Tha Miner's Paradise.
Oh. ye miners to make a stake
Should come out here en the Apple-
gate.
And if more fortune than you aeefc,
Just trot along up Palmer creek.
But If you shouldn't find It on the
docket.
Then go up on .the hills and trace
for a pocket;
There's lota of room, both high and
low
And an excellent plaoa to ehane
tha rainbow.
If pockets are scarce and not always
intact.
Like looking for needles In a hay
stack. Just go up at night and watch the
lick.
For you'll want some meat while on
the creek.
If you should be a little slow.
And don't get the buck why, shoot
the doe,
Tou are quite safe to watch the
lick,
For there's no game law on Palmer
creek.

"Better baking at a saving that counts in this family I"
SAYS MRS. W.
HICKEY, OF CHICAGO
I'm paying the lowest prices ever
for Calumet Baking Powder!"
"CAKES AND COOKIES just disappear
In my big family." laughs Mrs. Hickey.
"So it's a big help when I can get a full
pound can of my reliable, standby baking
powder, Calumet, for only 25cl As long as
I bake. Calumet will be in my pantry!"
Grandfather Rommel, who waa a baker
for 40 yeara, aaya, "Calumet takes tha
guesswork out qf the job nowadays."
T
WHY la Calumet different from
other baking powders? Why it such
a small amount needed just a level
teaspoon to a cup of sifted flour in
most recipes?
It's because Calumet combines
two distinct leavening actions. A
quick action for the mixing bowl
et free by liquid. A slower action
for the oven set free by heat.
Calumet's Double-Action it so
perfectly balanced and control!!
that it produces perfect leavening.
Calumet it a product of General
Foods.
