At the close of each year's publication The Searchlight has asked its many friends and patrons to meet with them in properly celebrating the Anniversary Event. As The Searchlight has successfully closed another year of constant, regular and uninterrupted publication; we ask our friends and patrons to join with us in celebrating the event on OUR AIM Regardless to the COST And We'll Please You Too WICHITA, KANSAS JULY 1 1905 On Tuesday night, July 4th, the Wichita Searchlight will give its Seventh Anniversary at Odd Fellows Hall, 517 N. Main street. We are making great preparations for this event and trust to meet all our friends, patrons and sympathizers there on this date. For 364 days out of each year the Searchlight is devoted in the interest of others—its readers—and for only one day do we come forth as entertainers and it is hoped that our patrons will show the same interest in our Anniversary on July 4th as we have always shown in them, and come out and spend one evening with the Searchlight at Odd Fellows Hall. A program is being arranged that is suitable for the occasion and one which will suit the fancy of all. We have always been loyal to our church—both in publication of matter and also in the contribution of our means—and the church people of Wichita owe it to themselves as an appreciation of our every effort in their behalf to be present at our Anniversary on Tuesday night, July 4th. The churches of Wichita have found since we have been in this city they have no better friend or defender—and on Tuesday night, July 4th it will be seen how much our efforts are appreciated. Our Anniversary comes only once each year while our loyalty to each of our splendid churches is tested in some manner every day. The young people of Wichita know how earnestly we have kept track of their party affairs and other social gatherings during the time of our publication and how zealously we have guarded their every interest and on Tuesday night, July 4th, we trust to meet them at Odd Fellows Hall. We promise that when the evening has passed every one will go away highly pleased with the evening spent with the Searchlight at Odd Fellows Hall, July 4th. The hall is being specially arranged, and plenty of seats will be procured and placed in the hall, so everyone can be seated. ..Three Electric Fans will be in operation in the hall to insure that the hall will be pleasant, besides a vestibule has been built in the front and rear of the hall and both the front and back doors will be thrown wide open which will insure ample ventilation, and there will be a seat for everybody. Refreshments will be served in the hall in Banquet style—anything to eat you want will be there. Do not miss this because it only comes once a year and no pains or money will be spared to make this the crowning event of Wichita. We seek your pleasure on this date and trust you will accept and come out. The following is the program as arranged, which will occupy but a short time: 1. Opening chorus. 2. Address.....Rev. C. G. Coles 3. Vocal Solo.....Mr. Robt Floyd 4. Paper.....Mr. Chas. W. Price "The Young Colored Man's Opportunities." 5. Recitation.....Mrs. Ida Gordon "The Party"—By Paul Lawrence Dunbar. 6.

Negro And The South I do not fear Southern oppression near as much as I do the invasion of white Northern labor which comes with its social prejudices, which comes often pleading its color as its only mark of superiority. The color line was never carried upon brick walls to the carpenter's bench in all the other industries of the South, until Northern white labor carried it there. The colored men of the North make a great mistake in abusing the South. Let the South alone and look to your own neglected opportunities and correct your own wrongs. You are driven from nearly every decent wage earning position, whipped from the hacks and the drays, shop doors shut in your faces, labor unions united against you and the friendship and sympathy of hitherto white friends slipping away from you. I appeal to the white men of the North to think more kindly of both black men and white men of the South. Every honest negro heart is loyal and true to the South. We need and want the sympathy of every section of our country but there is a kind of unfriendly meddling which invariably increases friction and harms the negro. We have strong men in both races in the South who are capable and have the righteous inclination to fairly adjust all problems growing out of our new relations. There is a class of Northern whites who some South as a disturbing element. They are hypocrites, singing one song to the negroes and another to the whites. There are many mistakes in our own social life which we as a race must correct and which we alone can correct. Our women and children are left unprotected, mothers, sisters are deserted by sons and brothers, who often leave home to nicease the army of idlers and criminals. The great majority of our boys are not at school, do not attend church, are growing up idle vicious, ignorant or slum harshrdu vicious, ignorant or shun hard honest toil and look for soft jobs. The negro woman alone is fighting one of the grandest battles in the annals of man, with, the cookpot, the washboard sewing needle, ironing board, scrub brush; she builds churches, supports schools, educates her daughter, often supporting an improvident husband, or an unworthy son.