1t Is altogether probable that the
actual decline in population, shown
by the last census to have taken
place In extensive agricultural areas,
Is due to the discouragement OF mar.

refusal OF employment to men with

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost OF living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder. for the bulk Of it was
cheap materials which had no leavenins
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because Of the ab-
serce Of leavening gas. it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does Of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus. eventually, the actual cost TO

than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the

They are not always Of uniform strength
