Cure For Laziness.

Are you lazy? All right. Wear
something red and become full of en-
ergy.
Are you feeling blue because of the
inclement weather? Don't worry, but
put ON something red.
The American Association For the
Study of Spondylatherapy (whatever
that means) at their annual meeting
recently gave out a new cure for lazi-
ness. The cure is to something
red.
The idea is this: The society has
com to the conclusion that certain col
ors work on a mans nerves to such an
extent that they control his destiny.
For instance, a person who sleeps In
a room papered In white is calm and
collected. Likewise the man who
wears a green e~yeshade. The green
has a certain effect on the retina,
which in turn communicates the color
to the brain, the result being that the
eyes are soothed, and consequently the
whole body is at peace with the world.
Red, the society says, has a tendency
to arouse any n wearing 1t.

New Things In the Shops.

A new broom sweeps clean, but
there is a newer one with a long han
die and the brush part of fiber, which
sweeps clean and does away with
backache. tired arms and blistered
hands as well as no dust.
There is a small fire extinguishing
appliance TINT inspires confidence in a
householder's breast and gives her the
assurance that a small blaze could be
quickly and effectively overcome. 1t is
a small nickel plated affair that holds
a quart of fire e~xtinguishing liquid
and works on the same principle as a
youngsters popgun, spraying a blaze
quite a distance away.
This device costs 81, but Is well
worth 1t in the feeling Of security 1t
gives dwellers in suburban places and
apartments.
From fire to water is but a step, and
for those who dislike overshoes In wet
weather there comes a waterproofing
fluid which when poured on, spread
evenly and allowed to dry on a pair
Of shoes renders them waterproof.
Applied two or three times during a
season, this preparation makes the
owner of the shoes wonderfully indif-
ferent to dampness and overshoes. The
price is 25 cents for a full sized can of
the liquid.

K a Presant.

Lady Jersey was in her time n of
the leaders of fashion, and her house
was the resort of politicians and 9th
ers. With her lived her daughter,
Lady Clementine villiers. a handsome
and clever girl. The custom had been
established that all friends should give
the latter a present on her birthday.
and these presents were set out in an
antechamber. Among these friends
was Lord Brougham, then an old man.
He called on a birthday, but had for
gotten what the occasion was, and had
brought no present. Seeing a mass OF
presents laid out, he seized one OF
them and took it In as his present,
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that it was one
that already had been given to her.
And very proud he was of his pres
ence of mind. But. then, he was an
exlord chanceIlor.-London Truth.

Rearranae Furniture Often.

In some houses one enters. the ar
rangement of the furniture va
ries from year to year. In other houses
the furniture is changed about every
week or two. 1t may be easily judged
which practice is the more agreeable
and refreshing for all concerned. One
woman is on record who actually stuck
pins in the carpet on sweeping days to
Indicate for the maid the exact spots
where feet of tables and chairs must be
set again when the room was finished.
This was going to extremes. but there
are many people who are just as mar
row and prejudiced In their ideas. 1t
is a good thing to change furniture
about. 1t gives the relief Of variety
and often increases our appreciation
of the beauty of some particular piece.
Furthermore. the Encouragement Of fur
niture helps to develop the quality of
resourcefulness and discourages mar
row prejudice.

WOMEN IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
They Held Office and Could More Than
Hold Their Own In Trade.

Women in England have always
shared in the industrial life of. the ma
ton. Curiously enough, writes Mr.. A.
Abram In English Life and Manners
In the Later Middle Ages Il statute
of 1868 that ordered men to keep to
one trade left women free to practice
as many as she chose.
In a few instances, ut least, women
in the later middle ages discharged du-
ties and held Offices that do not fall to
their lot nowadays. There are allu-
sions to women burgesses In the rec
ords of London and other towns, and
If women married aliens they could
n%aturalize them.
Women did not shrink from engag-
ing in foreign commerce. They ex-
ported goods to France, Spain and 9th
er countries. A widow. Margery Rus
sell or Coventry, is mentioned In no
less than three different existing docu-
ments. Her business must have been
on a fairly large scale, for she was
robbed of merchandise worth $500 by
some men of Santander. in Spain. In
order to recoup herself for her losses
she obtained letters of marque that
empowered her to seize the goods be-
longing to countrymen of the offend
ers.
Margery apparently took more than
was due her, for two Spanish mer-
chants lodged complaints against her.
She was ordered to restore both ships.
but one Of the Spaniards declared that
she had refused to do so, although he
had a commission directed to the ex-
chequer. If Dame Margery Russell
was a type. women traders Of the mid
die ages were well able to look after
themselves.

