Worlds Pure Food Show Gives High
o., est Awards.


Calumet Baking Powder received the
highest award at the Worlds Pure Food
Exposition held in ChicagO November,
1907. This is quite compliment, con-
sidering that it had to be better in Pur.
ity and Quality than any of the other
brands.
The great progress that the Calumet
Baking Powder. Co. has made In the
past twenty years is due to the fact that
they are the only manufacturers in the
world putting out strictly high grade
baking powder at moderate price.
This, together with the fact that Calu-
met Baking Powder Co. is in no way
affiliated with the Trust, has won for
it millions of friends and patrons.
Wholesomeness and price are the two
first essentials in a food product. The
very fact that it received this highest
award will settle forever in the minds
of the public the purity question.
That it retails for csc per pound, or
about onehalf the price of the Trust
brands, is positive proof that the price
is right.
Calumet Baking Powder is chemically
correct; therefore, the food prepared
by it is absolutely free from any injur-
Gus substance. 1t gives the best and
most uniform results. 1t never loses its
strength, and the last teaspoonful is
just as good as the first
The Calumet Baking Powder Co. has
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
best baking powder that can be manu-
featured should retail for 25c per pound.

conditions, being manufactured in

lousy clean and sanitary. 1t is equip
ped with all modern machinery and is
one of the largest factories of its kind
in the United States.
The materials used in making Calu-
met Baking Powder are the finest and
purest that money can buy. They are
selected with the greatest care, and sub
mitted to a rigid analysis by expert
chemists.

food.
Every can of Calumet Baking Powder
is put through a rigid chemical and
practical test before it leaves the fac
tory.
By receiving this award, Calumet has
established a standard by which all
other baking powders will be judged,
for it means that Calumet Baking Pow
der is positively the best in ever respect
that can be manufactured.

Not many weeks ago the Detroit

postoffice fight at Caro-, drawing their

political finish was predicted score

stop Cutting the Corners.

There are few street corners in Owes
so or any other city for that matter,
which will not bear mute witness to the
need for needing bit of advice which
the Saginaw Courier Herald Egiyes con.
corning practice which it right fully
condemns as meretricious-the practice
of cutting across corners to save step
or two, with the result that the beauty
of many well kept lawn is marred.
The Courier Herald says:
"Citizens generally are anxious that
the grounds surrounding their homes
may appear at their best and the prac.
tice of cutting corners is one Of the
hardest to meet or attempt to over
come. In the old countries lawns are
fenced off but in America this is re-
garded as step backward and the
tendency has been to remove all
fences. AS result pedestrians have
cultivated the trick of cutting corners
and wearing bare paths through parks
and lawns, There is no merit in the
habit. 1t saves no time and is care
less example. And besides it does
much to efface the beauty of q well
kept lawn.

poilation of theirs.

CANDIDATES LIMITED ON SIGMA.
TURES ON PETITIONS.
For September Primary. In Shial
wassee County Must Have
Not Less Than 81 Nor
More Than 161

Prospective candidates for nomin-
alton at the September primary will
be interested in that provision of the
primary law, as amended last year
| by the legislature, which provides
| for petitions for candidates. In the
old law any man to become a can
didate for nomination must secure
on his petition not less than two per
cent. of the vote of his party in the
county for secretary of state. But
the candidate gould get as many more
than the two percent as he wished,
and an effort was made by most can
didates for nominations to get all the
names they possibly could on their
petitions in order that they might
have. their support at The primary
election.
The last legislature amended the
law so that in the future. no man
can be a candidate at a primary, I'M
less he presents a petition in his own
behalf that shall contain at least two
per cent of the votes cast at the pre-
ceding election in his county or dis
trict by his party for secretary of
state. But the law says that no Pc
titiOn can contain the names of more
than four percent of the votes cast
at the preceding election for secre-
tary of state.
Applying this provision of the law
to Shiawassee county, we find that in
1905. there were 4O10 votes cast for
the Republican candidate for secre-
tary of state. Two per cent. of that
number exceeds so, so that 81 would
be required. Four per cent would
exceed $50 so that not exceeding
161 names would be the limit of
names for any candidate for NOM
ination by the Republicans of Shia-
wassee county for any county Of
flee.

BEATTY INSPECTS
REFORM SCHOOL
Says Typhoid Fever Outbreak
There Resulted From Fly
infected Milk.

DR.. T. B. Beatty, secretary OF the
state board of health, has made report
to the board of trustees of the state in
dustrial school concerning the epidemic
of scarlet fever and typhoid fever at the
school.
DIR. Beatty states that the prevalence
of scarlet fever is due to the first case
introduced into the school. the cause OF
which is unknown.
Before ii was possible to diagnose TINS
case a number of the other inmates had
been EXPOSED to the contagion- DR.. Beat
ty REPORTS that the officials in charge and
the physicians employed are using every
effort to handle the scarlet fever stua-
ton. and he mas no recommendations 10
add to their present course of action.
DR. Beatty says the typhoid fever re-
suited probably from fly-infected milk.
The cows which furnish milk for the
institution were pastured and MIXED upon
premises where there was a case OF ty-
phoid Dr. Beatty left instructions with
the superintendent to provide against fur
Their infection from this source.
He also takes occasion to demonstrate
manner in which the female inmates of
the school are locked in. Each room has
a separate lock and the corridors are so
arranged that in case of fire II would
be impossible to liberate all of the in
mates promptly. In the event of fire
il is probable that but a small number
of the inmates could escape unhurt. DR..
Beatty urges that system of locks be
installed which will enable each door to
be opened from a central location at the
same time.
