FoREsAW RAPAcITY OF HUNS
Many Years Ago Charles Dickens
Looked Into the Future with Vie
ion Remarkably Prophetic.

There is something almost uncanny
about the accuracy with which Charles
Dickens foresaw the Hun and his aims
as we know them today. Not long
ago there was quoted part OF Dick
ems reply to an invitation to become
member of a peace society that a
number Of persons were endeavoring
to form in 1851. The words written
then by the great English author are
worth repeating:
Look out toward Austria, look out
toward Germany" he cOunseled. do
you see nothing there2
81 tell you that it Ia because there
are the wild beasts Of the forest
because | would not be soldier ridden,
nor have other men so, because dread
end hate the miseries and tyranny OF
war, that / am not for the dlsarming
Of England. nor can be q member Of
your peace society"
Every reader Of Little Dorritn will
remember the landlady of the BREAK
of Day Inn" of Chalons Words Of
this French character of his have q
peculiarly prophetic ring. Here they
are.
"And 1 tell you this my friend =.
That there are people whom It is nee
essary to detest without compromise
That there are people who must b.
dealt with as enemies of the human
race. That there are people who hav'
no human heart, and who must b.
crushed like savage beasts, and clear
ed out Of the way"

IMPORTANCE OF PURITY
IN FOOD PRODUCTS.

It used to be that INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers were at liberty to foist
rankly adulterated food stunts onto
the unsuspecting housewife. This
production of low grade, frequently
worthless and often injurious mer-
chandise gained such strides that the
government stepped in with Pure
Food legislation and checked it. This
measure of protection aroused house
wives to the situation and the import
ance of utmost purity In articles of
table use. And as a result of this
awakening wise housewives have set
higher standard of purity than the
Food Laws demand. The federal and
state authorities have cut off to
great extent the manufacture of pro-
dues of an injurious nature. The
great majority of housewives have
gone even farther and insist on abb
solute purity.
J This is evidenced in the tremen-
dous demand for Calumet Baking
Powder. There are many different
brands Of Baking Powders on the
market. All that are on the market
are made within the limits of the
law" are as pure as the law demands.
Calumet Baking Powder is as pure as
it can be made. 1t possesses no adul-
terants-no useless fillers-no iniuri-
GUS properties of any sort. 1t Is COM
posed of the highest grade materials
procurable. So proportional and
blended they remain pure. Another
point which shows that Calumet is
way beyond the measure OF merit re-
quired by law, is that 1t stays pure in
the baking. It leaves no harmful
residue, as do many powders that
comply with the pure food standard
The bakings produced with Calumet
Baking Powder are not only light
fluffy and tasty, but wholesome and
healthful, which is really the fina'
test of any Baking Powders purity
The high, way-above-the-law excel
hence of Calumet, represents purity II
the extreme and that is what the wise
housewife now demands. She NO Ion
ger wants a Baking Powder that Il
! good enough to get by the law-sh'
wants the best.

A recent invention which has not
been marketed as yet, but is reported
to be a great success, is an electric
roller for use In making the much.
needed hve-yard rolls of bandaRes.
This new device is not only q great
time and labor saver, but requires
little practice to learn to operate. The
rollers operated by hand. as they have
been heretofore, require skill and
training to operate them successfully
and the work is strenuous. BY rolling
electrically the operator is able to
keep both hands on the bandage,
while in hand operation one hand
guides the roll or bandage and the
other operates the roller.
