THINGS THAT JUST CAN'T BE
BOUGHT "ON ACCOUNT OF THE WAR"
Commodities We Must Now Do Without Because
They Come "From Germany" or Other
War-Stricken Countries
DON'T you tiro of being told, when you
go Into a shop nnd nsk for some par
ticular commodity you'vo been In the
habit of buying for years, that It Just
can't bo had "on account of tho war?"
"For more than two years," writes M.
G., in an Interesting letter, "this expres
sion has been following us about re
lentlessly, and no matter how strong may
be our dlsllko of tho hackneyed phhiso
hero Is ono caso nt least when n popular
laying refuses to bo slang, for nil It Is on
every one's tongue, and where, usage has
not robbed a current coinage of Its original
emphasis.
"As a rule, stock expressions are of lit
tle consequence. They como mid go, the
whim of the moment, and whero they
grate on our sensibilities wo bury our
resentment with knowledge of tho fact
that as soon as tho public tonguo has
licked the spice out of them thoy will bo
consigned to tho nrcheologlcal grave
yard and we will hear them no more. But
such Is not tho caso this time. 'On ac
count of the war' has como to stay, at
least as long as present conditions exist,
everybody Is up ngnlnst It, and whtlo
'hackneyed' to the point of exhaustion wa
must mouth tho common utterance as
best we can.
"Perhaps It Is with the housewlfo that
It occasions tho most surprise. Sho has
heard it less often. The business man is
already used to it, so much so that he
has adjusted himself to it as a necessary
evil, and In every hitch of tho commer
cial cogs anticipates Its familiar refrain.
But womankind, moro because she Is not
In qutto so close a touch with the busi
ness world, still feels a flush of lesent
ment when sho is mot nt tho counter
with tho customary affront of tho fdiop
clerk, 'so sorry, madam, but 5011 can't
B.et that on account of the war.'
"That reminds mo of a ronveintion I
overheard a couple of days ago We were
In a drug store, when an old lady ontored.
She wanted a certain kind of medicine

Three years ago she had had an attack
of indigestion, which sho described with
great avidity, and the medicine was Just
fine. As usual, it was not to be luid. 'This

LOWER MERION CALLED
MODEL BY ROOSEVELT
Colonol Praises Method by "Which Com
munity Obtained New Railroad
Station From P. R. R.
Tho community of Merlon can stand ns
a model In civic matters, according to
Colonel Roosevelt, Whilo discussing com
munity service, tho Colonel recently said
that tho work accomplished by tho Merlon
Clvlo Association was a striking example
of what could bo accomplished by public
spirited, wideawake citizens.
Mr. Roosevelt said he was referring f
the way In which Merlon obtained a hand
some now railroad station. For years vir
tually all tho communities of tho Main
Lino havo been asking the Pennsylvania
Railroad Tor new stations, but In vain.
Littlo Merlon, however, was able to get
a $30,000 station and a postofllco in tho
bargain. This was accomplished as fol
lows: Men of Merlon first did things them
selves. They spent J30.000 In three years
for roads, lights, trees and many forms of
Improvements. All thl3 In addition to tho
regular taxes. They made Merlon look so
fine that tho station grew bhabbler and
ihabbler by- comparison.
The work accomplished, aierlon men then
went to the Pennbylvanla Railroad after
a new station It was explained that tho
railroad could not afford to lag behind
whero the community was going ahead at
Mich a lively pare.
Railroad official? at first said they could
not afford to give Merlon a station nnd not
follow suit at Overbrook, Narberth, Ard
more and Haverford. To which Kdward Bok
and the Merlon Civic Association replied.
"Have they done what we 'have done?
When they do, give them a station."
Merlon won.
The. Tidy Again!
If any article of household decoration has

article is the tidy or to bo correctly Early
Victorian, the antimacassar, which flour

Major PendennU and Miss Becky Sharp.
And now the tidy is back again, made of

of sewing wo did nt our thlmblo club this

and have worked mi them nt odd times evci

It Is quite long, much longer than Anne's

whlto yarn, using a much tighter stitch
ihnti nlin used for the rest of the sweater
Tho belt slips tlimugh knitted sttaps and
fastens at the side front with two flat
crocheted buttons nt white wool.
Anno always likes to he distinctive, nnd
declnted tlmt she was going tn do some
thing different with her sweiiter. We saw
It growing under her fingers, and It seemed
to bo exactly llko ours with the exception
that It was of a Butt, apple-grc.cn color In
stead of led or tan Sho added a deep
sailor collar, knitted of white j.cin. and
cuff.t n ttlllo wider than Madges Then
she made two patch pockets in fiotit vvlli .1
tui nod-down border of white. Still lha
sweater was very similar tn ours. Uven
tho seven white docketed buttons down the
front wasn't nn thing startlngly new.
Madge and I smiled to ouisolves, for we
couldn't Imagine what Anna's "something
different" wns going to be Uut when she
slipped the finished sweater on and buckled
a wide belt of black patent leather about
her waist vvc weie fenced to admit that It
was a new and distinctive feature. On
Anno it looks stunning, but not every girl
could wear such n wldo belt.
My sweater Is a lovely shade of tan shet
lind, nnd I knitted it very carefully. It
tits perfectly, nnd has just enough llaro
below the waistline to ho smnrt. I-'or the
collar and cuffs t used whlto angora, the
kind that is used for babies' caps and grows
tender. If a leg Is selected, beat It well
with a rolling pin beforo putting It down
to cook, ns this will help to soften the
libers of tho meat. Then wlpo tho meat
carefully, trim It nnd remove any super
fluous fat. If a piece of the loin is se
lected, It should bo jointed between the
bones to rendci tho carving easier Weigh
tho meat and then roast it in tho usual
way As a rule, mutton Is liked well done
A clear gravy should bo made to servo with
It, and tho meat must bo very hot. If a
leg of mutton Is found to bo too large
a Joint . for a small family. It Is a good
plan to havo It cut In two, when half only

boiled, braised or cooked In some other

but again you aro too tired.
WATCH YOUR HAITI
So day follows day and your hair Is
neglected. Soon It loes Its sheen nnd
begins to fall out. nnd you wonder what

beautiful ni ever.
If tho youthful freshness nnd beautv
of tho complexion Is to bo preserved It
must bo given dally onto from young girl
hood on through the years. If you neglect
to nmss.iRo your frtce with cold cream everv
night bpforo letlring, to remove tho dust
and grime, it will, beforo mnnv vears, be
