JAt one of the club meetings last sek this conversation took place, “£>id we ever go through that stage, •under,” said three lovely matrons, njfpthers of “flappers”. I suppose so, bi)t I believe our flappers ‘flap’ more t^an wfe did," “By the way,” said ojjp of these bright women, “have you tird the latest definition of the ppor?” The Looker On spoke up, ‘J*fo tell us,” “Well, I think it is a fipod one,’ she said, “the definition ‘white face, red cheeks, dirty neck a||d bobbed hair’.” Time. * (By Marguerite Wilkinson) 2ne is God’s tenderness Id in hours and ages, Tfce sinner’s cleansing fear, The sure, proof of sages. Times’ work is powerful, Ingenious end true, Making snow out of rain And rain out of dew, Making cities out of towns And deserts out of cities Teaching by rqjpw wars Millions of pities. Time can lift a forest up Where lies a bare field Or show the naked lie That truth has concealed. » Goals in my long desire Time alone cap reach, And time can cure the sorrow That finds no ease in speech. Spring Comes. . A snow drop, that first pale blos som of th? year, lifts its pure head from the wet earth; pussy willows venture forth from their polished cradles and a flock of blue birds wings glad promise across the wind swept sky—Springtime and happi ness. Cone is the dark Winter of our dis content, for the returning year has put a spirit of youth into everything. There ara problems enough, God •knows, and sorrows and tragedies and failures—but there are also spring and youth and love and laughter. These are the great creative forces of life. For truth is not necessarily grim or gray. Romance does wear a shining cloak. Beauty appears in humdrum lives as frequently as pain. We believe this, we believe that life as a whole is good and fine and wholesome, we believe that within the humblest souls lie heroic possibilities. Apd happiness begins at home. The atmosphere that surrounds a man’s hearth is carried with him through the day, coloring his thought and work, influencing him in a thousand ways.—Selected. Library Association Meets.

We are always pleased to show you, whether you buy or not. J. C. McNeeley & Co. Betty Wales'Oresses. Gossard Corsets. From time immemorial, leavening' gas has made the “touch” which made the paste of flour and water a digestible food—the staff of life. A flat and soggy loaf or biscuit is an unleavened food. So it is that leaven ing agents such as yeast or baking powder are employed. To insure to the American housewife complete leavening of her biscuits, cakes, muffins, etc., which is so impor tant to perfect digestion, the pure food authorities found it wise to require a cer tain -standard of leavening strength in baking powder. To maintain this guaranty of digestibility^— * « to insure minimum deterioration of learn ing strength, baking powder is packed in tin. This prevents absorption of atmospheric mois ture. Dampness produces premature reaction in the can—results in loss of leavening gas. ' The food official, would properly condemn bak ing powderif packed in cheap sacks. But what about self rising flour? It comes to the southern housewife from remote northern mills packed in porous bags. What happens to this mixture of baking materials and flour? Chemical analysis shows that much of it has lost its leavening strength before it reaches the consumer. Breadatuffs made with such self-rising flours cannot rise properly—they come to the table heavy, flat, and soggy. , Why don’t the pure food officials demand that self-rising •flours contain 05% leavening gas, the equivalent to the 12% required of baking powder? Calumet Baking Powder is scientifically and legally cor rect—the last spoonful is as pure mid sure as the first Packed in tin—'keep* the strength in v THESE WANT AD’S BRING Results V $5 REWARD FOR SCOTCH COL lie dog which has strayed.
