a young housekeeper, "it

seems as though I were
making cake all the time

or some committee. I tell
them if they will foil iwthe
recipe in your cook book
and use Cleveland's Baking
Powder they can make
cake just as nice as mine.
I am sure I never made
such cake before. Thanks

NOW WATCyUl FOB IT
Good, Honest Secret Back of the
' Tribune's Y. 1. C. A. Stories,
DETAILS ARE YET WITHHELD
Peculiar Obligation itcsts on Many Scran
ton Adults and Children -An t'nusuul
and Shameful Condition Which
Must He Changed.
There is a reason for all things, and
there exists a vital reason for Tho
Tribune's present series of urtlcles on
the Young Men's Christian association
of Scranton. With this Issue termi
nates the first portion of the historical
and explanatory articles referred to,
while tomorrow will begin the second
und most Important portion.
Although the tlrst batch of stories
created uu unusual Interest, because
they gave a peculiar Insight into Scran
ton's most popular semi-public insti
tution, the series which begins tomor
row will and must uppeul to every fair
minded und loyal adult and child in the
city.
A deluge of questioning letters have
been sent to The Tribune since Jan. 14,
when tin- articles began to iippeur. The
writers wanted to know the real pur
pose of the stories and asked many
other questions concerning the Young
Men's Christian association. cilleries
of n like nature were made verbally or
by letter to the association olllce. For
certain reasons which will later be
explained The Tribune has been pre
vented from answering, und this obser
vation applies to the necessary silence
of the association officers. The ques
tioning and interest moused, however,
have been gratifying and gives evi
dence of a success awaiting the object
The Tribune has in view.
What Association Needs.
l'ntil tomorrow this object cannot be
divulged in detail. At present it can
only be stated that the Young Men's
Christian association of Scranton is In
mod of u sum which will eat a big hole
Into $10,000.
A large amount Is $10,000, but the
cause is ten times greater.
ill' stllliclent money is secured, it
iit'-uns that an institution which lias
attained a greater result than any
other organization In nn equal number
of. years will be permitted to Increase
its usefulness in the same ratio us in
ye i rs past.
The cause Is urgent it Is Imperative,
which indicates that the means must
also be great.
Vhls large sum is actually needed and
It Is l'.cl believed that the public will
stand and see such a brave nnd noble
Ihlnr as the Young Men's Christian as
sociation crippled. It Is itself too
broad-minded for such a result: and the
association Is too useful to permit of
such a contingency.
Now it must not be Inferred that the
association Is on the verge of dissolu
tion or even approaches that condition.
No matter what happens to Its, material
resources, it promises to be alive and
young and vigorous when the present
generation shall have ceased to breathe.
Briefly, but honestly, the local associa
tion needs this money, and tomorrow
The Tribune will reveal Its plan of se
curing for the association as great a
sum as possible. Until then the reader
may gain an Insight Into why the
money is needed by a perusal of what
follows:
Finishing and Famishing Funds.
The Young Men's Christian ussocja
tlon of Scranton has nil that it needs
in permanent and salaried officials,
floor space, departments of work, teach
ers, members, fuel, light, supplies and
incidentals. It is healthy, growing and
ulways "quite well, thank you." What
the association, or rather the building
needs is a Finishing and Furnishing
fund.
It Is a fact a disgraceful fact, many
believe that the building has never
been completely finished or furnished
since It wus first opened; really. It bus
not been half finished or furnished.
This may be a rather bitter truth foi
the progressive Scrantonlan to swal
low., but it is the simple truth.
Whan the building was first occupied
it was but partially equipped nnd the
bare walls poorly finished by the judi
cious expenditure of about $:'.,000. That
was in 1SX7. Since that date no fur
ther outlay has been made, excepting
here and there some patchwork plaster'
Ing has been done, a chair or table re.
paired or something of that kind
Knough bus been done only to keep
things from going to pieces.
During the past few years the free
educntlonal classes have been made an
Important part of the work and it has
made a heavy demand on (allies, chairs
and other articles with the result that
the rest of the association has had to
get along without these necessaries.
Rather peculiar condition of nffalrs,
Isn't It?
Only a Few Illustrations.
A whole page of The Tribune could
be properly utilized to cnll attention to
the Finishing nnd Furnishing needs of
the building. The bath rooms, for In
stance, nre of the makeshift order and
were originally constructed to serve
their purpose temporarily. The condi
tion of the bathing appliances nre to
duy the same as In the beginning. The
gymnasium clnsses and the demands
made upon It have grown until morn
ing, afternoon und night it teems with
boys, youths and business men. The
roof in supported by a number of posts
whose only purpose seems to be In the
way. It is necessary that these posts
