Saves Eggs
Royal Baking Powder makes it possible to pro-
duce appetizing and wholesome cakes, muffins,
cornbread, etc., with fewer eggs than are usually
required.
In many recipes the number of eggs may be re-
duced and excellent results obtained by using
an additional quantity of Royal Baking Powder,
about a teaspoon, for each egg omitted. The
following tested recipe is a practical illustration:
SPONGE CAKE
1 cup sugar
3 cup water
8 eggs
2 teaspoons Royal Baking Powder
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
34 cup cold water
1 teaspoon flavoring
DIRECTIONS: —Boil sugar and water
until syrup spins a thread and add to the
stiffly beaten whites of eggs, beating until
the mixture is cold. Sift together three
times the flour, salt and baking powder;
. beat yolks of eggs until thick; add a little
at a time flour mixture and egg yolks
alternately to white of egg mixture, stir-
ring after each addition. Add }§ cup cold
water and flavoring. Mix lightly and
bake in moderate oven one hour.

New York Women Pay Great Prices for Shoes
EW YORK.—While almost everyone is kicking about the high cost of
living these dolorous days, it may be surprising to some to learn that there
are some folks so reckless regarding expense that the blue sky seems to be
their only limit when it comes to the
purchase of footwear. For instance, a
woman from the sunny Southland stop-
ping at one of the big hotels, accord-
ing to the sober statement of a New
Yorker, recently paid $63.50 for a pair
of shoes. The hotel clerk, who paid
the bill for her.ladyship, nearly fainted
at the price, although popular opinion
accredits those people with being
price proof if anyone is exempt from
such shocks. ;
But the lady from the South did
not by gny means rob the city of its highest-priced footgear, according to
representatives of fashionable bootmakers. For instance, any indulgent hus-
band may pay $75 for his wife’s simple black evening slippers with rhinestone
heels to twinkle in the dance and trample on the heart of man. But it is not
necessary to pay so much even for elaborate footwear. A nice, quiet pair of
boots for a windy day may be had for $45. The vamps of these shoes are of
purple-blue. metallic kid and the tops are light green, embroidered with dull
red flowars. Then there is a pink kid short-vamp shoe, with the top embroid-
ered in gold, which is only $45. :
Having one’s boots made with short vamps makes them more expensive
because the model is French and American bootmakers find difficulty in
copying it. For this reason a great many women are “going in” for the short
vamps nowadays. It costs real money for society women to be well shod.
According to a well-known bootmaker, the average woman has a pair of shoes
for every dress she wearsy some customers buying as many as 100 pairs a year.
“Qur customers order from six to eight pairs of shoes at a time,” said
the bootinaker, “at an average price of $40 per pair. Of course, simple sports
boots, and evening slippers made from customer’s own material cost less.
Prices are going up every day. The only thing for the women to do if they
want their footwear to be less expensive is to have their skirts so long they
can wear pumps or low shoes.”
Boston Post Office Uncle Sam Does Not Own
OSTON.—When sailor boys strike Boston, the first place they lay a course
for, after they get shore leave, is a little post office, as it were, in Water
street, Charlestown, which is not under federal jurisdiction. The post office
; "consists of a wooden case, with a glass
door about four inches deep and about
25 or 30 inches in its other dimensions.
It is fastened on the wall of the game
room, on the second floor of the Sail-
ors’ Haven. .
Over it presides Miss Helen Hunt,
the matron of that genuine home,
which serves the purpose of ‘keeping
young British apprentices and others
not so young off the street corners
and all that goes with them, and fur-
” nishes a lounging place for them in
their “hours of ease.” This post office, of which the glass door is padlocked,
seldom contains more than 30 or 35 letters at a time. There isn’t room to
arrange more than that on display. Then they're gathered up by the con-
signees just about as fast as they're arranged.
, But sometimes, so at apparently is the world-wide faith in the depot
for letters, and so great 1S a boy's habit of not going just exactly where he
announced, letters are not called for. So, stretching back, in instances for a
couple of years, many letters have been docketed and stowed away by Miss
Hunt. '
The docketing isn’t really necessary, for years of practice and acquired
| familiarity with the characteristics—epistolary and otherwise—of her “boys”
has made Miss Hunt able to track much-wanted letters at a moment’s notice,
‘ Her great big heart helps, as well as her head, in this.
The eyes of a pbilatelist would be interested in a glance at this case on
the wall. The letters bear stamps from as far away as India and Australia
and New Zealand. Now and then is one right from the front, “somewhere.”
' There will be many bearing that unromantic libel “opened by the cen-
sor.” And these are not all addressed in the hard-to-decipher German script.
Some have English postmarks.
Convict at Columbus Makes Rubber and Dyes
OLUMBUS, 0.—With a crude homemade laboratory, which he has set up
on his desk in the penitentiary library, Dr. Emerich W. Ritter, formerly
a Cleveland chemist, claims he is extracting rubber, tannin and a red dye
from the bark of the chu tung gree, THER
grown in China. iy

says. It shipped him five pounds of
the bark, the first ever sent to this
country, after Doctor Ritter says he
pointed out to the department that
the bark contained rubber.
The man, who startled the country
on his arrival at the penitentiary last
year by his inventions of “liquid fire”
and -aniline dyes, declares that not
only has he extracted a rubber of remarkable resiliency from the bark, but
tannin, used in the tanning industry, and a dye the exact color of the dye
used in the two-cent stamp.
From a pound of the bark Doctor Ritter says he obtains two ounces of
crude rubber, four and one-half ounces of tannin and three-fourths of an
ounce of coloring matter.
Doctor Ritter says he was first attracted to the possibilities of the. chu
tung bark while in China 15 years ago as a member of the Germany navy. A
great flood of the Jap-Toche-Kiang and Pei-Ho rivers, in whose valleys the
trees grow, destroyed thousands of them and he noted then the resiliency of
the bark.

Little “T. R.,” Chicago Coon, Causes Spook Scare
HICAGO.—Recently servants in the big homes along Sheridan road in the
C neighborhood of Diversey parkway began to whisper strange tales to each
other concerning the home of Luther P. Friestedt. They said it contained a
“spook.” Mr. Friestedt didn’t hear
anything about it until some days
Gl
later. Then one of his own servants
came to him with a hair-raising tale
about some mysterious noises and
moanings that came from the walls in
various parts of the house.
3 “Nonsense,” replied Mr. Friestedt.
Then a night or two later, just
around’ dinnertime, Mr. Friestedt
heard a terrible clatter in the kitchen.
Before he could get up from his chair
all the servants in the place had de-
serted the kitchen and were fleeing in panic toward the front of the house.
“’'Smatter?’ demanded Mr. Friestedt.
“Spooks,” was the reply. “We heard him walking along between the

gave a moaning squawk and that was too much.”
“Let's see about it,” said Mr. Friestedt, as he led everybody down into
the basement. He opened the door of the fruit cellar. And sitting among
a lot of overturned jars with its face all smeared with jam was a baby
raccoon.
And Mr. Friestedt got the surprise of his life when he went to capture it.
The raccoon fought all the servants and the master of the house fo a stand:
still for an hour and a half,
Mr. Friestedt called up Cy De Vry to make him a present of it.
“Huh, that's little “IT. R.’ that got away last week,” said Cy.

Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle
of Danderine Right Now—Also
Stops Itching Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of ‘the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight—now—any time—will surely
save your hair. :
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear-
ance of abundance; an incomparable
gloss and softness, but what = will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks’ use, when you will actual-
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair—new
hair—growing all over the scalp. Adv.
