Successful Economy in Bakina.

Most housewives assume when they
buy a big can of baking powder at a
low price that they have been econ
omical. They have to a slight extent
but when they use that cheap "big
can" baking powder, and find it so
uneven in quality, or so unreliable
that the baking falls, there isn't so
much economy in It after all, for the
wasted materials far outweigh the
few cents saved in the price.
SUCCESSFUL economy is in the
reach of every woman that desires it..
She has only to order Calumet Bak-
ing Powder, and use it according to
instructions. Then, she: will achieve
economy. For not only does Calu-
met sell at reasonable price-25c
per pound-but it is so carefully
made by experienced chemists that
failure is impossible. Only the best
materials are used and the proper
tions Of the ingredients are so exact
and SO uniform that EVERY baking
comes from the oven light, sweet, and
beautifully raised. Calumet guaran-
Ptees you against failure, and that is
what constitutes real economy in
baking.
Why not use Calumet, a baking
powder that you can always rely up
on7 You can get no better at any
price, for at the Worlds Pure Food
nExposition, Calumet received the
Highest Award.

lAF0LLETTE IN THE
RACE TO The END
Attempts Made in the Press to Elm
mate Wisconsin Statesman Will
Not SWerve Him From
His Course.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 10, 1912.
There has been in existence a gen.
eral conspiracy all over the east
seeking to make the people Of the
country believe that Senator LaF0l=
aette is out of the race for the NOM
ination for President. This conspir-
acy was entered into very enthus-
iastically by the system daily news
papers and press bureaus, with the
result that for few days there Was
evidence that the people were being
thoroughly fooled. But the truth of
the matter has come out, and in the
States where Progressives have ac-
tive organizations, meetings have
been held and renewed assurances
have been sent to the National Pro-
gressive headquarters of active sup
port for LaFollette and the principles
he represents.
Hundreds Of kilograms have come
asking as to the campaign, and as to
the physical conditions of the Sen
Ator. The inquiry has been so gen.
eral that it was best answered by the
publication of the kilograms sent by
1aF0llette to Geo. S. Lotus of Min
neap0lis and to the Courier News at
Fargo, North Dakota. These tele-
grams carried the assurance of the
Senator that his illness had been
grossly misrepresented, that he was
simply overworked and that after a
short rest he would return with re-
newed vigor to the struggle. He de-
clared that he had refused all Of
fers Of combinations or compromis-
es, and that he asked only for dele
gates who stood steadfast to prin-
ciple.
These messages of the Senator,
when published, brought much disap-
pointment to the camp Of the con-
sspirators, who had so carefully ar
ranged to eliminate him from the
contest. They set up an cutlery at
the evidences Of activity at the La
Toilette headquarters, as if they were
injured by some breach of good
faith!
In the meantime, the LaFollette
Progressive headquarters work is 60
ing right on, and the real Progress
Sives in all the states are hnsv oroa n .
izing to fight to the end. Those who
are earnest in the movement realize
that it is a battle for the idea OF
self-government, rather than con-
test for Office spoils, and that it must
finally be fought to the finish before
real representative government car
be assured. Men who believe this are
really Progressive, and they will not
be turned aside by the music OF
4'band wagons" or the bombastie
