MUST HAVE LABELS TO GET
CHRISTMAS CARTONS.

The time is getting short for the
shipment of Christmas packets over
seas, but we have yet to hear from
any residents of Baraga county who
have received the labels for the pack
cts.
The Baraga County Chapter Of the
Red Cross announces that it will re-
ceive one hundred OF. the empty car
tons in few days, and efforts will be
made to get more if they are needed,
but no one can receive them without
first presenting the label from the sol
der. Those who do get the labels
can make application to the nearest
Red Cross branch and they will be
supplied with the carton. All pack
cts must be mailed by November 18th
through the Red Cross officials, so if
you do not receive your label before
this date you will be denied the priv
ilege of sending packet in this man
ner. ~
However, we fear that many will be
disappointed by not receiving the
necessary labels, and for the benefit
Of those persons we beg to submit the
following information. A Red Cross
official notifies US that Marshall Field
& Company of Chicago have branch
store in Paris, France, and those who
want to send any remembrances to
their boys across the sea may do so
by placing their order with the Chica-
go store. The order is then trans
mitted to the foreign branch and the
goods delivered direct to the fighting
man. Get in. touch with this store at
once so as not to disappoint the boy
away from home if you do not re-
ceive his label.

How the perfect pancake
formula was worked out

Years ago the Aunt Jemima people realized
that when woman mixes pancakes herself
she could never be sure how they would
turn out Some days they might be good
but other days, when she thought she had
done everything just the same the cakes
would turn out fiat, tough and soggy.
To give every woman way of making cakes
that aitv0y5 come out wonderfully always
light and fluffy and tender - Aunt Jemima
Pancake Flour was created.
The treasured recipe of a famous Southern
cook was adopted as the basis of the for
mula. Long study was put in perfecting
it. Especially ground and blended Aours
were used-Aours that you could not buy in
a store. And finally, since good pancakes
need sweet milk, that was added, too Gin
powdered FORM.
No wonder Aunt Jemima Pancakes have
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-12-13

such an unusually delicious favor
wonder 120 million Aunt Jemima break
fasts were served last year!
So quick and easy and so nourishing
Aunt Jemma Pancakes have just the nutri-
tious, wholesome elements that your family
needs-ther gluten percentage is unusually
high. They have the food value that gives
youngsters strong bodies and plump, rosy
cheeks.
Have Aunt Jemilna Pancakes tomorrow
and some other day have the Buckwheat
Cakes (Aunt Jemima Buckwheat Flour
comes in the yellow package). Try waf1les
and mullins made with the Pancake Flour,
too, they're delicious. Read on any Aunt
Jemima box top how to get the famous
