 The fishermen of New England have shown more alarm over the pro- posed treaty than even the few delud- ed agriculturists who have been de- ceived into raising their voices against lower rates. Mir.

Connecticut Pure Food Tests.

The experience of the dairy and pure food commissioner with havoring ex- tracts is interesting, as several samples of lemon extract contained no oil of lemon, while others contained only a trace. Still others contained glycerine or tumeric. the latter added probably for it's coloring effect while one, con- tainfng, according to the label, 40 per cent. of lemon oil, was f6und to have none at all in it. Even more trouble is experienced with vanilla extract Peppermint extract is made with only a trace of peppermint and extract of orange contains little or no orange oil Canphorated oil contains too little camphor and lime water is found lack ing in lime. Snuff powder is found to carry from 1.05 to 2.81 per cent of cocaine. Lard is adulterated with cot tonseed oil and bay rum has from 10 to 34.95 per cent. of wood alcohol. while one sample of bay rum. bought in New Haven. held 93.9o per cent. of common salt and was artificially colored Castor oil pills contained no castor oil and a bottle of strawberry soda, bought at Savin Rock, contained saccharina and a coal tar dye.

Anti Re esiprocity Arguments.

One of the most insistent arguments ~i the opponents of the Canadian reel procity treaty is that. under the agreement. we shall receive mo con- sessions which are not also accorded to Great Britain while Great Britain is the beneficiary of many concessions not given to us.'' The statement sounds reasonable whe nthe opponent has carefully trimmed the statistics for his owm purposes.

''Pinkey" Is the nickname of the chocolate-colored Chesterfield who pre- sides over the bar in small, unique and out-of-the way liquid refreshment establishment in Washington patron ized by newspaper correspondents, visiting celebrities and government officials. He is great "j'iner." and devotes his one evening of week to his several lodge duties. Being missed on one of these occasions by one of his friends and patrons, who had lugged to his place suit of evening clothes which he thought would fit the Pinkertonian form, on the next evening regretful reference was made to 1t, the suit having been bestowed on another, waiter in a rival hostelry.

LUNCH CHILDREN WILL LIKE
How Midday Meal Should Be Packed to Be Kept Warm and
 Appetizlng.

Mothers living too far from the schoolhouse for the children to como home to lunch will find this a solution of the cold lunch problem: Use a box about 15 inches square, inside measurement; pack a three-inch lay CT of excelsior very solidly in the bot tom, then put tin or agate pail hav- ing very tight cover on this. Pack excelsior solidly around this to the top of the pail. It is very important to have 1t solid, as the pail must be taken out. A cover must be made to fit the box and this, too, covered for three inches or enough to reach the pail with the excelsior, held in place with cheesecloth or other light fab rio tackled securely over it. For the box make a cover of linen or dark canvas. This cover should extend all over the box and hook on side. For the lunch boil in the pail rice, beans, soup, or whatever you may choose that can be boiled. When nearly done, cover closely and put at once in the box; put the cover on the box and 1t Is ready and will be done and hot when the children are ready for it, hours later Of course, if tin pail is used, nothing containing tomatoes of especial convenience to mothers living in the country, where children drive to school.

ECZEMA UNSECURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfgured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched.
 We consulted two doctors at Chi cago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Reme- dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. IA L, Boston.

SAVES MANY FROM BURNING

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Kansas City, Mo.-That the casual ties in a collision between two cars on the Kansas City-Leavenworth cleo tric line at Woleott, Kan, were only three killed and eight injured, was due to the heroism of Roscoe Ayers, an employe.
 Ayers was in the smoking compart- ment of the south-bound car when the two met The north-bound car ploughed it's way almost through the other. As Ayers crawled from the wreckage he noticed coals' from the battered stove rolling down on the splinters already smoking. He kick ed the coals out, and with his bare hands threw the hot pieces of the broken stove into the fog. His hands were burned to the bone, but he saved the wreckage from catching fire and burning the persons impris- oned in the debris.

Art Treasures in Spain.

Spain is considered by art collectors lucrative field and many interest ing antiques are picked up here from time to time. Seville has numerous shops where antiquities are sold and where the old Spanish needlework may be purchased. This section of the country has so recently (com- paratively speaking) been invaded by tourists that art buyers claim to find here many desirable things of which the more frequented countries have long since been almost sold out. Prob ably the old Spanish needlework and the wood carvings are the most char acteristic finds, though the antique Spanish and the lustrous Moorish tiles are also much sought Of course paint ings are eagerly scanned and occa- sionally Murillo school picture comes to sale.

Meant to Be Real Bad.

Two little girls residing in East Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough and Clairie Feldman, who had long envied their boy playmates for their ability to enjoy such badness as is in- herent in boys, resolved to be bad themselves. To this end they shut themselves up in Virginia's room and proceeded to be naughty. In fact, they practiced swearing-just to see what would happen.
 When they were quite sure that none would overhear them each pro- duced slip of paper containing the swear words and fired away.
 "Bulldog:" said Virginia.
 "Cigars!" was Claire's reply.
 But the ceiling didn't drop, and there was no earthquake to swallow them up, and the two resumed their play, a trifle disappointed at the tame termination of their badness.-Cleve- land Leader
