W HO doesn’t love old fashioned ginger snaps—
those nut-brown cookies with that tang of spice
and fresh molasses ? Light enough to be health
ful, spicy enough to be appetizing, tasteful enough to
make you want to eat a whole jarful—how the folks will
enjoy them if they’re made from good self-rising flour.
It’s real fun to make ginger snaps, hurry-up cakes,
doughnuts, waffles and dozens of other delicious things
if you use self-rising flour. Like plain flour, it comes in
a number of different grades and sella at variou* prices—
the grade determining the price you pay. To save you
time in cooking and to insure you light, tasteful bakings,
pure phosphate baking powder has been added.
Buy self-rising flour that carries the blue symbol of the

bag of self-rising flour means you are buying pure, health-
