STORY OF VANISHED PREJUDICE

In the February Woman's Home
Companion. Christine Terhune Her
rick writes an article entitled What
I have Learned About Canned Foods"
She says that some years ago she
had a real prejudice against canned
foods, and she calls her article the
story of a vanished prejudice" Com
menting on the Improvement in can
ned goods, she says in part:
After all the agitation for pure
food. after Doctor Wiley's utterances
on the subject and the attention which
has been called to the use and abuse
OF preservatives. ii is necessary to
say that the vegetables and fruits now
put on the market are free from
willing TO accord the Gamer conscfen-
tious scruples which would withhold
him from the use of dangerous in
gradients in his products. the law
stands ready to protect the consum-
er By demanding that If the can OF
| food contains anything in the line OF
preservatives, this must be printed
ing that the only means used In
| preparing the food so that it will keep
has been the heat to which it was
| subjected after 1t went into the can
| The elimination of chemicals of all
sorts has had the commendable ef-

Merit system by taking assistant
postmasters from the
service and making them appointive.
IT is reported Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson is also opposed to the move and
has 50 notified members of congress.
With such powerful opposition as
this there seems little likelihood the as
sistant postmasters will be disturbed.
Nor should they be taken from the
civil service. II is true most of the
assistants are republicans around
whom the civil service cloak was
thrown by President Taft after they
had been appointed. But even at that
there is no ground for believing the
country would gain anything by GUST
ing those employees and replacing
them with democrats. Assistant post
masters are not executive officials.
They are workers and they should
hold Office under the merit system.

COLONY HAD MS DARK DAYS


The irst settlement in Sierra Leons

1856. At that period London swarmea.

1894 the settlement was again trans.
ferred to Freetown. now the capital 4,
the colony and the greatest seaport

early days the government Of the idle

And In this connection we would
also suggest that the board Of trus-

A farmer in the parish of Maitland,
Nova Scotia, recently came across a
skunk's nest that had three tiny young
ones in it. The little skunks were
only a day or two old, and instead Of
ruthlessly destroying them, the farmer
picked them up and carried them
home.
The family cat had been raising a liz.
ter of four kittens, three Of whom the
farmer had drowned, and after a few
suspicious shifts, she consented to
adopt the little skunks in place Of the
lost kittens. The skunks did not suck
lie In quite the same way as the kit
ten, and it a interesting to watch
Tabby push and box them into posi-
ton. She soon got them In excellent
order, and pussy and her quaint fam
lily afford lots OF amusement for the
children Of the neighborhood. The far.
mer intends to make his find the nu,
cleus Of a skunk farm, and when the
success Of the fox farms Of the mari
time provinces is considered, 1t ap
pears possible at least that he will find
the venture PORTABLE. Skunk is at
present among tie most valuable Of
furs.--Youth's Companion.
