Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy

Have you ever stopped to think just
what economy" in baking really
mespsY Some folks seem to have the
idea that saving little on the cost OF
the materials -four, eggs, etc.-is
economy. Others are OF the opinion
that they have been economical when
they buy the low priced baking powder
and save l0c to 25c But both are wrong.
For the real economy-the economy that
cour ts-consists in doing away with the
failures that so often waste far more
than is saved 10 buying lowpriced ma
terials.
And that beyond doubt is the rea-
son that Calumet Baking Powder is the
favorite OF millions OF cooks. 1t abso
lutely prevents failures and guarantees
success, which in the end is the same
thing as economy.
Calumet is unfailing-it makes every
baking good-more tasty, more delicious,
more evenly raised-slmply because 1t is
not DOLLY pure and wholesome itself-but
so uniform 10 quality that you can al.
ways depend upon it. Two Worlds
Pure Food Expositions-one at Chicago
1907, and the other at Paris, France
q l9l2-have officially pronounced Cal
umet the best baking powder made.

HUSK THE RICE BY HAND
Methods In Use In Burma Are Suscep.
tible Of Improvement, According
to American Ideas.

The most popular method used by
the Burmese for husking rice Is by
the "chike-set" or revolving mill.
which Is worked by hand. This mill
is made OF woven bamboo. The low
er half is stationary. with a cone
shaped head Of hardwood and bamboo
extending within the upper half, which
revolves around this cone when push
ed backward and forward by means OF
the handle. Hard bamboo twigs ex'
tending crosswise In the upper por'
ton husk the rice against the cone.
Between the two sections is a small
opening thEough which the rice falls
into a plate or basket.
The other method is by wooden
mortar, the pestle consisting OF block
OF wood at the end OF a heavy bar
working on a lever. which is raised
and lowered by the weight Of the oper'
ator's body az he steps on and on the
further end Of the bar. These ma
chimes are manufactured locally.
There is no doubt considerable
market In Burma for small rice ma
chimes capable of handling two hun
dred baskets per day Of twelve hours
costing c. 1. Z. Rangoon about $50. Th'
basket is the unit Of measure In th'
rice trade Of Burma and consists o
forty-seven pounds unhusked rice o.
seventy-five pounds cleaned white rice
The machine must be provided Will
separators and three outshoots, l. O.
for white rice, coodie and husk.
