RED CROSS KNIGHTS.
"I will be a Red Cross Knight!
I will wear the Sign!
I will help the godly fight
With the strength that's mine!
Some may blow the stirring fife;
Some may win a sword;
Some may give a precious life
Fighting for the Lord.
"But at home my task is plain—
Not the field for me.
"I may knit and sew and fold;
I may save and give
Pennies, dollars, notes or gold
That our boys may live.
"Take the Cross and lend a hand
In the goodly fight,
Children of a gallant land,
Each a Red Cross Knight!"

design a fit token of the respect in Ï

his work the florists decided to make
it in the shape of a trestle.

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
Do I prefer a pure baking powdef.lW
Royal, made of cream öf tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources ?
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind yon
are now using or any brand , new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or' merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no
nor phosphate.
