Penny Pinching Not
Always True Economy

have learned that the intelligent
housewife-the woman schooled in really scien-
uhc domestic economyno longer throws away nickel
save penny.
A good way to illustrate this point
would be through comparison of baking
powders
Experience has taught me-and mill
ions of other women that it doesn't pay to buy
cheap baking powders They few cents less but in the
long they decidedly the expensive Because of
the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they
many bake day falues-and great loss of expensive
ingredients The housewife throws out wasted materials
many times the saved the of the baking pow
der. This is not economy, but extravaganza.
True economy in baking powder
demands the highest quality at the lowest price.
Only baking powders that these demands should be
used Only baking powder that made of the highest class
ingredients perfectly proporoned that only produces
maximum leavehing power but also prfservts it.
Besides, the baking powder that
meets the modern demand for economy should
be economical in useful strength-economica cost
secured moderate price, The housewife should be able
effect a saving when buyng-and another saving when
using-and she should materials it is used with.
That is economy in its highest form.

have proved positively by exhaust
i've experiments and comparative tests that

possesses the surety the purity and goodness that make
constant employment OF baking economy possible.

The ratio Of 100 pounds to II bush.

Of meat. he thought that the better

MIND READING BY WIRELESS
Fakir Detected to Be Using Secret
6uzzer Connected With the Side
Pocket Of His Assistant. ;

While travelling In Ohio last year I
attended q performance In a small
town, where a mind reader was giving
a wonderful exhibition Of his powers,
mused a salesman. The mind reader,
apparently an Oriental, for he wore a
turban and spoke broken English, was
able to name every object the audience
chose to select for a test; he also
named dates on coins, words, and read
passages in books and newspapers: It
was a marvellous exhibition.
The mind readers assistant had a
familiar look he reminded me of n
telegraph operator I had worked with
in the West. When he came to where
l was sitting, I noticed he kept one
hand in his side pocket. The as
sfstant asked me to give the mind
reading a test.
Pulling out my union card, I asked
him to name the organization to which
! was a member. It was three min.
utes by my watch before the mind
reader answered, brotherhood Of
Railroad Signalmen."
The assistant turned away from me
as he held my card In such a way as
to bring the side where his hand was
in the coat away from me.
Thirty years Is a telegrapher has
made my hearing wonderfully acute
and I detected faint Morse signals.
Then I realized in an instant why the
mind readers assistant kept his hand
In his coat pocket. He had a wireless
buzzer In there and was signaling the
mind reader. The buzzer was muf.
fed with cloth to kill the sound.
/ also saw why the mind readerl
wore a turban and stood rigid in onei
position on a rug. The turban was tol
