Business Will Continue to Improve Gradually Says Forecast For March Issue By the First National Bank.

Those who have had cakes ruined by jarring the stove, slamming the oven door or a heavy footstep, may have wondered how the dining car chef can turn out such marvelous biscuits, hot breads and pastry when his oven is being incessantly jarred and jolted and shaken by the motion of the train. To get pastry to raise and stay raised under these conditions, a baking powder must be used that continues to give off its leavening gas that sustains the raise until the dough is baked through.

Dining Car Chefs have found a baking powder exactly suited to Ihcir needs In K C and you will find it just as well suited to your requirements. K C is really a blend of two baking powders, one active as soon as moistened, the other requiring both moichire and heat to start thetfeneration of leavening gas. No matter how moht and rich you make your cake, K C Baking Powder will sustain the raise until a crust is formed and all danger of falling is past. K C Baking Powder is pure and healthful. It is guaranteed under all pure food laws, and is guaranteed to please you. And it is sold at a reasonable price no baking powder should sell for more.

Inial of a sudden hooni in business is made in the business forecast for March just issued by the First National bank of .suth liend. The forecast says that a steady and consistent growth In business conditions can be expected during' the next few months hut that there vill be no sudden Hare of prosperity. The employment situatiori will ae alleviated to a certain extent and there- will be noticeable decrease in the amount of wacs paid to labor according to the report, a part of which follows: Diplomatic exchan-es passin.tr between this country and Fngland and this country and (Jerrnany are creating some business unrest and doubt. It is not remarkable that during the progress of such a gigantic war the busintss men of neutral countries should keep an ear to the ground constantly. This is merely business caution, but the scout who keeps his ear to the Ki'ouml all the time will not icconnoiter many positions or make many reports. A reasonable caution is to be commended but a constant listening for the thunder of trouble is unnecessary. The anticipation of trouble is almost always more serious than the realization. Fright over the cotton situation caused the creation of the cotton pool fund. The pool was dissoled because applications for loans were so few, demonstrating that the pool was probably unnecessary. Treating Credit Jlalantv with liurope. The finhncial editor of ane of our leading metropolitan publications stood before an audience some time ago and tremblingly and fearfully outlined the possible consequences of a demand on the part of Furopc for immediate pavpent of our entire indebtedness to tier. As less than per cent of that entire indebtedness was due only that amount could have been demanded and such fears ware groundless. We passed through the period of settling our current obligations without serious consequences e. nil we are creating a credit balance with Hurope at the rate of more than a billion a year. If the foreign trade conditions for the remainder of this calendar year should continue as they have started, Kurope will either pay us during the ear or owe us at the end of the year more than a billion dollars. To offset this, she may. if we force the prices of American securities high enough, unload those securities on which she has the opportunity to take a profir.. Otherwise she must settle with us in gold. A cHreful following of stock market operations and of large private sales of securities during the past few months gives no indication that Kutopean investors are dumping their American holdings and it is not reasonable to suppose that they will sell them until prices reach a higher level. Ihe leading financial journal of Kurope states: 'Instead oT being a debtor for immediate payments, America is rapidly becoming, if she lias not already become, a creditor for immediate payments.' Keducc Number of Unemployed. "The number of unemployed is being rapidly reduced but with the reiuction in unemployment will come wage reductions and, unfortunately, the workers of the country must accept a reduced wage as the investors of the country must accept a reduced return on their investments in the form of dividends. On the whole, the labor world is at peace with the cmploying world and the number of serious strikes is very small. Wage reductions have been put into etfect by some concerns, notably in lumber, cotton, steel, paper and embroidery lines. It s possible there mav be a few wage increases but the tendency for the remainder of the year will naturally be toward lower wages in those lines where wages have already gotten beyond a point justified by present conditions. "The talk by thot ghtless persons of a tremendous business boom' and of a 'carnival or railroad buying should pot be taken seriously. This present situation is decidedly no carnival and is far from a boom. As our wisest men see it, we are experiencing a steady and dependable improvement in conditions and the end of the year should find us enjoying normal times and reasonable prosperity."

