The undertone was uncertain and

The market fell in sympathy dur

declined to yesterdays low level and

Returns of the crop report were in
some respects more disappointing

was followed by another raid on the
market which sent Union Pacific UNI

OWNERS TOOK PROFIT

Chicago, Aug. g.. While awaiting
the government crop report wheat
owners today took profit and led adj
yances in prices to be more than
wiped out. The Washington figures
turned out to be better for the bulls
than had been looked for but came
TOO late to have any influence before

Closing prices were Y lower than
last night Corn wound up UNI
changed to Il and oats 4 higher to

The surprise which the government
report gave the wheat trade was in
the lowering of the spring wheat
condition no many dealers this
showing proved rather startling al.
though Il leading private authority
this morning had predicted a low
condition.
Dring exchange hours prices were
lifted by advices OF frost and danger
OF the widening injury from black
rust and as a result the closing toae
was weak.
Corn received support because OF
the lightuess of receipts
Oats had no independent action.

The High Cost OF Living Reduced

Much has been said about the high cost of living
Its causes, and the possibilities of its reduction But
little has been said about the most costly leak; the
false economy existing today in nearly every house
hold
Much foodstu1s are bought with but one point in
view: "How cheap can get t?'' without thought
of quality or after cost" One of the most serious
Is baking powder
BY the use of perfect baking powder the house
wife can derive as much economy as from any other
article used in baking and cooking In selecting the
baking powder, therefore, care should be exercised
to purchase one that retains it's original strength
and always remains the same, thus making the food
sweet and wholesome and producing sufficient leav-
cning gas to make the baking light
Very little of this leavening gas is produced by
the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to
use double the quantity ordinarily required to Sc
cure good results
You cannot experiment every time YOU make a
cake or biscuit, or test the strength of your baking
powder to find out how much of it you should use:
yet with most baking powders you should do this
for they are put together so carelessly they are
never uniform, the quality and strength varying
