. ny MRS. M. A. WILSON
(Ootvriaht. HIO, by Urs, U. A. Wlhon. All
rinhtt rvstrved.)
AMATTKlt that today js forcing Its
way Into the public attention li that
although wo hnve many large markets
In various parts of the city, yet ti.c
housewife reaps little nctitnl benefit
from the flood tide or market glut
and why? Hecau.sc the average shop
keeper 1 afraid to lay in more than
Lin usual ammiut why Is this? He
cause he cannot depend upon you, ns
did the shopkeeper of yesterday, who
in his day had only to tell Mrs. Ulank
that he suspected that he'd have some
real bargains if she desired to can, nnd
you can rest assured that the house
wife was on hand to obtain her share
of the flood tide harvest ; if she had
any great distance to go, then she had
Johnnie come along with his little ex
press wagon to help hnul the food home.
Then all hands helpi'd to speed the
product to the jars.. In those good old
days the housewife had from sixty to
seventy -live and even one hundred jars
of tomatoes stored against the cold
wintry days and sho bought theso to
matoes for from forty to fifty to sixty
cents per basket for prime fruit.
Today the housewife bemoans nnd
frcta because of the high cost of living
why? Because she is unwilling to do her
part; she wants, even demands, the
produce incrchntit to deliver her the
produce and therefore the small mer
chant, knowing that to take n joblot of
these strictly fresh tomatoes direct from
tho farm and then contend with the
task of delivery, means an added
burden for him hence he posses up
these direct bargains and caters only to
his regular order trade.
Oet the neighboring housewives to
gether and have a frnnk talk with your
local produco man nnd give him to un
derstand you will co-operate with him
and take your portion if he will ar
range to give you the benefit of tho
local market conditions. So keep In
miud, if you wish to help down the high
cost of living individually, that you
must co-operate. This means that
every time, don't ha, "Oh. well let
Mrs. So-niid-So take my share this
time I don't feel like it" you are
simply evading your part of the scheme.
Hence, like the good soldier jou were
during the war put your shoulder to
tho wheel and help push the high cost
of living off the peak, mi that It mu
start on its downward trend, for in this
busy world of ours there are ninny
worthy people who liuve not had n suf
ficient material increase to combat the
high cost of living.
Now, as you spend your money, arc
you sotting full value nnd nil thut you
pay for? Do jou know that every
package of food must either be marked
on tbu outside of the wrapper or bag or
the sales blip with the net weight of the
contents? This applies to every pur
chase whether you bring it home with
you or it is delivered by the shop
keeper io see to it that full value for
your money spent is received. This
means If the article Is a standard brand
of food it has the net weight contents
plainly marked on the package. If
purchased by the pound the bill should
specify tho net weight of each package
and the fraction of each pound.
Kvery housewife should own a de
pendable pair of cnles so that all pur
chases may be checked up. Men hunts,
as a rule, arc not dishonest, but when
rushed they frequently make mistakes.
So if you have an accurate scale to
weigh jour purchase, then any dis
crepancy maj be quickly rectified.
Now a woid about the scale. The
spring or dinl-balance settle that Is
usually sold In the house furuishinx
department stores cannot be depeuded
upon for accurately testing the grocer's
weight. Select a good pair of balance
with weights and know that they will
save the'.r cost in a jear, not only with
checking up the grocers, but in using
the provisions for the home, namely in
canning and baking.

this or that but purchase by the half
quarter, pound, doreu or quart.
The by-products of lamb arc reason
ably priced hearts sell for from twelve
to fifteen cents; kidneys from threo to
twenty-five cents. I.umb liver is equally
as good as calves' liver and very much
lower in price. Try them for the eco

con curne, being all lean meat, with no
waste Ye olde-time housewife made a

One tcaipoon 0 ialf,
One-hnlf teaspoon of pepper,
7'tro teaspoons of 'Worcestershire

Mix and then turn into a loaf-shaped
pan nnd bake In u slow oven for one
half hour. Remove, let cool and chill.
This meat can be rut into slices and
served cold or made into sandwiches, j
I'so nil the trlmminjs and bones for

The True Story
Superstition burnt Joan of Arc at
lleeause he lived for a great idea,
chains.
"The Crazy Wrangler,' Galileo, was anathematized for insisting the Blhle
v.as intended to teach us how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go.
Stephenson was branded "a hare-brained no-account" because he strove
tJ materialize the piston of his pipe dreams.
They excoriated Copernicus for holding that tho earth danced attendance
on the sun, Instead of the sun on the earth.
"Mad, bad, Byron" earned his calumny becauBO ho defied und rose above
the shuckling rules of writing of his day.
Human nature heems so constituted, it would nhvajs rather jeer innova
tion than cheer in ovation.
It is so much easier to reject than to respect, to scold than to uphold
that standpatism, envy nnd cusscdness generally reign supreme and make
most of us cheer a grudge against the new, and grudgo It a cheer.
The man whose eyes are stronger, whose vision is longer and whose thought
is deeper than the mob's immediately become its prey.
Every contribution to progress hns emanated from the heart and brain of
an individual whom the multitude first fiercely tried to down and deny.
If history teaches us anything, it teaches ns not to get excited over or
take too much stock in accusations, insinuations and attacks Incessantly leveled
at contemporary idealists.
The years to conic frequently tell a different and the true story.