—By W. H. Council, President of the Negro college at Normal, Ala., in Chattanooga Press. Any white person who gives money on such a plea is throwing that much away and we warn them before they do so to investigate the matter to some extent. WILL THEY STAND FOR IT? It is now up to the colored men of Wichita as to what they will do in regard to a certain matter which has already received sufficient discussion. They have met in mass meeting, alred themselves, and still the same conditions which was a cause for their resolving exists—and an open defiance is manifest, regardless to the interests of the colored people or as to their desire. Will the colored men of Wichita who believe in equality and proper educational advantages stand for a continuation of certain agitation which all are satisfied exists? The time for talk, the time for pursuasion, the time for coaxing has passed and if the colored men of Wichita are to prove their valor they must stand up like men and rid themselves of whatever element that may seek to disturb their present standing. The Searchlight has always st006 for those things which tend to elevate the colored people, not only in Wichita, but in general, and we still stand that way. Jas. J. Olden, the druggist, has fine soda fountain in his place and is prepared to serve you to any flavor of the best soda water you may wish. NO 9 SHOULD NOT BE PROUD That great weekly, the New York Independent edited bo one of the friendliest white men to our class in America today Mr. Hayes Ward which takes high stand even against narrowness in colored people had the following editorial to say: "No race has a great deal to be proud of. Possibly the Jews have as much as any other now existing, but its record has quite as much that is debased as of that which is glorius. Perhaps the Greeks to whom Galton judges to have been richer in geniuses than any other race that has ever existed might have been as much jusoified as any in indulging in race pride, but not Demosthenes was not sure of it when his Philippics were trying to arouse patriotism of the citiaens, calling on them as 'Men of Athens,' and the "Apology of Socrates" presents to us a humilating picture of a great multitude of a worth less populace and a very few good men charged with corrupting the youth and denying the goes. In modern times race pride has much flourished in France with its insane glory in Germany with its new education and Empire and with the people who call themselves Anglo Saxons. But the chief efflorescence of race pride has been in China, which has regarded all other people his foreign devils. Even the Anglo Saxon prtde cannot equal the Chinese; and if it be a good thing, the Chinese have aforded an example to all the world. There was a time when the Hebrews Were regarded as the Lord peculiar people. There are no pe cuian people any longer. It was the mark of Christianity that it put responsibility of characters on individuals and not on a race. Out of Stones children should be raised up to Abraham. The dignity of humanity is something we have learned in theory, far behind it as we may come in practice. Race makes no difference f only a man's a man. We hear to often the advice given to cultivate race pride and race loyalty. It is not wise advice. The advice to cultivate self respect and loyalty to ones own best ideals and conviction is excellent; but no advice is good to try to cultivate pride in race or loyalty to race. Pride snd loyalty should go to goodness not to blood. Some races to be sure have achieved more than others; yet even so it is not the race but a ceartain few wise men in the race who deserve the praise. "It is not particularly desirable to set up lines of division between races. Why more ghettoes of nationalities or color? We are ever trying to break down the dividing walls between nations. Out of any race may come efficency or even genius. We are all now going to school in the art of wa to a nation which our father thought hopelessly inferior. A. Chicago physician says that drunkards are diseased and suggests means for curing them. The trouble is that a good many of them have no desire to be cured.

