Will You Read This Twice?
A very important quest ion

very important qu0SL1 on
to-day which every houSekeeper
must decide for herself is whether
she prefers pure, cream Of tartar
baking powder like Royal or
whether she is willing to use
baking powder made OF inferior
substitutes which do not add
healthful qualities TO the food.
One kind is easily dist in
guished from the other, since
the laws Of various States require
the ingredients to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in
doubt whi ch kind is most health
full, it Is worth while to ask the
family doctor. Then decide.
And when once a decision is
reached let no advert sement or
dealers S argument or canvasser's
solicitat on change the decision.
Tt is not a question of a few
cents or of pleasing a salesman
It is a quest on of health.
IF this appeals TO you as rea-
5onable and sensible advice, 1t
is worth reading twice. And it
is worth remembering.

Review, of February Is. Is as follows:
Some disappointment is expressed
among local jobbers and manufacture
,ers because OF the difficulty exper-
fenced In reviving normal trade con-
ditions, and the volume OF business
continues small in spite Of substantial
progress in adjustment reported from
the cotton producing sections. Coun-
try merchants are still combining their
purchases to a minimum, and slow
collections are Il prominent feature.
Bad conditions OF country roads have
interfered with the movement OF farm
products to market. particularly in the
cotton and tobacco growing sections.

organizations 90 influence Southern

ported.

move slowly. and competition for bust
ness is keen. Jobbers Of heavy ma
chinery Ind supplies say that buss-
ness is quiet, and conditions in this
branch OF trade will require time In
lumber trade are showing fairly salts
factory conditions. but the bulk of
manufa cturers are attempting to trans
act only small business, and the
smaller sawmills are combining their
operat ous to the minimum In comply

tracts. There is little demand for
rough lumber and the small amount
Of building in progress requires only
