PURITY In FOOD PRODUCTS

1t used to be that unscruplous
manufacturers were at liberty to
foist rankly adulterated food
stuffs onto the unsuspecting
housewife. This production OF
low grade, frequently worthless
and often injurious merchandise
gained such strides that the gov
ernment stepped in with Pure
Food legislation and checked it.
This measure of protectiO n
aroused housewives to the situa-
tion and the Importance OF ut
most purity in articles of table
use. And as a result OF this
awakening, wise housewives
have set a higher standard of
purity than the Food Laws de-
mand. The federal and state
authorities have cut off to great
extent the manufacture OF pro-
ducts of an injurious nature The
great majority of housewives
have gone even farther and in
sist on absolute purity.
This is evidenced in the tre-
mendous and ever increasing de-
mand for Calumet Baking Pow
der. 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 Bak-
ing Powder is as pure as it can
be made. 1t possesses no adul-
terants-no useless fillers-no m
purities-no injurious properties
of any sort. 1t is composed of
the highest grade materials pro-
durable. So proportioned and
blended they remain pure. An
other point which shows that
Calumet is way beyond the meas
ure of merit required by law, is
that it stays pure in the baking.
1t leaves no harmful residue, as
do many powders that comply
with the pure food standard.
The bakings produced with Cal
umet Baking Powder are not only
light, fluffy and tasty, but whole
some and healthful, which really
is the final test of any baking
ing powders purity. The high,
way-above-the-law excellence of
Calumet, represents purity in the
extreme and that is what the
wise housewife now demands.
She no longer wants a baking
powder that is good enough to
get by the law-she wants the
best,
