Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is well
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that a pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that if the
quantity of alum contained in suf-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful of food, and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

HOME MADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-
PARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu-
lated by noted authority, who claims
that he has found positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, in the following simple prescrip-
ton, if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy
or the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a

Aunt Susan's Heart Went Out to
"Pore Missus Astcr."

Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo-
lis pretty well. Had he not been there
three times in four years-and twice
he had ridden on the elevated. So
when he brought Aunt Susan with
him (on the fourth trip he naturally
assumed the role of guide.
She marveled at everything until
they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that
meal, but all its other marvels seemed
lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filed not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

The Home PeopIe.

Most of us might and ought to find
in our own household much more than
we look for. 1t is necessary for those
who would live happily together that
they should try to show their best to
one another.
They should try to show the best
of their minds. All things should be
in common. Every pleasant pleasant
experience, whether it be OF books or
of life, ought to be shared.
Existence is maintained at much
lower level of happiness than it should
be. simply because those who are
bound by the closest natural ties do
not know how to make each other
happy-grudge the time that should
be given to the arranging of the SOUL

On Wit and Humor.

Man is the only animal that laughs
and weeps, for he is the only animal
that is struck with the difference be-
tween what things are and what they
ought to be. We weep at what
thwarts or exceeds our desires in seri-
Gus matters; we laugh at what only
disappoints our expectations in trifles.
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want of SYM
pathy with that which is unreasonable
and unnecessary, the absurdity of
which provokes our spleen or mirth,
rather than serious reflections on it.

Its up to us, Tilly, to get Mrs. Puff
fington out to the club" said Lilly
briskly.
Mrs. Henrietta Keeney sat in her
electric victoria by the side of the
road, a most detected and unhappy
woman. She was miles from any
where-suspended as it were between
town and the Brightwood Country
club, because she had overlooked the
important item of having her car
charged and the current had been
coaxed to the utmost limit. From a
brisk pace that would land Mrs. Keen
ey at the club before her friend and
rival, Mrs. Puffington, the car had set
tied down to a discouraged jog, then
to spasmodic jerks that almost re-
fused to Surmount a "thank-you-
ma'am," and finally the car stopped
altogether. Mrs. Keeney had been sit
ting there over an hour, trying to de-
wise some way out of her dilemma,
when she heard the honk, honk of a
motor car.
1t was the Googans transporting the
subdued and grateful Mrs burlington.
"Why-if there isn't poor Henrietta
Keeney in troubled" cried Mrs. Puff
fington.
"Oh-is that you Sarah?" asked
Mrs. Keeney. "Well-Tm glad to see
anyone"
(Which isn't much of a compliment
to present company" commented Sar-
ah Pufington patronizingly. 'But
we'll be charmed to give you help

And so the Googan girls acquired

No Sirree-when the Googans rescue
you-they do it right. Call 'em up at
their studio or I'll die in a watery
gravel" And then came another down
pour of Mrs. Puffington's grief. She
stamped her foot at the girl in explain
ing how to reach the Googans-and she
was well splashed for her impatience.
While she was sinking deeper in
to the pond, Mrs. Keeney, her bit
ter rival in motoring craft was get
ting deeper in the affections of Mr..
Ezra Cranksniff.
When, in an incredibly short time,
the Googan girls dashed up to the re-
lief of Mrs. Puffington, they found
her reduced to a weeping Niobe.
She's a pretty big limousine body
to haul out of the puddle" said Lilly.

suggested Tilly. "I'll start up our
car when it's time for the tug of war. "
The Googan girls were clever at
getting people out of predicaments of
this sort, so in short order Mrs. Puff
fington was dividing her thanks be-
tween Heaven and the Googans for re-
storing her to dry land. But it was
not done without a few April showers,

"Well-I don't know but I just as
