EFFICIENCY in SHOPPING

EFFlSiGNS 9 Nv oEISTINN
Are you tired of shearinS about the
efficiency movement, that great new
science of doingthings in tne quickest
and easiest way?
II you are not, Il have a new apbllea-i
ton for it. AS you know, the eftici-t
'ency idea has been applied TO house
work, and it; has been proved that by,
eliminating useless fmusions, perfect.
ing her apparatus and improving con-
ditions under which she works, such.
as the position of apparatus, the.
heights of..sinks, tables, etc. big,
slice of every woman's time and
energy can"be saved.
Now IL the science Of efficiency is
useful in this department 0fwoman'sii
work, why can't 1t be applied to-
others? And in what possible direc+
tion could study of'energy and time!
saving be more valuable than in rela-,
ton to shopping?
Are you a efficient shopper? +
don't simply mean, do You get What
you go after. But do you get 1t With:
out using an unduIy large amount of.
time and energy?
1t was after q morning of shopping.
which left me astonishinsly tired and
out OF temper that i began to wonder
If ! might not use more efficient meth
DDS in this matter.
/ went over the ground thoroughly
in my mind and formulated some
rules for more efficient shopping. IL
shopping leaves you astonishtngly7
tired and out of temper, you may be-
interested in them.
One should always make'out a LIST
not only Of articles to be shopped for,
but of places to be visited. Twice dur
ing that day i went back to a shop
in which r2had bought one article, for
another. twill certainly save time
II, before leaving home, or on the
journey to town, you make out a list
Of shops to be visited in the order OF
their convenience. Under each shop
write down the articles which you
want to look for there.
II You are going to have several
things to carry, do not try to carry.
them separately. 1t is confusing toI
try to keep track of them, to say
nothing of the danger OF loss-andi
confusion often tires one more than
actual work. Either have some kindII
of bag or case to carry them in or1
have them wrapped up together. |
Don't let yourself get too tired. FiveI
minutes spent in the rtslt room justi
relaxing would double your efficiency
for the rest Of the forenoon.
Don't let yourself get too hungry.
When you begin to feel confused and
unable to concentrate, get cup of
chocolate or bouillon and see howl
much simpler everything seems. 4
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes
and light, smsll'hat.
These are just "a sew things that I
feel would make me a more efficient
shopper. They may please you, and
then again, they may not. Even ifI
they don't, they may start a train of
thought which will bring You some
helpful ideas.

Being a kindly disposed Individual,
President Taft does not hesitate TO
hand out all kinds OF advice to his sue
cessor. Governor Wilson has been
oYerburdened with advice OF a person
al kind, intimate suggestions by those
who have called to see him; he has
been told through the magazines and
newspapers how. to run his admiuiS.
tratIon, and President Taft has told
him dn numerous speeches just what
he ought to do about the Philippines
and several other matters Of national
Importance.
Everybody seems to so along on the
idea that Governor Wilson is hedg-
ling, a man who knows nothing about
the big public questions that will come

That as soon as the papers can be pre-
pared Mr.. Stein will bring suit in the
Law and Equity Court for the money
due him under the unexpircd contract
ana Tor damages to his reputation as a
bandmastcr He will probably sue for
$4,000.
In his opinion. said Mr.. Powers his
client has good grounds for action,
since the board failed to comply with
that provision of the contract which
binds 1t to serve notice OF failure to
comply with the contract, authorizing
it to cancel the contract only in the
event that the defect is not corrected
within three days. According to Mr.
stein. he was given no opportunity by
the board 10 remedy the alleged de-
nciency, since the board has consistent
ly refused to give out the exact grounds
for it's action.
Upon the advice of City Attorney
Pollard, who was called into consulta-
ton, the board directed that notice be
served upon Mr.. stein that it will
stand by the cancellation order entered
last Monday, and that any attempt on
his part to enter park after next
Thursday night for the purpose of con-
tinuinE the band concerts, will be con-
sidcrcd an act of trespass.
