Whooping Cough.
“ When my daughter # h a <1
whooping eougli she coughed so !
hard at one time that she had hem
orrhage of the lungs. I was ter-
ribly alarmed about her condition.:
Seeing Chamberlain’s Cough Rem- j
edy so highly recommended. I Lrot i
her a bottle and it relieved the j
eougli at onee. Before she had
finished two bottles of this rein-j
edy she was entirely well,*’ writes !

She Knows What She Wants
The well informed housekeeper
objects to the use of alum in
food. She might read in an ad-
vertisement or be told that it
was all right in the quantities
used, but in the end she would
merely ask, ”Do you mean to say
that these baking powders con-
tain alum?”
If the answer, however quali-
fied, were in the affirmative,
"that would be enough. She would
not buy it. Why?
Because she knows that cream
of tartar has always been accepted
as the most wholesome product for
raising cake and biscuit, and she
wants a baking powder made of
cream of tartar, like Royal.
This conclusion is the result
of unconscious absorption, either
her own or her mother's, of the
opinions of the highest authori-
ties on hygiene and home cooking.
The prudent housekeeper looks
at the ingredients printed on the
label. She knows what she wants.
