Quality Versus Quantity

Many housewives make a vital
mistake in choosing some of their
foodstuffs on the basis of quantity.
1t has been proven time and again
that the cheapest is always the most
expensive. while the highest priced is
not always the best.
There's happy medium in every,
thing, When you select foods, be
careful Don't choose any particular
brand of, say Baking Powder for ex
ample, just because you get big can
for a small price
The risk you take in rurring your
entire baking and losing the cost of
the materials involved is not any
where equal to the small amount
saved on the price Of the Baking
Powder.
Then again, because the price is
high, don't think the quality is the
best. Some women do, and they are
losing money.
Look for the happy medium.
You Il find it. Choose a brand that
costs moderate price and you'll find
it more economical to buy and more
economical to use,
/ he est Baking Powder in the
world can be made so as to sell for
2Sc per lb.

BIRDS RE-
PORTED PLENTIFUL
New Game Law Allows Only
Twelve Quail Killed in
a Day

There come slowing reports
from every section as to the
quail crop. In every ncighbor.
hood the birds are reported to be
more plentiful than for years
past and the hunters are looking
forward to extra good shooting.
But they will find the land
owners more disposed to keep
indiscrlmluate hunters off their
ground and permission had better
be secured before entering any
field.
Another thing this year which
will have direct influence on
the quail shooting is the new law
which limits each hunters Kill to
twelve birds per day. In times
past it has often been nothing
short of wanton slaughter; when
no limit was set hunters were
allowed to kill all the birds they
could. A genuine sportsman
will reIIgiou,ly adhere to this
law, for it was passed to safe
guard the quail and prevent them
from being cleaned out entirely,
and for those who will not OBJ
serve the bag limit it is proposed
to have wideawake game wardens
who will see that they are pros.
ecuted ifthey 90 above the limit,
Game wardens have the power to
stop any hunter at any time and
make him show what he has in
his bag.
