A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,

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 a we'll
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in 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-
f1cient 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.

Adabelle was destined to be "ac.
complished" from cradlehood, because
she had selected the type of mamma
and papa who expect child to do
everything they couldn't, and to enjoy
all the advantages they had missed.
A strong musical tendency was no
ticed when Adabelle was six weeks
Old, for she stopped crying one day
when some one played "Suwanee Riv-
err with the right forefinger, and at
six months she would say "oo-oo," and
jiggle if she heard tune At one
year of age she settled her future by
playing on the piano for grandma. "
OF course at the earliest age posi-.

school and was likened more than
once to a Irregular little fairy" Her
mother dressed her cute and she was

ceived enough attention and flattery
to turn the head of a girl who had
been out several seasons. She was
featured in fancy dances and became
acquainted with lots of nice boys.
A new accomplishment was started

vanced-but Adabelle advanced even
faster than Fathers salary. A girl in
Adabelle's position does need so
much!
When the piano chair became as

Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo-

three times in four years-and twice
he had ridden on the elevated. So
when he brought Aunt Susan with
him ION the fourth trip he naturally
assumed the role of guide.

they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that
meal, but all it's other marvels seemed
lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filled not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

How German Emperor Keeps in Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in
everything that goes on in the world
is we'll known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
we'll as that of the INTERIOR has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

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
disappofnts our expectations in trifles.
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want of SYM