Disapproves of Column
Dear Cynthia Having arrived In
Phllly but a few mouths ago, It was
quite a surprise to me to see a "Please
Tell Me What to Do" column In uuch a
worthy paper, being cheapened by pub
lishing "passionate" love affairs of the
deadly and less deadly of tho sexes.
The topics discussed aro ridiculous,
and such nom de plumes as "De Jure,"
"Top Sergeant," "Butterfly" nnd numer
ous other silly writers should be barred.
I expect they will rae, and you will
censor me, and say It Is here that they
come for advice nnd are leally In earn
est, even though of such tender ages.
However, I think there Is a majority
who agree with mo when I say it Is all
tommy-rot and the "I'm considered to be
a classy kid by the oppos.te sex" should
stay at home and try to learn something
In their empty heads
Youra for the betterment of the col
umn, KXaiJV.VD.
Cynthia welcomes criticism, bo It for
or against the column Hhe Is sorry you
disapprove. Would you mind explaining
Just why "England" Is a better nom de
plume than "De Jure," "Ton Sergeant"
or "Ilutterfly"T
Did you study the English language
at school or did you Just naturally begin
to speak It and write It?
It's a Splendid Idea
Dear Cynthia Is It wrong to save
money with the man you love? I am
sixteen, ho Is seventeen years old We
havo been together a very long time,
always loved each other as friends, till
lately we havo promised to be true to
each other. We do not want to marry
yet. Hut we want to eau money. I
am still going to school. This Is my
last year and then I want to work. it,.
Is through high school, nnd he has a good
position now. Every mouth we. want to
put money In the bank He said I
should nut It in my name. Will vou
answer It, please? K. M. S,
It Is a very goqd Idea for you both
to save and If the boy wants to put It
In your hunda let him do m, but deposit
what he saves In his name and what
you save In yours. It Is better so. You
can lump the amounts together if later
you car-y out your plan to inairy, nnd
want to share your savings Hut until
that time keep It separate. Also be sure
to keen a little U00K In which you will
write down the amount he gives you and
the date, and give nun a written receipt
for every cent you handle This is only
business and no matter how much ho
loves and trusts you and you love nnd
trust him, It's nlwayB wise to have any
money transactions down In black and
white.

and unhappy. My wife had no ambi
tions, outside of her home, except extrav
agant clothing and moving picture. The
real art or anything worth while never
nppealed her. Although we have ,1 won
derful library ahe never reads an thing,
not even a newspaper. We have nothing
In common. I can't talk to her of any
business, as sho Is not Interested, ex
cept that it means ndded finances For
years and years I have realized my mis
take, and for many years knew there
would have been somo one else whom I
might have had and been happy For
many yearB after my marriage I have
had many occnslons to he with another
woman, who is intoresied In history, lit
erature, politics, eta, and, above all one
of the best wives, and mpthers Sh. did
not know of my personal Interest In hrTt
neither that I learned to love r r for
her most beautiful cliaructer. M soul
craves for her, for such a wife viould
l.uve beon a treasure. Hut, ' I'istri . d '
I ainnot woo her Neither of us is free
Hut I am master of my own mind in so ,
far that I can go on and on lo tig and '
cherishing her silently, until peih.ip
some day, who knows, the end of my 1
dream? I can, and so can you, continue 1
on and on, to remain faithful to our
wives for the children's sake, and that
Is tho most manly course. Were w t0

love for.us, perhaps, forget and forsake
all for us, I feel there would bo a day
when remorse would cause them to hate

When Introducing a man to a woman
the usual form Is, "Miss Cadwallader.
may I present my friend, Mr. Neville?"
It roes without saying that a man
does not Introduce casual acquaintances
to any woman, unless he has obtained
advance permission. It la the woman's
right to decide whom sho wishes to
know. It may be taken for granted
that she will be glad to meet the Inti
mate friends of her friends, an In the
Introduction, where a more cordial greet
ing takes the plaoe of tho customary
bow of acknowledgment. There Is much
congenial philosophy In tho old Oaellc
saying 1 "I like tho pecple I llko to like

"Crosapatch, crosapatch I" Molly
called across tho playground at Edith.
"Ho by yoursolf, then! You never want
to do anything anybody elso docs, any
way." "Stop making faces, Edith," said the
teacher. "If you can't see the board
come to the front of tho room."
Edith changed her seat often during
those three years In school, but her
temper and her headaches grew worse
Instead of better. One day tho school
doctor examined her eyes.
"Tell your mother to take you to the
beet oculist she can llnd," he ndvlsed.
"This should have been attended to long
ago."
Today when Edith looks at her les
son books through her glasses the let
ters stand still In even black rowB across
tho pages. But ahe Is three years behind
In school, nnd Is very sensitive because
sho Is much older tnon other girls of
her class.
The Department of Public Health ad
vises every parent who expects to enter

