At least that is the way Mrs. Ed- The High Cost of Living Reduced Much has been said about the high cost of living, its causes, and the possibilities of its reduction. But little has been said about the most costly leak? the false economy existing today in nearly every household.

Much Foodstuffs are bought with but one point in view; "How cheap can I get it?" without a thought of quality or "after cost' One of the most serious is baking powder. By the use of perfect baking powder the housewife can derive as much ccon- omy as from any other article used in baking and cooking. In selecting the baking powder, therefore, care should be exercised to purchase one that retains its original strength and always remains the same, thus making the food sweet and wholesome and producing sufficient leavening gas to make the baking light. Very little of this leavening gas is produced by the cheap baking 'powders, making it necessary to use double the quantity ordinarily required to secure good You cannot experiment every time' you make a cake or biscuits, or test the strength of your baking powdr to find out how much of it you should use; yet with most baking powders you should do this for they are put together so carelessly they are never uniform, the quality and strength varying with each can purchased. Calumet Baking Powder is made of chemically pure ingredients of tested strength.

Experienced chemists put it up. The proportions of the different matt-rials remain always the same. Sealed in air-tight cans, Calumet Baking Powder does not alter in strength and is not affected by atmospheric changes. Tn using Calumet you are bound to have uniform bread, cake or biscuits, as Calumet does not contain any cheap, useless or adulterating ingredients so commonly used to increase the' weight. Further it pure, wholesome food, and is a baking powder of rare merit-therefore is recommended by leading physician and chemists.

Tt com' plies with pure food laws. STATE and NATIONAL. goods are moderate in price, and any lady purchasing Calumet from her grocer, if not satisfied with it, can return it and have her money refunded The manufacturers of Calumet Baking Powder have just prepared anew edition of their handsome Cook Book. and will gladly mail it Tpitryrie Tj?
