Read the Label.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredi-
ents of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance
to health and good baking of using a
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and
make sure that the ingredients men,
toned include cream of tartar.
The food law does not force consum-
ers; it merely helps them to protect
themselves. All good housekeepers
want cream of tartar baking powders,
and will not use alum substitutes in
the food, if they know it. AS the in
gradients are printed on the back of
the label, all may know the facts.
Good BAKING powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen; it is
easily obtained at any store; the better
1t is, the more economical it is in cook
ing materials, and the more it con-
serves the health of the family.

There is imminent danger that the

dite the passage Of the measure.
AS means OF settling the differ
ences that exist and securing general
support to a rule which would re-
strict amendments entirely to those
which the ways and means committee
will offer, they propose that the
committee should recommend
changes that would take the coun-
tervailng duty clause on coffee out
of the bill and strike out the tariff
on tea
Recognizing that Brazil is power
les TO suspend her export tax on
coffee because for several years at
least this tax Is indissolubly linked
with her foreign debt. the senate
committee on finance yesterday de-
cided to strike out Of the Payne bill
the countervailing duty proposed.
Members Of the committee said
that If the Payne provision is adopt
ed in effect it will place a duty on
coffee imported from Brazil equal to-
the export tax asserted by that
country and the consumer would be
compelled to pay the difference in
cost. The responsibility OF such a
result could not be shirked, Il was
said, and rongress would have to
answer to the people for this as

duty they will have to make a DEM
onstration.
In all probability shively's cry
of "snakes" over the countervailing
duty proposition is inspired by a
study of this clause and the draw
back provision Of the Payne bill to-
gether. The Payne bill admits
crude petroleum, or the products
of lrude petroleum" free, except
from countries which charge a duty
against American petroleum or the
products of It. In such cases the
same dudes these countries collect
will be collected against their crude
petroleum %or its products.
To all intents and purposes this
means Russia and Mexico, especially
MexiEo. both OF which charge duties
against American petroleum and its
products. The independents want
protection against Mexican crude. In
the drawback clause OF the Payne
bill IL provided, however, that 80
per cent of the duty collected against
goods brought into this country to be
manufactured into articles for export
will be repaid when those articles
are exported, or when an equal
amount Of American material of The
same character is exported.
TO illustrate, II would seem that
the Standard, for Instance, could inn
port any amount Of Mexican crude,
refine it I'm the Southwest and sell
It I'm that market, while collecting
the 90 per cent. drawback on cor
responding quantity Of Pennsylvania
oil shipped from New York. or
American oil produced 100000
barrels are exported and 130OO,0O
million barrels are consumed at
home.
The S,apdard, then, according to
critics of the counteryailing scheme,
can bring in any amount OF Mexico
crude to compete with the crude of
the independents, paying only 1 per
cent. of the Mexican tariff.
On the other hand the clause
"crude petroleum, or It's products
in the oountervailug duty clause,
protect the refined oil and by-pro-
ducts Of the Standard from compe-
tition with Russian and Mexh an re-
fined oils and by-products. The in
dependents do Business chiefly in
crude and This does not help them.
Until the Payne bill proposition
was advanced the drawback could
be collected only when the "identi-
cal articles imported for export
manuiature were exported The
idenGcal articles" provision was
eliminated from The Payne bill. That
clause, retained, would compel the
Standard to export all oil and by
products refined from the Mexi.an
crude imported in order to collect
the drawback

Mid the llnotypes and presses
Sits n minstrel who caresses
Dainty silhouettes OF fancy,
Subtle airs OF necromanCy.
From the silent keys 'e hammers
In the vitals of the din
As the papers headlight cusses
And the foreman fumes and fusses
At the swiftness of divorces
And the slowness of their forces,
Still he weaves his fairy fancies
In the wee small hours of night!
Soft and low. I'm dulcet measures,
Sings the minstrel OF the pleasures,
OF the purling stream that whimples
And the maiden's cheek that dim
pies
At the vortex Of the babel,
He is singing sweet and ioYl
on the morrow he is sleeping
As the waking horde comes sweeping
To the conflict Of the masses
Where the golden goblet passes
And they read what he has fashioned
In the hurry and the din!
Some there are whose hearts are
lightened.
Some whose daily hopes are bright
ened,
Some who lose the blight Of sadness
In his minstrelsy OF gladness--
And the world is touched with
laughter
BY the Minstrel OF the Press!