parochial school In September to take
that child to nn oculist, to n free hos

Adventures With a Purse
IPICKRD up a fancy pasteboard box
nnd lifting the lid peeped inside, to
find n little poem printed on n card,
headed "Dames of Sllenre." I laughed
to mj'Hclf and felt like the old fanner,
who upon seeing a glrnffc for the first
time said, "there nln't no such animal."
Hut there they were before my eyes,
two little ladles with perky bonnets
nnd bright red dresses. They were
made of flat pieces of wood, u corner
of which extended in n small Hat Map
outside the edge of the dress. This
piece fits between the window and the
sash, nnd the little "Dames of Silence"
will prove that they nre quite cor
rectly named, when they prevent the
windows from rattling on windy nights.
They nre eighty-five cents and would
moko a very acceptable gift.
Tho girl with the bobbed hair or
short cuds who is not fortunate
enough to possess "curly locks," will
appreciate the hair curlers I saw. They
are small und made of wire covered
with a fabric of ioina sort. I know
a girl who has bangs, nnd 'when
venturing fortli on a damp day, she
puts her lmlr up in one or two of theso,
tuckH them under her lint and sullies
forth, to be nil curled "an' everything"
when she renches hor destination. Two
packages can be bought for live cents
nnd each package contains from eight
to teu curlers,

Some of them wero going for the rest

There was nothing very much to see

A thunderstorm went scurrying past
with the scenery one timoj neat, care

It was just as wo left one of these

Teddy Dog lay comfortably curled
up on the grass in front of the porch,
and a few stray chickens pocked busily
about the side yard.
It wja a dismal little place, ns drab
and dull as tho little glrl'a dress, which
was meant to be black and white, but
looked gray.
She stood all alone on the little porch,
all alone except for Mary Jane Doll and
Teddy Dog.
And her eyes had the most wistful ex

Coffee Stains on Shoes
To th Editor of tt'omnn' root;
Denr Madam Will you please tell me
how to remove coffee stnlns from a pair
of good white linen shoes without Injur
ing the material? MRS. T. A. l3.
Soon and water rhould remove this
stain and the regular whltenor that you
use on your ehoes will cover It, If there
Is any remaining stain. If It Is too dark
a etaln to come out, however, try using
a paste made of French chalk nnd
chloroform. Spread this ovor the stain
and allow It to remain until It dries.
Then brush It off. This will not Injure
tho material of tho shoe In the least.
Ico Cream Stain
To ttie I.'ilitor 0 ll'ommi'a J'aot:
Dear Madam Will you please tell me
how I can remove a ohocolatn cream
stain from a light pink crepe de chine
dress without injuring tho material?
The dress has been worn only once, nnd
bo I wouldn't want to give lt to tho
cleaner so Foon, as It Is too expensive.
A DAILY R1CADKR.
You can remove this stain quite easily
bv rubbing It with enrbon tetrachloride
which can be bought at tho drug store.
This does not Injure the material at nil
and will take the stain right out. If
there Is any grease stain remaining
after .the bulk of tho spot hau been re
moved place It between heavy wrapping
paper nnd press It with a moderately
warm Iron until the greaso Is absorbed

An Autumn Party
To lli Uilltor n Woman's Page,
Dear Madam I am a dally reader of
tho "Woman's Kxchange" nnd have en
Joyed lt very muoh. I need a little ad
vice concerning a party we aro going
to have tho tlrst week In September.
What games would ho suitable to play,
for you aeo It Is an Informal party. Tho
guestK" ages range from eighteen to
thirty-five, How should we decornte
and arrange the room? The refresh
ments arc to be served downstairs and
the games to bo played upstairs What
should be served? ANXIOUS. .
I am sending you some game to play
at your party. It would be better not to
ha.o any decorations In the room where
you pluy tho game, Just make aa much
room as possible and keep the decora
tions for tho dining-room.
Pse baskets lllled with huge bunches
of the nutumn wild flowers In each cor
ner of tho room or wherever there Is a
place that they would look well. Cover
the baskets with either crepo paper or
tho heavy paper that Is used for kin
dergarten work, In somo bright, pretty
color, and have them all the Mine. As
a hint that autumn Is coming have a
sweet grass basket In the center of the
tabln filled with Abrllllant apples and
somo of tho earliest autumn leaves. You
could serve Ico cream and cako, a
punch, with sandwiches and small
cakes, or a salad and potato chips, with
rolls and enffeo and Ice cream, nccordlng
to tho kind of refreshments you want.
I hope you will havo a very successful
party.
To Miss L. B.
Since you do not know very many
people to ask to your Party, why don't
you make It Just an Informal affair and
either call up or seo your friends about
It? Then you could ask them to bring
their friends with them. You could have
a watermelon party. That is always
good ut this time of year and people al
ways enloy It. I am sending you some
games that you can play during the
evening, and then serve your water
melon on the porch or lawn about the
middle of the evening. He sure to have
some cake and candy for those who do
not like watermelon.
If you hnve this Informal kind of
fiarty you can ask the boys to bring their
nstruments, because they would not be
likely to bring them unless you requested
