BETTER PRICES EoR FRUIT

The question OF better prices for
farm products, particularly fruit, has
been solved by the recently formed
Grand Traverse Fruit a. Produce Elk
change. This exchange IL organized
under the cooperative act passed by
the 1913 legislature. The law pro-
vides for associations OF fruit growers
for the express purpose OF getting bet
ter returns. The Grand Traverse peo-
pie have entered into contract with
the North American Fruit Exchange,
with offices in New York, for the mar
keting of the products OF its members
for the next five years. AS this ex-
change handled 10000 carloads OF
fruit and produce last year, the taking
on OF the Grand Traverse crop. which
will run from 500 TO 1000 carloads.
will be an easy matter. The New
York Exchange has selling agancies in
1872 cities on the American continent,
besides il Is establishing selling agences
in foreign countries. It's rule is TO
send the fruit and vegetables turned
over TO il TO those markets which at
the particular time are Offering the
highest prices. II has agreed.wit the
Grand Traverse Fruit a. Produce Elk
change that for the privilege OF handl-
ing the Grand Traverse crop Of the
next five years, that il will locate one
Of it's managers at this point and help
to assemble the tonnage necessary in
order to keep the overhead expense at
the minimum amount. Grand Ira
verse growers will now concentrate
their efforts upon the producing end
of the fruit business and will inn
mediately adopt rules and regulations
for the standardizing of the crops and
for the establishment OF an inspection
system that will permit only that
which is OF good quality TO be shipped
out
Ii is believed that with the present
selling agreement that II will be pos
sible TO take the output Of the thou
sands upon thousands of acres OF or
chards that are just coming into bear
ing. withiut upsetting marketing con-
ditions. Ii is further believed that IL
will now be possible for. the increasing
of the orchard acreage without the
likelihood of over-production. Where
as in the past the fruit from this sec
ton has been distributed at points but
n few hundred miles from the orchard,
now il is TO be distributed over the
entire continent.
The first shipments will be made
from Traverse City but as rapidly as
sub-exchanges can be organized, ar
rangements will be. made for these at
all Of the nearby points where carload
lots can be assembled.

"ONE WAY OUT"

A book with the above title, pub
lished year or two ago, told a vivid
story of how two young people, on be-
ing forced 10 give up a regular sal
airy and live on the proceeds Of day
labor, got along on a very slender in
come one of the ideas emphasized
was that they bought most OF their
clothing and furniture, and a large
part of their food, at advertised sales.
where they got large reductions.
This is one Of the most practical
ideas as to how the cost of living can
be reduced. 1t seems strange that
there are people who will growl about
high prices, and yet fail to take ad-
vantage of these chances
Here in our columns is constant
record of genuine chances to save
money. They are particularly in evil
dence at this season OF the year when
old stocks have to be closed out. But
every week in year there are good
chances being offered by live mer-
chants.
Newspaper advertising is so uni
yersally read that practically every
one knows about these opportunities.
But the spirit of inertia that is con-
stantly keeping people from realizing
their opportunities keeps some from
swapping up these chances.
Often these bargains go TO the we'll
to-do, who constantly display the
same qualities of thrift by which they
won an independent position. Mean
while many hard pressed people on
the verge OF bankruptcy, are too in
dolent to seize the constant oppor-
tunities offered to save money.
The very first item in any plan to
reduce expenses should be TO read
attentively the newspaper advertising,
column by column. Special offerings,
that you know you will want later,
should be taken up on the spot. If
you can buy for 70 cents today what
will cost you $1.00 on March /, you
would better borrow the money rath-
er than let the chance slip by When
March l comes, you will have an extra

How to Get Rid Of Mid
winter Colds.

AS rule the simplest remedies for a
cold are the surest. There is nothing
for carrying off congestion like hot
bath, a hot drink and a good sweat.
Do this at night.
If necessary To go out next morning,
rub the body vigorously with alcohol
and Turkish towel before venturing
forth. II is the utmost importance to
avoid getting chilled after the hot
bath.
If IL is tight cold in the head. rub
the bridge OF the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night. This simple remedy
sometimes works like a charm.
Another efiicacious method is to
snuff up warm salt water. But one
must not go out right after this or
the cold will be aggravated.
Rub "a little camphorated cream on
the chapped lips and nose. IL there
are fever sores. moisten little pow
dered borax and apply. For the ach-
ing limbs a good rubbing with alcohol
or spirits of camphor is excellent.
1t is of the utmost importance dur
ing a cold to keep the system from be-
coming clogged. The old, senseless
maxim Feed cold and starve a
fever" is responsible for many bad
complexions and prolonged colds. The
proper method is to eat very lightly,
and even partially fast.
If you will use plenty OF stewedfruit
in your diet, eat fresh figs, drink hot
water on arising and before meals and
take nine or ten glasses OF water dur
ing the day, you will be taking the best
possible measures to get rid of a cold.

FARM WOMEN SCORED

sharp arraignment OF the farm
ers' wives and daughters of the coun-
try, and incidentally their city sisters,
is contained in a report made by Geo.
X Holmes, chief of the Division Of Pro-
duction and Distribution of the Agri-
cultural Department. Although wages
have risen steadily during forty-four
years, Mr.. Holmes declares that the
women of the present age have for
gotten or are too proud to indulge in
household work on the farm. The
lure of society" which has reached
out 10 the farm, he says, is much TO
blame for the condition, which he de-
scribes as acute"
Country girls as well as city girls.
says Mr. Holmes, in reporting to Secre-
tary Wilson, seem to regard house
holdlabor for hire as undesirable.
Joined with this fact is the other one
that the women of the farmers family
are neither able or willing to repeat
the manual labor performances OF
their Grandmothers on the farm"
The raising of the standard OF Nv
ing on the farm, the report continues,
is responsible in measure for the
women of the farm now engaging in
social functions" which the govern
ment experts hold 10 be "incompar-
able" with the performance Of house

time domestic industries is deplored

If you have them all, for they are what

They make great teachers, workers,
preachers, leaders. generals in war,

that the one thing you really have as
long as you live is your body. That
is yours. That stays with you 10 the
