METHOD FOR MAKING
GOOD BAKING POWDER

Tartaric acid is that found In grapes.
p1neapples. tamarinds and several other
fruits. Cream Of tartar is tartaric acid
combined with potash, and the pure ar
ticle preferred by chemists comes from
the crystals or argols which collect in
wine casks.
In buying cream Of tartar it is wiser
to purchase from chemists than the
grocer.
In a recent examination by the New
York health departments chemists out
Of lis samples Of cream Of tartar, 20
samples purchased from druggists were
pure. OF those bought from the grocers,
40 were pure and 81 adulterated. OF the
adulterated samples. % were mixtures
of alum. starch. acid phosphate of cal
cium and cream Of tartar; IL were mix
lures of alum, starch and acid phos-
phate Of calcium and contained no cream
of tartar. two were mixtures Of starch,
alum and cream of tartar, and one was
plain bicarbonate of soda.
The very best and purest Of baking
cream of tartar, bicarbonate Of soda and
wheat. rice -four or refined corn flour,
to give strengthening qualities.
The best formula that 1 know of is
this, given by Mrs. Alice Gillette, for
meriy head Of the cooking department,
over two ounces tartaric acid. one pound
cream of tartar, ten ounces bicarbonate
soda, sixteen ounces Of -four or twelve
ounces of rice flour. Keep in tight cans
or bottles, reserving a quarter pound

A gill who is going away for a summer
vacation should invest dollar in tissue
paper before packing her trunk. for this
inexpensive protector will be a saving to
her clothes. For instance. sleeves stuffed
with tissue paper and rolls of 1t laid be-
tween the folds of skirts will keep them
in almost pristine freshness, while with
out these aids they will be so crumpled
after packing that they will look dowdy
before being worn.
Another essential in packing is to have
clothing arranged solidly in the trunk. so
that the articles canot slip, yet unless
soft materials are well protected this
tightness will work their destruction.
To pack to the best advantage a fiat sur
face, on which to fold garments. is in
dispensable.
To fold a skirt it should be spread out
smoothly, front and back together. bring
ing the crease at the sides. These two
side folds should be laid over to the back
seam to meet there, and a roll of paper
must be placed under each turn. If the
skirt is still too wide to go into the trunk.
another similar turn must be given to
each side, and under the folds rolls of pa
per must be laid. These will entirely
prevent the sharp crease usually seen on
garments carelessly packed.
Fold Pieces to Fit Trunk.
The object in folding is to make the gar
ment just the size of the trunk. If that
means turning over the skirt at the top
to shorten the length, another roll of pa
per must be laid in.
In the waist the sleeves should have
wads of crumpled paper in sufficient
quantity to prevent creaSes, but not to
make the sleeves hard, for were they
stuffed out soldly they would only take
unnecessary room and would look no pet
ter than when filled with less paper. Pa
per should be put into the body part or
a blouse, ETC., to prevent its becoming
mashed.
Any coat or garment with folds must
be treated in the same manner. Hats
with ribons should have the loops slightly
stuffed. SO they will look fresh when un-
packed. Hat crowns will be helped to
keep their shape by packing them solid
with such soft articles as stockings. ties.
or socks. anything. indeed. that will not
break the straw. All this should be done
before any piece is put into the trunk.
Keep Surface Even When Packing.
In packing the endeavor should be to
keep an even surface and to make all
solid. so that though the trunk may be
thrown on end Its contents will not be
shaken out of place. The mistake that
many persons make is to pack loosely.
Nothing can be more more disastrous in
effect. If large garments are laid in.
and small ones packed about in the cor
ners and at the sides, trunk Will hold
much more. and every piece will keep In
better condition.
If a woman has not a special trunk for
hats it is we'll to reserve the top tray for
millinery. These. with the crowns stuffed,
should be laid in rims down. and four
small tacks put through the brims to
hold the hats solid. The tacks will do no
injury. and the hat will not be crushed
by sliding.

Air Heads That Perspire.
Women whose heads perspire in warm
weather will have even a worse time this

in airing the head at night and in using
certain lotions that are drying without
being injurious.

of extreme perspiration of the scalp is
made from an eighth of an ounce each Of
bicarbonate of soda and borax, an ounce

WEARING FALSE HAIR
INJURIES MANY SCALPS

Unless girl is very careful she will find
that the present fashion of wearing false
hair Injuries her scalp. This comes
through insufficient ventilation that causes
the head to become overheated. following
which condition the hair is bound to fall
out
1t would be useless to deride present
fashions, for with the prevailing shape Of
hats false hair is necessary to support
them. 1t may be suggested, however that
more than three puffs worn at once take
on an aspect that is almost grotesque. and
that a crown of them gives the effect Of
puffs by the yard. There should be just
enough to give contour to the head In
keeping with the hat
Under no conditions should a woman
who wears false hair through the day
neglect to give her scalp good brushing
when going to bed, either braiding or let
ting her tresses hang loose The latter
way is decidedly preferable. in that it al
