She Knows What She Wants

The we'll informed housekeeper objects to the use of alum in food. She ight read in an ad- vertisement or be told that it was all right in the quantities used, but in the end she would merely ask, "Do you mean to say that these baking powders con- tain a1um7"
 If the answer, however quali- fled, were in the firmat i've, that would be enough. She would not buy it. Why?
 Because she knows that cream of tartar has always been accepted as the most wholesome product for raising cake and biscuit, and sho wants baking powder made of cream of tartar, like Dr.. Price 's.
 This conclusion is the result of unconscious absorpt ion, either her own or her mother's, of tho opinions of the highest authori- ties on hyg iene and home cooking.
