WHAT IS GOOD ! BAKING POWDER? < When Mr. Edison sent out his fa- 1 mous questionnaire he asked this question, "What do you expect or require J baking1 powder to do ? There were only a very few correct replies received to this question, indicating that the average consumer has given very little consideration or ' study as to wluit constitutes a good baking powder. A careful investigation among a 1 large number of consumers throughout the country has developed the fact 1 that the average person buys baking ; powder as one would a can of corn, i peas or tomatoes, feeling and believ- : ing that it is simply a can of cle- i ments which, mixed with other ingredients, in proper proportion, will pro- 1 duce a definite result, it is this fun* 1 damental lack of understanding gen- i orally on the part of the public which : lias resulted in the general opinion : that baking' powder is baking powder; < that it is all alike and will produce i precisely similar results in the prep- 1 aration of a hatch of material. i This deduction is not correct, as evidenced by the fact that large man- ' ufacturers of baked food and confec- i tionery have proved and demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that their formulas must be built around i the particular leavening product that they propose to use. In other words, these manufacturers do not leave anything to chance, as the average consumer does, in home baking. T'ney build up a combination of ingredients in specitied quantities, based on what the leavening material will do in combination with the other elements. < The average home baker is very prone to attribute an unsatisfactory batch of baking to "bad luck" or to some unknown cause, whereas there are only two outstanding factors that are essential to the success of baking in the home: First, to know that you have a given volume of leavening powder used; second, that the heat units of your oven are exactly what they should be to produce a perfect finished product. There are, of course, other minor factors that may detract from perfect results in baking, hut these two main factors will always nrndnrp a uniform and satisfactory f ? result. The discriminating, intelligent consumer can determine these two important factors in advance?first, by using Ryzon baking powder for her leavening agent, and second, by using a thermometer for her oven. A perfect baking powder must be a slow, steady raiser. It must diffuse the leavening power evenly and thoroughly throughout the entire mixture. The average run of baking powders on the American market today are what is known as "rapid raising powders," and the consumer, from past 1 experience, learns that it is absolutely 1 necessary to rush her batch of baking to the oven in order to eliminate any possibility of the batch "falling" or becoming heavy when placing in the oven. This condition, as developed in the use of the old fashioned baking powders, is due to the fact that the miximum volume of leavening power is developed almost instantly when the product comes in contact with moisiuie 01 water. Many home tests and demonstrations have been made by taking powder manufacturers along these lines, to show the tremendous volume of leavening power that is instantly developed when a teaspoonful or more is placed in a glass of water. Going back to our grandmother's day, when her leavening pioduct was home-made yeast, a combination of hops and corn meal, it was necessary for her to mix up her batch of dough the night before and let it "rise" over night. There was no necessity for her to rush her batch of baking immediately to the oven in order to avail herself of the leavening power.

W I this example, the consumer can readily appreciate that the baking powder, which in its action is similar to that of yeast, is naturally the perfect leavening agent, insuring a finished product that is not only pleasingly palatable ,but digestible and acceptable to the most delicate stomach. A baking powder of this character has much to recommend it in preference to yeast from a health standpoint. Yeast bread, when eaten, goes into the stomach and, in the presence of bacteria, plus heat, plus moisture, rapidly undergoes a process of fermentation, first forming alcohol, then acetic acid, hastened by the action of the gastric juices. The formation and ubsorotion of acetic acid and nlrnhnl renders the body less resistant, with resulting colds, hay fever, etc., and acute dyspepsia. Much of the traditions dating back to the early days of so-called light or hot breads being indigestible and unhealthful was due to the fact that the sour milk and saleratus, or baking soda leavening agent, was not a standardized leavening power, and in the majority of cases produced a heavy, unleavened, indigestible batch of finished product. Many of our eminent medical authorities today agree that hot breads, if properly prepared and leavened, are just as digestible and more nourishing, and certainly more palatable than many colds breads. To produce a slow, steady raising Unking powder requires special and intricate processes of manufacture, which was developed through the efforts of our late Dr. Striekler, who spent many years in working out and perfecting the special process that is used in producing Ryzon baking powder. Home baked breads are a real economy and especially so under the present high cost of most food products, many of which do not supply the equivalent in food value in proportion to home-made breads. An eminent food authority has established the tact that the average American family spends one-tenth of its money for bread and derives one-quarter of its food energy from bread. This means that out of every dollar you spend for food, 10 cents of it goes for bread. From the standpoint of health rnd economy, home baking should be revived in every home. The romance of biscuit baking extends into the long ago. It is not the romance of the modern bride in her modern kitchen making sure against failure baking by using Ryzon, but it goes hack to the romantic days of her great, great grandmother and sour milk and saleratus. What is more appetizing than hot biscuits, creamy and brown and fragrant, fresh with thoir wholesome goodness, lightness and <sase of digestion?

SOYBEAN CROP IS PROFITABLE rcat Difficulty Has Been in Picking the Beans Says Anderson Editor Writing of soy beans as a good crop r>v farmers to plant in Anderson unity. G. P. Browne, editor of the nderson Daily Mail, says in a recent sue that 11. H. Russell has the best old of soy beans I have seen in the unity this season. The stand is good nd the plants are making good rowth. This valuable crop is not appreciat il by Anderson county farmers as it lieuld be. Few crops have as good loney value per acre as this crop lion properly handled. Soy beanfc ill produce three times as many ushels of beans per acre as peas on 10 same soil and will not cost more a handle than the smaller crop of oas. The price of soy beans lias over been less than $2.00 per bushel incc I have been in Anderson county ml the outlook for the next several ears seems to indicate that the price ill remain pood. This crop has not been as popular s it might have been because of the ifliculty in picking or harvesting the eans. This has been true because 0 one paid any special attention to nem. Now there are machines to hresh the beans from the stalks in le fields when they are matured and j JORDAN 1 I ML ; I USED P | | Refininh I - FOF ll $145. a rT~' i i ? ^ j I he above 1" j I sent ihem to be r< 1| We Will oc | Company's office , and after AUGL I % hundred new Edi< j | Our line cor ^ I with unexcelled qi | CHICKERN ! j FRANCESE i FOR ; | $25.oc , I TheEDISOP* JORD I wo I TUNING ?>< * $ *# < at the same time leave the leaves, , stalks or vines, and other litter on the land. As a hog feed there is no better ; and probably few equal to soy beans. > The beans are planted with com and both crops grazed by hogs. Somet times they are gra^rd in the roasting i ear stage and sometftnes are hogged l down later in the fall and winter after they have become hard and the beans popped out on the ground. It has been showed by many farmers and experiment stations that no other crop pro; duces more pork per acre than these crops combined. As a soil building crop soy beans equal peas or other like legumes. o PROBATE Citation for Letters of Administration STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OP HORRY. By J. S. Vaught, Esq., probate judge.
