DROMEDARY KOSHER CAKE
MIKES AID IN BALANCING
FAMILY FOOD BUDGETS

Keeping the family's food bud
get in line is problem as old
as housekeeping itself, and these
days, particularly, rising costs
often complicate the problem for
the Jewish woman, long accus-
toned to serving the finest of
basic foods and as many of the
luxuries as she can manage.
One of those luxuries has al
ways been good kosher cake and
cookies-an abundance of fine
baked goods on the family menu
and more and more women are
now discovering that it's practi-
cally as easy to bake them as buy
them, and a good deal less costly,
too, thanks to the work saving

economy and assured kosher quail
ity of Dromedary Cake Mixes, all

BEWARE OF FLY-BY-NIGHT
TERMITE OPERATORS

This is the season of the year
when termites swarm in most
states and, unfortunately, it is
also the season for another kind
of swarm which is even more
dangerous and costly: the fly-by-
night swindlers who profess to be
eXterminatorS.
Most of the self-styled Eek
perts" have little to offer except
superficial mechanical barriers or
spray chemical treatments which
are only temporarily effective at
best. Some such operators may
make a sincere effort to be of
service but lack the training, ex-
perience and equipment with
which to do the job. Others are
outright swindlers, hoodwinking
the public by Misrepresentation
and fraud.
Some of them have brazenly
claimed to be using a Govern
ment formula" that would posi-
lively exterminate termites. The
Bureau of Entomology of the u.
S. Department Of Agriculture
states definitely that there is no
such thing as a Government for
mula," and that it has never pub
liShed any formula for which
complete determination of ter
mites was claimed.
Thorough and effective treat
ments in termite determination
are only undertaken by reputable
companies after an inspection has
been made. Most companies will
offer this service free and make
you written proposal. AS an
added measure, some extermina-
tors will offer you bonded termite
protection.

WASHINGTON IN - This rosy
