Give a Woman a Chance.

Compulsory military service for
men, urges a German female advocate
of women's right should be offset by
compulsory domestic service for wom-
en-. On the theory that life In bar
rack and drill in the manual OF arms
have benefited German manhood she
asks, why will not life in the kitchen
and exercise in the use of pots and
pans similarly raise German woman
hood?
If Germany ever organizes a stand
ing army of cooks 1t may force al
Europe to follow its lead Culinary
conscription is a severe measure but
when enforced in Germany other ma
tons might be expected to adopt 1t.
There would be more reason in doing
so than I'm following Germany's lead
in militarism. There is more real
need of cooks the world over than OF
soldiers. II is possible to get along
without fighting, but not without eat.

gether with all the governors of the
southern states and some of the fore
most business men of the nation at

dignity to a convention whose i'm
portance to the country at large and
to the South in particular will be sec
ond to none. Coming as it does just
fifty years after tne division of the

that great commercial union that has

EXTRA SESSION CALL
TAFT ISSUES PROCLAMATION
CONVEYING CONGRESS
APRIL 4.
Bailey Tenders Resignation, Then
Withdraws It-Tariff Board
Bill Defeated.

Washington.-Ninety minutes after
the Sixty first congress ended Saturday
President Taft called the Sixty-second
to meet in extraordinary session on
April 4.
The proclamation states the purpose
OF calling the extra session is to get
action on reciprocity 1t calls atten-
ton to the fact that the house passed
the Mccall bill, but that the senate
had done nothing. In support Of his
demand. the president cites the fact
that the agreement with Canada
forces him to do all in his power to
get legislation carrying out that agree
ment enacted.
1t was at the request of the Demo
Gratis that President Taft fixed the
date of the extra session on April 4.
Just before the closing hour of the
Sixty-first congress Senator Bailey tel
esraphed his resignation to Governor
Colquitt of Texas. The immediate cause
of his action was disgust over the atti-
tude of his Democratic colleagues In
voicing support of the initiative, refer
endum and recall by voting to accept
the constitution of the prospective
state of Arizona. Subsequently he with
drew his resignation
Out OF the smoke of the closing bat
tie emerge these results of larger in
terest:
Positive Results-Proyision of 49,
100000 for the Fertilization of the Pa
mama canal
Provision for two new battleships.
Rehabilitation of the judicial code
regarded as most important for the
amelioration of the laws delays.
Creation of forest preserves in the
southern Appalachian and White noun
tains.
Negative Results-Failure of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement and
consequent certainty of an extra ses-
sion.
Failure of permanent tariff board
bill, which passed the senate, but was
killed by filibuster in the house.
Failure Of the resolution to admit to
statehood Arizona and New Mexico
killed by filibuster in the senate.
Failure of the proposal to increase
the rate of postage on the advertising
sections of the large magazines; but

the subject.
Failure of the resolution providing
for the direct election of United States
senators.
Failure of the general age pension

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home TO settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alasl the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does Of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after I'll.
