Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Ba-
kino Powders

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his mon
ey but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are so
carelessly made from inferior materials
that they will not make light, wholesome
food. Further, these cheap baking pow
ders have very small percentage of leav-
ening gas; therefore it takes from two to
three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the
long run, the actual cost to the consumer
of the cheap powders is more than Calu-
met would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached and
acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline, and
always unpalatable. They are never of
uniform strength and quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome ba-
king powder like Calumet, that is at the
same time moderate in price and one
which can be relied upon? Calumet is al
ways the same, keeps indefinitely and
gives the cook the least trouble

Will Write No Memoirs.

Many Americans as we'll as English
in high stations in London were re-
lieved on learning that Sir George
Lewis, who knows more of the secrets
OF rank and fashion than any other
person living, has retired from the
law. promising that none of these Sc
crets shall ever become known. The
condolences rcposed in him became a
quarter of century ago too impor-
tant to be trusted to writing, and he
then quit keeping a diary. Now he
announces that he has written no me-
moirs and will write none. He has
been adviser in most of the celebrated
scandal cases for 40 years. He fig
ured in the Tranby Croft case. in
which he summoned the present king
as witness. Labouchere was one of
his staunchest friends and employed
him not only to defend endless libel
suits, but also to assist in the expo
sure of vast number of impostors.
He had marked talent as a peace
maker and he usually contrived to ar
range scandals with minimum of
publicity.

DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love story Written by Small Boy at
Least Brought Things to a
Happy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general,
Jerome S. McWade, the well-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at recent
dinner:
''At the approach of Valentine day
last year l offered a prize of five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. l have one of the stories here,
and am going to read it to you
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell in love with a lady
whose mother was a rich toy dealer.
"The poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"A villain then offered him $50 If he
would become a drunkard.
"The poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said
"No, / will not become drunkard,
even for great riches
con the way home he found bag
of gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

COPS WORST SCARE
BIG POLICEMAN TELLS OF TIME
HE WAS FRIGHTENED.
And There Was No Real Cause for
Alarm, But He Didn't Know
That Fact When II Was
Happening.

"Yes, sir" said the big policeman,
I dare say I've been in what you
might call some pretty tight places.
Every policeman is, sooner or later.
But the worst scare ever got had the
east danger in it." The policeman
was on duty, but duty at the moment
was not very pressing. A procession
was coming, sooner or later that
morning, along the thoroughfare, but
It was not yet in sight, and the police
nan had fallen into conversation with
l citizen who was waiting to see it.
How did it happen?" asked the
citizen.
Twas this way" said the police
nan. Il was young lad at the time,
new to the force, and swelled up with
my own Importance as a husky boy
who had just done himself credit in
The physical examination. Nothing
1ad any terrors in it for me, and
was just looking for adventure for the
mere love of it. Mebbe you've had
he feeling, sir?
Il was on night duty" continued
he officer, walking a beat in the
business part of the city, and trying
The doors as | came to 'em, to make

matchbox and struck light.
Twas midnight, for 1 could hear
the clocks booming outside; and when
that match was well lighted l got the
worst scare I'll get this side of judg-
ment day All around me were men
and women, standing quiet and

'"Twas the quietness of 'em and the
horrid, fixed way they looked that got
on my nerves, and when the match
went out l gave one yell and made for
| the entry, feeling as if every one of
them was after me-
But who were tkey?'' asked the in
tereSted citizen.

tersely. THE little door that l found
open was the back entrance to one

STOMACH CENTER
OF HUMAN LIFE
ALL ELSE SECONDARY

The immense success which has fol-
lowed L. t. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro

novel theory He believes that the
human stomach is directly responsible
for most disease To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: The average
man or woman cannot be sick if the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, ETC., which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach, but
even fevers can, in nine cases out Of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by stomachic con-
ditions, and it is because my rem
edy will and does regulate the stom-
ach that am meeting with such sue

gestive apparatus that is doing it's
