The youno Brides First Discovery.

Their wedding tour had ended. and they
entered their new home to settle down TO
what they hoped to be one long uninter-
rupted blissful honeymoon.
But alas! the young brides troubles
soon began when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got was
a lot for her money, and it was not all
baking powder, for the bulk of 1t was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two to three times as much to raise CAKES
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you of cheap baking powders is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always Of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
good cooking easy, and is certainly the
most economical after all. Received

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take a laxative. There are OF
course a few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is a laxative
tonic. 1t not only operates as gentle
laxative, but also as tonic.
The benefit derived from such q
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.
After a person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ a
physician, or some one who can give the
case his personal attention. But long be-
fore this happens the person will complain
of this or that symptom, which is not Sc
we're enough to interfere with his regular
activities. If at this place before the di-

A TONIC LAXATIVE.
Pe--u-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

sease has really gained foothold in the
system, person was to take dose or two
of a good tonic laxative the great major
ity of cases Of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be kept
in the house. Its virtue as a preventive
to disease is the thing / wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels,
biliousness, re-absorption of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy of
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
a few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as a
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tones would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place, With
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite is
produced and if there be any sluggishness
of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become SO thoroughly established that
all medicines are superluous, Peruna viii
be needed. 1t is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house

Mr.. John B. Perkins, % Whiting ST.,
Plymouth, Mass, writes: II think Pc
runa is number one medicine. I was
troubled with catarrh and bowel COM

only find temporary relief. l took Peruna

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Originated
CoQnomen That Has Now Be-
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead OF numbering
them. So he named them in honor OF
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being cali
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea.
and thus the word cabin was grad

years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word ''stateroom"
became incorporated into our Ian
guage, and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in thou
sand WHO occupies a stateroom knows
