Better Cake and Biscuits

In all receipts calling for
baking powder, use Dr.. Price's
Cream Baking Powder. Better and
finer food will be the result,
and you will safeguard it against
possible dangerous compound.
Look out for adul terated bak-
ing powders. Do not permit them
to come into your house under any
cons iderat ion. They may add an
injuri GUS substance to your food,
destroying in part it's digesti-
bility. Doctors will tell you
this and it is inquest i enable.
Housewives are sonnet ines led
to use inferior baking powders
because of deceptive foaming or
boiling tests or apparent lower
cost, but there is very little
difference in practical use,
about one cent for a whole cake
or pan of biscuits--a mere trifle
when you cons ider the vast diff
ference in heal thfulness in favor

Lots of Money

An idea of the large amount of
money derived from tourists travel
ling in Switzerland can be gained
bv the following telegram from
Geneva under of April roth. 1t
states that from August 1, 10 the
end of December the hotels in the
Be-rese Oberland alone have a
deficit Of SIS. 900, 900 owing to the
loss of American and English
patrons. The loss b ear for this
same section will be greatly in
creased on account of the coutin-
uation of war. Hence if this
travel can be diverted to the
Rocky Mountain section this year
it will become a permanent source
Of tourist attraction and the vast
sums that are taken from this
country across the ocean will be
kept here and this amount will be
augmented by the money that
comes here through English
Tourist. With the movement to
make travel attractive through b
our mou utains as il has been made
in the little Cantons of Switzerland
there is no forecas.lng the wealth
that it will bring to state and
country.