JERSEY HOUSEWIVES PRAISE
THE HAINES SYSTEM OF
MERCHANDISING

In the quaint old town of Haddon-
field, N. J.. there exists a select social
organization known as the "Haddon
FortnightIy.u One of its most prom
inent members Is Mrs. Bessie II. Rem
iDgton, who at a recent meeting of the
club, was made chairman of a com-
mittee, known as the Home Econo-
mics Department" whose function was
to suggest methods for reducing the
cost of living.
One OF the first steps taken by Mrs.
Remington to do her duty on this COM
mittee wal to secure a copy of the Gro
Gerry catalog published by Linwood
Haines Limited OF America, 70 Federal
street, Camden, N. J.. From this che
selected a list OF groceries amounting to
between $40 and $l1. It is likely that
she was pleased with her purchase, for
at the next meeting of the Fortnightly
her committee made its report. which
was certainly favorable to the Haines
concern.
In a letter dated February 10Th adj
dressed to the Haines people she said:
s.As chairman of the Home Economics
Department OF the Haddon Fortnight
ly, / recently gave a littleinformal talk
on cooperative buying, followed by a
general discussion on how to reduce the
high cost of living. Before giving this
talk, / made a visit to your store, pur-
chased a bill of goods, found them very
satisfactory, which fact | made known
to the members and urged their buying
from you. The Home Economics is an
entirely new department in the club,
this being its first year. We deal en-
tirely with the home, trying to reduce
the cost of living. labor saving and all
domestic problems
Any other housewife who Is inter-
ested 10 red ucing the cost of living
along similar lines should write for one
of Haines Grocery catalogs. The prices
In 1t appear to be from ten to twenty
percent below those quoted by the
average retail gr0ceryman. AS an ex-
ample, Haines sells sugar for &c per
pound; other stores charge four and
five. Haines sells rolled oats for &c per
pound; other stores charge &c and more.
Haines sells a ~golden-oak buffet for
SIS. 20. for which cash stores in Phila-
delphia charge 500 and upwards.
Everything in the Haines establish
ment seems to DO proportionatcly as
low, whether it be groceries, toilet goods,
jewelry, shirtwaists and suits, sewing
machines, furniture, house furnishings
or agricultural implements, and Mr..
Haines says that his list of regular gro
Gerry customers In South Jersey Is rap
idly increasing. The March issue Of
Haines Grocery catalog has just been
printed and may be had by writing for
1t.

Communicated
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
While | do not attempt to applaud
Mr.. George w. Rogers for the remarks
he made at Red Mems hall in Deem
Der last, and | think they were entirely
out of place at the time. i think If
Mr.. Rogers had taken a second to think
he would not have made them, still /
am at a loss to find out why Mr.. White
sell. the city clerk, should have thrown
his hat in the ring, and accepted the
remarks as being addressed to him, as
there was no name mentioned by Mr..
Rogers, merely an outstretched arm,
with pointed finger, which covered sew
eral gentlemen who were sitting in Mr..
Whitesell's vicinity, and I'M of which
took exception to Mr.. Rogers remarks,
as meaning him. We know that all
lawyers, no matter how great or limited
their intelligence, would try to con-
vince a client that he had a good case
for damages, and we know that all law
suits are costly, even to the injured par
ty, but there must be abundant proof for
a suit Of this kind, but the question Is,
who will pay the costs of prosecution
in case Mr.. Whitesell loses his case?
1t seems to me to be a Ease of bluff on
someone's part, to try to frighten Mr..
Rogers, either to keep him away from
Wild wood Ia job almost impossible) or
else to make him keep his mouth closed,
possibly the latter, but Mr.. Rogers is
we'll able to look after his own interests,
and possibly has few friends in the
City OF Wildwood, but he has some.
Mr.. Rogers was honest in his en-
deavors for the benefit of the taxpay-
ers, q fact that does not seem to be
appreciated by most of them, and was
at times We must admit, out of place,
but with the excessive water rents,
sure to come, higher gas, lawsuits, scan
dals and unequalization of taxation,
must surely prove a BOON for the
City of Wild wood later IN.

eral In the war Of the American Revo-
luton.
For several years he was a Judge
of New Jerseys highest court-Errors
and Appeals. Judge Vroom was an
old-time Democrat of distinguished
appearance, a scholar and a gentle
man. Up to last March he was still a
member Of the Court of Appeals, but
owing to i'll health and advancing years
resigned the position which he had
filled so long and with such great
credit to himself and the State. = = y
Judge Vroom did not admire Cover
MOI Wilson. He always characterized
him as the tutor in politics, theoretical
aud impractical. His animosity toward
Doctor Wilson was still further in
creased when the Governor refused to
reappoint Justice Alfred Reed to a
seat on the Supreme bench in the win
ter of 1912. Judges Vroom and Reed
were warm friends, the former having
a great admiration for Judge Reed
whom he declared one of the ablest,
if not the finest legal mind On the
New Jersey bench. AS the writer was
coming out of the State House a few
days after Governor Wilson had been
inaugurated President of the United
States, we met Judge Vroom then on
his way to his home on West State
street. He was in extra good humor,

new TARIFF CUTS
BUTTER five CENTS
Influx Of Foreign Product Causes
Reduction in Prices.

New York, Feb. Am influx of for
eign butter from all parts OF the
world. due to the reduction of the
tariff from to 21a cents pound, has
caused a decline in the New York
wholesale price of 10 cents a pound
since the first of the year
Butter has been coming to this city
from as far off as Australia, by way
of San Francisco. Three hundred
thousand pounds from that country
has been laid down here within the
last two or three weeks. Butter has
also been shipped from Argentina,
Denmark and Siberia.
The shipments, butter dealers ad-
mitted, have created marked uneasi-
ness in the wholesale market, with
the result that there has been an
unloading of various stocks.
The best grade butter is selling at
261a to q cents a pound wholesale.
The American demand for foreign
butter has caused a rise of or 3
cents pound in some of the foreign
markets.
1t is generally admitted here that
the price of butter in this country
will be kept down in the future at a
lower average level than before.
