Real Worth vs. Low Cost
If you asked your butcher for
a porterhouse steak and he handed
you a cut of the flank and said,
"This doesn't cost as much and
is just aa good," you wouldn't
believe him, would you?
Yet the butcher's statement
is just aa truthful as an asser-
tion that inferior baking pow-
ders made of alum or phosphate of
lime are aa good aa Dr. Price's,
which is made from cream of
tartar.
Alum is a mineral anid salt,
declared by many medical authori-
ties unsafe to use in food.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow-
der is as pure and wholesome as
the grapes in the vineyard, from
which cream of tartar is derived.
The only reason for UBing such
substitutes aa alum and lime
phosphates is because their cost
is leas to the manufacturer.
DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER
Made from Cream of Tartar
clubs of McKlnney and Fnriuersville
are doing the most wonderful work I
know of. The Owl Club libraries in
the county have lifted the standard of
literature in our rural schools and
too much credit cannot be given to
them for this noble work." lie stated
further that Mrs. I>r Wiley had done
a wonderful work in organizing Moth-
ers' Clubs lu the various districts in
the county. Tills interview with the
county superintendent only touches
the work In a light way, and he states
that after all schools have closed and
statistics are compiled that lit! hopes
to give the public some astonishing
figures lu the Improvement and wel-
fare of our educational Institutions
over the county.
