This is the harder task. 1 do not handle much money for 1 am impractical, but 1 train the bankers children. That is my job. i Ido not select candidates for office, for teachers must not dabble in politics, hut I teach history and government to future officeholders. (I acknowledge that I do a poor job.) 1 listen patiently while a fond mother explains that Willie is “really an unusual child” and needs special consideration and attention. I am not a doctor, but I am supposed to bp an expert on eyes, tonsils, ears and adenoids. 1 am supposed to be an impartial judge, but 1 am constantly reminded directly or indirectly that my job is in danger unless 1 pursue a certain course of conduct regardless of facts. I like books and love children. This is unfortunate, as both cost money. My salary is inadequate, but I am constantly reminded that my "profession” ranks next to the ministry in salary and importance. 1 am impractical enough to be happy in my work, though the wolf is just around the corner, for 1 know that, teachers are mentioned in the Bible—and even there they are doing their own laundry work. (Rev., 7th Chapter, 14th verse, “These are they which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white.”) I am the teacher. — Colorado School Journal. > ..

Jtre uou too old to break a habit ? by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst The sales-manager of The Heekin Company and I arc really awfully good friends, but we do argue frightfully. The other day we were talking about habit. The sales-manager said that women are slaves of habit where baking powder is concerned. He said that all women used either the brands their mothers used, or the brands they first tried themselves. And he said they were afraid to change. Then he sOid, “After any woman reaches a certain age, she’s so set in her habits, that she won’t change any of them.” Now, I’m not terribly young, but I certainly consider myself progressive. I’ll leave it to you—are you too old. to try a superior baking powder that saves you money? Are you too old to change to a baking powder that is guaranteed to make your baking successful? The baking powder I mean is Heekin’s. I know that a better baking powder cannot be made. I have baked with it, and so have my assistants. We have never had one failure where Heekin’s was used. I have analyzed it—no purer baking powder can be made. (There are no foreign ingredients added to Heekin’s to create an unnatural effervescence or to give a false impression of quality.) And Heekin’s costs much less than any other that even approaches it in quality. As I told the sales-manager, if we simply tell all women how wonderful Heekin’s is—that any woman will get excellent results with it; that it is the favorite with thousands of women—then every woman will be eager to try it. And, just read this guarantee: If you bake anything—using Heekin’s—that doesn’t turn out to your entire satisfaction, list the ingredients in whatever you bake, their prices, and the price of the baking powder, and the total amount will be sent you by The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. There is no red tape to this offer. Simply send the list and your name and address. Buy a can today and try it. You’ll like Heekin’s. Hr L • 14. '
