The CAVEAT EMPTOR ANOMALY
Its Standing in the Law and The
Tribune's Remedy.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: was much interested in the
editorial announcement in to-day's is
sue that The Tribune will hereafter
guarantee its readers against loss or
dissatisfaction through the purchase
of wares advertised in its columns.
The old doctrine of cdUedt emDtOr.
which you have discarded, is really an
anomaly in view of present methods
of lerchandising. II may interest you
10 know that the most enlightened
courts of this country, and particular
ly the Court of Appeals of this state,
have recently shown a commendable
desire 10 escape from the technical.
ties of the common law and TO protect
the party who pays for something he
does not get. Thus, in recent case,
the Court of Appeals said: "The mod
ern tendency is to impute a duty when
ever II is required by good faith IN
commercial dealings. When, from the
nature of the transaction. or the rela-
tive situation or circumstances OF che
parties, a legal duty should reasonably
be imputed to the seller of per'onal
property in the interest of commerce
and TO enable the purchaser 70 get
what he paid for. the law will generally
impute one, although progress in that
direction has been slow and cautious
in view of the ancient rule Of caUedt
emDtOr."
II is still the rule, however, which
has never been departed from, so far
as | know, that warranty on the sale
of personal property does not run
with the goods" and, therefore, when a
manufacturer advertises or represents
in any way that he warrants his wares
the ultimate purchaser from an inter
mediate dealer has no cause OF action
against the manufacturer on his war
ranty, because-so the law assumes

A SHINING EXAMPLE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Accept our congratulations for
the strong stand you are taking in re-
gard to the guaranteeing of your ad-
vertising to your readers. We recently
sent letters TO the newspapers in the
various cities in which we operate
stores. suggesting something along
these lines, but il seems that up TO
date no paper has had the courage to
take the radical step which you have
taken.
We earnestly hope that this will be
a shining example for other news
papers. as we are confident that moth
ing will increase the pulling power Of
advertising so much as the kind Of
confidence that will be instilled by your
stand. LEVY & NATHAN, INC.

When Won arc dead aud buried, friend
There's nothing to delight or grieve you;
You live, you die and that's the end,
Let no religious myth deceive you.
Your goodly wife no more will meet
You as you wave the evening paper;
Once dead you'll read no sporting sheet.
You'll cut no latest fox-trot caper.
For death destroys your petty a.
You do not know that you've existedi
Though folks may pity you, and cry,
They've got their metaphysics twisted.
They weep for YOU and mourn your fate,
And pirate OF all the joys you're losing;
You're happy Ohs they never state)
In one eternal dreamless snoozng.
They moan, dissolved in salty tears
Their waing is a mournful riot;
The FOOLS They quake with noisy fears,
AT least vou rest in peace and quiet

the northwest of Flock. A few days
ago we were told that a Russian cav
airy force had hanked them out of their
River Wartha line. Now they appear
not only to be holding it, but to have
a considerable force threatening the
right flank of any Russian attack on
that line.
So in reading of future German re-
treats let US not forget that the pick
ing up Of hungry, footsore prisoners
and abandoned guns and transport does
not mean the Generalization Of the
army, but instead reflect on the fact
that it was the Germans who invented
Kriegspiel. And intelligent men play

Sir: Grace Polhemus is dying of
rabies from a cat bite, probably has al
ready died terrible death by the time
this is published. Died in spite of all
that medical science could do! Died
because of the community's ignorance
and lack of common sense in not try
ing to prevent what il cannot curel
Are the cats Of Brooklyn, or the cats
of all greater New York, worth more

Editor of the Herald:
Having moved to a new home, |
think, perhaps, a little story Of this
section may interest your readers.
The town lies between the cities of
Woburn and Lowell, both of which
can be reached by steamer and by
trolley. 1t lis very old; there is a
tablet in the center of ..the town
marking the location Of the first
meeting house in 1860, which is de-
scribed as being thirty feet long,
twenty feet wide, and twelve feet
posted, the sides being "borded" +,
and the roof thatched. There are
many wealthy people here and every
thing is kept up nicely. 1t is most
beautiful place in the summer time.
Just now there is a great boom under
way; the Boston & Maine r. R. hay
ing erected immense shops for all
their mechanical work, repairs, NEW
work, and everything along that
line. Eventually there willEbe 5000
men in those shops, and they must
have homes, hence there is great
demand for houses and land. 1t is
because of these shops that we have
come@~this way, our son being g
machinist in the shops and we were
too far away in Everett Ito make il
convenient or pleasant.
There is an Odd Fellows Lodge
here, agMasonic Lodge, the A. O.
n. W, the Grange, various churches
q Memorial Library very interesting
in structure and furnishings, a mill
tary school, in brief,it is a very.pretty
town well over 5000 in population
We stocked up somewhat on veg
etables and produce, paid rs cents
for potatoes, one and one-half cent
per pound for cabbage and squash
Is cents peck for onions, while W.
have more apples than we can use
at no expense. They tell me four
foot wood is S. 90 a cord.
The natural beauty of this sectie
in rivers, lakes and hills has in tn
last few years attracted many her
from Boston and other cities, .and
am told that there are over 800 sum
mer cottages in the town now an
many more going up,while there ar
numerous ones built 81 fciently lare
and fitted up for perma lent home
You people do mol appreciate the el
joyment of leaving the heated cit
for brief period, even if only fro
Saturday noon until Monday morl
ing to rest by the river or lakesid
and thousands of people are takin
advantage of the natural beauties {

Rural life is coming into its own
and country life is beginning to be
appreciated again after several de-
cades of disfavor and neglect. The
following creed is being adopted as
the slogan of various boys and girls
clubs throughout the rural sections
of the United States, shows that the
thought life of the country is being
directed into its natural Channels:.
81 believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. | believe
that work is work wherever | find
it, but that work with nature is
more inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery. l.believe
that the dignity of labor depend:
not only upon what you do, but on
how you do it; that opportunity
comes to boy on the fam as otter
as to boy in the city, andsthat life
is larger and freezer and happier or
the farm than in the town. Brat
