Avoid the Cheap and big Can"
Baking Powders.

The cheap baking powders have
but one recommendation; they GER
tainly give the purchaser plenty
of powder for his money, but it's
not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up Of cheap materials that
have no leayening power. These
powders are SO carelessly made
from inferior materials that they
will not make light, wholesome
food. Further. these cheap bak-
ing powders have very small
percentage of leavening gas;
therefore it takes from two to
three times as much powder To
raise the cake or biscuit as it does
of Calumet Baking Powder. There
fore, il the long run. the actual
cost to the consumer Of the cheap
powder is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders

BRIDE TAKERS SCORNED
Illinois Democrats Repudiate Action Of
Legislative Members OF New Party
with Itching Palms.

Springfield. ILL.,. July 2O.-Democrats
from all parts of the state gathered
at Lincoln today and in vigorous terms
denounced the action of those Demo-
cratic members Of the state legislature
who deserted their party's choice for
United States senator and cast their
votes for William Lorimer.
In resolutions. the convention de-
clared:
We, as representatives Of the de-
mOcracr of Illinois. do proclaim to the
nation and to the world that we do not
accept responsibility as a party for
Lorimer's election to the Senate, and
unhesitatingly condemn the Democrats
members OF the general assembly for
their action and denounce the same as
being their individual action and re-
pudiate each and every Democratic vote
for Lorimer."
Senator Albert Isley of Newton said
while the ballot on the resolution was
being taken:
No Democrat could have voted for
LOrimer without violating his fnstruc-
tons, betraying his party and stultify-
ing his own conscience I believe in
placing the blame where It belongs and
even have some sympathy for Lee
O'NeH Browne. who is being made the
scapegOat and a football by men
