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to Csc. a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid. or Phosphate. is the
basis Of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer Of phosphate powder. The U.
S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil Of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
90 Cream OF Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture Of
wine. After the wine is drawn OF the
tartar is scraped from the cask. boil
ed with water, and crystals Of Cream
OF Tartar, white and very pure. sepa-
rate and are collected. It differs in
no respect from the form in which 1t
originally existed in the grape. Cream
OF Tartar, then, while the most expen-
siTe, is the only ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder TO
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question Cream Of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to so cents pound.
Such are the facts. and every one,
careful Of the health Of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 TO 25 cents
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling fl 20 to 80 cents Of
Bone-Acid; and TN from 20 to so
cents Of Cream Of Tar made from
grapes.

PEOPLE FACING STARVATION.
Awful Plight of People in Eastern
Siberia.

ST. Petersburg.-The Russky Slovo
of Moscow prints a dispatch from
Yladivostok which indicates that the
inhabitants of the whole maritime re-
gion of eastern Siberia, including the
island of Sakhalin and Kamchatka
peninsula. are facing starvation on ac-
count of the situation produced by
the war. Word has been brought to
Yladivostok from Okhotsk, eastern ST.
beris. that the fish supply OF Sakhalin
was exhausted last winter. and that
the inhabitants ate their dogs There
is no -four on the island. and the peo-
pie are confronted with death by star
walton. A similar situation exists at
Kamchatka, where the people ara
practically left to their fate. No work
is going on in the Amur district, beg
gars are roaming about everywhere,
and the Orochans, a Siberian tribe,
who live on the shores of the Gulf of
Tartar, are dying of starvation
The dispatch concludes: Should
the war continue six months longer
starvation will be universal in all this
remote region"

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months inVestiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible Of contra
diction, good many people are now
asking why the facts and. figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank.
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's Office, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.
