Housewives Now More Than Ever Before Realize the Importance of Purity in Food Products While on my lecture tours, meeting housewives in all sections of the country —1 have observed that women are now wide awake to the vital necessity of utmost purity in articles of food. It used to be that unscrupulous manufacturers were at liberty to foist rankly adulterated food stuffs on the unsuspecting housewife. This production of low grade, frequently worthless and often injurious merchandise gained such Strides that the government stepped in with Pure Food legislation and checked it. This measure of protection aroused housewives to the situation and the importance of purity in articles of table nse. And as a result of this awakening wise housewives have set a higher standard of purity than the Food Laws demand. The federal and state authorities have cut off to a great extent the manufacturer of products of an injurious nature. The great majority of housewives have gone even farther—and insist on absolute purity. Take Baking Powder for example. There are many different brands of baking powders on the market. All that arc on the market arc made within the limits of the law—are as pure as the law demands. But there are other things to be taken into consideration —will they give the best results —are they economical in use? The housewife now insists that baking powder be as pure as it can he made. That it possess no imputities—no adulterants—no useless fillers —no injurious properties of any sort. They want —and are entitled to —a baking powder SO proportioned and blended it remains pure in the baking. After testing many different brands of baking powders, 1 am thoroughly convinced that Calumet Baking Powder extends far beyond the standards of purity demanded by the food laws. Critical experiments establish the fact that ‘ Calumet leaves no harmful residue, as do many powders that comply with pure food requirements. Ihe bakings it produces arc not only light, fluffy and tasty—but wholesome and liealt.itul—which really is the final test of a baking powder’s purity. The housewife of today wants something better than “just as good.’’ She wants the best, and in my articles on Baking Powder 1 have no hesitancy in recommending Calumet NOTH-Miss Costello is already well known to most of the ladies of our Cit,".
