LOOK BEYOND THE LABEL

The pantry list contains quite as
many items that are valuable to the
cook according to their good spelling
qualities as 1t does of articles that are
valuable because Of their good keeping
qualities. So 1t often happens that
such claims as sleeps always" won't
SPOIL" ETC., as read every day In adj
vertlsements would mean, If true, that
no service could be expected of these
products.
For example, take matches-the
match that won't spoil is not match
but stick. Its only use is its spoil
ing. Another item that gives still q
better example Is that Of baking pow
der which years ago was considered
by many as a food but In reality Is
not food but merely a preparer OF
food; still, through misleading adver-
tisements many people have been led
to believe that they eat baking pow
der, but this is not the case. Like the
match, baking powder must spoil" In
order to serve.
So, keeping qualities may be impor-
tant only as they insure spelling quail
tiles, which merely means that such
items must be manufactured so that
the spelling will not take place pre-
maturely and fail when used.
Thus, it is that a small box Of
matches may be cheap at cents COM
pared with a box double the size at
6 cents, or quarter Of pound can
Of baking powder Of the type that
only requires one level teaspoonful to
the cup of flour (such as calumet)
will go further than 12-ounce tin
Of low-grade goods, sold for the same
money. The size Of the package or
the attractiveness Of the label mean
nothing. Values must be measured by
the service they give. It's the only
safe way today-Adv.

the national executive committee of
the socialist party which states that
the socialist party Of the United
S.a:es has a!.-aaA i.se!. NTH the most

socialist movement"
Just what that means may be gath
cred from the following extracts from
the statement:
In Germany. Austria and countries
similarly situated its sympathies arc
with the more advanced socialist
groups. 1t demands the immediate re-
peal of all repressive war legislation,
complete amnesty for all political pris-
oners, and restoration Of full peace

Wet republic of Russia and the Com
munist government of Hungary

socialist party is utterly opposed to

date repeal Of all restrictive war leg
islation now as it opposed all war leg
islation when enacted.
In another column it assures its
readers that Petrograd is safer than
Chicago, that there is no disorder but
even too much order. that with no po-
lcemen in Moscow and the streets un-
lighted one can traverse the streets
with perfect safety. no drunkenness.
bloodshed, theft are in the streets of
Petrograd and Moscow, people are well
dressed and we'll shod, operas and the
aters are crowded, and then goes on to
say that "the food question is very Sc
rious" and asks America TO extend q
helping hand 10 the famished popula-
tion"
The thing is a plea for bolshevism,
Leninism and Trotskyism. 1t should
be denied the mails and It's authors and
faithful followers be sent 10 enjoy the
benefits and extreme felicities OF the
Russian utopias of which 1t so glibly'

PLAN FOR HOME LOAN BANKS.

General interest is being manifested
in the plan for organizing a system OF
Federal Home Loan Banks. The Uni
ted States department Of labor reports
inquiries from all parts of the country
in the bill to be introduced at the pres
ent session of congress.
The impression exists in some minds
that the banks. when established
would make direct loans of govern
,n.nI funds 70 persons desiring to bu:ia
homes. This is a mistake. The plan
contemplates the organization Of Fed
eral Home Loan Banks az clearing
houses for building and loan associa-
tons, which would then be able to real
ize on their long time mortgages, and
thus to meet increased demands fol
loans. The associations clearing thru
these banks would be stockholders In
the institutions.
According to the plan group o.
building and loan associations coule
combine for the organization Of a Fed
