NC POWDER
The cook is happy, the
other members of the family
are happy—appetites sharpen, things
brighten up generally. And Calumet
Baking Powder is responsible for it all.
For Calumet never fails. Its
wonderful leavening qualities insure
perfectly shortened, faultlessly raised
bakings.
Cannot be compared with
other baking powders, which promise
without performing.
Even a beginner in cooking
gets delightful results with this never*
failing Calumet Baking Powder. Your
grocer knows. Ask him.

The Watta Variation.
Alfred Watts, the young futurist
poet, was lunching with his publisher
at a Broadway restaurant recently,
and while waiting for his bill he
amused himself by matching quarters
with his host. After several dollars
had changed hands, the publisher
looked through the window at one of
those entertaining little Detroitobiles
standing at the curb, and said, face-
tiously:
“I’ll match you for that car, Alfred.”
Mr. Watts tossed back his much-
photographed golden mane, and re-
marked, with this characteristic drawl,
"Aw, don’t be a piker! I’ll match
you for two dollars.”
Had Made a Start.
Pete, the hired man, was known for
his prodigious appetite. One morning
he had eaten a normal breakfast of
oatmeal, buckwheat cakes, toast, fried
potatoes, ham, eggs, doughnuts, coffee
and the usual trimmings, and gone to
a neighbor’s to help with extra work.
Pete arrived before the family had
risen from the morning meal.
“Well, Pete,” hospitably inquired the
farmer, "had breakfast yet?”
“Aw,” drawled Pete In a wheedling
tone, "kinda."—Everybody’s Magazine.
Optimist and Pessimist.
"Do you see that cheerful chap over
there Just lighting a cigar?”
“Oh, yea.”
"Well, he’s a six-months man, while
the aour-looking individual talking to

“What do yon mean by those
terms ?’’
“One thinks the war will end in six
months and the other thinks it will!
last at least two years longer.”
Every married man has a mind of
his own, but the title is seldom per-
fect.
A man's reputation for politeness
should be based on his attitude toward
the women of his own family.
Somehow a man who doesn't know
right from wrong nearly always does
wrong.
Social Sensation.
“Society doesn't concern you much
here In Crimson Gulch,” said the ob-
servant visitor.
“What do you mean by society?” In-
quired Broncho Bob.
"You haven't any tuft hunters
around here.”
“Yes, we have. A bunch of Indians
got out their scalpin' knives an' went
on the war path only last week.”
A One-Sided Definition.
"What is your idea of neutrality?”
"Neutrality,” answered the diplo-
mat, "is a state of mind so disinter-
ested and accurate as to permit no
question that the side of the contro-
versy represented by me is entitled to
the fullest support.”
For sores apply Hanford's Balsam

Somber Possibility.
"Do you think the war will be over
before very long?”
"Yes. What I'm hoping is that the
peace negotiations won’t precipitate
another one.”

After a man has been married two
weeks he can readily understand why
love is blind.
After their six o’clock dinner Higby,
the host, and Jaxman, who was down
for the week end, went to the billiard
room. At eight Higby was yawning
behind his hand. By nine he was walk-
ing in iiis sleep.
"Egad!" said Jaxman dryly, as he
put his cue in the rack, “you became
domesticated in a hurry, didn't you?"
“I don't know what is the matter
with me tonight,” apologized Higby,
trying to suppress another yawn.
“You have been kept up beyond your
usual bedtime,” declared Jaxman.
“When there's no company, I’ll wager
you curl up on the hearth rug and go j
to sleep as soon as you’ve had your
dinner."
Higby grinned sheepishly. Dozing
behind his paper in a chair was not
very different from that.
“I can remember the period,” mused
Jaxman, “when you complained be-
cause daylight always broke up the
revels before you got sleepy.”
“The sting of a hilarious night,” re-
flected Higby, “lies in tbe tail end of
It. You can get by with lots of things
in the dark. But when daylight comes,
you can no longer fool yourself about
how rotten you feel.”
"Hear, hear!" Jeered Jaxman. "And
you've been married Just three months.
If I thought that matrimony would
have such a soporific effect on me. I'd
shut my eyes, hold my nose and take
a dose of it. Nothing else seems to
help this confounded Insomnia of
mine.”
“Marriage is the best little sleeping
powder on the market,” chuckled Hig-
by, "and it’s easy and pleasant to take.
You must remember, however, that It
doesn’t come with a money-back-if-lt-
fails-to-cure guaranty."
Just then pretty Mrs. Higby came
in, and the utter peace and content-
ment visible in the sleepy eyes of her
husband Irritated Jaxman so that he
went to his room presently. At two
o'clock Jaxman sat up in bed with a
smothered exclamation that should
never be used in a Sunday paper.
“There are 8,767,646,385 sheep In the
world,” he bitterly announced. "I’ve
counted them Jumping over a fence.
I’ve listened to water dripping until
tbe earth must be inundated. I’ve lain
on my stomach, stood on my head and
bung by my toes from tbe footboard
and still I can't sleep.” A heavy bass
snore floated over tbe transom.
“And there’s old Hlg sleeping like—
like a married man. Egad!” muttered
Jaxman, “I wonder if there la anything
in that? There must be. Ashley.
Beckwith, Potter and the rest all be-
gan to act that way as soon as they
got into double harness. By Jove!
I’ll try It. I'd better be a married man
than a dead one.”
Jaxman soon discovered that falling
in love was easier than falling off the
water wagon. Whenever he seemed to
have stopped tumbling, Betty led him
to an elevated spot and gave him a
look that made him dizzy-headed. If
that failed, she kicked his feet from
under him. She had long been sorry
for the poor, lonely bachelor and was
glad of the chance to help him.
“Where shall we spend our honey-
moon, love?” asked Jaxman, when all
else had been decided.
“Palm Beach," replied Betty prompt-
ly.
“Oh, not there, dear,” he protested.
"I was thinking of a bungalow in some
quiet place, where I could have you
all to myself-”
”1 want you all to myaelf, too,”
cooed Betty, stopping his mouth with
her soft cheek. “But wouldn't It be a
pity to let all my handsome clothes
mildew In a bungalow in some quiet
place?”
Two months after the wedding Jax-
man, wearing a hunted expression and
considerably leas than his normal
avoirdupois, arrived at Hlgby’a. “Hide
me, Higby,” he begged. “If anyone
calls me on the phone, say that I am
not here,”
“Didn’t the matrimonial insomnia
cure work?” asked Higby, shocked at
his friend’s worn appearance.
“Within two weeks I would fall
asleep In my chair before eight
o’clock,” answered Jaxman.
“Then what—”
“Betty wouldn’t let me sleep,”
the disconsolate bridegroom. “She
had made her debut only a month be-
fore we were married, and she wanted
to do society. I’ve been to a dinner,
dance, theater party or something of
the kind every night since the wed-
ding.”
The poor fellow’s head dropped for-
ward, his eyes closed, and his words
came thickly. “Even If the medicine
cures — you—may—be—sorry—you —
took—It.”
At last he slept.—Judge.
Cheering Comment.
“That Infant of yours kept me
awake half the night,” said the irri-
table neighbor.
“Well, congratulate you,” replied
the weary father. “That comes near-
er being a kind word than anything
I have heard today. Nobody else
owns up to getting half a night’s
sleep.”
Some men never miss
while the beer holds out.
