The Housewife GETS
HER MONEYS WORTH

Time was when the housewife prac-
ticed loose methods in purchasing her
foodstuffs.
But not in this age of the high cost
of living. Today she practices business
methods, and she makes 1t a point to
get her moneys worth. . 60 .
In her selection of foodstuffs she de-
votes much thought. She studies the
food market and familiarises herself
with the different brands of foods.
When she strikes the right article
she sticks to ID. She wants the best at
the lowest cost and she gets it il she
follows the right methods of selection.
The housewife should give careful
consideration to the baking powder,
tea. coffee, -four and other similar foods
if she is to get full value for her money.
There is always one best brand in
every line, and it is the housewives
duty to find that brand.
Some women prefer one kind of Bak-
ing Powder while other womeu demand
a different kind. There is one Baking
Powder that has been on the market
for years -Calumet- which apparently
from its steady sales and increased
popularity. hits the happy medium and
pleases every housewife no matter
what her demands.
In purchasing foods be sure that you
practice caution and you'll II get the best

would be a good adv. for fhe

pie have commended the News

of sewers, and only two have had
ANYTHING to say against the pro-
position. One of these fiue days
there will be an epidemic break
out 10 this city, and there will
be a fat graveyard AZ a result.
Pay no attention to any who may
object to so worthy proposition.

gree of greatness by waiting for

Of Epilepsy and its victims. How
much greater the torture, mental
ly and bodily, of actual sufferers
from Epileptic attacks can only
be imagined.
Commissions, loss OF conscious
ness, terrible falls, etc, are bad
enough in themselves, to be, and
are dreadful Affections, but the
humiliation of publicity that 30
often accompanies these attacks
causes as much mental as phys
ical torture. M. E. Reddy of this

A Choice of Men.

The apathy of the public In
the present political campaign
IL extraordinary, bat II 10 not
strange, for really there Is moth
ing to enthuse over.
In all essential points the plat
forms of the Republicans and
Democrats are alike. Both are
loud in their stand for American
ism, both are for preparedness
and both advocate a tariff COM
mission to take the tariff out of
politics. Both are trying to
dodge the federal suffrage and
prohibition questions.
Plainly, a. between the two
parties, 1t 10 q choice of men. If
the voter IL satisfied with the ad-
ministratiou of President Wilson,
on the whole; if he believes
that the President has acted
wisely, courageously and fairly
in handling the many delicate
situations that have involved the
United States in the present ter
rible European war; If he believes
that Wilson has done the best
for this country and for Mexico
as we'll in so far averting 4 war
with that country; if the voter is
satisfied with the Presidents pol
icies in these present serious
problems, then he is free to vote
to re-elect him. No importau
party differences stand in the
way.
AS for this paper, it stands fol
Mr.. Wilson, because we believt
in him. We believe that in every
stand he has taken he has beer
actuated by the desire to be o.
the highest service, not alone t.
his own country but to all human
ity. He opposes war because i
is ungodly, iuhumau and alto
getheT horrible, and he is usinl
every honorable means to avert It
We agree with the President. l
would not be to our credit t
wage war on poor old decrepiC
Mexico.
Possibly Wilson has made mis-
takes. Who among US is able {,
Judge? Possibly another woul'
have done things differently; bu
one thing is certain. No maj
could have been more successful
in keeping the United States on
of war.
And for this, and the hope o
peace in the future this paper i
for Wilson.
The man, not the party, is tn,
point for consideration this year

New Man on the Job.

The Baxter Springs News, as
announced last week BY Mr..
Smith, comes out this week un-
der new management and owner
ship. Mr.. Smith, who has edited
the paper almost continuously
for 4 quarter of a century, will
henceforth devote his time wholly
to the postofice and private int
erests. He has promised, how
ever, to retain a warm, friendly
interest In the paper and to help
US over the rough places, at least
until we shall have become better
acquainted In the community. We
shall need his help, and are very
grateful indeed for the offer.
Likewise, we shall need the
good will and help of every other
person in the community. We
trust that the old friends of the
paper will stay with us and that
new people in Baxter will come
to US. We want people to be free
and ready to keep US informed
about items of news that may
come to their notice.
We shall try our best to give
Baxter Springs a live and pro-
gressive local paper, making II
our special purpose always to bs
fair, to indulge 10 no personal
abuse and to stand for progress
and law enforcement.
The News will not be q party
organ. The editor is an indie
pendent voter. He tries to picl
the man best fitted for the place
and when taking any side in pol
itics the paper will do the sam'
thing.
But we hope to make the News
also, the mouth-piece of the citi
zens, that is, we want the people
to use these columns for the ex
preston of their views on publ,
matters. Send US in commuuica
tions on any subject not of a per
sonal nature, and we shall b
glad to print them. All we re
Quire is the name of the author
and that not for publication I'm
less the writer wishes it.
The right sort of a local pape
lis a valuable asset to any city o
town. All agree to that. And
lon account of the part 1t takes II
giving publicity to matters of int
crest, in advocating needed re
forms, it becomes in fact a publ
institution, belonging ia man,
ways as much to the commuuit.
as to the man who happens t
own the printing plant.
Therefore, when the edito
proves to be the right sort of
person and his paper is made
credit to the city he should by al
means receive the liberal supper
of business men az advertiser
and users of job printing, ant
every family should be repre-
scented on the papers subscription
list.
This should by no means b
considered a donation, either, 70
if the paper is of the right sor
it returns full value for the none.
spent with it.
The business as we found 1t in
dicates that nearly every bushes
man in Baxter is a patron of tn

best to retain. The few VIII

THIS Is OUR FAITH.

Three declarations stand up above
the general level Of utterance of the
democratic platform like the noun
tain peaks of Colorado above the
table land which surrounds them.
They are the declaration Of the
right of the small nation to its own
sovereignty, the denunciation of all
those who strive to SOW discord
among citizens of America N order
to advance the interests Of foreign
powers, and the profession OF the
willingness of the United States to
join in any feasible association OF
nations for the common safeguarding
of national rights and the preserva-
ton of the freedom of the seas.
This, as the democracy under
stands it, is the program and plat
form of true Americanism. In an
hour big with possibilities, an hour
when mere expediency, as interpret
ed in many quarters, would have
counseled a discreet silence, or the
balancing against each other of
