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. d,
She soon discovered that all she got
was n lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavenina
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence 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
you, of cheap baking powders, is moro
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave tbs
bread bleached and acid, sometimes vel.
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable,
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per
fectly wholesome baking powder, moderH
ate in price, and always uniform and re
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy. and is certainly the most
economical after all.
