BAKING POWDER

TESTED
Scientific Method Used
To Tell Strength Of
Ingredients.

Any one can test canned meats or
fish by the smell and appearance can
ned fruits By their flavor, size and
firmnesS; in fact, you can readily
judge almost any other canned goods
by an application of the senses hence,
the Importance of being able TO test
your baking powder. 1t is better TO
be safe than sorry. If you know
baking powder is good, you can bake
with confidence. 1t sometimes hap
pens that bad results are attributcu
to the wrong ingredients. Such mis-.
takes need never occur il you use
Calumet. which is kept fresh in the
hands OF the dealer. But there are
thousands OF groccrs with millions Of
cans on their shelves, so we tell you
how you can readily test your Cal,
umct for yourself at any time.

First, take an ordinary drinking
glass holding one-half pint or in other

ture rise. Note the action of the
powder. Calumet rises slowly ana
the full strength. If the powder is of
full strength, and you have proceeded
properly, the gas released will form
bubbles sufficient TO half fill the glass.
DRIED EGG
This test is made possible by the
presence in Calumet of 1J-100 of / pes
cent of dried white of fresh hens
eggs. This, when the powder is mixed
with the water, harnesses the gas pro-
duced by the powder, and prevents its
escape, so that you can see the amount
of gas produced. lou can also mor
easily study what you can see to SOM

of the powder. Some powders. such rs

and has properly balanced action,
giving off some of its gas quickly
and some more slowly. Owing to this
perfect balance, we believe we have

BRANCH BANKING
ISSUE IS DODGED
A. B. A. Convention Also
Avoids Proposed Amend
ments to Reserve Act.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, October 2.-The
State bank division, meeting late yes
terday, brought to q close the annual
convention of the American Bankers
Association, the chief business of
which was the raising of a half-mil-
liondollar fund for the establishment
Of 100 $4,000 scholarships in economics
In American colleges and universities,
and the adoption Of resolutions recon-
mending the perpetuation of the Fed
eral reserve system and the elimina
ton of Federal estate and inheritance
taxes by States on the intangible per-
sonal property Of non-residents.
Two Big Issues Avoided.
Branch banking and the proposed
amendments to the Federal reserve
act. two of the most controversial sub
jects within the association, were
studiously avoided in the so-called
declaration Of principles" The only
official reference to branch banking
was a resolution Of the State bank
division which stated that I'VE reiter-
ate our oft-stated opposition to any
system of branch banking in this
country"
A discussion Of the Federal reserve
amendments was forestalled by the
report of the economic policy COM
mission. which urged a complete sep
aration of the question of rechartering
the reserve banks from that involving
proposed amendments to the Federal
reserve act and the suggestion that
the latter be decided on their own
merits.
Resolution Is Sidetracked.
A resolution urging the appoint
ment of a special committee Of five
persons to study and report upon the
merits Of all proposals to alter the
Federal reserve act had been prepared
by Richard Hawes, vice president Of
the First National Bank Of st. Louis,
but he was prevailed upon not to In
troduce it.
Philadelphia, Houston, Tex, and
Los Angeles, Calf, presented invita-
tions to the convention to meet in
their cities next year. Judging from
the applause of the delegates, Los
Angeles will be chosen, but the final
announcement will be deferred until
the December meeting Of the admin
istrative committee.
