Avoid the Cheap and "eig Can" Bak-
Ino Powders

The cheap baking powders have but ono
recommendation: they certainly 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 leavening power. These powders are
SO carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
powders have very small percentage OF
leavening 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 Calumet
