She Knows What She Wants

The we'll informed housekeeper
objects to the use of alum in
food. She nj ght read in an adj
verti sement or be told that it
was all right in the quantities
used, but in the end she would
merely ask, MO you mean to say
that these baking powders con-
tain alum?"
If the answer, however quail
fled, were in the afr irmat 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 she
wants baking powder made OF
cream Of tartar, like Dr.. Prices.

of unconsc i Gus absorpt ion, either

 The report opens with considera- tion of the military problem confront ing the United States from which it reaches the conclusion that "The safeguard of isolation no longer ex- ists" since the oceans, once barriers, are now easy avenues of approach by reason of the number, speed and car rying capacity of ccean-going vess- els" It declares that the successful outcome of the wars in which tine country has been engeged has given the public a wrong impression, inas- much as careful study of these wars 1 reveal "a startling picture of faulty leaderships, needless waste of lives and property, costly overhead charg- es augmented by payment of bOunties | r., keep up voluntary enlistments undue prolongation of all these wars and finally, reckless expenditure of 1 public funds for continuing pensions. | But we have not learned our les son. the report adds.
