Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

Hard times make every woman
look tp see where she can save
money, which, of course, is sem
sible and proper if not carried
too far.
In the case Of food it would be.
foolish to attempt to substitute
saWdust for breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows sawdust has no food value
and its use would be a positive
detriment to the health.
Royal Baking Powder, which Is
made from cream Of tartar, adds
only healthful qualities to the
food.
The difference in cost Of
pan of biscuits or Of a cake made
with Royal Baking Powder as COM
pared with cheap alum or phos-
phate Of lime powders is about one
cent, which is surely too small an
amount to warrant the risk.
