AN ALL-AROUND SAVING
Thanks to the War, housewives have
been given some unforgettable lessons
In common sense. Minute saving and
penny saving have gained new signifi-
cance.
One vital aeonomy which has Im-
pressed i:<self upon thousands of prac-
tical women is Quick broads—the new
and better way of supplying the staff
of life, always recognized as more es-
sential than bullets.
While the pre-war methods which
so frequently suggested the use of
yeast were far ahead of the pre-h's-
toric practices of soaking grain in wa-
ter until softened, then making into
a paste and baking into a hard, gran-
itic cake, the necessity of using bak-
ing powder with substitute flours in
the various war recipes has antiquated
the old, slow, cumbersome methods
which for centuries have handicapped
cooks, without sacrificing taste, tex-
ture or technique.
Quick breads mean a saving of time
and when made of high-grade ingre-
dients are also of better quality and
more economical.
The use of baking powder prevents
a continuous loss of a small percent-
age of flour from which there is no
escape when yeast Is used.
One of my friends writes of her ex-
periences and how she was won over
to the new way as follows:
"Through my desire to 'Save Food
and Help Win the War,' I became in-
terested in an unusual advertisement
for Calumet Baking Powder In which
It was claimed that dough left over
from the evening meal could be placed
in the refrigerator and used for break-
fast biscuits with gratifying results.
"Early training had taught me to
consider yeast as the only leavening
element worthy of my time and trou-
ble in baking. I laid aside my preju-
dices and was delighted to find the
problems which formerly worried me
are now so easy, and today seem al-
most unreal. I am filled with a new
zeal to "cook since I gained the help
of this time-saving product."
Even though the world is again fol-
lowing peaceful pursuits, the purchase
power of a penny is much less than
it was a few years ago. Housewives
can only meet this unusual condition
by heeding the lessons whieh the War
has taught them, including the tests
that have proven the folly of judging
values by outward appearances, such
as the size of the package or looking
at quantity rather than quality, etc.,
for example—a 10-cent can of Calu-
met will furnish more leavening than
the Big Can of double its size of some
cheap mixture, manufactured by hap-
liazurd methods.—Adv.

ing responsible for delivering the
latter.
The league of nations Is accepted by
the allied and associated powers as
operative, and by Germany In prin-
ciple, but without membership.
Similarly an International labor
body is brought into being with a per-
manent office and un annual conven-
tion.
A great number of International
bodies of different kinds and for differ-
ent purposes are created, some under
the league of nations, some to execute
the peace treaty. Among the former
Is the commission to govern the Saar
basin till a plebiscite Is held 15 years
hence.
The high commissioner of Danzig,
which is crentcd into a free city un-
der the league, and various commis-
sions for plebiscites in Malmody,
Schleswlg and East Prussia are pro-
vided for.
Among those commissions to carry
out the peace treaty are the repara-
tlons, military, naval, air, financial and
economic commissions, the Interna-
tional high court and military tri-
bunals to fix responsibilities and a se-
ries of bodies for the control of Inter-
national rivers.
Certain problems are left for solu-
tion between the allied and associated
powers, notably details of the dispo-
sition of tho German fleet and cables,
tho former German colonies and the
values paid In reparation.
Certain other problems, such as the
laws of the air and the opium, arms
and liquor traffic, are either agreed to
in detail or set for early International
action.
Italy Promised Flume.
As a basis of resuming participation
in the peace negotiations Premier Or-
lando accepted a proposal that Italy
administer Flume as a mandatory of
the lea true of nations until 1023, after
which Flumo will rovcrt to Italian sov-
ereignty.
During the four years of Italian ad-
ministration a harbor for the Jugo-
slavs will be built at a port a few
miles lower down the Adriatic coast.
The harbor will have railroad commu-
nication with Agran and other cities.
Italy, It Is understood, also Is prepar-
ing to make sacrifices of some of her
other claims on the Dalmatian coast.
Italians Back at Peace Table.
