Practical Economy
Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trifle less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If a cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bak
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

Bissing in Belgium Only
to Guard German Interests
Amsterdam, Nov. 29. "I am not in
Belgium to martyrize the population
nor mete out punishment, but only to
further the Interests of Germany In tha
most comprehensive way," says Baron
Von Bissing, Governor of Belgium, In
an interview published in the Dussel
dorf Tageblatt. He adds:
"We are doing this according to our
best judgment and conscience, and I
think it a great achievement that this
country, just behind the lines, has been
kept free from revolt. I am an old
soldier and should not like to use arms
against this unarmed population.
"I consider that I am serving the
Emperor and the Fatherland to the
best advantage when I cause the least
possible German blood to flow here and
the fewest possible Germans to be
withdrawn from our front lines to
watch over uelglum."

toms and the religious bigotry of its
ancestors. The Inhabitants are ruled by
a "Prefect," whose word Is absolute

husband, Is brought about in a manner
which must be seen to be understood
and enjoyed. On Friday and Saturday

People of Pennsylvania were to-day
called upon to "shop early" and mer
chnts to "sell early" by Commissioner
of Labor and Industry Jackson in a
warning about the hours of labor for
women and minors in the mercantile
establishments of the State during the

material to accumulate in basements.
The Commissioner says:
"Inspectors will co-operate with the
heads of establishments explaining to
them the requirements of the law and
prosecutions will be instituted When
violations are discovered.
"Women may not be employed more
than six days a week, fifty-four hours
a week, or more than ten hours In any
one day. If women are employed long
er hours, the law is violated, whether
the store is open and the clerks are
waiting on customers or if the doors
are closed and the clerks are engaged
in taking the 'after holiday' Inventory.
"Girls under twenty-one years of age
may not be employed in store or fac
tories after 9 o'clock at night nor be
fore 6 o'clock In the morning. When
an establishment Is closed for a legal
■holiday females my be employed, dur
ing such week, two hours a day over
time for three days, b'ut the working
hours for the week must not exceed
flfty-four.
"Child workers between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen may not work
more than fifty-one hours per week and
eight hours of that time must be spent
In continuation schools. Such chil
dren may not be employed later than
8 o'clock at night nor before C o'clock
in the morning nor may they be em
ployed more than nine hours In any
ane day. No children under fourteen
may be employed In any establish
ment."
Studious "Newsie"
Wins Federal Job
Brockton, Mass., Nov.. 29. Max
Rafkln, known to all his friends as
"Monte," is a boy who has made good.
From a newsboy he has graduated
to an important clerical position with
the Bureau of Construction and Re
pair of the United States Navy De
partment, and has already reported
for work.
For years "Monte" had sold papers
at Main and Crescent streets, one of
the busiest corners In the city. He
made good selling papers, Just as he
has made good in everything else he
has undertaken in his young life.
He attended school all the time he
sold papers. He graduated from the
Brockton high school in 1915, and
then went to a business school In Bos
ton. It was there that he made up
his mind to take the Civil Service
examinations.
He took the examinations last
April. A few weeks ago he heard
from the Government. Then ho
learned that there was a Job waiting
for him in Washington.
He's gone to take the Job. And his
friends here are convinced he will
make good, for "Monte" Rafkln has
made good as a "newsie,"

Should Elect President
GEO- E. CHAhfiEglAlNl
Senator George E. Chamberlain, of
Oregon, will offer early In this session
of Congress an amendment to the Con
stitution providing for direct election
of the President. He pointed out that
although President Wilson had a plu
rality of some 400,000 popular votes,
a change of a few thousand in Califor
nia might have defeated him.
This Fish Story
Cost Him $lO Fine
Pittsfleld, Mass., Nov. 29. Ameil
Speass paid $lO In the District Court
for catching a trout with his hands.
Speass was hunting and when he
stopped at a brook to wash his hands
saw a fat trout lazily sunning him
self and, with a sudden grab, caught

"There's a Reason"
EGGS ALMOST OUT
OF COLD STORAGE
State Officials Find That There
Are Few Left Even in the
Larger Cities
According: to figures obtained at the
State Dairy and Pood division offices
there are just about enough eggs in
storage in that city to supply one egg
to each person in the county of Phila
delphia for the next ten days.
Dairy and Food Commissioner James
j Foust figures out from the reports of
I cold storage warehouses In that city
[ that on the date of the last report, Sep
tember 30, there were 173,612 cases or
15,208,360 dozens of eggs and that on
the last day of November there are
110,866 cases or 3,325,980 dozens. It
Is the smallest stock farm In cold stor
age at this time of the year and it is
expected that the stock will all come
out either from demands of trade or
because of expiration of time limit for
storage.
The Philadelphia Warehousing and
Cold Storage Company Is reported to
have had the most eggs and It has sent
out almost a million dozens since Oc
tober 1 and the Industrial Cold Storage
and Warehouse Company has released
about 800,000 dozens, many of which
have gone for export. The Linfleld
cold storage plant In Montgomery coun
ty and the Pottstown plant held 621,120
dozens on October 1, but now they
have but 262.000 dozens.
Meat Scraps Disappear,
Dog Population Is Less
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 29.—The high
cost of living is driving the dogs out
of St. Louis. Meat scraps, the appe
tizing tidbits for dogs, went out when
soaring prices came in.
There are 1100 fewer dogs in St.
Louis now than A year ago, because
it is moro expensive to feed them.
License Collector Alt last year sold
licenses for 20,049 dogs.
This year he has sold 18,948 dogs
licenses.
High prices have meant less dogs.
