Psychologist discloses that the sheath
gown was popular among the ladies of
the Nile 10 centuries before the Chris
tian era. One gown was made OF fine
linen, adorned with elaborate designs.
The professor thinks that the slit in
the side was intended to display the
wearer's precious anklets. These an
cient ladies also dressed their hair
elaborately with puffs and padding.
They painted their faces and lips, as
shown by rouge and pomade jars. All
of this is reassuring to man who may
have thought that some of the modern
developments of the dressmaker were
without precedent in their eccen
tricity. Once more is demonstrated

BAKING ECONOMY

BY the use Of perfect baking powder the
housewife can derive as much economy as
from any other article used in baking and
cooking. In selecting a baking powder,
therefore, care should be exercised to puE-
chase one that retains its original strength
and always remains the same, thus making
the food sweet and wholesome and produce
ing sufficient leavening gas to make the
baking light.
Very little OF this leavening gas is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, max
ing it necessary to use double the quantity
ordinarily required TO secure good results.
In using Calumet Baking Powder 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, IL produces pure, wholesome food
and is a baking powder of rare merit;
therefore, is recommended by leading ply
sicians and chemists. 1t complies with all
pure food laws, both STATE and Ma
TlONAL. The goods are moderate in
price. and any lady purchasing Calumet
from her grocer. If not satisfied with il can
return it and have her money refunded.
