Henrietta D. Grauel
Educating the Grocer
Mayor Mitchell of New York City
has a food supply committee working
under his direction in an attempt to
discover ways of securing food for less
money or, in other words, to reduce the
high cost of living.
One of the first messages this com
mittee sent out was that food purchased
in bulks was from a third to one-half
lower in cost than carton goods. They
expected that women would boycott
package goods in favor of bulk articles
and that food prices would come down
at once. But their message was not
news to housekeepers who know well
enough that they must pay for fancy
packages and the extra of pack
ing them and all.
For twenty-five years .Public Opinion
has been schooled to avoid contam
inated foods and for longer than that
the public has tried to educate grocers
and manufacturers; all persons who
handle foods in fact, to be cleanly. But
education is a matter of slow growth.
So the housekeeper, in self-defence,
unwillingly pays a high price for foods
that are protected in air-tight pack
ages.
That all package goods are sanitary
is hot true but they are convenient to
handle and to store in the home larder
and they appeal to the eye as the best
to be had. The New York Food Supply
Committee say plainly in their report
that factories must be inspected .'is well
as groceries and markets, and that
sometimes manufacturers are as uncon
scious as retailers. They urge women to
remember that they hold the remedy for
high prices in their own hands, market
reports are published for everyone to
study and if a store displays food in
unsanitary ways it is a woman's pre-

rogrative to buy elsewhere.
Shortage in weight is another im
portant item to consider; the scales are
not always to blame, cartons are fre
quently too heavy, very often sacks and
holders that are unnecessarily thick are
used. A pair of scales in the home
will tell plainly when a purchase is light
weight.
New York's mayor is not trying to
discriminate against package goods in
this investigation, as some persons
claim, he is only telling positive facts
regarding prices of foods to families
who have not had the matter explained.
The manner in which this knowledge
is being disseminated is interesting; it
is being sent, in the form of recom
mendations, to the public school pupils
of the great city, the children carry the
message of economical buying into their
homes.
"And a little child shall lead them."
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
"I cleaned some light Hangings'with
gasoline and the dirt came out but there
is a ring where the spots were that looks
worse than in the beginning. What
can I do?"
Reply.—Wet the rings again with
gasoline and lay dry salt on the places
and rub it gently; let the gasoline evap
orate through the salt and the -ringed
marks will disappear. These rings show
there was water in the gasoline.
. « *
"Can you tell me how to brighten the
varnished parts and the top and leather
seats of my twins' cab.—Mother.""
Reply.—Mix one pint of boiled lin
seed nil with a pint of cider vinegar
and let stand over night; shake well and
apply with a sponge. It will not be
necessary to rub hard and you will be
pleased with the result.
May Lose Jobs If They Ask For Raise
Wilkes-Barre, May 24.—Judges of
Luzerne county have made it plain to
tipstaves and i-ofirt criers that if thev
attempt to take advantage of the Cat
lin bill, which gives them a substantial
increase in salary, they stand a splen
did chance of lowing their jobs. The
judges say that the increase is unwar
ranted.
York Cigar Stores Closed Sunday

