PURE FOOD LAWS.


The rigid application OF the pure
food law in the United States has ac-
complished n vast amount OF good.
and Congress is given great credit for
its enactment. There may be some
difference OF opinion regarding the use
Of benzoate OF soda and Of the prac-
tice OF bleaching -four by the Alsop
process. but no such difference OF
opinion exists regarding the wisdom
and necessity OF tfs law itself
Other countries have pure food laws
and they are vigorously enforced. The
German laws are especially drastic.
and offenders are severely punished.

FOUR CHILDREN At PRAYER
Peculiar Petitions to tho Throne Of
Grace Made Without intentional
lrreverence.

The late Bishop Foss at a dinner At
his Arch street residence in Philadel-
phia. talked in an interesting way one
evening of children's prayers.
THAT a study of evil-in novels or
plays-teaches W to avoid evil" he
said. rs a very doubtful theory. A
Bala mother told her little boy one day
Of the children OF Israel and their wor.
ship OF the golden calf, and the next
day she found the urchin In the stable
praying to his pony.
"A little girl was hidden to return
thanks In her prayers for the healthy
birth OF baby brother. She did so.
concluding the prayer reproachfully
With: But. Lord. we needed a motor
car far more
"A boy Of seven showed a spirit va
might all emulate when. in the midst
OF storm, he prayed: Please. God.
don't hurt me! I'm only q very. very
little boy
Another boy. as he rose from his
knees at his bedside. was reminded
that he hadn't prayed for grandma's
safety
What. he cried. Has she got one
too? And yet you say little boys
cant manage them!'"-Los Aneeles
