READ THE LABEL.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance
TO health and good baking 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 consumers;
it merely helps them to protect them
selves. All good housekeepers want
cream of tartar baking powders, and will
not use alum substitutes in the food, il
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; il is easily
obtained at any store; the better 1t Is
the more enconomical it is in cooking

CANNON FOR AIRSHIPS.
Dirigible Balloons in Germany Will Be
Armed for Attacks Upon In
fantry Detachments.

BERLIN, March 1.-The military air
ship of the future is to be armed with
small cannon or machine guns. The
army authorities at several headquarters
throughout Germany are experimenting
along this line, and it has been virtually
decided to provide balloons of the rigid
Zeppelin type either with cannon OF
small caliber or machine guns. The dan
ger resulting from the recoil and the es-
cape of gas from the muzzle has been
practically eliminated by system of
adjustments, the details of which are
kept secret. 1t is proposed also to arm
the semi-rigid balloons of the Parseval
and Gross types with Il lighter rapid fire
weapon, thus enabling them to attack
infantry detachments.