With a more close union, a more friendly spirit, and a more nat- ural feeling toward one another would entirely make useless the calling of mass meetings to protect our interests as was done Monday night. Masa meetings are all right but in dealing with problems such as was the cause of the call for the meeting Mon- day night, a mutual and closer under? standing one with” the other would x Shave rid the peopie of the cause with- out any excitement or gathering what- ever. Those of us here who are interested in the welfare o the race—and don't seek to use the race as an Investment— must get closer. together. We must stop this little petty per- sonal bickering, if any, in our own ranks and fortify ourselves against the wiles of the ‘sharks, the shysters ‘the grafters and ‘leg pullers who drift to our city to ply thelr nefarious vo: cation. With that feeling existin which makes the burden of one, th ‘burden of all, and that mutual broth erhood which makes an injury to th “interests of one, an injury to the tn terests of all, we can throw about u that safety to ourselves, our homes ani our loved ones, which is the keynot to progress and prosperity to any peo ple, & Our public’ and private institution need and ought to have the fullest sup port of every member of the race i Wichita, but we can only give ther ‘such support and protection by a unit ea brotherly stand, In dealing with this subject should bear in mind that the intere of the whoje race in Wichita is by f greater than the selfish greed of 01 _ man for the sake of a lousy dollar, matter gn at issue or at what tin ana we @hould be so banded that 1 could act inteligently accordingly. |a community like ours where the op- portunities and advantages are sc Breat, we should forever shun factions or dissention, but should stand as one united people for the protection of each other, our homes and those things whieh tend to“lift @ people, morally financially, mentaly and religiously. Let us be so welded together that We can feel the interest of one another and learn to jean peacefully on the arm of one another and feel that we are supported by a friend. | With this great ‘brotherhood exist- ing it, would be an easy matter for the race to rid itself of objectionable, smart-alecs whd drift to our/city to show thelr fool smartness. It can be done, and, if the race is to maintain’ its present splendid record and standing in Wichita it must be oes DID BUSINESS The colored people held a vers interesting Mass Meeting at th A.M. E. church night and dis- leussed ceartin business whicl was Of an interest to the colored people of Wichita’ Thp meeting was called to or- der by Rev. H. W. King pastor of the church ane after a song and prayer jhe meeting was or- ganized by electing Thos. Glover Chairman and Jas. L. Harper Secretary. Many brilliant speeches were made touching the matter of the eall— afterwhich a committee of five were appointed on resolution to voice the sentiment of the colored people of Wichita. The committee retired and reported the following resolutions which were adopted. When you can do a thing bet- er than any one else, it matters not how humble it may be, you can sit your own price it. No city in the State of Kansas or in the west, bas had a more checkered career of Negro news paper failu-es than has Wichita | For years this city has been ‘known in the field of Negro paper ism as ‘‘the graveyard of Negro papers.” That this isa fact is a fact is not the fault of the people— but is of the men who has sallied forth to publish the respective papers. Our exper- ience with the various shects which have been started and died aborning since we entered the field here has convinced us that ibe stahding statements are well founded. From tlie to time the Search- light has warned the people to ight shy of these grafters who drop into Wichita tograft— and be it said to the credit of the colored people of this city that they have heeded the warning and frown down in proper con- tempt on this class of uninoite¢ stragglers. No people are more genereu: or public spirited than are th people of Wichita both whit and colored and to be continu ally imposed upon by this graft ing element is thread-bearing, We say that it is time that : ‘| halt is called and the intenest > the peaple protected.

We do not see why any should claim to be glad that he was born a Negro or half a Negro—or proud of either his white or Negro blood; for we do not know that either of the races to which he belongs has, as a race, done anything to be proud of. Most of its members on either side, have been of the character of the people whom Carlyle described as living South of the Tweed—'mostly fools,' and we are not proud of fools, nor of commonplace people, much as we may love them."

There is no community in Kansas that has a more law abiding peaceable, industrious and progressive class of colored people than are the colored people of Wichita: The records of the court of Sedgwick county and the city of Wichita will show a less percent of colored people—either in criminal or civil cases—than in any other county or city in the state in porpotion to the population; of the criminal cases against colored men in the past three years—only one was a Wichita man= and each of the other cases the defendant was some person who had only been in Wichita not to exceed three months in any case—which shows that the colored people of this city are very law abiding citizens; While on the other hand in point of thrift, progress, home buying and home improvement the colored people of this city out rank their brothers and sisters in any other city in the state in propotion to population. This is not a vain selfish boast but may it be said to the credit of the colored population of Wichita---it is an undisputable fact. With the continuation of the present progress which they are making in this city they are justly entitled to every word and encouragement.

