Lady A little quick arithmetic shows that during the remaining 362 days of 1953, you'll be making 1,086 meals. Think of that. At the rate of three meals a day, you'll be making nearly 1100 meals. That means a lot of baking, doesn't it? And while it sounds like it will take a lot of time and work, there's a fast and easy way for you to save loads of time and work. It's the Martha White Way. Be sure that you're starting 1953 off with Martha White Self Rising Flour in your kitchen. Martha White Self Rising Flour has wonderful slow acting Oven Magic baking powder already mixed in. You save all the time and work of measuring and mixing baking powder, salt and soda because that's all done for you. And you won't risk baking disappointment because oven Magic makes your baking so much better. You see, oven magic is slow acting. It saves 85% of its rising power for action in the oven. Biscuits, cakes and everything you bake turn out higher, lighter and finer when you use Martha White Self Rising Flour. So remember to make every meal better and to make your baking easier and faster, buy Martha White Self Rising Flour from your grocer Monday. Goodness gracious, it's good.

[June Carter]
