GOOD AND HARD.
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking

It is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat
isfy an appetite for, something.
A Mich. woman says: Il had been
using coffee since l was old enough to
have cup of my own at the table,
and from it I have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
my trouble first began in the form
of bilious collie, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for years | suffered in
this way. 1 used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. I had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh OF the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia. :.
For about a year ! lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering,
finally quit it and began to use

tea. No one could be in much more
critical condition than was from
the use of coffee. Some doctors pro-
nounced it cancer, others liberation,
but none gave me any relief. But

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is well 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 a 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 to 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 it 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.

N1th Dakota Solves the AduIteratlon
Problem.

FbQ6iShbs
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, "How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label TELL" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want

Of thousands watched three Government

Before the identity of the launch was

On the question Of m~artyrdom M. JaureS

might permit the Church. to take the posltion
Of martyr.
As one Of the first symptoms Of q religious
agitation which may work through tho u
try there is told o story Of q demonstration
which took place on Sunday last ct Journal,
on the Belgian frontier. There was Q con-
'gress Of ecclesiastical workers there, at
tended by some thirty Bishops and abbots,
under the presidency Of Cardinal Vanu-
tell, papal legste, and the populaoe turned
out IN large numbers. The city was decor
rated; we are told. with q magnifoenoe
which recalled the stories Of the great pa
gsants Of the Middle Ages, the colors Of
France, Belgium and the Church being every
where. Associations Of young Catholics
led by curates marched under tricolors and
white banners bearing the emblem Of the
Sacred Heart and inscribed: 'Sacre Occur

At the closing session the ArchbiShop

were closing unanimously about the Pope
and uniting themselves with the episcopal
body Of the entire world and that the Bishops
Of France were ready, under the Pope's
lead to face and submit to all prosecutions.
1t may be seen from this fractional re-
duction Of the volumes Of news, views and
comment coming forth In Paris daily that
no limit may be set to possible happening s

at the present time the probabilities-from
