When Babies wero Taxed.

There was once a tax on babies in
England. but it was only in force for a
short time. The tax was put on in
1896 and abolished in 17O6. The higher
up in society a man was the more he
had to pay for the privilege of being a
happy father; duke, for instance, had
to pay EDO. q marquis EOS, and 80 on.
Nowadays the reverse principle is in
force, and the state allows so much
rebate on income tax to those who
have children and 80 shillings to moth
ers who are insured.

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most tealthfll ingredient
known for the purpose.
Alum and phosphate, which are derived
from mineral sources, are used IN some
baking powders instead of cream of tartar,
because they are cheaper.
To safeguard the quality of your food,
when you are urged to buy another bak-.
ing powder because it costs less than
Royal, ascertain by reading the label
whether it contains alum or phosphate,
and if so, do not use it.

which was directly contributed at mass

of ephemeral interest. although one

Two practices were held daily through

was light, consisting of preliminary
training such as falling on the ball,
form blocking and tacklins In the
afternoons Coach Guyer had the men
breaking up plays from last years
formations, also running down punts
and tackling. He finished up the week
by light scrimmage in which he tried
out some new plays. On one side he
had a team composed almost entirely
of last years varsity men and opposed
to them he tried out all the new ma
terial. With the opening of school
on Monday only one practice will be
held each day which will be mostly in
the form of scrimmage.
