Washington, Feb. 20.-Only Con-
oress and not the Supreme Court Of
Ia United States may object to the

The decision was based on the

NEW 1oRK LETTER ns aa

NEW YORK, July 2.-The high
cost of living is not all due to ad-
vances in prices of food and other
necessities" says market man on
upper Broadway. That's partly it,
and 1t is true that prices have adj
vanced enormously. But the fact
remains that my customers could
feed themselves for much less than
| it costs them, and live just as well,
If they only know how.
"See that man over there?" He
pointed to small, poorly-dressed
man, with a basket. HE has just
bought two pounds of Goldfish, at
16 cents a pound. Right on the
same counter are porgies, at 8
cents a pound. There's no finer
tasting fish to be had, and they
are as n6Irishing- as the cod, II not
more nourishing. But this mans
wife told him to go to market and
buy Goldfish, and he's buying cod1
tfish. Neither of them. thinks of
taking the trouble to find out
whether they can save money by
buying some other fish, and be

the family. There are seven, al
together working people, and
they buy about seven pounds of
butter a week at 80 cents a
pound. It's an extravaganza, pure
and simple. They like butter,
and they eat all they want of It,
regardless of cost. / come from
the old country. We had meat

people in our village were health

Look at that woman buying a
fancy package of crackers. She's
paying five cents for crackers and
five cents for decorated wrapper.
There are people who can afford
to do that, but she isn't one of
them. That doesn't make any

A well rounded neck and shoulders
are not enhanced in beauty when the
feet make you look careworn and

Tired, aching feet get on your
nerves; corns, callouses and bunions
take all the sunshine out of life. And
yet if you put your feet in a TlZ foot
bath all foot troubles vanish, the feet
take on a sensation of freshness an
glow: your nerves and tired muscles
at once relax and your mind thus
becomes amiable and you'd face re-
fleets this in the smile of happiness.

Advice to a Young Man.

Remember, my son, you nave TO
work. Whether you handle a pick
or a pen, a wheel barrow or set
of books, digging dtches or editing
a pare, ringing an auction bell,
or writing funny things, you MUST
WORK. If you look around you will
see the men who are the most able
to work live the rest of their days
WITHOUT work are the men who
work the HARDEST. DON'T be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work. 1t is beyond your POWER
to do that on the sunny side OF
thirty They DIE sometimes, but
it is because they quit work at 4
p. m, and don't get home until 2
a. m. It's the INTERVAL that kills,
my son.-The World Wide Baracca.

Women and children first" This
order from the deck of the Titanic
has suddenly set tie world afire rs
if with a new ideal. Artists have
illustrated it with striking cartoons,
ministers have thundered it from tie
pulpits and newspaper and magazine
writer's have drawn its obvious NOR
al and new ideal. Building and loar
officers have preached and persuaded
it in the United States for eighty
one years until millions of beautiful
American homes have been erected
worth billions of dollars to the re
public, and still over one billion do.-
lars is deposited with the associa-
tions to build other homes-all done
and being done by the fathers, hus
bands and sons to the one vital and
revivifying ideal of the great repub-
lic
Procrastnation is the Titanic OF
the great social seas wherein danger
and death lrk and wait for all, and
every dollar saved through a build
ing and loan association is a life
boat in which women aud children
first are to be rescued and sheltered
when the captain of the family takes
his last plunge from the bridge OF
his domestic ship.
Is it any wonder that the race
of men who have learned to sacrl-
flee day by day for the safety of
these women and children should die
with courage and resignation when
the crisis appears? The Building
and Loan Associations have had more
to do with intoxicating this practical
ideal and making all men alike in the
presence of the threatened family
than any other social business move
ment.
The Building and Loan Associations
have for eighty-one years, on this
continent been and will continue to
be the practical life-boat for wo-
men and children endangered in the
mid-o of life.
