How to Detect the
Alum Baking Powder
"Which are the alum baking powders;
how can I avoid them unless they are named?"
asks a housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can of a low
priced powder in your hand and read the
ingredient clause upon the back label. The
law requires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated. If you find
one of the ingredients named alum, or sul
phate of aluminum, you have found an alum
baking powder.
There is another and a better way. You
don't have to know the names of the alum
powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only;
that assures you a cream of tartar powder,
and the purest and most healthful baking
powder beyond question.

A Correction.
Since the beginning of the organi
zation between the several teams of
the county, the R. S. Reds have shown
themselves to be superior, in many
ways to the other teams in ball play
ing. They have lost one game only
during the season and three of the
best players of the team were not
able to be in the game.
Russell Springs is justly proud of
her winning team and congratulates
them upon their great success in ball
playing. There has not been one time
during the season when a visiting
team went away from Russell Springs
saying that they were not well treat
ed. This speaks well for the high
class work which the Reds have been
doing in athletics.
On the 22ud of November, 1913, the
R. S. Reds played Jamestown the
warmest game of the season in which
there were many exciting features.
At the close of the second half of the
game the scores were even. After
resting the limited time the teams
went back on the ground to play off
the tie. They played loud, long and
strong for several minutes without ac
complishing any thing, but at last the
crisis came when the referree called a
foul on Jamestown. Jamestown failed
to go on the grounds any more and
thereby forfeited the game. The Reds
now hold the pennant of the county.

The December American Magazine.
The most interesting contribution
to the December American Magazine
is a wonderful Christmas story entitled
"Miracle Mary" by John A Moroso, a
New York newspaper man, in which
moving pictures turn out to be the
means of proving an innocent man's
alibi thus saving him from a long
term in the penitentiary for a crime
which he did not commit.
David Warfield, the celebrated actor
writes in the same number an inter
esting account of his life. Peter Clark
Macfarlane writes another article in
his series entitled "Those Who Have
Come Back" stories of men and wo
men who,disgraced or failures at forty,
have recovered their powers and be
come useful, respected members"of so
ciety. This month Mr. Macfarlane's
article is entitled "The Madonna From
Whitechapel," and is the account of a
lost woman who saved herself.
Fiction of remarkable vitality and
interest is contributed by Arthur John
son, Hugh S. Fullerton, Frank Bark
ley Copley, Henry Wallace Phillips,
and Inez Haynes Gilmore. Humorous
contributions are contributed by
George Fitch, Stephen Leacock and
James Montgomery Flagg. The "In
teresting People" department and
''The Interpreter's House" are up to
their usual standard of excellence.