Paris, May 8.—Vlttorlo Orlando, the
Italian premier, and Daron Sonnlno,
the foreign minister, arrived In Paris
from Rome Just in time to be present
at the presentation of the peace treaty
to the Germans at Versailles.
jThe Italian premier arrived at the
rarli "White House" Just as the coun-
cil of four reassembled and resumed
his seat In the council.
Trust Me! Try Dodson's Liver Tone!
Calomel Harms Liver and Bowels
Bead my guarantee! Liven your liver and bowels
and get straightened up without taking sicken-
ing calomel. Don't lose a day's work!
There's no reason why a person
should tuke sickening, salivating calo-
mel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone—a per-
fect substitute for calomel.
It Is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you slclc and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because It Is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It Is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomcl today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a day's work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver
Tone instead and you will wake up
feeling great. No more biliousness,
constipation, sluggishness, headache,
coated tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says If you don't find Dod-
son's Liver Tone acts better than hor-
rible calomel your money Is waiting
for you.—Adv.
He Loved the Khaki.
The officer father had just been mus-
tered out and when he appeared In
"civvies" his elghteen-months-old son
failed to recognize him. In khaki had
(he father first been introduced to the
baby and the baby refused to acknowl-
edge the acquaintance in other dress.
"Papa all gone!" he cried sadly, over
and over again—and when the parent
insisted—"No! No!" declared the
baby, "papa all gone!" "At least he's
not a pacifist," was the father's con-
soling remark.
FOR TIGHTNESS
IN THE CHEST
Thedford's Black-Draught, Says
Kentucky Lady, Is Excellent
For Breaking Up a
Cold.
Elgin, Ky.—Mrs. Albert Albright, who
has lived here many years, says: "I
use Black-Draught as a laxative. It Is
splendid for breaking up colds. I have
used It for a bad cold and tightness In
the chest. One cup of good warm tea
made from Bluek-Draught I found most
neipful. Tr makes the liver act and
gives almost Instant relief.
This spring my little daughter began
having pbEhsliicg kind.
After the chills her fever would rise
and her head would ache. We are a
good ways from the doctor, so I Just
began giving her good doses of Black-
Draught and It cured her. She Is In
good health, has a good color, and her
appetite Is all right. So of course we
consider Black-Draught as unsurpassed
for a family medicine."
Don't wait until you have headache,
aick stomach, indigestion, or other dis-
agreeable symptoms, but take an occa-
sional dose of Black-Draught to help
keep your system free from poison,
your body In good health.
Made from purely vegetable Ingredi-
ents. Black-Draught acts In a gentle,
natural way, and has no bad after-
effects. It may be safely taken by
young and old.
Try Thedford's Black-Draught—Adv.
Quite Unlike.

LIFT OFF CORNS!
Apply few drops then lift sore,
touchy corns off with
fingers
The same hammer that breaks a
piece of I rim in two can lie used to
weld two pieces of Iron into one.
There is nothing In which people be-
tray their character more than in what
they find to laugh about.—Goethe.
Doesn't hurt a bit! Drop a little
Freezone on an aching corn, instantly
that corn stops hurting, then you lift
it right, out. Yes, magic!
A tiny bottle of Freezone costs but a
few cents at any drug store, but Is suffi-
cient to remove every hard corn, soft
COi'u, Oi CO!"u between tile iue«, uiiu 111e*
calluses, without soreness or Irritation.
Freezone is the sensational discovery
Qt a Cincinnati genius. It Is wonderful.
An Easy Promise.
"John," said the wife, tenderly,
"promise me that If I should be taken
away ymi will never marry Nancy
Tarbox."
"Certainly, Maria," replied the hus-
band reassuringly. "I can promise you
that. She refused me three times
when I was a much handsomer man
than I am now."
Palpably False.
"Paw, here's a new puzzle I heered
in town," stated Coonrod, eldest son of
Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. "A
farmer said he had thirty dogs and
killed 'em all in five days, killing an
crdd number each day. What's the an-
swer?"
"The farmer lied; that's all," re-
turned his sire.
"Ah, bow do vou know? Somebody
must have told you."
"I don't need to be told. No farmer
that ever I knowed, if lie had any
sense, would kill any dogs a-tall, any
time."—Kansas City Star.
Constipated Children Gladly Take
