bouche' to be presented to a lady.
There is also, it is said, demand for
sugared rose petals, which is being
catered to by some enterprising artists
in sugar. 1t can hardly be pretended
that flowers made into Sweets are of
any medicinal efficacy. though damask
rose leaves have long held a recog-
niZed place in the materia medica.
Whether the violet has any thera-
peutic qualities does not appear,
though the leaves mot the flower
have just now some reputation-out-
side the medical faculty-as a cure
for cancer. The best that can be
hoped for, if flowers are to be eaten
as well as to be seen and smelled, is
that they may in all cases prove to be
innocuous. 1t is nice question
whether the perfume is always a safe
guide.
Perhaps the modern craze is, after
all, only form of luxury. 4 candied
violet or a dish of rose leaves cum
ningly prepared for the tea table could
not possibly enter into the category Of
cheap sweets for the millions, and it
is understood that the sugar trust is
not interested.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Northern Sister Would Like Such
Arrangement; But is Waiting
Move by This Country.

4 letter from Ottawa, Canada,
states that the question of reciprocity
between Canada and the Unite
states is by no means deau, as was
clearly shown by the recent debate on
the Canadian budget in a number of
speeches, which, while they admitted
that the United States did not appear
to care for reciprocity, it would if it
could be brought about on mutually
advantageou terms, oe a good thing
for both sides of the line. Many of
the crown ministers and even Sir Will
frid Laurier himself, the premier, and
described in England as the foremost
statesman in the British Empire, are
favorable to Canadian-Americar re-
ciprocity, if it can be had. Sir
Richard Cartwright, minister of trade
and commerce, said recently that there
could be no better British policy than
TO do everything possible to encourage
good relations with the United States.
Senator Lougheed, the conservative
leader in the Senate, stated that he
thought no higher work could be found
by King Edward than to promote the
good relations of the two peoples, and
bind more closely together the two
Anglo-Saxon nations. He knew no
happier way of Strengthening the bond
between the Anglo-Saxon peoples on
the North American Continent than
for the King and Queen to visit the
shores of North America at the pres
ent time.
If reciprocity is not visibly to the
front to-day it is because public
opinion in Canada reg rds reciprocity
as unattainable and the position Of
the anti-reciprocity men who are for
the moment supreme, as unassailable.
Hence. and for no other reason, re-
ciprocity sentiment is put on the shelf
until called for again, and an ostenta-
tious appearance of Indifference is
manifested in Canada which viii be
stiffiy maintained as long as the
United States government makes no
forward movement that public opinion
in the Dominion can accept as sincere
and based on a spirit of reasonableness
and fair play.
To those who are able to read be-
tween the lines, the announcement of
the finance minister that the changes
to be made in the Canadian tariff,
when revision takes pace next session,
must depend upon such new conditions
as may have occurred, is obviously
meant for the people at Washington
who stand in the way Of reciprocity.
and those in London who have blocked
a mutual preference between the
mother country and Canada. 1t is a
warning and may mean much. or little,
as circumstances or conditions dictate.

vinegar, which when poured into a
large graduate did not nearly reach the
quart mark thereon-in fact was three
inches below it. Raisins, currants and
numerous other articles of food are
apparently put up in pound packages

few of those on the market really con-

DEPARTMENT STORE BARGAINS.
"It is the department stores and
mail order houses said the demon
strator, (which make profit from short
weight cans and understood bottles.
We are seeking to protect the legiti-
mate grocery and the honest Gamer
from men who are willing to make
money by depriving the people of
things they think they are getting.
All that we urge is that an approx
innate weight or measure may be put
upon each one of these packages and
then, if the public chooses to buy
smaller package at a smaller price
it may do so, but the manufacturers
and dealers must not any longer de
ceive the people as to how much they
are buying"
BREAKFAST FOODS A DELUSION.
On the tables where Mr. Mann. ably
but silently assisted by Mr.. Stevens
of Minnesota, acted now as grocery
man, now as druggist, and now as
bartender, there We're a dozen or more
packages of breakfast foods with their
familiar labels. A reference to table
weights and skillful dropping of pack
ages upon a balance scale in front of
him enabled Mr.. Mann to show that
in great many cases the public paid
full price for an abnormal amount of
pasteboard box. In scarce any case
did the prepared food weigh twice as
much as the box, and in many in
stances food and package were in near
ly equal proportion.
Everybody knew, as Mr.. Mann
stated, that % per cent. of all the
coffee used in the United States is sold
as a mixture of Java and Mocha. He
was prepared to show from official
