Ladles' day. meaning n day set aside
for ladles only. "A" sms it is correct
to put tho npostropho after the s, and
"C" sajs ft should go before s, as
ladle's da-. I would like to settle a

This would refer to one lady.

Mrs. S.'a Query Answered
To the rditor o tromati'a root!
Dear Mndnm In reply to your In
quiry In last evening's Ledger as to
where the Watt's hymn contains the
lines:
"And while the light holds out to burn
mc vilest sinner may return."
Tho verse reads:
"Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time to Insure the great reword;
And while the light holds out to burn,
The ilcst sinner may return." '
It Is the first verse of n hymn of live
erses and may bo found In the I'rcs
bytcrian hymnals under the dl union of
"Invitation." I haven't n late edition
of tho hymnal where I can sec it just
now, but tho edition that was in use
about 1800 has it as hymn No. 022, and j
Is usually sung to the old tunc of Zephyr,
composed by, Prof. W. B. Bradbury.
MBS. J. W. T.
Thank vou very much Mrs. f. for
answering so promptly. I was sure
that there would be someone among the
readers who would recognize the two
lines of the hymu and I know that Mrs.
H. will bo Aeiy grateful to jou for tell
ing her where to find it.
Adventures
With a Purse
rpo
MY way of thinking the guest
room should breathe tho spirit of
hospitality. Were I the possessor, of a
guest room, what delight 'i should take
in dressing It 'up I Dainty, bright cur
tains should adorn the shiny, bright
windows, and nlwnys there would be a
lov bowl of happy flowers to nod n gay
welcome. By the table nt the bedside
or at the dresser, if I could not have a
table, would be one of the candlesticks
I saw today. You know the attracthc
tea sets that come in blue and old rose
and yellow? Well, tlfeso candlesticks
are of the same ;are, so there could be
one to match the color plan of the
guest room ; and here is the fascinating
part: each has a little snuffer which fits
over the top of the candle. Such a
quaint little candlestick I have never
beheld, and the price is but twenty-five
cents.
Every woman should have at least
one jelly or marmalade jar for the din
ing room or tea table, particularly when
such lovely ones can be had for fifty
cents. They arc of thin nloss. with
g'raccful flowers etched I believe jou
soy on them, and each has its bright
silver-finish lid and spoon.

ticles mentioned in "Adventures
With a Purse" can be purchased,

Get Your Next
Winter's Coal Now!
Philadelphia will face a serious situation next fall
J. Ernest Richards Esq. ,
Chairman of The Coal Exchange Committee,
Philadelphia.
Richards :-
The
statement issued
by
his investieation has lad him to t.Via onlv nonoliision
any intelligent man who studies the subject. It could be
this sensational talk about profiteering in coal would stop, because it
has no existence whatever in fact. If anything is perfectly clear it is that
ooal is not going to be- any cheaper for a long time to come. It is equally
clear the price is going to advance monthly after May 1st for a number of
months.
The Puel Administration is out of business, and I have no interest in
the ooal question beyond that of any citizen, but I am constrained to say a
word because my experience has taught me that unless next winter's ooal is
put in during the Spring and Summer a serious situation is liable, indeed
likely, to arise in the Autumn.
Vye have had no trouble with the coal situation the past winter for
two reasons 1. The mild weather, and 2. Beoause from April, 1918, to
October 1, 1918, 45 per cent, of the year's supply was put in the cellars of
householders. This is far above the average. Now if 45 per cent, can
go in again there will be no trouble, but if householders wait until
Autumn and early Winter to put in ooal not only will coal NOT be mined in
any large quantity during the Summer, but even if it were mined it could not
be delivered sufficiently rapidly, because Philadelphia coal dealers, cannot
deliver more than about 10,000 tons a day, and if everybody want3 coal at
the same time a great many are going to "get left." Coal dealers cannot
be expected to lay in 'large stocks of coal, which they must pay for immediately,
and carry it, in 'the yards until householders find it convenient to purchase,
nor have they the yard capacity for carrying large stocks of coal. And
they could not deliver it rapidly enough when extremely cold weather arrives
if they had it in stock." Therefore, unless the consumer uses his coal bin
this summer for storing coal for next winter's supply he is either going to
have to pay a higher price for his coal or not be able to get all he wants
at any price.
I write this letter without the slightest suggestion or request from
iou can maxe any use ox
a repetition of the experience we had here in the Autumn and Winter of 1917-18,
which in some degree is Biire to recur, unless cellars are filled this Spring
and Summer.
