PoIiteness IGNORED.

A Virginia farmer was driving re-
fractory COW down the road one morn
ing. The cow and the driver came to
a crossroad. The man wanted the
cow to go straight ahead, but the cow
picked out the crossroad
A negro was coming along the
crossroad
Had her off! Haid her off" yelled
the driver.
The negro jumped about the road
and waved his arms. The cow pro-
ceeded calmly on her way.
'Haid her off! Haid her off, mig.
ger!" yelled the driver
Use a-tryin, teri" replied the negro.
Speak to her! Speak to her and
she'll stop"
Good mawnin', cow-good mawn-
in" said the negro politely.

CLEAR HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks Of the harm
coffee did for him. (Tea is just as
injurious because it contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
my wife and l drank our first cup
Of Postum a little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It
happened in this way:
"About three and half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape Of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but / became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. l happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that 1 give Postum q
trial.
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it suf-
ficiently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now we like it so much that we
will never change back. Postum, be.
ing food beverage instead of a drug,
has been the means of banishing my
stomach trouble, l verify believe, for
am a well man today and have used
no medicine.
My work as chief bookkeeper In
our Co.'s branch house here is Of q
very combining nature. During my cot.
fee-drinking days / was subject to
nervousness and the blues. These
have left me since began using Post
UNI, and l can conscientiously recon.
mend it to those whose work confines
them to long hours of severe mental
exertion." Name given by Postum

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy

Have you ever stopped to think just
what economy" in baking really means?
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little on the cost Of the mate
rials-the flour. eggs. etc.-is economy.
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder, and save 1Oc to 25c.
But both are wrong. For the real econ
omy-the economy that counts-consists in
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than is saved In
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond a doubt Is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
lite of millions of cooks. It absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-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-simply because it Is
not only pure and wholesome itself-but
so uniform in quality that you can always
depend upon ii. Two Worlds Pure Food
Expositions-one at Chicago in 1907, and
the other at Paris, France, In 1912-have
officially pronounced Calumet the best
baking powder made.