That seems suite nlensibla SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT Prince Henry of Prussia thinks of coming to America again. Can you blame him? The man' who denies that "woman" spells "angel" doesn't deserve the happiness of being married. Two of the Carnegie medal winners were of the fair sex. Can a lady properly be spoken of as a "hero"? Mr. Alfred Austin says there are no great women poets, but saying "You're another!" is no argument. The Boston Transcript is offering "Good Advice to Graduates." For cold blooded presumption this wins the prize. The scientists have accomplished a good deal, but they have not produced an onion with the fragrance of a bed of mint. Somebody in France has found out how to make cloth out of wood. Still the wooden overcoat has been heard of for ages. If Robert Fulton had known Skipper Barr he probably would not have considered it worth while to invent the steamboat. The Boston Globe wants to know when the great American novel will be written. Great James! Isn't Boston going to write it? A Cincinnati man has married the Princess Pickhoff. American heiresses will regard it as unfortunate that he must remain plain "Mr." Eight of the nine Carnegie medals were awarded for rescues of drowning persons. Those who aspire to be recognized as heroes should learn to swim. Grafting has always been a risky business, particularly when accompanied by lying, from the days of Anasias and Sapphira down to the present time. Princess Cecilia wore a train fourteen feet long when she was married, but although there was a large crowd present everybody was careful not to step on it. Count Boni De Castellane is reported to be anxious to become President of France. We take it for granted that he has no intention of running on the labor ticket. Mine, Pattif's castle in Wales is announced to be sold at a price "regardless of cost or of associations." That's the way the ordinary man usually has to sell his house. King Peter of Servia is probably the only monarch who isn't paying close attention to King Oscar's troubles. King Peter, as everybody knows, has troubles of his own. According to Henry Clews, there are four men in this country who are worth one thousand million dollars. That is to say, they have one thousand million dollars. A Pittsburg man has sent Togo a box of stogies as a token of friendship and admiration. It may be a lucky thing for Japan that Togo has already done his duty. It seems there is a dispute between Canada and Uruguay. A clash between these powers might shake this plant's trolley off, and it is hoped serious trouble will be averted. It is to be feared that Philadelphia got good too quick to remain good very long. A more extended experience at the "mourners' bench" probably would have been better. The San Francisco Chronicle rejoices that the untitled American can go to Paris without the risk of being plown up by a bomb. Hardly. It is usually the innocent bystander who gets hurt. Nan Patterson's fame is not of the lucrative sort. She was offered large pay to go on the stage; at least, it was reported that way; but the people didn't come out. Her career is not fascinating. Dr. Weir Mitchell says the presence of cats has been known to cause bad dreams. And the dreamer is not surprised at it either when he wakes and hears the feline inferno going on in the back yard. The physicians who are treating a 16-year-old boy in New York whose brain is undeveloped are confident that he will be cured within a short time. This ought to be encouraging to many young men in society. "When did you last see your competitions?" was shouted to the Atlantic, and Mr. Marshall shouted back: "Off Sandy Hook!" In the emperor's cup race, as in the first race for the America cup, there was 10 second. One of the diverting scientists suggests that there should be laws making it impossible for any but handsome men and beautiful women to marry. Such a law might be a good think; it would cause a great rush for marriage licenses: ADDS TO SPLENDOR MEN OF BUSINESS RECOGNIZE ADVANTAGES OF ACETYLENE. Famous Summer Hotel, the Grand Union of Saratoga, Has Installed This Best of All Artificial Lights—Means Increased Comfort and Health. 一 Saratoga, June 27.—The very name, "Saratoga," brings to every mind health-giving springs, unsurpassed hotels and beautiful drives. It has been for many years the Mecca for all who admire nature, enjoy good living, and are searching for health, or are simply taking a vacation. The Grand Union, the largest summer hotel in the United States, set among green trees with its long wings enclosing a court with fountains and flowers, grass and trees, music and light, is throughout the season thronged with guests. With the progressive spirit always shown by its management, the Grand Union has again added to its attractiveness by introducing acetylene gas to make still more brilliant the evening hours. The genial proprietors believe in furnishing their guests with the best of everything, and now, after investigating and finding that Artificial Sunlight can be had, they have installed a complete acetylene gas plant to produce it, and have connected upwards of six thousand acetylene burners in and about the house and grounds to this little gas plant. Like, many discoveries of recent