Which Do You Prefer?

It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
DO prefer pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sorces?"
The names Of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, ne,p or old,
that may be offered is genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.

Our politicians, in order to protect

numerous administrative blunders.
which they naturally commit when they
attempt to perform duties for which
they are utterly unqualified, have muz-
zled our officers. and thus the only men
who are thoroughly competent to re-
veal the woeful ineffiCienCies of our
army and navy are forced to keep sill
ence and even compelled to bear the
discredit for plumbers for which they
are in no way responsible, and from
which they would protect us If they
were allowed freedom of speech. Oc-
casionally their devotion TO their Coun-
try impels them to risk everything and
to break through this senseless barrier
thereby injuring the regulations and the
political careers of some OF our well
known statesmen. The recent fate
OF Admiral Fiske, who, when ques-
toned before the congressional com
mittee, dared to tell unpleasant truths
about the present lack OF organization
in our navy, is the latest warning that
indiscreet outbursts OF truth and pa
triotism will promptly result in ruined
careers. TO muzZle our experts on ma
tional safety is almost as ridiculous as
1t would be to force the Drs Mayo to
keep silent on surgery, or to forbid
