How to Detect the
Alum Baking Powder

(Which are the alum baking powders;
how can avoid them unless they are named9"
asks a housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can Of a low
priced powder in your hand and read the
ingredient clause upon the back label. The
law requires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated. If you find
one Of the ingredients named alum, or SUI
plate Of aluminium, you have found an alura
baking ponder.
There is another and a better way. You
don't have to know the names of the alum
powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only;
that assures you a cream Of tartar powder,
and the purest and most healthful baking
powder beyond question.

Hea w Yield of Oats in Moss.

In estimating the splendid har-
vest of oats in the county by town
ships, Moss township, Judging from
numerous reports shat have come
to US, is the banner township in the
county. Mr.. G. NJ. Williams told
the Advertisers representative Mon
day that he has never seen finer oats
grown than some that were har-
vested by some of his neighbors this
year. Not only we're the oats very
heavy on small fertile spots but the
large fields averaged we'll. MIR.
Ward Corley had l47 bushels of
oats threshed from two acres.
In reply to the question as to
how the season had been for the
thresher which has been operated
jointly this season by his son and
Mr.. w. T. Reel, Mr.. Williams
said that over practically the same
territory in which 1900 bushels of
oats were threshed last year they
threshed over $4,000 bushels this
year. That gives some idea of the
large relative yield over the county.