years, which are coming into popular favor, acetylene, one of the most recent, is very simply produced. It is adapted for use wherever artificial light is needed and the necessary apparatus can be understood and operated by anyone. The generator in which Acetylene is produced by the automatic contact of carbide and water might be termed a gas plant, as it performs all of the functions of a city gas plant. The acetylene generator can be purchased for a few dollars and in any size, from one adapted to furnish acetylene to ten or a dozen burners for a cottage, up to the large but still simple machine such as is now furnishing Acetylene for six thousand burners in the Grand Union. Outside of large cities the use of Acetylene is quite common. The owner of the country home now demands running water, gas and other conveniences which a few years ago were considered as luxuries, and acetylene gas has met his requirements, and gives him a better and cheaper light than is ordinarily furnished in cities. It is well known that rooms lighted with Acetylene are more comfortable, because cooler, and more healthful because the air is not vitiated. The highest thoughts in life come through the least effort. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 16 oz package contains 16 ozs, while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use her quality. Quality and quantity must win. THIS RAZOR CUTS GLASS. Discovery of New Steel That Will Cut Like Diamond. A new steel that will cut glass like a diamond, carve a railway sandwich with impunity, slash a knotty billet of redwood and yet retain an edge keen enough to accomplish an easy shave is the latest invention of the Sheffield steel makers. The new steel is made by a water hardening process, and is guaranteed to maintain its keenness of edge longer than any steel now in use. Files made from this steel will last four times as long as those made at present, while in pocketknives and razors the new steel promises a durability and keenness that the makers say will prove a veritable blessing to mankind. The steel is to be put on the market in July. The city authorities of Lemberg Germany, had some tickets in this year's Vienna lottery, but decided to sell them, and an official was directed to do so. He forgot and now Lemberg finds itself winner of the first prize. $60,000. Of Wide Interest. Breed, Wis., June 26.—Special—Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered a judgment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the market to-day." And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says: "Last winter I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straighten my back. I did not know what it was but an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one box I can only say they have done more for me than expected as I feel as well now, as ever I did before." Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or some of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease. It is hard to build up your own confidence when you are under the influence of some one else's. LATE MARKET REPORT.

President E. L. Page has been taken to the asylum in Flint suffering from brain trouble. The governor of Moscow has posted notices of the forthcoming mobilization of troops, exhorting the people to be calm. The mobilization is expected June 29. The convention of Modern Woodmen of America came to a close at Milwaukee, Wis., with the installation of officers and the adoption of the usual resolutions. Terrific rains fell in western Nebraska. The Burlington tracks are completely submerged for several miles near Cambridge. All trains are eight to twelve hours late. Delegates to the great political parties, the Constitutionalists and the Progressives, will meet at Tokio to discuss peace, and will then memorialize the government on the subject. President Cabrera, out of his personal funds has decided to establish a practical school of sciences, arts and agriculture under American professors. The tuition will be given in the English language. The disturbances in Eriwan district, where Tartars and Armenians have been engaged in a race war, have broken out afresh. In a series of riots 250 casualties resulted. Troops were unable to preserve order. It is officially denied that President Roosevelt is losing his eyesight. Such a rumor was caused by his decision to go to an oculist to have his glasses adjusted to meet the change of nerves by his growing older. Formal announcement of the creation of the new nation of Norway reached the State department from the American consul general at Christiania transmitting a note from the Norwegian minister of Foreign Affairs. No action toward recognizing the new nation has been taken. The uncompromising element in the Riksdag is actively prosecuting a campaign in favor of presenting to Norway demands representing Sweden's irreducible minimum and obtaining guarantees from Norway before passing a bill conferring to the government powers to negotiate peace. The story has been started that General Miles is to be married to Mrs. Ruth Shippen Hudkoper of Philadelphia. Miles laughs and denies the story. He says: "There is absolutely no truth in the story. It is not true in regard to this lady or any other. I am not in that mood.at