The Thrifty Housewife
b irth d a y .
Few homes indeed do not feel the
need o f economy. The necessity of
making every penny count touches
the purse of every housewife. It is
doubtful if there is a single article
employed as a food or in the prepar­
ation of food that demands more buy­
ing wisdom than Baking Powder.
Upon its quality depends the success
and economy of the bakings them­
selves.
Calumet Baking Powder enables
the housewife to make three worth
while savings. She saves when she
buy* it—it is moderate in price.
She saves when she uses it—she
uses only half as much as is required
o f most other powders. She saves
materials it is used with—it never
permits bake-day failure. Any wo­
men can use Calumet with absolute
certainty o f best results—delicious,
tasty bakings that are pure and
wholesome.
True home economy of time, ma­
terial and effort is completely handl­
ed in Reliable Recipes, the 76-page
Cook Book and Household Hints.
A copy is yours FREE—for the ask-
w ing. Address Home Economics Dept.

How those nice youngsters of yours do love good
bread! Why not ? Tt’s the great food for growing chil­
dren. And when bread is just full of rich taste and
nourishment like ours, when it contains more sugar,
more milk, more shortening—can you blame the kiddies
for preferring Nut Brown Bread instead of the ordinary
kind!
Get a loaf of Nut Brown Bread today; slice it,
put jam or butter on then watch Junior and
Sister smack their lips over it.
