When buying an article of food you are
entitled to know exactly what you are buy-
ing-its quality and ingredients.
If this information is refused don't buy it.
Some of the low grade baking powders
„e advertised, but the ingredients of the
powders are scrupulously concealed.
A housekeeper would not use a baking
powder containing alum if she knew it.
It is well when buying to examine the
tabel on the can. Unless it shows the
ingredient cream of tartar, don t buy it.
Dr. Price's baking powder is absolutely
free from alum.

Letters of Appeal
President
to the
Madame Bakhmeteff, who has sent
the following letter to the president,
is an American and the wife of the
Russian ambassador at Washington.
She spent many years in Greece and
Bulgaria and has been asked to rep-
resent their Red Cross societies
here.
"November 6, 1912.
••To His Excellency. Pres. Taft,
"President, American Red Cross,
"Washington, D. C.
"Dear Mr. President: In addition
to the general appeal to the Amer-
ican people which you are sending
out to alleviate the sufferings caused
by the war in the Balkans I should
like to state that I have received a
cable from the queen of Greece say-
ing that the need is great and in-
creasing and asking me to send di-
rectly to her all the aid I can gather.
I also represent the Bulgarian Red
Cross and am informed from there
lhat conditions are equally terrible
and that the need of assistance is
moet urgent.
"The rigorous Balkanic winter is
closing in upon the poor, unprepared
people and thousands of sick and
wounded may die for want of a little
help. Hospital supplies, clothins,
and many other things are greatly
needed.
"I have lived many years both in
Greece and in Bulgaria and have as-
sisted at many scenes of hardship
and suffering and know by experi-
ence that Buch appeals coming from
tl-.ere can not be exaggerated and
demand a quick answer and I de
voutly pray that they find an echo
in all Christian hearts. Any con-
tributions that may be sent to me
I will forward directly to their des-
tination through the American lied
CroBS with the names of the charit-
able contributors who can designate,
if they wish, the country they want
to assist whether it be Greece or
Bulgaria.
•'Yours most sincerely,
••marie bakhmeteff."

"November 6, 1912.
"To His Excellency, Pres. Taft,
"President, American Red Cross,
"Washington, D. C,
"Dear Mr. President: Having been
charged with the mission to repre-
sent the Servian Red Cross, It is my
duty to appeal to you, as the hon-
ored president of the American Red
Cross, for aid in meeting the over-
whelming needs of our Red Ctobs
brought about by the present war
"The Servian Red Cross, one of
the earliest established societies, is
exceedingly efficient and well-orga-
nlzed. Our society has rendered aid
at home and abroad, In many wars
and catastrophes that have occa-
sioned suffering to helpless people.
Only lately it sent a generous do-|
nation to the Red Crescent Society
of Turkey for the relief of the Buf-
fering from the earthquake on the
Bosphorus. But no organization,
however efficient, can meet the ter-
rible demands that war brings upon
it With three million inhabitants,
Servia has put an army of 300,000
in the field, all of whom since the
17th of October have been engaged
i„ almost daily battles which have
cost not only many lives, but whoa,
other victims, thousands of wound-
ed lie in cur hospitals, while large
numbers of the sick and wounded
prisoners require and Will receive
the same treatment accorded to our
own troops.
"Suffering will be greatly increased
when the Balkan winter, with Its
heavy snows and bitter winds, sets
in as it will in a few weeks. There
is'not an able-bodied man in Servia
who has not offered himBelf for ser-
vice in the field. Our women, young
and old, are woHtlng for the Red
Cross, but without the sufficient hos-
pital supplies so greatly needed to
prevent dreadful suffering and un-
necessary deaths.
"We therefore appeal to the Anier
k-an Red Cross, and through it to
ti.

it an armistice should be declared

must still be cared for, and our Red

Washington, Nov. 15—A plan to
admit ex-presidents, ex-vtce presi-
dent* and ex-speakers of the house
to the floors of the two houses of
congress, with the privilege of de-
bate but not of voting upon pend-
ing measures, was broached here by
William J. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan's statement was coupled
with a declaration that he favored
a change In the time of convening
congress, so that the new sessions
would begin Bhortly after new mem-
bers took office, March 4. He de-
clined to discuss the outlook for an
extra session when President-elect
Wilson assumes office next spring,
saying: "The president-elect is con-
sidering the subject of a special ses-
sion, and I do not care to advise
him through the newspapers."
"The question is often asked,
'What shall we do with our ex-
presidents?'" Mr. Bryan said. "Now
that we soon will have two ex-presl-
dents and three ex-vice presidents,
it might be worth while to consider
what means could be employed to
