face was very red and irritated and
was covered with pimples. The PIN
pies festered and came to a head.
They itched and burned and when
scratched them became sore. I tried
soaps and they would not stop the
itching and burning of the skin. This
lasted for month or more. At last
tried Cuticura Ointment and Soap.
They took out the burning and itching

Pure From Start to Finish.

There is perhaps nothing in daily use
in the home in which purity is so Inn
portant as it is in baking powder. On
its purity depends the purity Of the ma
terials used, the success Of the bakings,
etc. And possibly the one thing that
has served to make Calumet Baking
Powder so much of a favorite with the
critical cooks of the country. is the fact
that Calumet Is pure from start to finish
You can rely on Calumet's purity for
the simple reason that every ounce of
the materials used Is first tested by ex-
perienced chemists and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity.
And standing in the can or changes of
weather, ETC., cannot alter 1t in any re-
spect.
But perhaps the best thing of all, is
the fact that Calumet never fails. Every
baking in which Calumet is used, is sure
to come from the oven as light and as
fluffy as you can WISH This not only
means wholesome. tasty foods-but a
big economy. as well. Try Calumet next
bake-day-it's the best baking powder
made-for two Worlds Pure Food
Expositions, one in Chicago. 1907: one
at Paris. France, 1912-have given it the
highest awards. Adv.
