English army officers complain
about the quality of beef supplied
to their soldiers by American pack

horror of war noted by the Eglish

A new type of spotter has ap
peared in the railroad business,
says the Emporia Gazette. The
merit and promotion system has
made him necessary. The old
spotter looked for bad work and
made black marks. The new one
installed by certain railroads, is
looking for good work, which many
men are too modest to report.
According to statistics which
have just been given out by the
Department of Justice, 901 con
victions have been made under the
Mann "white slave" act. Some
thing like 4,000 cases have been
tried under the same law. The
department does not state, how
ever, that the law had fulfilled its
purpose and that the convictions
have stopped the traffic.
SAYS THE PHILOSOPHER
Contentment Is the only panacea
for all Ills.
Fear may cause a woman to change
color, but that Isn't the only thing.
We would never suspect what fine

Tell a girl she Is an angel, and she
will expect you to keep harping on
the subject.
The man who parades his virtues
may be as much of a poser as the fel
low who boasts of his vices.
Every man should be continually
on his mettle, but even the man of
steel may lose his temper.
This would be a much different
world If we were all as free with as
sistance as we are with advice.

Has Been Confined In Saxony
as a Punishment.
There is a new raven in the cage
of the historic raven of Merseburg in
Prussian Saxony. The number In suc
cession of the new bird is not record
ed, but it occupies a place that has
held a raven since >he middle ages,
in consequence of the contrition of a
certain knight of Merseburg who con
demned to death an innocent man
Thtlo von Trotha was the lord of
this section In the middle ages. One
day he missed from his room some
Jewelry, accused a man servant of
stealing it and had him beheaded in
the courtyard. Before his decapitation
the condemned man proclaimed his in
nocence and said that he would reas
sert it after death by raising hif arms
above his shoulders. Tradition says
that he did so.
Some months later the missing Jew
els were found in a raven's nest. Thilo
von Trotha thereupon ordered that for
all time a raven suould be kept in
the courtyard, and the raven just put
Into the cage is the successor of that
first bird. The arms of the von Tro

You do not wish
alum in your food
.You desire to avoid it. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking
Powder contains no alum or lime phosphate. Its
use is therefore a safeguard against objectionable
mineral salts which are left in the biscuit and cake
when made with inferior powders.
Chemists have shown that a large percentage of
the chemicals of which alum baking powders are
made remains in the food in the form of Glauber’s
Salt, hydrate of aluminum and other impurity

"French Before Breakfast.”
Commander Evans of Antarctic
fame, has proved his courage In many
fields of adventure. But we doubt if
he has ever given a higher proof of
it than in his undertaking to lecture
at the Sorbonne in French learned In
15 days. The gallant seaman is said
already to speak like a native—but
the French are a very polite people—
save for some slight confusion of
enses. If Commander Evans has not
tiuite come up to Toole’s advertise
ment of ’ French before breakfast,” he
has achieved a feat which will raise
he reputation of his fellow-country
nen as linguists, which does not at
■resent stand high.—Pall Mall Ga

Undecided.
We may well be astonished at the
death certificate recently submitted
by a native doctor at an inquest in
far-away India. “I think she died or
lost her life for want of food, or on
account of starvation and perhaps for
other things of her comfortables, and
most probably she died by dniwning."

learned, and be content therewith.—
