There’s But One Safe Way to Buy * ’r I keep in close touch? with market conditions of food products. lam correctly informed as to the cash and food value of practically every article of table and baking use. My knowledge and close acquaintance with baking materials and their quality and money worth passed on to you in my articles, should aid in the selection of proper foods at proper prices. you have often heard the expression that “water seeks its own level.” This same thought might well be applied to merchandise. Inferior merchandise may find a ready demand When first put on the market but its inferiority is soon found out —and its sale usually takes a slump. Hence I have come to the conclusion that the biggest seller is the best buy. When some certain brand is given a wide preference over all similar merchandise it means but one thing— merit has proved it best. So it follows that if housewives would purchase only merchandise that meets the greatest demand their buying would be far more satisfactory. I have noticed invariably that the demand for a product always verifies the value of a product determined by scientific tests —which proves my contention conclusively. Take baking powder. The biggest selling brand on the market today proved to mt by the most critical experiments that it is entitled to the preference it has gained. There are more pounds of Calumet sold than any other brand of baking powder. Usage has proved its superiority —my tests pointed to the same fact. The woman who buys Calumet eliminates all possible waste. She profits by the experience of millions of women who after testing many different brands of baking powder find Calumet best. It is safe to buy because overwhelming choice shows the supreme satisfaction it renders the vast majority of housewives. I have made investigations and trips through many plants that manufacture food articles, and I have yet to find a finer and better equipped, more up to date, sanitary plant than that of the Calumet Bering Powder Co. Anyone who will visit this plant will readily understand why they should and how they do manufacture baking powder that fills all the requirements. <4 X <_ ■* * NOTE—Miss Costello is already well known to most of the ladies tff our city.

LLOYD GEORGE AGAINST PEACE

PRIME MINISTER ALLIES SHOULD NOT CONSIDER NOW Lloyd George, the British prime minister in a speech, Friday before the trenches of the Grey’s inn, pro- ' nounced his latest word in the new phrase of the peace discussion which was launched by the marquis ot Lansdowne’s recent notable letter. Former Premier Asquith had followed the marquis of Lansdowne with an utterance which coupled the policy of the marquis with that of President Wilson, and found agreement between the two. The premier’s statement of his platform had been awaited with great expectation and was heralded by eager discussion. His speech was pointed, as all his words are. He also endorsed President Wil

son, but found no common ground in the paths of the president and the marquis of Lansdowne toward peace. It was with “painful amazement,” the premier said, that he had read the marquis of Lansdowne’s letter. He declared that the danger to the country was not from the active minority of extreme pacifists but from “men who think there is a half-way house between victory and defeat.” The premier warned against ‘ peace overtures tc Prussia at th? very moment when the Prussian mil itary spirit is drunk with boastfulness.” The premier said he saw no prospect for world Safety in a league of peace in which the criminal was stronger than the law. He saw the critical sta?.' « of the w» r at this time v 1 en Germany is stra’ning to strike between th, withdrawal of the Russians and the entrance of American democracy and said the destiny < f the world depends cn what Great Britain can accomplish during the r< xt year. Abe aims, wl ich th- marquis of Lansdowne hud and for which pacifists are making “demands.” The words of Lloyd George follow: “It is because 1 am firmly convinced that despite some untoward events, despite discouraging appearances, we are making steady progress toward the goal I would regard peace overtures to Prussia at the very moment the Prussian mjlitary spirit is drunk with* boastfulness as a betrayal of the great trust with which my colleagues and myself ha J 2 been charges.” If Russia persists in her present policy, the premier pointed out, the withdrawal of the enemy from th east of a third of his troops must release hundreds of thousands o. men and masses of material to at tack Great Britain, France and Italy

Preacher Converted After Visiting District Attorney

Some weeks ago the name of Rev. 1 Adolph Voight of a country chureh near Chicago was being noised about Hn . a decidedly uncomplimentary manner because of disloyal words and actions on his part, and he was summoned before District Attorney Clyne of Chicago,where he appeared, it was stated, with a Bible in one hand. What Mr. Clyne said to him has not yet been published, but it must have been pretty warm stuff; leastwise it was further stated that when the minhfpr left the federal attorney’s office t»he still had his Bible in one h - .bit c.-K'r’ed in th* other a L> • -t which and the !lv, he had bee and he was under ; ,_r. Clyne to preach a sermon .0 his congregation the next Sunday on “America First.” He “made good” on the conversion he had experienced and his promises to the federal official, and the last chapter to date was published in Tuesday’s Chicage Herald, as follows: “The Americanism displayed by Rev. Adolph Voigt of the Hoosier Grove Evangelical Lutheran church since he was called before District Attorney Clyne for alleged pro-Ger-„ manism ha's caused the official to decide to give him new districts to convert to patriotism. “The pastor’s flock in Hanover township failed to subscribe to the Liberty Loan, the Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A. The clergyman—unwittingly, he says—spread some proGerman stories, and he was Called into the district attorney’s office two weeks ago and requested to J‘go over the top.” “He xvent, after preparing the congregation with a sermon on “America First.” Yesterday he went to the federal building to report his gains to Mr. Clyne. Here they are: “Ten thousand dollars subscribed to the Liberty Loan; $354 for the Y. M. C. A. and S7O for the Red fross. “Mrs. Voigt accompanied her husband, and told Mr. Clyne of the activities of the Red Cross branch she is organizing.”

Why W. Are At War

Prepared ’ for the Indiana State Council of Defense, by Father John Cavanaugh, President of the University of Notre Dame. z The militaristic spirit of Germany must perish, or America can not survive. • When the lion and the lamb lie down together, the lamb is always inside the lion, and a peaceloving commercial nation can never be safe so long as a militaristic, powerful, and aggressive nation lies within striking distance and eager to strike. _

Let not the gentle-mannered think that'we can have no proper concern about the thoughts and the internal organization of neighboring nations. Where these things are merely matters of taste, we have indeed no right to interfere; but when any strong nation avows a policy that involves the destruction of our country, we should be less than reasonable, we should be insane, if we permitted that nation to build up a monstrous machine for carrying out its purpose, while we bartered and played. It does not promote the happiness of a kindly fat man to know that a burglar or a murderer is lying in wait for him with a club, as he goes his peaceful way on a dark night. That was precisely the situation of our people before the war began. We rhapsodize over the men of Washington’s time and the stalwarts of Lincoln’s day, but let us not forget to acclaim the heroes of this critical hour. Of what avail was it that the Revolutionary patriots created America, and the Civil War patriots unified America, if patriots of today do not conserve America?

This war is as sacred as either of the other great American wars, and every man and every dollar within the bounds of our country must help to win the fight. Whoever shirks qr shrinks is constructively a traitor. This is- a war against war, and pacifists themselves, if they were wise, would see in American victory the only hope of the triumph of their cause. ' This war is to purchase permanent peace and it must not end till the spirit-of militaristic aggression perishes from the earth. It will require the exertion of all our people’s gigantic might to see this conflict through, and any American who, for any reason whatsoever, is cold or backward in this war is unworthy of his sacred inheritance.
