Real Worth Us. Low Cost

IF you asked your but cher for
port erhouse steak and he handed
you a cut of the flank and said,
"This doesn't cost much and
is just as good," you wouldn't
believe him, would you?
Yet the butchers stat ement
is just truthful as the asser-
tion that inferior baking pow
ders made of alum or phosphate
of lime good as Royal,
which is made from cream OF
tartar.
Alum is a mineral acid salt,
declared by many medical authori-
ties unsafe to in food.
Royal Baking Powder is as

The only reason for using such

"Got everything!"
"Then let's duck while the ducking's

They began lodging among the trees
in hopes that the occupants Of the
limousine would not see them. But in
this they failed.
Radcliffe leaned out Of the limousine

and In his overconhdenco he forgot ali
about the underground passage until
his Quarries were suddenly found miss

far from expecting. He had a sensa-
ton not unlike that OF a nonsmoker
having tobacco smoke putfed In his
face. He called to Baird.
They've gone into the underground
passage. We have one chance In a
hundred in blocking them at the old
garage. Look aliver'
The two ran excitedly from the
house.
They found the garage boarded mp.
They began battering at window and
succeeded In breaking the barricade
just as the fugitives left the garage at
the other end. They jumped into the
empty van awaiting them just as Baird
and Hunt crawled into the garage.
They saw by the open trap that the
birds had flown. Out OF the window
