HOW TO GET SLACKERS

Confusion and misapprehension
among the draft registrars and citi.
zens throughout the State in regard
to what action should be taken on
violations of the law has caused Fed.
eral District Attorney Perry B. Mil
Ter of Louisville, to issue statement
outlining the policy of the depart
ment.
Where registration was omitted
through ignorance of the law, per-
sons are permitted to register now
before the county boards, and those
so registering are to be held to the
grand juries on their own recog-
nizance, Mr.. Miller said. Those who
knowingly and wilfully failed to reg

under bond and forced to register.
Warrants should be issued on aft

BRIDES FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to set
tie down to what they hoped to be
one long interrupted blissful honey
moon.
But alas! the young brides trou-
bles 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 lot for her money, and it
was not all baking powder, for the
bulk Of it was cheap materials, which
had no leavening power. Such pow
ders will not always give the desir-
ed results. 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.
This, 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, some
times yellow and alkaline, and often
unpalatable. They are not always of
uniform strength and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the
perfectly wholesome baking powder,
moderate in price, and always uni
form and reliable. Calumet keeps in
definitely, makes cooking easy, and
is certainly the most economical af-
ter all.
