PROPER USE OF
K. c. BAKING
POWDER TOLD

Because of increased efficiency
of K. C. and some other baking pow
ders in use today, representing abou.
80 per cent of the baking powder
consumed, they should be used pro
perly to produce best results.
Knowing that baking powder
leavens cake it is natural to assume
that adding an extra half teaspoon
ful to the amount specified in a re-
cipe will give u cake greater light
ness. The fact is that too much
baking powder may cause sinking in
the center, tough, gummy crust
coarse, dry crumb, or cake that
runs over the pan.
For best results, 1t is always a
good plan to follow two simple
rules: First, always use the amount
recommended on your baking pow
der can. With K. C. one level tea.
spoonful to cup of flour is suffi-
cient. This proportion has been
worked out as best for that particu-
lar type baking powder. Second
measure carefully ~ an excess
amount of any baking powder does
not produce best results. A level
teaspoonful means that you must
level off with knife.
K. C. baking powder, which is ad
vertised regularly in the columns OF
this paper, is manufactured by bak.
ing powder specialists who make no
thing but baking powder-under
supervision Of expert chemists OF
national reputation. The quality is
always uniform-K. c. is depend
able.
The manufacturers will mail, pos
tage paid, copy of the K. c. Cooks
Book if you will send them your
name and address with a certifi
/, cate from a can of K. G. Baking
Powder. Send your request tc

like a bunch of plutocrats, when
the fellow in the green gabardine

settles, Sam comes up from his
hiding place somewhere deep in

the bridge. After stomping a cou-
pie of times to make his presence
known, he strides out to the wings
of the bridge, draws a deep breath,
and strikes straddle-legg stance.
Then, with his feet braced, he
gazes fixedly out to see. For five
minutes or more the only things he
moves are his whiskers and tail.
