If one would be a good and economi- cal marketer, consider the following rules: Do not purchase perishable ma terial out of season. Always use each fruit in its season. It is then at it's best and costs least. Use butter and eggs sparingly when they are high in price. Never buy strawberries in mid- winter; they are tasteless, expensive and add little to the dietary. Serve choice fruits in their natural state. Use less perfect fruits for cooking. Suit the dessert to the season of the year.

OVERLOOKING OPPORTUNITIES.

Not only is this country getting large orders from foreign buyers, but 1t Is also making foreign loans. It has the means of supplying the goods and the money with which to help out those countries who have been in the habit of arranging their finances with foreign brokers. Furthermore this country has the chance to do even more than it is already doing.
 Great has been the dependence which we have placed upon other countries for various supplies, but slight was the real understanding of that situation until the opening of the war in Europe and the revolutions in Mexico. The result has brought us face to face with the fact ,that in- i-tead of seeking to establish in-

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many

The medical faculty was put to
shame by a bolt of lightning which
the other night struck the farmhouse
OF Charles A. Burdick, on Washing

for many years.
Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood
in the kitchen stove when the bolt
struck her. knocking her down and
rendering her unconscious. One of
her feet was on zinc beneath the
stove. The lightning took nail out
of the sole OF her shoes and her foot

YOUR FRIEND TODAY

Elizabeth and Martha were friends.
Elizabeth said the word should al.
ways be written with a capital F.
Martha declared that every letter that
went into the making OF SO precious a
name should be capital, whereupon
Elizabeth kissed her affectionately.
and they both declared that no matter
what the years might bring them they
would keep their tie OF friendship
pure. and true. and lofty.
And" said Martha, who was the
more ardent 'and imaginative OF the
two, there are to be no secrets be-
tween us: not even thought secrets"
To which Elizabeth agreed in an abb
stracted manner which did not quite
satisfy her friend.
So Martha suggested that they draw
up an agreement Of eternal love and
loyalty to be solemnly signed by each
of them. and when Elizabeth said she
didn't see the use of such thing, her
friend burst into a storm Of grief that
quite took the less intense girl off her
feet.

The Wise Woman.

Martha listened as one might listen
to treason.
Then, remembering Elizabeth. she
abruptly left tn" room.
She is young" remarked The Wise
Woman. She will learn.
1t came to pass that the personal
interests OF the friends conflicted for
the first time since, in that far away
yesterday. they each signed the vow
of eternal love and loyalty.
They fell in love with the same man.
For time The Man, knowing the
closeness of the tie which bound the
two young women, was very nice to
both of them.
Then 1t became apparent that he
was more Interested in Martha, and
after little he asked her hand in
marriage.
And for the first time in her life

open the deepest chamber in her heart
to her friend. Instinctively, she
hugged her secret. 1t was so precious

a thing-this matter Of loving and be-
ing loved-that she did SO want to
cherish it for Just, little while against
the knowledge Of all the world. But
she remembered the vow, the letter
Of which she had kept for years. SO
sliyly she told Elizabeth that she and
The Man were to be married.
And you have the audacity to tell
me this, you sly mink" hissed the life
time friend of the girl, Martha.
You're a perfect little sneak, that's
what you are! You've enticed him
into this with your confiding little
ways. But ha doesn't know you as l
do! He doesn't know you!" she cried,
beside herself with rage and disap-
pointment. for the girl. Elizabeth. also
wife more than she wanted anything
else in all the world.
Because OF the vow which Martha
had always kept to the letter. and
which the wiser girl had always set
aside as a mighty foolish sort OF thing.
Elizabeth was as familiar with the
weaknesses Of her friend as she was
with her own. She knew her as she
knew herself, for in her interpreta-
ticn of the word friendship Martha
had always uncovered her very soul
for the other girls inspection.
And, sc 1t was that the condolences
which the girl, Martha. had given in
the sacred name of friendship were
made the property Of all who cared
to hear them, and bounded back like
boomerangs to hurt her a thousand
times with a hurt SO poignant that
sometimes the injuries done her
seemed more than she could bear.
And The Wise Woman shook her
head graveiy and remarked again that.
so long as human nature is human ma
ture, it will never be safe to tell your
dearest friend anything that you would
not want your bitterest enemy to

would have seemed more like a con-
tract of the relinquishment of all per-
sonal liberty than promise of undy-
ing love to an outsider. But the docu.
ment quite satisfied the friends. who
considered it a mast erpiece in its own
way.
In the weeks and months that fol-
lowed condolences became almost an
obsession with the girl, Martha. An
overconscious little soul, she spent a
deal Of her time in selfexamination
for fear that she would depart from
the letter OF her promise and hold
back the admission of some thought
or action from Elizabeth.
The vow was taken less seriously
by Elizabeth, upon whom friendship
sat with lighter meaning.
Martha, in her frank and girlish ar
dor. would have called her friend
traitor. had she known that she did
not share the deeper life of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth would have said that she
and that the matter OF the vow was
silly thing. to which sho had agreed
merely to humor her friend.
So the years went by. and the
friends became women grown.
Their companionship had been very
close, and their affection for each 9TH
er was matter for admiration among
their associates.
People said that they had never
seen such remarkable confidence be-
tween two young women.
So far as Martha was concerned this
was true. She shared her every
thought of consequence with Eliza
beth. She unveiled her weaknesses as
well as her strength to the elder girl.
nor did she notice that every year had
brought Elizabeth more reserve. so
great was her absorption in her own
condolences. n.

A young woman who has had faith in
lover she believed to be ideal and

ere she decides to break the tie OF be-

his past proclivity and misdemeanors.

young women are not inclined to turn
their backs upon him"
A lover OF this kind is apt to take
much OF his time in reaping the har-
vest sOwn. If he sees sweetheart
pouting when he keeps her waiting
in her parlor over all hour for his
coming. or if he contributes little to
her happiness by not inviting her to
amusements which she had set her
heart upon going to. there is lapse OF
his visits which she cannot account
for to her friends. It can make mat
ters no better TO make UP with one
SO Indifferent. She has tC find out for
herself that they are generally light