be taken out, the roof reconstructed
and new athletic appliances added.
The second and third floors might be
facetiously termed "studies In brow.n
and gray" they are so rough and
gloomy looking. As a mutter of fact
the walls have never been finished nor
tinted, nor has the furniture of these
two floors ever been even partially suf
ficient. The fourth floor, which prom
Ises soon to be utilized for an Industrial
school, contains, or rather It does not
contain much of anything.
The amount mentioned by the asso
ciation officers as necessary to bring
about the desbj)d Flnlshlng.and Furn
ishing Is really many thousands of
dollars In excess of the sum mentioned
in thin column, This makes the tie
plorable condition of the building all
the more shameful nnd The Tribune bo
lleves an Interested Scranton public
will rectify this condition.
Whether the Young Men's Christian
association is deserving of aid or not
Is too well known to invite comment
Its members pay only 40 per cent, of its
annual expenses. That is all they are
nsked or expected to pay. The balance.
60 per cent., Is supplied by outside
friends, whose only benefit Is the satis.
faction of having spent their money
well.
It Is proposed to raise the Finishing
and Furnishing fund by a general sub'
script Ion.
The plan will be revealed In tomor
row's Tribune. 1
Read it carefully. ' .
l'RF.TTY CITY PROBLEM.
Trying to l it $.1:11,000 Expenses to
$275,(100 in Receipts.
After holding twn meetings and mak
ing a cut of over $"l,00l).ln the estimated
city expenditures for the coming year
the estimates committee- will tonight
hold Its third session. There is yet to
be whittled down $2u,GS5.3D In order to
make expenses fit the $275,9X8 available.
Originally the difference wus $ri3,:!S5.7."i.
Tlie biggest slice taken off thus far
was about $23,000, the difference be
tween the cost of a volunteer and paid
lire department. How the committee
will make the further necessary reduc
tion cannot be exactly foretold, but It
Is probable that about $0,000 will be
takon away from the estimate for Con
noll park, and from $400 to $600 shaved
from the incidental nmltitat lottery Items
of ten departments. There will Ktlll be
$10,000 to eliminate and it is believed
that a portion of it will be met by re
ducing clorkshJpB und olllce expenses.
hatever action Is taken ut the sev
eral meetings, such action Is not neces
sarily final. The estimates will led be
mude official until the committee is
ready to report to councils.
TWO DIVORCE CASKS.
Testimony with Kegurd to Tlicin Hoard
Kefoic Judge Idunrds.
Before Judge F.dwurds yesterday evi
dence was taken in the divorce proceed
ings of Claude H. Holly against Corah
Holly. Tlie couple were married June
lfi, lxai, and resided at Park Place. It
Is alleged that Mrs. Holly was more at
tentive to a neighbor of Iter's named
WVscott than she was to her own hus
band, and that she neglected her home
und household duties to bask in tlie
sunshine of Wescott's smiles.
Mary Thomas, Alice Hcnshaw nnd
Mr. Holly testified to the conduct of
Mrs. Holly and Mr. Wescolt. It was In
consequence of this trouble that Holly
left his wife on Dec. 8. lS'JI, he having
become convinced that she was unfaith
ful to him.-
Testimony was also taken in the di
vorce case of Mrs. Margaret Turner
against Joseph R. Turner. Attorney W.
Gaylord Thomas appeared for Mrs.
Turner. Iler husband's home wns at
Olyphant, but he wus a student In Kan
sas In September, 1SS4, when they were
married. They went on a wedding tour
and when they came back he left for
his school in Kansas, leaving his wife
here after him. He never returned to
claim her. Subsequently she learned
that he was llvng with another woman
at Tucoina, Washington. Mrs. Turner
und Mr. nnd Mrs. Thomas Lowry were
among the witnesses sworn in the case.
TO WORK IN l.'XISON.
Health llourds of tlie County Soon to (let
Together.
All the boards of health of Lacka
wanna county will probably be repre
sented ut an Important convention to
be held in this city Tuesday, Feb. 20.
The idea originated with tlie ltlakcly
board, upon whose suggestion the
Scranton body has notified the bonrds
throughout the county und is now plan
ning for tho meeting.
A two-fold purpose is attached to the
meeting: The lesser boards will aim
to get new Ideas, and un arrangement
will be made whereby all the organiza
tions may in the future work In unison.
The Scranton board has been organized
ten years and has quite properly been
selected to father the project for the
reason mentioned and because the vol
uminous nature of its work makes it
the most Important and central of the
county boards.
The convention will convene nt 10
o'clock a. m. In the board of health
rooms.
WITHOUT A HEAD.
Illness and Accident Cripple Incentives
of the Street Department.
Peter Hiltz. the foreman of the street
commissioners' department, who linn
been acting commissioner during the
illness of Mr. Kirst, fell on the ice and
broke his leg Friday night. At present
the department Is without a head, but
fortunately the recent heavy fall of
snow has rendered Impractical much
of the operations in the street depart
ment. Mr. Kirst is still quite ill with rheu
matism nnd possibly may not be able
to leave his home on the South Side
during this winter.

