Spiritualism is a religion because

derived from such communion.
Unfortunately the uniformed
have not differentiated Spiritualism
from Spiritism. Spiritualism Is the
philosophy Of life-and the direct
opposite of materialism, considering
Spirit the basic foundation of all
things, in all worlds.
Spiritualism, originating in God
who is Spirit, and grounded in
mans moral nature, is a substantial
fact, and infinitely mora fact
plus reason and conscience; a fact
relating to moral and religious Gull
ture-a fact plus reason and con-
science: a fact relating to moral
and religious culture-a sublime
spiritual truth ultimating in con-
secrating to the good, the beautiful,
and the heavenly.
How well Jesus, that highly in
spired man Of Nazareth, knew the

Spiritualism Reveals Truth
Spiritualism does not create

LONDON, Feb. 24-Prince Carols
sudden departure for Paris from
Milan is causing much speculation
in diplomatic circles today.
Belief was expressed in some
quarters that the Prince had left to
consult with leaders Of the opposi-

his return to Bucharest. The OPP
position, which triumphed in the
Rumanian elections, is understood
to be exceedingly anxious to have
Carol return as his support would

MILAN, Feb. 24.-Prince Carol,
travelling under the name Of Prince
Caraiman, and accompanied by
Nine. Lupescu, for love Of whom
he was alleged to have renounced
his succession to the Rumanian
throne, left Milan today.
The prince had engaged quarters
at Lake Garda, where he had con.

OF the winter and the early spring.
His change of plans was attributed
to the fall OF the Bratiano ministry
and the resultant uncertainty of the

he will meet representatives Of the
Rumanian Nationalist party.

Harpey Wiley Pure Food Crusader, at S2 Renews Fight
SAYS Basis of Diet Is Being Poisoned and Law Parayzed

Charging that "the foundations
of our diet are being poisoned"
through non-enforcement of pure
food laws, DR.. Harvey W. Wiley,
former Chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture and an authority on
pure food legislation, is planning
new assault, through congress, on
food adulterants and preservatives
injurious to health.
Enforcement of the pure food
law has been paralyzed," Dr. Wiley
declares, "and the door opened wide
to the use of adulterants. Violators
have grown so bold, because of the
non-enforcement of the present
law, that they have now introduced
in congress bills which actually
would legalize the adulteration not
only of jams and iellies but even CT
bread, cakes, meats and frozen
foodstuffs. That constitutes an
open challenge to battle, and on
this issue of pure foods /, for one
am still for war!
"Today all the adulterants and
coloring matter banned by me as
Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry
in the early days of the pure food
law-borax, benzoate of soda, alum
saccharine, sulphur dioXide-the
whole list-are being illegally used
in foodstuffs and their use winked
at and condoned by the authorities
in charge of the laws enforcement
Because of the extent to which
people today eat preserved and pre-
pared foods, this condition of par
alysis in enforcing the pure food
law is more than ever harmful
The Remsen Board, supposedly ap-
pointed to protect the public from
harmful ingredients in it's food
stuffs, as directed by the pure food
law, condones and permits the use
of alum. The Bureau of Chemistry.

Bulletin 1888 says: The use of
alum in connection with food prod.
ucts is of doubtful expediency. to
say the least / go further. I be-
lieve that the use of alum in foods
is not only of doubtful expediency,
but is both actually harmful and
illegal and that the Bureau of
Chemistry is delinquent in not pre-
senting the question of its use to
the courts for their determination. !"
Although Wiley himself is nearly

81 years of age, his zeal as pure
food crusader is still undimmed and
he will carry into the coming fight
vigor few men even 20 years
younger possess. Years of temper
ate living and of "practicing what
he breaches" with respect to pure
foods have left him mentally and
physically still a stalwart and re-
sourceful fighter.
In the coming campaign to re-
habilitate the pure food laws. how
ever. he will call into his camp
some of the younger and more
forceful fighters in congress, pro
viding them out of his experience
with the expert advice and counsel
necessary to make their ammu
milton effective.

easy fight. Few men Of his age
would be either willing or able to
undertake it. But pure food has
been his life's creed. To see the
cause for which he fought so zeal
ously being shunted aside and dis
regarded after he had forced it
once to theoretical victory is a
challenge he will not evade He
may die in the fight, but by dying
fighting he may more effectively
pass on to younger men the spirit
that sustained his battle and thus
insure a certain and final victory.
At any rate, at 80. Harvey Wiley,

Unemployment-The government of
the Free City of Danzig has mani
tested its intention to employ every
means at its disposal to relieve the
unemployment situation, even to the
extent of financing the emigration of
unemployed to other countries, par
ticularly Canada and South America.
This plan. it is said, will not only re-
duce the number of unemployed, but
also will relieve the Treasury of the
necessity for the payment of further
doles.

Industrial CommissiOn-The gov
ernment has selected a commission to
visit the United States and Canada
for the purpose of studying industrial
conditions, especially the relations be-
tween employers and employees in
their bearing upon the industrial sit
uatlon.
New Factories Bill-The Home Sec
retary recently presented to the
House of Commons a bill to consoli-
date and amend the present regula-
tions for factories. The government
aims to raise the general standard of
factory conditions without placing
any undue burden upon industry, and
to bring about more efficiency and
promote the welfare of the workers.
The measure abolishes the present
distinction between factories and
workshops and between textile and
non-textile factories, and uses the
one term, Factories"
INDIA
Indian FactOries-The most recent
report under the Indian Factories Act
shows that the total number of regis
tered factories increased during the
year from 465 to 541, the increase be-
ing mainly in cotton ginning fac
tories. The number actually working
increased from 434 to SGT, and their
operatives rose from 50,842 to 1888.
Six hundred and thirty-five inspec-
tions were made during the year, as
compared with 568 during the prev
ious year.
