The Matter

The young mother-and many an
old one, too--is often puzzled to
know the cause of her child's i'll ma
ture. The loudness Of it's crying
does not necessarily indicate the seri-
business of its trouble. 1t may have
nothing more the matter with it than
headache or feeling Of general
dullness. 1t cannot, of course, de-
scribe it's feelings, but as prelimi-
nary measure you are safe in trying
a mild laxative.
Nine times out Of ten, you will
find it Is all the child needs, for its
rcst,essness and peevishness are per-
hGrs due to obstruction of the bow

and the many other evidences of

quickly disappear.

Pure From start to Finish.

There is perhaps nothing in daily use
In the home in which purity is 80 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 30 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 it in any re-
Bpect.
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

6EvONSHIRE CREAM is GOOD
DeIlcacy Not a Difficult Matter to

1t is not difficult matter to make

ciated by young and old, The quaint

sive; for pound of the cream one and
one-half gallons Of good milk is re-
quired, but the leftover milk may be
put to many uses, and, after all, the
ordinary family would be satisfied with
much less.
To make this cream strain new milk
into large shallow pan until 1t is four
or five inches deep. Leave in a cool
for twelve hours in the summer, for
twenty-four hours in the winter. Do
not disturb 1t in any way. Next care
fully carry the pan to the stove and
place over pot of hot water. The
heating should take at least one-half
hour and the temperature should rise
to 1870 degrees to develop the proper
flavor. 1t is done when the cream
forms ring around the pan and is
wrinkled on the top. Let it stand
twelve hours before skimming.
