The Norwich-Taftville team was on hand to dc battle with the local team and were just ready to go up to the field when the rainmaker got busy and ordered up a smart shower. At 4 o'clock the players went up to the grounds, but there was no chance and the game was called off Ten minutes later the weather frightened. It rain- ed just long enough to cause a post- ponement. For streak of bad weather limit. Of the six games scheduled since the opening of the season, three have been postponed.
 A string of double headers must of necessity be played during the second round of the playing schedule and what the fans are missing now will be amply compensated for--if it doesn't rain!

Read the Label

Under the Pure Food Laws bak-
ing powder labels now show the in
gradients of which the powder is
made.
Those who appreciate the i'm
portance to health and good baking
powder of using a pure cream of
tartar powder will read the back of
the label carefully and make sure
that the ingredients mentioned in
clude cream of tartar.
The food law does not force con-
sumers; it merely helps them to
protect themselves. All the good
housekeepers want cream of tartar
baking powders, and will not use
alum substitutes 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 economi-
cal it is in cooking materials and
the more it conserves the health of
the family.
