The Republican Register Washington County Friday July 9, 1900 Matriomony and Muffins. Matrimony and Muffins have a closer relation in reality than they have in epigram. To manage a husband requires skill and discretion and patience. To make muffins requires these same qualities of mind. Furthermore, the woman who does one can usually do the other. A Circuit judge of Cook County who heard thirty-eight divorce cases in one morning wearily said that he thought the solution of the divorce problem might be a square meal for both parties. But the art of managing husbands has filled libraries of books--usually written by women who have never had husbands--the art of making muffins may be acquired in a day and explained in a paragraph. The patience necessary demands that you take your time in making the measurements. The skill is in making your batter correctly so that it won't be too stiff. The discretion, which is most important of the three, is in the choice of the ingredients, especially of the baking powder. The best muffins are made only of the best baking powder. No substitutes and nor inferior article will accomplish the result. Perfection is attained only by the use of perfect materials. And the only perfect baking powder is Calumet, which received the Highest Award of the World's Pure Food Exposition. It is Perfect in quality and moderate in price.
