times yellow and alkaline. and bitten
unpalatable. They are not dependable
and represent false economy at any
price.
The most simple way for the house
wife to class baking powder is by price.
The trust goods that retail for 45c or
SOC pound are usually the cream of
tartar powders, and are of the old
school; and the cheap and Big Can
kind that sell all the way from 10c
pound up to a cent an ounce should
also be avoided.
The last word in baking powder is
the happy medium, a combination pow
der that sells at a moderate price and
when properly prepared gives the con-
sumer full value for the money. The
result in baking is pure, wholesome
food, without any harmful residue.
There is no reason why any housewife
should pay 45c or SOC per pound. The
best baking powder made can be manu-
featured SO as TO retail at about \ this
price"
On being asked what baking powder
she used in her work. Marian Cole
Fisher frankly stated that for more
than seven years she had used Calumet

National Authority on the Subject of PURE
FOODS and the ART OF COOKING.

In an interview on baking powder
Marian Cole Fisher. Chautauqua lee
turer and at that time special chairman
of the Saint Paul Housewives League
and an active member, stated as fol-
lows:
I find many, in fact. very many,
women woefully uniformed on the sub
Ject Of baking powder. Evidently the
housewife does not appreciate the value
OF baking powder in her kitchen and in
her baking, or she would have informed
herself This is a subject that is quite
important.
"a great many of the housewives
today have followed their mothers or
grandmOthers in the use of baking pow
der, which in some instances is a mis-
take There has been Just as much i'm
provement in baking powder as in other
commodities 1 am glad TO find that
baking powder has kept up with the
times
Some housewives have been led to
believe that the cream of tartar pow
ders are the best goods to use. This is a
mistake resulting no doubt from the
constant efforts OF the Twenty Million
Dollar Baking Powder Trust to create a
prejudice against all goods save their
own. Their goods should be least de-
sirable on account Of the large quanti-
ties of Rochelle Salts remaining in the
food
THE other extreme is the cheap and
