All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a we'll estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, Is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves residue in the
bread, which Is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's function during
process of baking, leaving no atom of
Injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure enormously
used 10 designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder Is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum Is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and In no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der Is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities TO purify the water
before pumping 1t into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder Is better, and very much
cheaper.

Eruption Broke Out In Spots All Over
Body-Cured at Expense Of Only
$1.25-Thanks Cuticura,

"The Cuticura Remedies cured me OF
my skin disease, and am very thank
tul to you. My trouble was eruption
Of the skin, which broke out in spots
all over my body, and caused a con.
tinual itching which nearly drove me
wild at times. I got medicine of a
doctor, but 1t did not cure me. and
when I saw in a paper your ad, l sent
to you for the Cuticura book and
studied my case in it. I then went
to the drug store and bought one cake
Of Cuticura Soap, one box OF Cutlcura
Ointment and one vial OF Cuticura
Pills. From the first application re-
ceived relief. used the first set and
two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and
was completely cured. I had suffered
for two years, and again thank Cuti-
oura for my cure. Claude N. John.

WAS AN AUTOCRAT.
COUNTRY DOCTOR RULED WITH
ROD OF IRON.
Disobedience to His Orders Met with
Sharp and Decisive Action
Had Curative Methods All
His Own.

A party of men were discussing the
passing of the old-time country doc.
tor before the advance OF modern SCI
ence, and one of them told some sto-
ries of practitioner of this type who
was the terror Of his boyhood days.
He was curious old autocrat,
with curative methods all his own"
said the gentleman. Il remember
once boy chum Of mine became af.
fiicted with large swelling or abscess
In his throat, which was growing rap
idly and threatening to make breath
ing impossible.
DIR. X was called in. After ex-
amining the patient, he turned to the
mother with the command to bring
him red-hot poker. AS he was never
questioned or dlsobeyed, the woman
fastened to heat one in the kitchen
fire.
when she brought 1t to the sick
room the doctor grabbed 1t and ad-
vanced to the bedside with the CLEAN.
ing point leveled at the boys head.
"'Open your mouth, SIR he com.
manded.
"The boy did open his mouth to
emit terrified shriek-which broke
the abscess and saved his life.
81 have said that DR.. X was never
disobeyed, but / recollect now one oc.
cas!on on which a family attempted
to set his orders at defiance. You see,
he was really more intelligent than
the run of way out country doctors
Of those days. He went to Holland
for year of study when he was
young and brought back some ad
vanced ideas, one of which was the
efficacy of fresh air.
You know how country people
close the windows of sick room
tight. On the occasion in question the
patient was down with fever Enter
ing the room DR.. X raised both win.
dows, ordering that they be left so.
THE women who were nursing
made no objection at the time, but
no sooner had the doctor departed
than they hastened to close the win
dows. Some distance away DR.. x
happened to look around and beheld
what they had done.
HE turned his horse, drove back to
the house, entered the front door,
neither knocking nor ringing, mounted
the stairs, walked into the sick room,
lifted the thick knobbed cane which
he always carried, and deliberately
smashed one pane OF glass after an.
other, until all were demolished.
Then, without word or so much as
look to right or left, he strode from
the room and drove away.

POPE SELLS TITLES TO SOCIALLY
AMBITIOUS FAMILIES
OF FRANCE.

PARIS, Nov. ia writer, who is as
intelligent as he is well informed, NJ.
Jean de Bonpeford. has published a
book in which he has drawn up a list
of all the titles of the nobility granted
by the Pope to French people. These
titles number about two thousand.
They belong mostly to somewhat par
venu families. who are particularly
anxious 10 appear in the society pa
pers.
The Papai nobility Is not got by ser.
vices rendered in the Catholic church.
1t Is simply an i,l.disguised matter Of
money. Al Rome titles are sold openly
and there is hardly any trouble taken
to render an explanation Of the fact
The prices are graduated, When they
are capable of transmission TO descend.
ants this Is indicated in so many words
In the letters patent and in this case
the sum to be paid is double what 1t
costs to buy title not descending to
the children one has or may have.

He begged the maiden for kiss.
But ClarIce shook her head bit;
He vowed twould be ecstntic bliss:
She said she wouldn't think Of 1t!
He pleaded like true born knight
There nothing was in love amiss!
She argued 1t would not be right
To give full grown man kiss
Her saucy face showed grave alarms,
Her cherry lips were set with fright
But Willie took her in his arms.
And-what he did was done just right!
She did not scream or make scene.
But blushed at learning Cupld's lore:
And snug In WIllle's supple arms,
She pursed her pretty lips for more!

Depends, along the human way,

1t is to be fashionable to have the lines of
the figure more clearly defined and the high
bust and small waist fashionable years ago
are apparently to be fashionable once
again In the meantime the fashions of
that order are much modified, and while
even the jackets fit more closely there is
not the strained. exaggeratedly tight ap-

over a tight-ftting lining and trimmed
with broad bands Of cloth outlined with a
narrow edge of velvet: this gives the
striped eject that is considered so smart,
Sharply outlines the figure, and the cloth
belt and bands of the same material as the
skirt are very charming With this style of
waist the close-fitting jacket shows to good
advantage, and even If it has the straight
fronts they are extremely narrow and do

figure or coat.
