Pure Food,

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream Of Tartar s
as pure as Alum-but it is a wei
known fact that baking powder II
which Alum is used instead of Cream d
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 lesi
injurious than the so,Called Cream o
Tartar powders. He says that II the
quantity Of alum contained in a sur

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.

Value of Grooming.

Nothing so aceentuates fading love
illness as carelessness of dress. 1t Is
wonderful what little careful groom
ing will do for a woman. Let her
touch her eyebrows with vaseline to
bring out the luster, let her battle her
lips with aromatic toilet water dust
her wan cheeks with bit of pink pow
der, have her hair dressed in a girlish,
dainty way, and 10! there Is the light
of inspiration and sweetness that is
most delightful and bewitching. There
are good and bad cosmetics, sane and
insane ways Of identifying. Choose
the right road, then go ahead, and you
will be amazed to find how you will
chop off a year of your life every
twelve months, instead of hitching one
ON. Try 1t.

slightest doubt that she intends to be
permanent. The new girl Is taking
command of almost everything and ev-

subjugated her parents, and, having
taken that decisive step, there are
really no obstacles in her path. In
days past women used to gain in force
of will as they advanced in years. and
their life was an exquisite crescendO.
The new girl, on the other hand. has
begun life fortissimo, both fists on the
piano, and so she must beat 1t out, or

A horse or automobile race Is not In the

The spectators share 1t, and they feel
as the balloonlst does that it Is d race
against time and space, with death as a
competitor with a possible chance Of
winning. The balloon racer is unques-
tionably above other racing men. He
goes over course In which ordinarily
no obstacles can be placed, and he usu-

To trade a man for q roll of blan-
kets Is a rather unusual proceeding,
and the trade In which he figured as
the man Is a never to be forgotten
event In the life Of William Jarman,
who Is SO years old and once was King
Dodo" of Puget Sounu Indians. That
was fifty years ago, and Blanket BILL"
as he is called to this day, expects to
reach the century mark in years, says
the Brooklyn Citizen.
Blanket Bill" was a man-o-wars-
man on board a British frigate that
sailed into Puget Sound water a great
many years ago. With a party Of 9TH
err sailors he came ashore to trade with
the Indians The party became sep
arated and with yell the fire-eating
aboriglnes set upon the main body of
the British tars. All reached the boat
but Jarman, who was captured and
taken to the interior by the Indians,
He fully expected to be scalped while
the fagots burned about him, but he
made friends with the chief and soon
found himself elevated to a high posi-
ton among the tribes. Before him ev-
cry one bowed.
After several years Hudson bay trad
ers heard that white man was held IN

British sailor upon the payment Of q

CHANGE BRAND OF TOBACCO.
Smokers Sometimes DO Not Know

Smokers Sometimes DO Not Know
Why They Seek n Novelty.
I'm tobacco used for pipes II Is quite
a usual thing for smokers to change
their brand every two years or So"
said a dealer In such things, though,
on the other hand, there are some men
who never change. This changing Is
In many cases simply habit, but one
which has been acquired in a curious
way.
THE men who make such changes
declare they have simply got tired Of
the old brand, whereas, as a matter of
fact, 1t Is often a case where the
brand has deteriorated In quality. 1t
used to be common thing for some
manufacturers to put out a new brand
of smoking tobacco SO good that II
could not be sold at profit at the price
asked. This speedily doomed the
brand to phenomenal popularity and
then slowly, so slowly that 1t would
not be noticed for long time, the
manufacturer would proceed to get his
money back by using inferior stock in
the brand
Fortunes were made in this way,
and many a man who finally gave up
his favorite brand never knew any
thing except that he had grown tired
Of 1t. The same trick Is played now
adays, and probably always will be,
but 1t is by no means so frequent.
Many men who changed often for this
cause, however, now make 1t point to
change regularly. "-Philadelphia Rec

All washable fabrics should always
undergo a thorough shrinking before
they are cut. This is absolutely nee
essary, as a first laundering would be
likely to reduce the dress of which the
material was not shrunk beforehand to
such dimensions that it would be I'M
fit for further use. To shrink wash
fabrics, they should be immersed in
hot water and hung up to dry with
out wringing them. When the mate
rails are partly dry, they are carefully
pressed under a cloth to prevent their
becoming glossy on one side.

When Love Has Gone.

The wife whose husband has grown
weary Of her has a difficult problem,
says Dorothy Dix, in the Philadelphia
Bulletin. She can not ruthlessly cut
the marriage tie and give the man
his liberty. STILL her best policy also
Is to let her husband have a free rein
and a long rein. Nothing Is to be
gained by tears and reproaches, and
always throwing up to the recreant
spouse his sacred duty.
Doubtless it Is our duty to love the
one to whom we are married and whom
we swore so glibly at the altar always
to love and cherish, but love is not a
matter of duty or voltion, or even OF
determination. Love Is slain of a
thousand things beyond our control-by
growth, for one thing; by man de-
veloping away from his wife; by en-
! forced absence; by simple boredom by
| things that the man cannot help in
his taste and feelings, and that the
woman cannot remedy in herself.
1t is one of the terrible experiences
Of life when two people find them
selves involved in a marriage that Is
nothing but bondage on the mans side,
while the woman still loves, but there
Is no overt act that she can perform
that will bring back the love that is
dead. She can only wait, and so
strange Is the curious bond of we'd
lock, so mystic is the tie, that the very
letters at which the man frets are
still powerful enough to draw him back
almost In spite of himself. The very
fact that a woman Is his wife, whether
he loves her or not, gives her a pres
tige In his eyes, a certain power and
influence over him that no other wo-
man possesses.
So the woman who has the patience
to simply wait for her own to return
to her nearly always gets 1t back in
the end. And sometimes it is worth
waiting and praying for, and sometimes
not But all that she can do Is just to
wait.

Point for the Traveller,

An excellent suggestion Is that made
by a woman to take down the number
Of a railroad ticket when travelling If
1t is lost or the conductor on a certain
division takes it up by mistake there Is
good proof that the ticket was bought.
An incident occurred which proves the
value of the suggestion. The conduc-
tor on one division took up woman's
ticket, and on the next division the
ticket was demanded She explained
the situation and was able to give the
number OF the ticket. The conductor
telegraphed back and verified the
claim, thus sparing the traveller much
trouble and Inconvenience.