Made Some Fun nt a Board of Con
trol Mcctinij.
TWENTY MINUTE SESSION HELD
Tho Hoard Took No Action on a liccon-
slderntlon of tlie Runt It Conncll Contract-High
School Teachers'
Committee reports.
Twenty-one members responded to
the roll call nt last night's meeting
of the board of control. There was no
reconsideration of the contract award
ing the heating nnd ventilating of Hie
new high school to Hunt ii Conncll.
The matter did not come up, but Mr.
Notz, the member from the Nineteenth
ward, took the floor and made a per
sonal explanation about his vote.
Mr. Not;: voted to award the contract
to Hunt ' fonn'dl and one day last
week the Scranton Times contained an
unfavorable alliitlun to him. .Mr. Xnly.
chaffed a mem-'i-r, whom he did not
name, of going to the Times ofllee and
telling stories ubont him. He made a
caustic and hiimomuq sp-ecli and said
that he voted for the awarding of tli.it
contract on Its merits.
The meeting would have been a very
spiritless one but for Mr. Notz's little
speech. Outside the meeting room there
was u good sized representation of
citizens who expected that the matter
of the contract would be taken up.
After the minutes of the preceding
meeting were read the members started
in with a rush to transact tin- business
that came before the body. The
pay-roll for the month of January was
approved as follows: Teachers' sal
aries, $11,21.1.1:1; substitutes for day
scho.il, $:t84.ro: janitors, $l.2"i0.r,0; night
school teachers, $1,442; night school jan
itors, $14.12.
Mr, Wormstr, f the teachers' com
mittee, repotted that 'the illnuss of
Superintendent Phillips prevented the
committee from making any progress
toward securing a teacher for the train
ing school, but that the committee lias
been In communication with several
teachers who are specialists in the
training school line. However, until
Superintendent Phillips gets well it will
be impossible to make any progress.
Night School Attendance.
Mr. Wormser recommended that tiie
secretary of the board shall communi
cate to the principals of night schools
to close any room where the attend
ance falls below an average of llfleen
pupils, and that thcyc pupils shall be
taken by the teacher In the grade above
the room closed. The board adopted
Mr, Worms !':! suggestion.
Mr. Welsh, of the high school com
mittee, repot ted that the committee de
cided unanimously to recommend that
Contractor Conrad Schroeder's name l.v
substituted as smety on the bond id
L'nglnccr Smith instead of the Ameri
can Surety como.niy. Tlie bond Is fn
$r,,0'i0, and is offered by Mr. Smith t.
guarantee ami indemnify the board
against any litigation on the heating of
the high school. The report of tile
committee was adopted.
The building committee reported f tv
orably on a bill of Sl.sno in favor of
Contractor Kdwlu Hughes for w ;-.:!:
done on the n-w No. 2" building.
The meeting adjourned after having
been Just twenty minutes in session.

When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily chained with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
IjKEAT rciltictioiis-"advertising good
at impossible prices, find no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
w ild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and lind new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to thi store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been tip to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add
