Baking Economy.

BY the use of perfect baking pow
der the housewife can derive as much
economy as from any other article
used in baking and cooking, In select
ing a baking powder, therefore, care
should be exercised to purchase one
that retains its original strength and
always remains the same, thus max
ing the food sweet and wholesome and
producing sufficient leavening gas to
make the baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas Is
produced by cheap baking powders,
making 1t necessary to use double the
quantity ordinarily required to Sc
cure good results
You cannot experiment every time
you make a cake or biscuits or test
the strength of your baking powder to
find out how much of 1t you should
use; yet with most baking powders
YOU should do this, for they are put to
gether so carelessly they are never
uniform, the quality and strength
varying with each can purchased
Calumet Baking Powder is made Of
chemically pure ingredients of tested
strength. Experienced chemists put il
up. The proportions OF the differeni
materials remain always the same
Sealed in air-tight cans Calumet BaN
ing Powder does not alter in strength
and is not affected by atmospheric
/ changes.
( In using Calumet you are bound Z
have uniform bread, cake or biscuits
as Calumet does not contain any
cheap. useless or adulterating ingredi
i ents so commonly used to increase IN
weight. Further, 1t produces pure
wholesome food and is baking pow
der of rare merit therefore, is recon
mended by leading physicians ant
chemists. 1t complies with all pur
food laws, both STATE and NATION

and any lady purchasing Calume

can return it and have her money re
