business man who runs a diversified
farm as carefully as he conducts a
store can clear from $1,000 to $4,000

order and have a delightful country
home. He also will gain considerably
in the appreciation of the land, and he

work during the yeare 1911. according
to the third annual statement of eX-

of the United States.
By far the largest item of expense
was that for treatment in sanatOria
and hospitals, and for the erection Of
institutions Of this kind, over 1900
600 being spent for this purpose alone.
Dispensaries for the examination and
treatment of tuberculosis spent $780,

naming $1,300,0OO was spent for

A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOPPED

How many people who read this article,
realize the weighty influence of one little
necessity of life-baking powder-on the
cost of living.
Yet it is a leakage that can easily be
stopped if the housewife will only pay
little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap Zig Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking. and the
result is that more is lost in one or two
spoiled bakings than you spend on bak-
ing powder in the whole year. The cheap
Big, Can" Baking Powders should be
avoided.
On the other hand, many housewives
feel that a baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 50 cents a pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust brands. This is a mistake as
the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for 25c. per pound if the man
ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable
profit. There is one brand on the market
that meets these requirements. 1t is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recon-
mended by leading physict ans and chem
lists; used in millions OF homes; and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds

TOPEKA TO TRY Them.
VIII Use Voting Machines at Novem-
Der General Election

The first voting machine to be
placed in active use in Topeka will be
given a trial by the city commission
ers at the November election. The
National Voting Machine company of
this city has consented to give their
machines a tryout at this time. A ma
chine will be placed in each precinct
in the city.
The commissioners were anxious to
make the first test at the special
bridge bond election September "a.
The manufacturers of the machine had
figured with an Atchison election
September Is and the Topeka electlon
could not be accommodated. There
was a doubt, anyway. that the state
election laws would not allow voting
machines at special elections under the
present arrangement.
It is figured that the votes can be
counted completely in a short time at
ter the booths close in the November
election
