jTcur baking powder is made from cream
cf tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate ?
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is
raade from cream of tartar, derived from
grapes, and adds to the food only whole-
come qualities.
Some baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-

No man can peaceably value. Obtainable everywhere.
By J. 3. Cullinan
Chairman Texas Economic Leagu*
The three important subjects which
the Texas Economic League has list-
ed for first consideration are Citizen-
ship, Administration of Justice and
Preparedness. Probably the most im-
portant of these is Preparedness.
Government Is a triangle and Pre-
paredness, Administration of Justice
and Citizenship are the component
parts with Preparedness as the base.
Unless we prepare there will be no
Citizenship, no Justice, no govern-
ment. e
Our government is now passing
■ through a supreme test of efficiency,
and it is for the citizen to say what
he expects of government. In my
opinion, government should do some-
thing more than collect taxes and
Issue warnings. It Is the duty of gov-
1 ernment to protect its citizens on land
and sea. and our government has no
more right to refuse to do so than a
citizen has a right to reiuse to pay '
taxes, it is not a question of opinion !
—it is one of necessity, bnt no nation ;
can protect its citizens unless it has
the guns.
The President is correct In his pol- house and while here ordered the
Icy of preparedness and protection, j Banner-Ledger, with his compli-
and no thoughtful citizen can afford lliell1S) to Miss llollie Teet at

efficiency. When our government
permits liberty and freedom of its ‘
citizens to go by default, it has vio-
lated its peldge to the people, as |
much as if it took liberty and free- .
dom from them by force. There can
be no government without force. A
court without a r'.ieriff is nothing moi|
than a debating society, and a modern
government without an army or navy
is no government at all It is a help-
less tribe of people.
Real men are animals—not angels. '
They always have and they always will > which tied the best mail and on
fight. The causes of war will never the second day he killed only six,
be removed until the human race is
removed. Human nature cannot be
dismissed from mankind, for in every
infant it will be born again. Many
psychological causes have been ad-
vanced for wars.
Irish tradition that
Ing craze the world
fight. The League
ment concerned in
causes of war, as stern realities de-
mand first attention, for the liberties
and rights of a citizen guaranteed by
the Constitution have been denied our
people.
Nation’s Duty to Protect Citizens.
Government
force, and wi
government,
possess a thing of value unless In
some manner he can defend his title
by force. Our government denies the
citizen the right to use force, and in
disarming the individual enters into
a contract to protect the rights of a >
citizen by force, and. if necessary. '
to kill and destroy persons or nations
that interfere with the rights of its
citizens. It has no option in the mat-
ter. It is its first obligation.
This nation is facing a world crisis,
and world opportunities. The des-
tinies of the human race are at the
moment more nearly in the hands of
the American people than any other
earthly power, and our government
should aCopt a policy in dealing with
the forces of civilization that will es-
tablish permanent world peace. So
far as this continent is concerned, in
my judgment, the twenty-one Repub-
lics should be organized for: First,
peace and protection. Second, each
Republic should assign not
Ing one per cent of its
tion to army and navy duties,
that at least sixty per cent
male population of each such Republic
should be trained to military disci-
pline and duty; such training period
not to exceed two years, to be held
thereafter as reserves In case re-
quired for the defense of their coun-
try or the defense of the continent.
't would further seem highly desir-
e'.'c that applied to the United States
a declaration of principles be made
covering Federal policies; such, for
instance, as the Monroe Doctrine,
from which no State should be per- i
mltted to depart after such have been |
voted on and approved by a majority :
of our people.
The President’s plans, as I under- |
F’-nd them, call for an investment !
of ?'.oo.000.000 over a peri-wi of five ;
▼ears. 1 ^o not think that is sufficient. |
It seems to ine we should shape plan'--
for a continuing • -nenditure. if neec
be, of $5.000,000,for such period,
and by co-operath g with the other
twenty American Republics, and pos-
sibly Canada, adopt a policy oi
matching dollars with the balance of
the world for the purpose of defense,
and protecting liberty, life and prop- j
I erty, at much less cost than under-
