The cheap baking powders have but one recommendation they cer itainly givee the purchaser plenty of powder for his money, but it is not all baking powdier the bulk is made up of cheap materials that .* have no leavening power. These pow de*rs are so carelessly made from tn tferior materials that they will not always make light- wiiole6ome food. Further, these cheap baking powderi have a wy small -percentage of ileavening gas therefore it takes Tom two to three times' as much of euch powder to raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calumet Bak ing Powder. Therefore, in the long run, the actual cost to the consumer ot the cheap powders is more than tbe Calumet wouldi be. Cheap baking powders, leave bread some times bleached amd- acid sometimes ,» yellow andi alkaline, and often un e^latabl '. They are seldom of uni iform strength and quality. Why not buy a perfectly whole some baking powder like Caluimet that is at the same time moderate price and. one which can be relied upon? Calumet is always tlie same, keeps indefinitely and giivea the cook the last trouble. Received Highest Rewards: World's Pure Food Exposition', Chicago 111.
