A pure, healthful, Cream of Tartar Baking Powder When buying an article of food you are entitled to know exactly what you are buying --its quality and ingredients. If tttis information is refused don't buy it. Some of the low grade baking powders are advertised, but the ingredients of the powders are scrupulously concealed. A housekeeper would not use a baking pow­ der containing alum if she knew it. It is well when buying to examine the label on the can. Unless it shows the ingredient cream of tartar, don't buy it. Dr. Price's baking powder is abso­ lutely free from alum. SCHOOL NOTES McHFNRY HIGHS TAKE GENOA JUNCTION HIGHS INTO CAMP. i l l 1 ad the •k end at poil AMlTIONAL PERSONALS.
