Substitutes are gener
ally more expensive in
the end than genuine
articles. Housewives
have learned they
KNOW this is true 1
where bakings are con
cerned.
Self rising flours are
classed as substitutes
for plain flour and good
baking powder. The
use of these special
mixtures is very liable
to result in false econ
omy, failures and waste
on bake day.
Remember there is a
big difference, in many
ways, between biscuits
and other bakings made
from these so-called
self-rising flours and
those made from good
plain flour and a de
pendable leavener. Try
the experiment—make
a baking from each—
convince yourself.
You will find the baking made from flour
and baldng powder far more attractive
in appearance. It will raise higher—
retain its full food value and taste better.
For best results, do not fail to use Calu
met, the Economy Baking Powder, and a
reliable brand of plain flour.
Just think of it —the sale of Calumet is
2% times as much as that of any other
brand-. It contains only such ingredients
as have been officially approved by the
United States Food Authorities. It is;
pure and sure.
You save when you buy it—you save
when you use it

BASIS FOR JUDGING ESSAYS.
In reading the essays, the judges
! shall give firts consideration to sub
ject matter but due consideration
shall also be given to punctuation,
spelling, grammar, rhetoric, neatness
and penmanship.
