IDC Worth Careful Thought Do you read the label to know whether your baking powder is made from cream of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum or phosphate? Royal Baking Powder is made from cream cf tartar, derived from grapes, and adds to the food only wholesome qualities. Other baking powders contain alum or phosphate, both of mineral origin, and used . as substitutes for cream of tartar because of their cheapness.

(Pres Staff Correspondent) The weakness of the National League brand of baseball as compared with the snappy brand dished out by the American League, pointed out by the United Press in the last World Series, was admitted today by Governor John K. Tencr, President of the National League. It isn't Wil bert Robinson who is so much to blame for the loss of the World Series, according to Gov. Tenrsr, but is due to the fact that the players who made up the National League club were wholly unable to do the things which might have won ball games. It would have been useless, Tener contends, for Robinson to follow tactics other than the ones he did follow. The fielding, Governor Tener agrees, was some thing awful and the Brooklyn club never has a chance against such a grand organization as the Red Sox. Tener, however, is extremely optimis tic and he believes that before tho time comes for another world series his league will be strengthened to such an extent that it will give its rival opposition of the sternest sort. Work is now being done, he declares, which will give the National League undoubted strength. The National League prexy agreed that there were several clubs in the National League at the close of the last playing season which would have given the world ser ies fans a better run for their money than did the Dodgers. He didn't name these clubs, but it. was evident he does not believe the best club in the National League won the pennant. A F all. "One swallow doesn't make a sum mer,"" replied the Wise Guy. "No, but the history of the Garden of Eden shows that one apple once made a fall," replied the Simple Mug. REPAPEM YOUR HOME An Expert Tells You How to Freshen Up Your Walls After the Summer Vacation So They Give Cheer and Comfort For Wintry Months Just Ahead. WHEN a wall with Its paper U to be a background it must, lu the first place, give sup. port to what Is hung on it. In the second It must give richness, , Interest and harmony without being assertive, Just as the background In a picture. All plain papers do not make an equally good and manageable back ground; neither will the same paper look the same In two different rooms. In the first place, the character, col. or and texture of the paper Itself must be considered, and, in the Becond, one must take Into account the exposure, the amount uud kind of light entering rife room for which paper, even plain paper, la to be chosen. Of the three primary colors, - from which ull others are derived, red and yellow are known as "warm" or "ad vancing," while blue Is styled "cool" or "receding." On the walls of a room the advanc ing colors, or colors In whose composi tion they predominate, haven tendency to "come at you." so to speak, and they also contract tho apparent size of a room. On the other hand, the "cool" or "receding" colors. In which the blue element predominates, dn not come at yon, and they Increase the apparent size of the room. This quality is shared also by grays In which there is little or virtually no blue. In calculating upon the exposure or source of light In rooms the composi tion, of the colors In the paper must be kept In mind. A north light will generally need warmer color than will other expo sures. Another thing to remember Is that a mass of plain paper Is apt to look deeper In tone than a sample. If pos sible, therefore, get a large piece to hang up aud verify your Judgment be fore having the wall papered. Plain paper will generally be suit able In halls, dtulug rooms, libraries, living rooms and parlors, but no hard and fast rule can be formulated, nor la one desirable. When the wall Is to be a decoration keep pictures and other ornaments off It. The rrallable possibilities In this field Include the many excellent mod era reproductions of Interesting old French papers with classic cartoons, used continuously nr else as panels with plain paper between, the pic torial and landscape papers, the Chi nese patterns, the old English printed linen adaptations and many others that are exceptionally beautiful tn col or and design. To Shrink Cotton. It Is better to shrink the material be fore making up. Fold tho cloth smoothly and place In a tub or other large receptacle. Pour enough cold water to cover. When the material Is thoroughly saturated pour In hot wa ter, gradually Increasing the tempera ture until the water Is as warm ns the hand can stand. Leave two or three hours. Pour off the water and press as much out of the material as possible, but do not wring. Hang on a line In the open air, stretching nut smooth and pinning along one selvage. n To Avoid Chipping Dlshoo. A splendid economic devico Is to ap ply a piece of rubber hose an Inch and a half long to both lint and cold water faucets In tho kitchen sink. This pre vents a chance bump against the metal faucet breaking or chipping dishes, It will save many a piece of china from the unsightly and expensive nicks which so often occur and are so disliked by good housekeepers.

Mf f Mf MfMfMfMfMfMfMfUfUfMfMfMfMfMfMfMrMfMf ABOUT HUBBY'S DAILY LUNCH Does Your Belter Half Economize With a Sandwich and Food Drink, or Does He Gorge a Four Course? The Wisdom of Light, Nourishing Midday Meals. TUB next time friend husband recalls what mother used to make and scoffs at the huuiblo family menu let his good wife inquire, "Dear, what did you have for lunch today?" Tills question may probably disclose the fact that, while husbands are prone to criticise the home table, they do not choose their business meals with even that much common sense. The average business man Is at one of two extremes. Either he spends two hours ou a full course dinner at midday at his favorite grill or chop house or he is of the other class who believe a noon meal Is a waste of time and who satisfy any primordial gnaw- lugs by a cake of chocolate or a food drink. I.Ike any other extreme position. neither of these Conceptions of noon eating Is rational or hygienic. Rarely ever- can tho busy executive take out nearly two hours for the purpose of satisfying his hunger and thirst. The heavy several course meat meal In the middle of the day undoubtedly with most Individuals causes soggl- uess and the 2 o'clock "fatigue curve." Since it takes about two hours to di gest such n meal, the brain worker cannot be at his fittest lu the hours succeeding a meal of this kind. On the other hand, no worker of any type can do good work on a soli tary sandwich or piece of chocolate. Given the distance from place of busi ness which many men have to travel In the morning, with attendant scanty breakfast, it follows that at noon both body and mind need a moderate amount of nutrition. What, then, shall friend husband choose for lunch? He must steer his way between the Scylla of the sand wich and the Charybdts of the noon day dinner. Instead of Intrusting his organism to the doubtful value of a cup of coffee and a slice of pie, or to a glass of hastily made bouillon with a few crackers. It Is possible from even a modest bill of fare to select what Is nourishing but not taxing. Similarly the man of more ample pocketbook need not order a steak with trimmings, sausages and hot cakes, po tatoes, vegetables, pie and cheese. If the bill of fare offers a good soup, like lentil, pea, tomato bisque or beef, a geuerous portion of this will do as a tarter. This can be followed by a sandwich; If It Is of the right kind, not watery bread with a shaving of ham, but a thick, well buttered slice with more than a sample of a meat filling, a fried egg or generous slice of cheese. A third dish, If rightly chosen, would make this a good lunch such, for in stance, as cup custard, tapioca or other pudding, or custard or lemon pie, gen roily dear to the masculine palate. Instead of this three piece comblna tlon a two dish menu of the following type can be chosen: The inn. In dish should be of the baked bean, potple, stew or similar type, In which a small bit of meat Is combined with a larger amount of pastry, vegetable and gravy, The most acceptable number after this would be some of tho fruit dishes, like apple pie, baked npnln, prunes, etc. In higher prlcru ciiling places similar good dlbes me found lu chicken wings and rice, hot nilin ed turkey sandwich, small serving of llsh or the various casserole dishes so popular In the for eign eating houses. The idea Is to choose nourishment tn small bulk, to be sure to have one dish or dishes that will give sufficient protein or muscle value, and In the other dishes to choose Btarch, fruit and flavor. There Is no more excuse for the gluttonous noon meal or the equal ly unwise scanty lunch for friend hus band than there Is for the Inadequate cream puff -chocolate lunch of the busi ness girl.
