Nosiou. celorIpa in Butter.

Professor Wiley OF the Bureau OF
Chemistry at Washington, who is con-
Quoting the adulterated food expert
ments, complains that he is utterly yh-
able to procure for his purpose any I'm
colored butter. He also denounced the
use of the coal tar dyes with which
butter is colored, saying that they
"overburden the Kidneys" This is an
instructive comment on the United
States laws which prohibit the color
ing of artificial butter. even with palm
oil which is perfectly wholesome, but
permit the coloring of genuine butter
with coal tar dyes or anything else.

The Emperor of Japan is the sun OF
all authority. Everything in Dai Nip
pom shines by his light. In the Jap
anese conception of history he is the
living representative of the Gods who
made Everlasting Great Japan.
Whether it were court mobiles of imme-
mortal lineage, heads Of military clans,
medieval governors who governed in
the Mikado's name, or the all-pOwerful
Shotgun Mt Kamakura or Yedo, they
did but shine by borrowed light. Even
the constitution of 1889. which made
government representative and pro-
gressive, was gift in the name Of its
divine ancestors from the Emperor.
The whole theory of administration is
that the Son of Heaven is the source
of nil authority, and that prosperity
to the nation comes from his divine
ancestors through him. The most seri-
Gus questions which Japanese patriots
have to answer. and the most weighty
problems they have to solve, centre in
this-how to reconcile this ancient the
DRY with the claims of civilization and
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Elliot Griftis,

Pie, tbs Great American Dessert, Esps.

Ssby III tNV" 6u6tat0s
"Pie is consumed chiefly by the ma
tive Americans" said Clerk Fortune,
Of Chicago. to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
'.Foreigners eat very little OF it. A
German, for example. might eat three
pies . year. while good Yankee
would consume as many in a week.
The English. the Italians and the
French are small pie eaters. The Eng
fish eat plum pudding and the Italians
like fruit New England and the Mid
die states constitutes the area OF
greatest consumption, but the pie belt
extends far beyond that as pie is ex-
tensively eaten all through the West.
Pie is eaten much more generally in
the North than in the South. Chicago
Is q great pie center. st. Louis is not
so good. Milwaukee also ranks low.
One would not think that there are
means for ascertaining the facts In re-
gard to pie consumption. but | have
gathered statistics on the subject dur
ing the past two years which enables
me to compute with reasonable cor
rectness the consumption of pies in
every state in the Union. Pies are
made in greater varieties than for
merly, and the supplies are brought
from greater distances-in fact. from
all parts of the world. The season oil
lies made from green fruit have been
prolonged and pies are made OF
canned fruit the year round. The
time-honored mince pie has become a
Christmas dessert whose place Is sure
and beyond dispute. There is no ex-
port trade In pies. because in crossing
