CREAM
Baking Powder
Purity in food, lower cost of living
these are the demands of the day.
Pure food is health, and health is economy itself. We can
not have health without healthful food.
The most healthful foods are the quickly raised flour foods
biscuit, cake, muffins, crusts and other pastry when perfectly
made from wholesome ingredients.
Dr. PRICE'S baking powder makes these foods in specially
attractive, appetizing and wholesome form, and for both
economic and hygienic reasons, such foods should be mor
largely substituted for meat in the daily diet.
But bear in mind that alum, or
unwholesome baking powder, can
never make pure, wholesome food.

llnlnrtl.
At the regular veckl. meeting of the
Oinhfi 1'olnry club hold ostetday W.
O. I're. county and clt treasurer, spoke
about a plan umler consideration to con
solidate. the state, rottnty and city taxes
of all description, so that alt would fall
due. upon two definite datea during tho
, year. Instead of a man finding', as ho
does now. thot he has tAxes of otic form
' or another 'contlng due practicably ovcry
! month of tho year, they would all be.
payable at ono Mace, upon one definite
date, each spring and each. fall,
i Tntler this plan the titxpaycr would
a!to receive, a bill for his taxen and
j could In turn malt his check for the
amount In'stend of going to the court
, hotio rittd wrtltlng his turn to havo them
looked u,. only to lenrn-lha very next
day tlMt a new tax has fallen dun In
the Interval.
Under tho present system expenditures
are madn and the money to meet the ob
ligations l not collected until about
eighteen irionths later. This, of course,
necessitates merchants and those selling'
to tho county whiting many mouths for
their pay, resulting In higher priors and a
carrying charge being levied In one foim
or another.
'This new .system,' said Mr. I're, "will
enable us to mako a more dr,fi-,lte state
ment ta any time of the continuity's
true financial condition, and will obvl
ously reduco the cost of handling the
business and result In a lower tax for
every property holder Jn the county."
The municipal affairs committee of the
notary club consisting of E. II. Ward,
Harry fcoch, A. J. L'ggers and Ilarley H.
Moorhead was requested by Mr. Ure to
co-operate with him In bringing about'
the best situation of tho tax business to
the betterment of the pocketbook of all
concerned. ;
The notary club Includes in its member-'
ship only thoso who are proprietor;,
corporate officer or manager of the busi
ness he represents In tho club and with'
Its seventy odd members Is vitally Inter-
jested In Improvements of ntunklRal nf
.fairs of this nature tlioueli taking no part
i whatever In politics.
The municipal affalis committee of th
notary ciuu was the flist committee of
any organization to call upon the city
commissioners and offer the co-operatloti
of the Hotary clUb Hi the solving of city
problems. Severn! commissioners hnve
discussed buslnesn of the city before the
i cum and when Mayor Uahlman was re
; questing various organization to appoint
committees to'stand In readiness, to con

The heating was adjourned to 0 o'clock