terday all of the barber shops were

CHAPTER XXIV.
The Count Want* the Castle. ;
I SAW them board the train. In
my heart there was the memory
of a dozen kisses I had bestowed i
in repentant horror upon the half i
asleep Rosemary, who. God bless her |
little soul, cried bitterly on being tor
away from my embrace.
"Well," said Billy Smith, taking me j
by the arm a few minutes later, "let's
have a bite to eat and a cold bottle
before we go to bed. old chap. I hope
to heaven sbe gets through all right.
I am strong for her, aren't you?"
"I am," said I. with conviction, com
ing out of a daze.
He led me off to a cafe, where he
seemed to be more or less at home, and
where it was bright and gay for him,
but gloomier than the grave to me.
.••e • • • e
I drove the car home the next day.
When be got down at the garage. Brit
ton shivered and drew a prodigious
breath. It was as If he had not breath- ,
ed for hours. We had gone the dis
tance In little more than half the time
taken on the trip down.
"My word, sir." was all he said, but
there was a significant tremor in bis
voice, it smacked of pride.
Mrs. Titus placidly inquired bow we j
bad got along and appeared quite re-1
lleved when I told her we hslf uaugbt
the train at K. Jasper Juulo? reveal
ed a genuine Interest in the enterprise,
but spoiled It all by saying that Alice,
now prematurely safe, was most likely
to leap out of the frying pan Into the
fire by marrying some blithering for- !
eigner and having tbe whole beastly
business to do over again.
"How soon do they go?" asked Poop
endyke late that afternoon, after lis
tening to Mrs. Titus' amiable prophe
cies concerning Aline's future activl-,
ties and getting my harassed ear In a
moment of least resistance.
"I don't know," said I hopelessly. I'
had beard about all I could endure con
cerning his lordship's magnificent es
tates In England, and the sort of a
lord be was besides. 'There's nothing
to do but wait. Fred."
"She Is a remarkably fine woman,
but"— He completed the estimate by
shaking his bead, trusting to my intel
ligence, 1 suppose.
We waited two days for word from
tbe fugitives. Late In the afternoon
of the second day Britton returned
from town with a telegram for me.
It said:
Cargo safely aboard Pendennla, Captain
Pardee commanding' Clear at 2 today.
Everything satisfactory. C. G. RAFT.
No sooner was tills reassuring news
received than Mrs. Titus complacently
set about having her trunks packed.
The entire household was In a stew of
activity, for she bad suddenly decided
to catch the 8 o'clock train for Paris.
I telephoned to reserve accommodation
on the Orient express from Vienna and
also to have It stopped at the town
across the river, a concession secured
at a no inconsiderable coat
She was to travel once more as my
mother.
"You will not fall to look as up wtM*n
you come to New York, will you. Mr.
Smart? Mr. Titus will not be happy
uutll he has expressed to you in person
his endless gratitude. You have been
splendid. We shall never forget your
kindness, your thougbtfulness, your—
your forbearance. I—I"
Upon my word, there were real tears
In the dear lady's eyes! ' "I forgot and
forgave much In recognition of this In
stant of genuine feeling on her part
It was not necessary for her to com
plete the sentence so humbly begun.
•Their depnrture wu made with some
degree of caution, Mr*. Titus rather
conslilerntely reminding herself that
my Interests were at stake. I saw
them aboard the train. She played her
part admirably—l will gay that for her.
She lifted her veil so that I could be
stow a farewell filial kiss upon her
cheek. Jasper Junior's eyes popped
very wide open at this, and as be
shook my baud warmly at parting be
said:
"You are a wonder. John—a sure
enough wonder. Why. hang It all, she
doesn't even let dad do that." '
But Jasper Junior was very young,
and he couldn't understand.
At last we were to ourselves, my ex
tensive household and 1. l,ate that
night 1 sat in my study considering tbe
best means of reducing m.v staff of
servants and In computing, with din,
may. tbe cost of being a princely boat
to people who had not the least notion
what it meant to do sums In economic
subtraction. It was soon apparent to
me that retrenchment, s(ern and re
lentless, would have to follow upon my
wild though brief season ot profligacy.
1 decided to dismiss the scullery maid.
I was Indescribably lonely. Poopen
dyke was worried about my pallor, my
lassitude. At the end of a week he
took It upon himself to drop a line to
the Hazzards. urging them to run out
for a visit in tbe hope that company
might take me out of myself. All at
tempts to renew my work on the 111
fated novel met with utter rallure.
The power of mental concentration
was gone. I spent most of my time in
the garden.
The Hazzards came and with them
the Joyously beautiful Betty Billy.
Poopendyke must have prepared them
for the task in band, for they proceed
ed at once to transform the bleak,
dreary old castle into a sort ot hilar
ious merry go round, with me In the
very vortex of It all. They succeeded
In taking me "out of myself." I will
say that for them. My spirits took an
upward bound and, wonderful to re
late. retained their altitude In spite of
all I could do to lower them. I did not
want to be happy. 1 figured that I
owed it to my recently aroused tem
perament to be permanently unhappy.
But the wind blew another way, and
1 drifted amiably with It, as a derelict
drifts with tbe currents of the ocean,
but preferably with the warm gulf
strea m.
We bad word from Mrs. Titus In
London that negotiations had been re
opened with the count and that a com
promise might be expected. The ob
durate nobleman had agreed. It seem
ed. to me"t Jasper Titus' lawyers In
Paris nt no distant date. My chlo#
concern, however, was for the countess
herself. That she had successfully
reached the high seas was apparent:
If not. the newspapers, which I read
with eagerness would have been flllec
wltb account* <jf her seizure We
eagerly awaited promised cable
gram front New Yoi't announcing her
safe arrival there.
Smith Joined us at the end of tbe
week. 1 nerved mysel* ?o question
him about the Englishman.
"Splendid fellow," said he, wltb dis
couraging fervor; "one ot tbe Hnest
chaps 1 know. eh. George?"
"For an Englishman." admitted Haa
wtrd.
"He's a gentleman, .nnd that's more
than yon can say for the tagtng of no
bility that paid court to Aline Tar
ttowsy. He was in love with her. tat I
he was a gentleman about it. A thor
oughbred, I say."
"Good looking?" I Inquired.
"Well, rather—the sort of chap worn- i
en rave about. Ask Betty. She was '
mad about bim, but he couldn't see j
anything in her. I think she bates him |
now. He bud eyes for no one but tbe j
fair countess. An awful grind on Bet
ty. She's used to something different." !
Haz/.ard studied the clouds that drift- j
ed over our beads. "I wonder if Aline j
cared anytbing for him."
"I've always believed that she liked
him better than she cared to admit
even to herself."
"I fancy he'll not let any grass grow v
under his feet now that she's free,''
said Dr. Hazzard.
"Think she'll have him?"
"Why not? He has a much better
position in England than Ulrnowsy
has here, and he's not after her money.
I hate to say It but Aline is a seeker
after titles. She wouldn't be averse to
adding 'your ladyship' to her collec
tion."
"Ob, come!" I protested. "That 1s a
nast.r thing to say, George."
"She may have been regenerated,"
he said obligingly. "You know her bet
ter than I do. old chap. What say?"
"I didn't say anything," I muttered.
"I thought you did."
I hesitated a moment and then purg
ed myself of the truth. "As a matter
of fact. I have reason to believe she's
In love with Amberdale and has been
for a long time. I'm not saying It In
disparagement, believe me. God knows
she's entitled to something decent and
fine In the shape of love. I hope he's
good enough for her."
