MRS. JACKS BEATEN
 BISCUIT HAS BEEN INCREASED IN PRICE
Explains How War Condi. tions Have Made Slight
 Increase Necessary

Just as long as it was possible main
 tained the old price for my beaten bis
 cult, known to the public as Mrs. Jack s
 Beaten Biscuit but the time has come
 when it is impossible for me to sell them at 20 cents box and by increasing the
 price to 25 cents a box I feel that I owe word of explanation to my many friends and patrons who have shown so much appreciation of my efforts" said
 Mrs. Jack w. Johnson yesterday in speaking of the tremendous increase in household commodities during the war Mrs. Jacks Beaten Birscuit,' wher- ever they are known, are recognized as the highest type of good, wholesome, pafstable bread, and particularly are they in demand just now when bread Is generally conceded to be very poor ev-
 erywhere on account of the conservation of wheat so that our soldiers may be fed and cared for both in this country and lover there"
 Mrs. Johnson is now shipping to one of the most exclusive grocery firms in New York dozens of her beaten biscuits every week, already having sent a gross, and they are highly commended and very much in demand.
 ~In Birmingham I cannot supply the demand, Mrs. Johnson said, which is an indication to me that there are a good many people who require good bread. and are willing to pay the price. The increase of 5 cents on a box of bircuits is asked now, because before can start to make them up, I must pay $22 for barrel of flour and the sub stitute which goes with it; SIP is paid for the barrel of flour, while the 60-pounds substitute cost me s10. l have tried every i imaginable substitute-corn meal, corn starch (which was a little better than 1 corn meaD and finally I have used with 1 the best sort of results potato flour. l 25 per cent of it being used in the in- gradients for my beaten biscuit. which makes the biscuit practically the same as they used to be when I used wheat | flour entirely. The increase in the pr1ce {! of lard, too, has added to the difficulty and the only solution is to raise the price of my biscuit.''
 q make up two sacks of flour every day. Mrs Johnson said, and this proves ' to me also the appreciation of my patrons, because if the biscuits were ma terially affected by the substitute, they | would not be as good and people wouldn't want them in such quantities lA Though we are all doing our level | best to conserve wheat, Mrs. Johnson said, "and live up to the Hoover regu- 1 lations in every way, still 1t seems that | in some way we should have some good | bread ana dlteF CdISIu4 SAESi "ASAh cheaper substitutes I feel that l have solved the question, but in doing so have had to increase the price of my bircuits.
 Tn finding the idead substitute, however, | the price of 25 per cent required nearly equals that of a whole barrel of flour and I make this statement to my friends and patrons in explanation of the in crease in the price of my biscuits be- cause I feel that it is due them on ac- count of their loyalty and appreciation | Of my efforts to provide good bread un-
 der the most trying circumstances.

According to a report from Mangan. Mich, the W. c. Ponder who was re- gently cited for bravery on the western front, and who was presented with the French War cross for a daring exploit in the air, is none other than Elmer Ponder, the former Baron pitcher. Pom der Unlisted in the aviation soon after war was declared last year, and by do- ing so abandoned an exceedingly bright diamond career.
 He was sold to the Pittsburg team by Molesworth in 1917 and had already es- ta1lished himself as a regular on the Pirate staff when the call for volunteers came. Ponder and Milligan, another ex-Baron, entered the flying corps, and have since seen considerable service against the Hun. The name of Elmer Ponder. like that of Hank Gowdy, will go down in baseball's hall of fame more honored than any hero of the world series.
