The funds gathered into the Federal Reserve Banks now aggregate
over $1,000,000,000. This vast sum was not
accumulated to earn profits for private in-
terests, nor can it be controlled by private
interests. Its purpose is to assist its mem-
ber banks, of which we are one, in helping
the farmers and nusiness men and to make general banking condi-
tions as sound as possible.

Austin, Texas, Dec. 7.—With the
exception of two of the sub-commit-
tees, the various committees that
have been investigating the state de-
' ' a
partments and institutions have now
practically decided to complete their
reports on December 15, and on the
following. Monday, December 17, the
central committee is . to meet , and
receive the reports, of the sub-com-
mitteejs, and from these compile a
general report, which is to be stib-
j mitted to the legislature with rec-
ommendations. The central commit-
tee will work right on through the
j holidays and make an effort to have
ifs report ready by the first of next
year.
The two exceptions are the com-
mittees investigating tha state penl-
Seniary system and the University
of Texas. These two are not expect-
ed, from present indications, to com-
plete their reports until January 1,
and then their report will have to
be submitted to the central commit-
tee for final action.
Despite the fact that the report of
the central committee may be com-
pleted and ready for presentation to
the legislature, it is not likely the
governor will reconvene the igisla-

To the Editor: Dear Sir—There
has been no Thanksgiving in Bel-
gium this year and there will be no
Christmas for the population gener-
ally but the Dollar Christmas Fund,
of which I am treasurer, is working
hard for the fourth year to make
Chrsitmas day a little less gloomy for
a million poor children. . :
Despite government grants of
money and the noble efforts of the
commission for relief in Belgium, five
millions of the people over there are
obliged to exist on one-third of a sol-
dier's ration per day. As usual the
little children, the young mothers and
the aged are the chief sufferers. I
The United States and allied gov-
emments are loaning Belgium a sum .
of money which permits the purchase { Piclfatyl
of as much food as the available ship- j
ping facilities can transport to'Bel- j
gjum but the amount is woefully in-’ I
adequate. This winter most of the j
coal produced iq Be.gium has been j
carried to Germany, and all signs in-
dicate Belgium even now has reached
her darkest hour.

example of the British who are con- !

That should convince you
that advertising in these
columns is a profitable

probably the reason he is

A Greenwich man tells of a Con-
necticut farmer who, after having ,
driven a lot of hogs to Greenwich,
sold them for precisely what had
been offered him before he left home.
“You haven’t made much by bring-
ing your hogs here,” remarked the
man.
“Well, no," replied the agricultur-
ist, dejectedly, "I ain’t made no mon-

It Pays to
Buy the Best
But every housewife should remem-
ber that the best is not always the highest
priced. Experience has taught me that you can’t always
judge quality by the cost sign.
That is particularly true of baking
powder. Baking powder quality can be de-
termined only by bake day results. The baking powder that
serves you best—regardless of what you pay—is the best to
buy and use. -
I have made a close study and care-
ful investigation of baking powder, because it
is unquestionably one of the most important of baking ma-
terials. It effects all ingredients employed with it
No woman, no matter how careful
her selection of flour, sugar, eggs, etc., can
employ the limit of baking economy if she uses a poorly
made, wasteful baking powder.
Merit, not money, is the only safe
basis upon which to estimate the worth of a
baking powder. Fortunately the housewife no longer has to
conduct costly experiments of her own to determine just which
particular brand is the most efficient and economical. Experts
like myself, make a business of testing baking powders and
accurately arriving at their actual value. We make no mistakes in our
decisions as our experiments are made along strictly scientific lines.
Millions of women are now profit-
ing by the aid offered by domestic scientists.
I know this to be true—as choice is now centered on the
brand of baking powder that I and other domestic scientistrhava
found superior through both chemical and oven tests. It is
becoming more popular every day. Its tremendous sales
increase vt2s not influenced in the least by cost It is a moderate
priced baking powder. Costs considerably less than some other
brands. Still it is preferred by women who could and would pay more
were it possible to secure the desired quality. They don’t buy this
brand of baking powder because of a saving of cost — but because
of its demonstrated superiority. To them it means the greatest
quality value—the greatest purity—and greatest certainty of results
that can be had at any price. Decidedly the best, not because
of moderate price, but because of its unimprovable merit.
In justice to those who read this
article—that they may share in the savings and
baking success assured by the biggest selling and recognized
superior baking powder it is no more than fair that I give publicity
to the brand preferred alike by experts and America’s millions of
housewives—Calumet Baking Powder.

sentiment behind the Christmas gift
Is one which we know from previous
exeprience is as much valued by the
stricken people as the gift Itself and
nerves them to endure unexampled
trials while waiting for the day of de
liverance.
Any sum addressed to me as treas-
urer of the Dollar Christmas Fund,
care of Henry Clews & Co., bankers,
Broad street, New York, will be grate-
fully acknowledged. The same rep-
resentative committee as in previous
years joins with me in begging you
not to forget the Belgium kiddies this
Christmas. They need your help and
Christmas sympathy more than ever.
Help us to cable on Christmas Eve a
sum worthy of the United States.
With your aid we believe we shall ex-
ceed the British contribution, prodi-
gal though it may be for a country
which has been fighting and enduring
from the start.
Yours very truly,
Henry Clews.

Fund for Destitute Belgium Chil-
dren, Broad Street, New York.
