Waste That Every Woman
Should Prevent

Keeping quality is of vital i'm
portance in these days~of high
costs, and low SUI ply of fool
products.
No matterhow high the quail
ty of an article purchased, If it
lacks keeping quality it repre-
sents so much certain waste.
This is noticeably true Of Bak-
ing Powders. A Ba sing Powder

day loss. Such "a powder not
only necessitates using larger
amounts but invites failure
through itsalncertainty. These
powders should be avoided. No
matter. how big quantity you
obtain, no matter Low cheap
they may seem because of low
price they are expensive as they
waste in materials many times
more than saving Of cost. Calu-
met Baking Powder is quality
Baking Powder with the great
est of keeping qualify 1t re-
tains its wonderful leaving pow
er, regardless of how long it may
stand on your pantry shelf. You
use but a,level teaspoonful when
the can is first opened and you
continue to use the same amount
to the last spoonful. This means
economy in Baking Powder, and
what is more important it means
economy in bakings. Its moder-
ate price combined with superior
quality and dependability marks
the greatest ofsbuying economy.
You save when you buy it.. You
save when you use it. And you
save the materials it is used
with. Its economy, purity and
unapproached keeping quality
keep millions of women buying
Calumet in preference to any
and all other brands.

FIND LOSS OF BLOOD
CAUSES SHELL SHOCK
American Army Laboratories Have
Been Experimenting on Animals
10 Determine What 1t Is.

AMERICAN ARMY LARORA-
TORY, France, Nov. 2J.-The mys-
terious collapse like that Of APP
preaching death which Is suffered
by soldiers suffering from extreme
shock from shell wounds Ia being in
Vestigated here. A noted research
scientist from Harvard is conducting
the inquiry.
The first and natural conclusion
was that the collapse was due to the
shock 10 the nerves. But the expert
ments now going on here do not ap-
pear to bear out that conclusion on
the contrary, animal Is badly wounded
IN the toreleg or thigh showed the
full effect Of shock until tho wound
ed member had a tourniqust bound
tightly around the limb lust above
the wound. This cut OFF the flow OF
blood from the wounded part to the
rest OF the body, Following this the
shock effect imm edlatcly subsided,
rs shown by the delicate instruments
which recorded each seconds pull
sations And the shock effect rose
again Immediately when the band
was lOosened.
From this tho research was grad
udiy making clear that the mystcr-
ious shock effect had direct ply
sical connection with the flow OF
blood from the wounded part and
was not an effect OF the nerves.
The two animals on which this cX-
perimental research was being con-
Quoted were under the effect OF
ether, so there was no pain.
In the operation room here
autopsies and examinations are be-
,tn IL
affected by gas attacks. Some OF
these attacks had occurred only
eight days before so that the parts
showed the full effect OF this de-
structive agency.
In the lecture room a demonstra-
tion was being given on spinal
meningitis.
AT one time there were more
deaths in tho British army from that
cause than from the fighting" said
the escort, and as the disease can
do more damage at times than the
boche 1t Is quite essential to trace its
causes and deal with It before it
gets under way"
The big central laboratory was
formerly one OF the largest Pasteur
institutions Of central France, but
now it has been turned over TO the
Americans, with extensive grounds
where a number OF temporary build
ings are going up for the increasing
work.
one OF the buildings has the
transportable field laboratories, with
complete sets of steam and hot air
sterilizers and the whole range Of
laboratory equipment. ready to be
set up near the front. One hundred
Of these field sets have already been
sent out.
Altogether the American labora-
tory has quickly become one OF the
important institutions OF the Ameri-
can expeditionary force extending its
research to every branch Of military
surgery and medicine. and taking d
very practical part in the work at
