"GOoD STUFF"
A Confirmed Coffee Drinker Takes to
Postum.

A housewife was recently surprised
when cook served Postum instead of
coffee, She says:

drinking coffee. which l did.

the same old trouble as before.

"To my surprise he called for G

have used Postum ever since and both
feel better than we have in years.
"My husband used 20 have bad
SMELLS with his stomach and would be

and took to Postum, he has had nc
more trouble. and we now fully De

Pure From Start to Finish.


There is perhaps nothing in daily use
in the home in which purity is SO i'm
portant as it is in baking powder. Or
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 en-
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-
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 9
big economy as well. Try Calumet neX'

and drugs act of 1906, the same thing
as rotten eggs" under the common
law?
Upon the early decision of that
question by the supreme court of the
United States is said to hang one OF
the most far-reaching disputes in re-
gard to the federal pure food law
since Its enactment
Egg men are attacking the depart
ment of agriculture as seeking to en-
force the law. according to arbitrary
and unreasonable standards, while Of
ficials of the department are defending
their course as involving the most
valuable features of the legislation
against improper food
The controversy arose over the seiz-
ure in Jersey City, N. j., OF 44S cans
of frozen egg product packed in To
peka, Kan, by the Seymour Packing
Company upon the order of the II. j.
Keith company. The pure food law
provided that an article should be
deemed adulterated when "decom-
posed"
In the trial that followed the gov
eminent called DR.. George w. stiles,
Jr., and a number of other govern
ment chemist, who testified that the
correct method of telling whether an
egg was decomposed was to count the
bacteria in the egg substance.
The Keith company contended con-
gress had not defined what 1t meant
by "decomposed," and so the courts,
as the supreme court did In finding a
meaning for restraint of trade" IN the
