In fact, very many, women woefully uninformed on the sub-Jcct sub-Jcct of baking powder. Evidently tlio B housewife docs not appreciate the value of baking powder lier kitchen and In her baklnpr, or she would have Informed 1 herself. This is a subject that is quite Important. j "A great many of tho housowlvcs . today have followed their mothers or Krandmolhera In tho use of baking pow-j pow-j dcr, which In some instances Is a mls- I take. There has been just as much lm- 1 I provement In baking powder as In other 1 commodities. I am glad to find that 1 baking powder bas kept up -with tho I j times. "Somo housewives have been led to 1 believe that the orcam of tartar pow- dors aro the best goods to use. This Is a mistake, roBulting no doubt from the constant efforts of tho Twenty Million 1 I Dollar Baking Powder Trust to crcato a 1 ,i projudlco against all goods save their 1 own.

Tho result in baking Is pure, wholesome food, without any harmful residue There is no reason why any houscwlfo should pay Ec or DOo per pound, Tho bcBt baklng.powdcr made can bo manufactured manu-factured so as to rcta:l at about U this price."