WASHINGTON. M;iivh 1. Two ,listoverieff. loth f vast importance to American industries and one regarded alo as a priceless military asset, were announced Sunday l.y Sec'y of the Interior Lane. Thoy are chemical iroeesses developed after years of reasrarch at the Columbia university ly Dr. Walter F. Kittman. chemical engineer of the bureau of mines. One is expected to enable oil refiners t increase their output of gasoline by JIMi prr cent. The other makes possible the production from crude petroleum of toluol and benzol, liases for dyes and hiuh explosives and especially smokeless powder, for which in the past, the Culled States and ihe rest of the world has depended almost exclusively upon Cicrmany. The first proe ss means that with an estimated production on the part of the independent refiners of 1 IV oe.eeo barrels of gasoline i:i a ear. the independents alone may have an output of oK.OiMVK'U barrels, mvatcr than th toisil production today nun all SOlilCt s. Cor All tin- People. Application, has been made by l)r. Ilittmann on behalf ofthe t'edial government to patent tin se proi ese in order to pitxent any monopoly in their use. the patents, to be dedicated to the w hole Aim rican p':ojr. "These processes. said Se: "y Cl e toilay. "are fraught itli the rtmoi Impoit.-mce to tlu- poop of this ooiintry. Kor soiti time ih Stand '.rd M1 company through the grat amount of money at its command, throrvh its employ of expert ehemi.-ts and through its extensive organization ha had ;. big advantage oi"- the hubpendents in the produ.'tion of gasoline, this co:iip-n having a patented process that obtains for it as much as thne limes the amount of gasoline from a gien quantity of petroleum as the inde pe ndents now obtain.

There are two or three" other largo corporations that have4 an efficient process lor the manufacture of gasoline, but the indepemhmts as a whole have never been able to even approach the' results obtained by the Standarel Oil company. "Now the federal government, through the efforts of Dr. Kittmann, proposes to make free fer the use of all the people ef this e-ountry who wish it. a process that is confidently expected to increase their yields of gasoline from crude- potroleum fully 2 00 per cent and perhaps more, such results having been repeatedly eibtained in the laboratory. Procos Is Sal'er. It is elaimcd by Dr. Kittmann that his process is safer, simpler and is meire economical in time; than processes now in use ami these are1 ecoimmic factors of meat importance. With a steadily increasing ele-manel fer gasoline for automobiles, motor boats ami engines, thia fortunate discovery comes at the proper time. ,Twe years age the automobile industry, fearful that the supply of gasoline might net be adequate fer its rapidly expanding business offered thorugh the International association of Recognized Auto-mobile clubs, a prize ef $1U',000 for a substitute for gasedine that would e-ost less than gasoline. Happily the urgency eif this situation has passed and at the present time there is a plentful supply of motor fuel to me-et immediate elemand. "This new pre. cess adds to the hope that, in spite eif the wonderful growth in the use of gasoline, there may not be any shortage in the future. "It will render fre e for use of all the results of that efficient research which has he-ret of ore he-en oniy at the e-ommand of the wealthy. "I am led to belie ve that it will not only be of inestimable alue to the refiners commanding but limited capi

tal as well as those of wealth, but also te the hundreds of thousands ef users of gasoline. "When it is realized that the gasoline industry each year in this country includes proelucts amounting in value to between $100,000,OUO and $iro,U0O,0Co, the importance of this eliscovcry is seen. Second of (Jre'at Valu. "Thf second process eliscee.ered by Mr. Kittmann may prove of much greater value to the country than the first in that it suggests the establishment of an industry in which Germany has heretofore been preemine nt, the dye- industry and also promises indirectly a measure of national safety of incalculable import. "Among necessary ingredients of high explosives used in modern warfare, toluol and benzol are in the first rank. Heretofore these products have mainly been obtained in Germany and England from coal tar and explosive manufacturers have had to depend largely em the supply from these sources in the making of explosives.
