Councillor Kun:chok followed with
an eloquent speech in the same tenor

"We are assembled" said the
coun.ilor, 'sto declare how warm and
glowing are our longings for peace.
But the leading men in enemy states
must be warned against drawing
false conclusions from this admrs-

UNREST IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Old Territorial Disputes Revived by
War Decisions.

Buenos Ayres, Oct. 9.-Virtual en-
trance into the European war on
the part of Peru and Uruguay BY
breaking relations with Germany
has set the whole South American
political pot a boiling, Territorial
controversies of old standing, some
Of them smouldering for decades IN
der a veneer of friendly relations
others almost forgotten, have been
revived overnight. Owing to the re-
moteness Of the seat of war this
phase transcends for the moment all
others.
Between Peru and Chile there has
been an "Alsace-Lorraine question
ever. since the war between the two
countries was ended by the treaty of
1SS3-'S4. By that treaty Chile oc-d-
pied the provinces of Tacna and
africa under the stipulation that a
popular vote in the two provinces in
1914 should decide to which country
they belong. When the time came,
! negotiations failed and Chile kept
iTacna and africa. Peru has been
claiming them ever since as ~"stolen
provinces"
Peru, it is understood. proposed 20
enlist the support of the entente al
lies and America for her claim, and
to have it settled in her favor at the
peace conference.
A similar controversy has been OBJ
tanned between Uruguay and Argen-
tina for many years with respect to
the jurisdiction and sovereignty over
the waters of the Rio de La Plata,
or Plate River. Through its many
tributaries, this stream drains the
greater part of Argentina, all Of
Paraguay, and most of Uruguay, as
well as portions of Bolivia ana
Brazil. Argentina claims jurisdiction
over the rivers waters as far as tire
Uruguayan threc-milc limit, a clam
that has been long q thorn IN the
side of the smaller republic.
The view taken in most OF the
South American countries, according
to dispatches and pres. comments
is that un!css Argentina soon joins
the almost complete South American
block against Germany, she VIII

The Age OF Sanitation.

This is the age of perfect sani
tation, especially in the manu-
facture of foods.
And no one is more particular
about sanitation and cleanliness
than careful Mrs. Housewife.
She is daily growing more
cautious about the focdstuifs
she buys, and she makes it her
important duty to learn. it pos.
sible, the various methods of
manufacture practiced in the
factories of everything she
buys.
The food article that cannot
convince her that its methods of
production are absolutely above
reproach can find no place in her
home. Its manufacturer has
lost forever the careful woman
as a customer.
She has read so much about
sanitation and the pure food reg.
ulation that she has at last
awakened to its full Importance.
She cannot e too cautious in
her Investigations of such food
products as canned goods, Baking
Powders, etc.
There is one Baking Powder
manufacturer. for instance,
whose factory doors are always
wide open to the careful house
wife.
II you could visit this plant,
the largest and NEST saniiary in
the word, where Calumet Bak,
ing Powder is made, you would
be amazed at the wonderful
cleanliness of everything and
every employee.
In this, the worlds most
modern Baking Powder plant,
every movement in Caiumet'l
manufacture is done by spotless
machinery. No human hand ever
touches the Baking Powder and
it reaches you absolutely pure.
