A Lesson from the Past
Years ago, before baking pow-
ders were so well known, the
housewife sometimes made her own
from cream of tartar and soda.
These materials were then
comparatively expensive and pro-
cesses of refining had not.been
devised t‘o bring them to the higji
state of purity of the present-
day well known cream o'f tartar
baking powders , such as Dr .Price' s ;
and yet she never thought of
buying alum, then as now a cheap
and inferior substitute for cream
of tartar. She wouldn't think of
permitting an ounce of alum to
enter her kitchen.
Yet housekeepers are to-day
asked to buy alum baking powders
with which to make food for their
children.
The statement on the label af-
fixed to every can naming the
ingredients of which the baking
powder is composed affords a
method of protection against the
use of undesirable kinds.

There were no new developments in

rumors by the. dozen floated around

facts in the case, hut no authorized
report was given out, and all of the
officers refused to say on what evi-.

The United States' Department of
Agriculture, under date of April 3rd,
has xeht the following letter to all
demonstration agents throughout
the South, towit:
Southern farmer* and business
men are entering the most important
period of the present year, namely,
the planting season, For years the
f ederal Department of Agriculture,
in common with others who know the
v oak nesses of Southern Agriculture,
has urged a sufficient diversification
to make the South self-supporting. It
has worked to influence the South to
change from all cotton to “food for
its people, feed for its livestock, and
cotton."
In every cotton county in the j
South the farmers ought, under this j
plan, to grow theie own gardens and
can the fruits, and vegetables for
home use, to grow their own beans,
peas, potatoes, corn, oats, cane «r
sorghum for syrup, alni their meat
supply from poultry ^.hog* and cattle,.
The livestock is to consume the waste
products of the farm and to bring
profit out of its waste lands. Be-
