BUSINESS LOCALS She Knows What She Wants The well informed housekeeper objects to the use of alum i in food. She might read in an advertisement or be told that it all right in the quantities used, but in the end she would merely ask, "Do you mean to say that these baking powders contain alum?" If the answer, however qualiPied, were in the affirmative, that would be enough.

She would not buy it. Why? Because she knows that cream of tartar has always been accepted as the most wholesome product for raising cake and biscuit, and she wants a baking powder made of cream of tartar, like Royal. This conclusion is the result' 'of unconscious absorption, either her own or her mother's, of the opinions of the highest authorities on hygiene and home cooking. The prudent housekeeper looks at the ingredients printed on the label. She knows what she wants.
