READ THE LABEL

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingred
tents of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the import
ance to health and good baking of
using pure cream of tartar powder
will read the back of the label care
fully and make sure that the ingred-
tents mentioned include cream of tar
tar.
The food law does not force con-
sumers; it merely helps them to pro-
tect themselves. All good housekeep-
ers want cream of tartar baking pow
ders, and will not use alum substi-
tutes in the food, if they know it.
AS the ingredients are printed on the
back of the, label, all may know the
facts.
Good baking powder is one of the
most. useful things in the kitchen; !;
it is easily obtained at any store;
the better it is, the more economical
it is in cooking materials, and the
more it conserves the health of the
family.

A FEW CULLED
SENTENCES
From a Sermon Preached Last
Sunday in Grand Rapids.

Newell Dwight Hills, in a recent
book entitled The Fortune of the
Republic tells Of man in A Pennsyl-
vania mining town, who interrupted
eloquent eulogy on Abraham Lincoln
with this excIamation: "Oh damn
Lincoln, What has he done for us?
| should be afraid to meet such man
in the dark. If there were many like
him in this land Of ours the future of
the Republic would be easy TO tell,
but sorrOwful both TO tell and TO hear.
A man who is incapable of bowing re-
verently before the great and the
good is very little better than the
bruteS.
The ability to see Gods ideal in
the plain actual, readiness to confess
faith in that ideal when it is unpOpL-
lar, aud an earnest effort to incarnate

if planted with the right kind of for.

There is money in most of them if

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use Of "Toris'' for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ''To one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.
