SAYS MAN SHOULD GET MEAL
Bride Tells Court Spouse Left Her
Rather Than Prepare
Breakfast.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Mrs. Peter Hus-
ter, sixteen years old. of 622 Moyamen-
sing avenue. told Judge Ferguson, in
desertion court, that she believed it
to be the duty of good husband to
get up in the morning to prepare
breakfast.
The young bride gave her views
while testifying against her husband,
who, she said, deserted her because
she would not leave her warm bed
on cold mornings to get his breakfast
ready" Judge Ferguson was inclined
to side with the husband. but said it
was a very fine point to raise. and
thought an order against the husband
for FIVE dollars a week would be the
best way out of the difficulty.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Econon


Have you ever stopped to think just
what economy" in baking really means
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving q little on the cost Of the mate
rials-the flour. eggs. etc.-is economy.
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder. and save loc to &c.
But both are wrong. For the real econ
omy-the economy that counts-consists In
doing away with the failures that 90
often waste far more than Is saved In
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond doubt is the reason
tie Of millions OF cooks It absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-which in the end Is the same thing
as economy.

WON'T BLOCK TARIFF BILL
Penrose Says No Minority Re-
port Will Be Made.

Washington, July Ex-senator Penrose.
ranking Republican member Of the FL
nance Committee. said to-day that there
would be no concerted minority action
against the Democratic tariff bill. and no
minority report from the committee.
1.-The feeling is that any amendments
we NAV offer will be defeated, anyway"
said Mr.. Penrose. There is neither time
nor opportunity to go into the whole tariff
proposition. The Republican party can
not get control OF the government until
the next Presidential election, and the
wise policy is to wait until that time TO
take up the tariff question afresh when
new business conditions present them
selves to be dealt with.
Republican Senators realize that the
business of the country wants this mat
ter disposed of at the earliest possible
date. whether the bill is good or bad. At
the same time we feel ii "a duty TO debate
the bill 20 a reasonable extent and TO
make a thorough tariff record for the in
formation Of the public and for future
reference"
Majority members of the Senate Finance
Committee met again to-day to review
the exhaustive report that is to be SUBJ
mitted when the general debate opens on
Friday.
