Two Very Poor Reasons

emily use baking powder which
contains alum it is
Usually for two reasons lack
of knowledge as to what it is made
of, or because it costs less than
standard brand like Royal Bak-
ing Powder, viii oh is made from
cream Of tartar.
There is no longer any reason
for lack Of knowl edge, since the
label on every baking powder can
shows in plain English just what
it contains. If the label on
your can names alum as one Of the
ingredients, and you are in doubt
about its unhealthfulness, your
doctor can enlight en- you.
AS to the lower cost, there is
very little diff erence in prac-
tical use, about one cent for
whole cake or pan Of biscuits-a
mere trifle when you consider the
vast difference in healthfulness
in favor Of food made with Royal
Baking Powder.

GREAT WORK BEING
/. DONE TO SPREAD CHEER
Associated Charities and Salvation
Army Looking After Needy Ones.
Poverty Not SO Widespread

It Is not too late to help toward
the spread of Christmas cheer in
which the Salvation Army and the
Associated Charities are now husily
engaged in preparing.
Both these organizations have hun
dreds of needy persons and families
on their lists, and at least thousand
worthy persons will be helped this
Christmas.
Fortunately, there is not as much
distress in Richmond this year as
upon former occasions. Not as many
men are out of employment. and there
are, consequently. not as many needy
families to look after
But there are hundreds of widows
and orphans to he taken care OF. And
there are some families OF six and
eight children whose fathers have dis
appeared, and who have no means of
livelihood. There are many old and
decrepid men and women who cannot
help themselves and who need the
succor OF their more fortunate fellow
men.
With the prosperity which per-
meates Richmond there is every rea-
son to believe that the good work of
the Salvation Army and the Associated
Charities will be augmented largely
by private aid The best way, how
ever. to dispense charity is through
the organized sources. This prevents,
obviously. the imposition which Is
bound to come In the scattering of
funds lndiscriminateiy.
Both the headquarters OF the Sal
walton Army and the Associated
Charities indicate that great and Won
derful work is being done in the aid
of the needy and suffering. But both
organizations can do more II the peo-
pie help them. 4nd there Is no reason
to believe that the people will, not
cone forth and chip In their mites.
