find him chatting. first about the writ

ceipts. an annual task that begins to
fall due next month, and second about
his inability to go around with the
county campaigners. He has been
making it a rule to canvass the coun-
ty with the campaigners every two
years, whether he had opposition or
not. and Notwithstanding the fact that
he is in for four-year term this time
without opposition, he is as keen to
make the canvass as ever. His many
friends hope he will be able to be
up and about again soon.

Fears are entertained by good
many of the politically wise that there
is going to be a dropping out OF can
didates from both the senatorial and
gubernatorial races in order to bring
about postponement. If a gubernator-
ial or senatorial candidate withdraws
for instance the race for the office in
yolved is automatically postponed FOR
twenty days. The understanding Is
that this rule was incorporated in the
constitution of the party in 1912 by
and through the influence of Senator
Tillman.

The various New York exchanges
have been closed until the war situa-
ton has settled down to something
that will at least appear to be normal
The reason for this action is clear
enough. Under a situation like the
present when alarms are continuous
all kinds of faxed stories can be put
afioat with the result that the market
will be jumping and falling at such a
rate as to destroy all stability OF values
and put prices Of almost everything
down to nothing. 1t would seem a gooo
thing if ii were possible to devise
some other means of marketing the
nrnducts of the country anyway.

WOMEN USE FOOD
MONEY FOR DRESSES,
SAYS GROCERS' ORGAN
Wives Deceive Husbands by
Deferring Bills With
Tradesmen to Buy Pretty
Clothes.

The high cost OF living is nausht but a myth,
The The prices Of foodstuffs arc cheap; ,.,,,,
That makes our provender go steep.
A habit of spending high cost of living
money for personal adornment Is respon-
sible for a great deal of domestic quarrel
ing, in the opinion of f. ]. Buckley. editor
OF the Grocery World, of Tenth and Arch
streets. Mr.. Buckley objects to what he
calls the mania of some women to spend
for clothing money given them by their
husbands for household expenses. He
believes in giving the grocer his due.
Philadelphia is singularly free from this
type of woman, however according to
Mr., Buckley, and wives who are hiding
big bills from their husband may breathe
more easily Compared to the tiguIes
for other large cities Philadelphia hus-
banddeceiv!ng wives are few.
This failing is an unusual phase of
financial responsibility Mr.. Buckley
said today II am in touch with about
100 grocers. Stories growing out of this
fault are frequently told me.
The wife dislikes to confess to her
husband and will try to get rid of it her
self by Whatever surreptitious means she
can use. Some times she gets away with
It but more often she fails. Only few
days ago the wife Of a professional man
came TO me and made pathetic plea
that she be given time To pay grocery
bill of $500, for which she had received
the money from her husband
"She admitted she had spent II for her
personal adornment, although her hus-
band had fairly wcll provided for hor in
this direction. She said she dreaded nor
husband learning of her deception, as it
would blast his confidence in her
Editor Buckley said that in his opinion
It was not because Of any inclination
toward dishonesty that the offending
wife practiced this deception.
II am sure that most of these women
believe thy are struggling hard TO make
both ends meet" was his assertion
The trouble is that they have never
been taught TO systematic. Fairly
large sums of money are handed them
by their husbands and without realiz-
ing that the grocer's bill is a moral as
we'll as a financial obligation. the temp
tation TO dress beyond their means is
yielded to.
And the temptation invariably is
fine clothes"
Grocers having customers OF this kind
10 deal with are advised by Editor
Buckley TO send their bills directly To
the husband.
THE housewife may not like this"
he said. but her resentment is the
lesser OF the two evils
