Two Very Poor Reasons

IF some housewives i~nadvert-
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 1t costs less than
a standard brand like Royal Bak-
ing Powder, which IS made from
cream Of tartar.
There is no longer any reason
for lack Of knowledge, since the
label on every baking powde' can
shows in plain English just wat
it contains. If the label on
your can names alum as one Of the
ingredients, and you r in doubt
about it's unhealthfulness, your
doctor can enlighten you.
As to the lower cost, there is
very little difference in prac-
tical use, about one cent for a
whole lake or pan Of biscuitS-a
mere trifle when you consider the
vast difference in healthfulne5s
in favor Of food made with Royal
Baking Powder.

Bluff has won big stakes in the past,
but according to dispatches from Con
stantinople the biggest bluff ever car
ried through successfully was in the
Dardanelles campaign. The defenders
of the channel were reduced to the
point where they had only II shells
left for their big guns, and they ex-
pected to surrender the following day
but the British warships, awed by
the stout resistance which had been of
fered, did not return to the attack
when daylight came According to the
statement if the attack had been con
tinued one day more the straits of Oar
danelles would have been forced, Con
stantinople would have fallen, commu
nieation by water with the Russian
Black sea ports would have been es
tablished, and the whole course of tn,
war changed.

Butter is by-product of the domes-
tic COW and the humble peanut. 1t is
used to disguise the natural flavor of
articles which otherwise would have to
be eaten with the nose in the form of
a question mark.
Methods of making butter have been
greatly improved in the last 80 OF
10 years. For a long time before the
fragrant hand separator was intro
duced, the farmer made his own butter
and sold what was left after the hired
man was through supper to people in
town. This butter was always made
by the farmer s wife, who had a secret
process which nobody has been able to
initiate successfully since. The ehurn-
ing was done by the brother in a cali
go apron and respondent spirit, who
would wave gloomily at the care-free
playmates with one hand and scatter
sour cream on the kitchen floor with
the other, after which the sound of the
shingle would be heard in the land.
Butter is now made in large, highly
perfumed buildings by rude men in
rubber-boots who are often obliged to
work with cream strong enough to
travel on foot. 1t is then shipped as
protected by The Ada
