so much an hour for the bank, the
price varying with the size of the

The popularity of this form of faro
is widespread throughout the Latin
and Teuton population of Soho. and

thousands of dollars are won and lost
nightly.
A horde of American grafters and
crooks got in the habit of resorting
to certain night club. Scotland Yard
J kept the gaming under surveillance
and planned to dispose of them by
raiding this club, which would furnish
a decent excuse in court to ask that
each of them be sent to prison for

realze the weighty influence of one little
necessity. Of life-baking powder-on the
cost OF living.
Yet it is leakage that can easily be

little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder. Some think there is
ecopofny in buying the cheap "Big Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures In the baking, and the
result is that more is lost in one or two
spoiled bakings than you spend on bak-
ing powder In the whole year. The cheap

avoided.
On the other hand, many housewives
