From time immemorial, leavening
gas has made the “touch” which
made the paste of flour and water
a digestible food—the staff of life.
A flat and soggy loaf or biscuit is an
unleavened food. So it is that leaven
ing agents such as yeast or baking
powder are employed.
To insure to the American housewife
complete leavening of her biscuits,
cakes, muffins, etc., which is so impor
tant to perfect digestion, the pure food
authorities found it wise to require a cer
tain standard of leavening strength in
baking powder.
To maintain this guaranty of digestibility—
to insure minimum deterioration of leaven
ing strength, baking powder is packed in tin.
This prevents absorption of atmospheric mois
ture. Dampness produces premature reaction
in the can—results in loss of leavening gas.
The food official, would properly condemn bak
ing powder if packed in cheap sacks.
But what about self rising flour? It comes to the
southern housewife from remote northern mills
packed in porous bags. What happens to this
mixture of baking materials and flour?
, Chemical analysis shows that much of it has lost
its leavening strength before it reaches the consumer.
Breadstuffs made with such self-rising flours cannot
rise properly—they come to the table heavy, flat, and
soggy.
Why don’t the pure food officials demand that self-rising
flours contain 0.5% leavening gas, the equivalent to the
12% required of baking powder?
Calumet Baking Powder is scientifically and legally cor
rect—the last spoonful is as pure and sure as the first
Packed in tin—keeps the strength in

‘HIPPI FEED STORE'
Will Buy Direct From Mills and
Sell for Cash, Passing Saving
to Customers
The only exclusive feed store in
Sumter county has just been opened
in Americus by Bob Edwards, being
located or. Cotton avenue in the
new C. M. Council block of build
ings. According to Bob himself,
the opening of his “Happp Feed
Store” here is of interest to people
through out the whole community.
The ihappy feed store idea was
originated, he says by Joe Simon, of
New 'Orleai b La., he being highly
interested in the development of
the poultry and dairy industry in
the South, set about to see for him
self just whajt feed was the best to
obtain the best possible results.
He visited a number of large
mills throughout the countrp says
Bob, and saw their methods of man
ufacturing and inspected the raw
products that went in their feeds.
As a result of his investigation he
went bask to New Orleans and
opened the first exclusive happy
feed store, Bob states and sin re
that time the happy idea has spread
until there are over two thousand
happy feed stores throughout the
United States.
The happy feed merchant is noi
j satisfied by merely selling you a
sack of feed and letting it go at
that, saps Bob. It is his policy to
co-operate with you and see that
you get the best possible results
for your money.
Edgar-Morgan, Co. of Memphis
Term, makers of happy feeds, main
tain a poultry and dairy extension
department with experts in charge
to help |the poultry and dairy own
ers with their problems. This ser
vice is free and everyone are ir»
vited to write them for any infor
mation you may desire, with the
assurance that your inquiry will
receive prompt, courteous and ex
pert attenton.
Bob says his policy is “to buy
direct from the mill it carload lots
for cash thereby getting the best
possible price, doing the work him
self, eliminating a heavy overhead
expense, selling for cash and pass
ing the saving on to his customer.’
The happy feed store will do
much toward the developmert of
the poultry and dairy interest here,
as it enables the small buyer to pui
chase his feeds on the same basis
as the large buyer, it is declared.