present." Meager reports received from Lodz say disturbances have again broken out and that the situation is serious. One hundred men are said to have been killed on both sides. Workshops and factories have been forced to shut down. A fatal case of bubonic plague occurred at La Boca, Panama. The constant arrival of steamers from infected South American ports which are received at La Boca without any extra precautions being taken is a source of contagion. Edwin L. Gillette, a prominent merchant at Niles, Mich., took a pillow and a revolver into the cellar, laid his head on the pillow and shot and killed himself. A warrant charging him with assault on a thirteen-year-old girl had been issued. The convicts in the prison at Lian, Russia, mutinied and, with the assistance of a mob of roughs, demolished eight cells. The police and military restored order, using their swords. Twelve persons were wounded in the riot. The trustees of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association met and appointed a committee to interview Governor Carter and assure him of their confidence in his administration and their continued support. The committee also will ask the governor to reconsider his resignation. --- WHY THEY ARE HAPPY TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIES FROM EXTREME DEBILITY. Husband's Strength Had Been Waning for Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap but was tired and listless all the time," said Mr. Goldstein. "I went to bed completely up by my day's work, and when I got up in the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too, and my kidneys got out of order and caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I could not stir from bed for three weeks." Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of his own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says: "For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in succession under a physician's care. I had headaches, kidney trouble, pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms connected with that weakness to which my sex is peculiarly subject." Trouble had invaded this household and settled in it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. "I was utterly discouraged," said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve remedy which was said to be wonderfully successful. Within a month there were unmistakable signs of improvement in my condition, and within a year I was completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now as good health as I ever had in my life." Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband led me to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months' treatment cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic and regulator, they make pure, rich blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that is what the system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein live at 38 Gove street, East Boston, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by druggists everywhere. A person may be firm and yet very sensitive to influence.

UNSIGHTLY BALD SPOT. Caused by Sores on Neck—Merciless itching for Two Years Made Him Wild—Another Cure by Cuticura. "For two years my neck was covered with sores, the humor spreading to my hair, which fell out, leaving an unsightly bald spot, and the soreness, inflammation and merciless itching made me wild. Friends advised Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after a few applications the torment subsided, to my great joy. The sores soon disappeared, and my hair grew again, as thick and healthy as ever. I shall always recommend Cuticura. (Signed) H. J. Spalding, 104 W. 104th St., New York City." People who have succeeded have no time to give free advice. Baking Economy. By the use of a perfect baking powder the housewife can derive as much economy as from any other article used in baking and cooking. In selecting a baking powder, therefore, care should be exercised to purchase one that retains its original strength and always remains the same, thus making the food sweet and wholesome and producing sufficient leavening gas to make the baking light. Very little of this leavening gas is produced by the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use double the quantity ordinarily required to secure results. Manufacturers of cream of tartar powders ask about twice as much for their goods as that paid for any other baking powder, and food prepared from these cream of tartar powders contains large quantities of Rochelle Salts. Ask your physician what the results would be from the constant dosing of Rochelle Salts. A baking powder that is recommended by leading physicians and chemists, and which is both perfect in quality and moderate in price, is therefore suggested—one that has been found to be "best by test"—"Calumet." From the standpoints of purity, wholesomeness and economy, there is nothing to excel it. Food prepared with Calumet is absolutely free from Rochelle Salts, Alum, Lime, Ammonia, or any injurious substance. are Converts every Year Every day in every year that comes, more housewives are giving up their exhorbitant priced Baking Powders and turning to K C, the honest and reliable, which has stood so well the test of years.
