The Best Example of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should BE In Quail
lty and Price.
A popular and efficient baking powder re-
quires two things-first, that the food made
with it shall be absolutely wholesome:
second, that it shall be sold at a reasonable
price.
In talking about the hea1thfulness of
baking powder, it must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article of diet
any more than compressed yeast One
would be quite as Objectionable for food as
the other, except that of the two, the bak-
ing powder might be preferable.
We do not eat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them. When placed upon
the tai BILE no yeast remains in the bread and
no baking powder in the biscuit Both
leavening agents have been destroyed in
the aeration and the baking; otherwise in
stead of light bread and biscuit we should
have mass of heavy, hard-balxed dough-
One Well-known brand, K @ Baking
Powder, is sold under $500, 900 guarantee
of its hea1thfulness and purity. There can
be no doubt that baking powder so guar
anteed is absolutely wholesome and perfect
ly reliable. Even if it did remain in the
food 1T could do nothing but good.
With regard to price, baking powder as
efficient and wholesome as is possible to
make can be sold, at a fair profit, for one
cent an ounce. If it costs more the price is
exhorbitant
Millions of pounds of K @ Baking Powder,

ers imported from Paris for my new
stained glass department and they
walk on tiptoe because they have
worked so much in churches and
cathedrals that the gait has become
habitual with them.
Practically all their working hours
have been spent in the repairing of
the magnificent old painted windows
of the churches of Europe. Since
these churches are always open, since
services are always going on in them,
work must be conducted quietly and
all walking must be done on the toes.
Hence these three excellent arti-
lists whenever they enter a specious
and quiet place like this gallery of
mine rise up on their toes invu1un-
tarily from a subconscious notion that
they are in church

Rational and Feminlne.

The truth is women do not care
about food. When it's for themselves
it ceases to interest them. Women
who live alone can never be trusted to
eat at all. 1t is a sad commentary on
the sex that Eve should so long have
resisted the seductions of that apple.
What, of course, overcame her was
the desire to have something she
knew she ought not to have-a per,
fectly rational and feminine desire.
The thing itself had no influence over
her; it might just as well have been
a cigar-cutter as an apple.-Liverpoo

And not a breach is made, in sooth!

AS rose-red banners 'gainst the sky.

Doth storm the fortress fair of love;
It's strongest when besieged the most,

And faith exceeding sweet is all
