Calumet The Secret of Economy

The high cost Of living nowadays. and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy in the kitchen
even more important than II was in tho
good old days of our thrifty ancestors
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines, it depends almost en-
tirely on the housewives knowledge of
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunsteiy. in one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
OF the famous Calumet Baking Powder
Economy in baking. as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
in buying the materials as on the success
OF her hatiugs. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes in buying. And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures ana
makes every baking successful has made
II the favorite Of every cook that seeks
to be economical. In other words. Calu-
met is the secret OF economy in baking.
1t is the purest, too-attested by hun
dreds of leading physicians-and as for
its general quality, il Is enough to say
that Calumet has received the, highest
awards az two Worlds Pure Food Exposi-
tions-one in Chicago. III. and the other
in Paris, France. in March. 19i2. Adv.
