Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs. S. d. N. writes: "Our boy. seems
to be a natural-born musical. He
plays the piano and violin all the time
and says he wants to earn his living
that way. His father is distressed
about 1t, as he wants him to become a
lawyer. Would you give in to the
boyT
I do not think you can thwart the
boys natural bent without doing him
lasting harm. Make compromise
with him, can you not? Stipulate that
he take a two years course of other
studies with the understanding that
you will yield to his wishes IL he still
feels as he does now about the music
at the end of that time. That will be
fair to both of you.
Mrs. T. L NJ. writes: we have no
children and my husband wants to
adopt a boy. 1 am afraid to. because
adopted children often turn out badly.
Would you advise me to do it?'
do indeed advise you to do as your
husband wishes. Environment is

There are never in any city enough
inspectors to do work without the
cooperation of the individual house.
wife. In New York City there are
but twenty-one inspectors and a pos
sible $1,000 food stores, and in no
city is the force of inspectors ade-
quate. to the task without the CO.
operation of the housewives them
selves.
So you really have no one to blame
but yourself if you are one of the
losers in this wholesale grab of
S24o,ooo.ooo a year. Honest food
dealers like honest folk generally are
far more numerous than the dishon-
est sort, but still you should never be
so confident as to think it useless to
keep your eyes open.
Do your share. Watch to see
whether the dealer keeps his hand on
the scales when he weighs your
goods. See whether he weighs the
wooden boxes in which he sells many
kinds of food. Watch to see whether
the butcher weighs the meat first and
then cuts off the trimmings later. If
he does, insist on having the bones
and other pieces. They are worth
to you as soup or force
meat. If the butcher keeps them he
will sell them for profit.
Remember that it isn't always the
fault of the retail dealer himself if
things come to you short measure. 1t
may be due to a dishonest employe,
or to a dishonest wholesale dealer. So
keep your scales handy and guard as
against short-weight in your
own kitchen as the manufacturer or
merchant guards against short-weight
in the business that he runs for profit.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

The statement was recently made
on good authority that Sz4o,ooo,ooo q
year was lost in the United States
through short weight and other dis
honesty on the part of retail food
dealers. On short-weight coffee alone
100000 is lost yearly by the long
suffering public.
Any sort of dishonest trickery OF
this sort is contemplate. If. however,
It was short measure in Injuries of
life we wouldn't feel so justly indig-
nant. If the loss came in short per-
rentage of whiskey, for instance, or
in adulterants in tobacco, or even in
glucose in the candy we eat, it
wouldn't be quite so bad. But the
short measure in large degree comes
Just where it is felt the most. 1t
means that the poorer folk among US
get only seven-eights of pound of
beef when they pay for full pound
that they get only fifteen ounces of
butter when they pay for sixteen, or
that their pecks of potatoes are not
full pecks at all.
And this state of affairs comes after
years of so-called reform in the way
of dishonest weights and measures.
What must the situation have been
before the reform began?
The truth of the matter is that in
no system of public supervision in
the matter of dishonest measures is
to be found the final cure for the
trouble Dishonesty will still crop up
in food dealing till the end of time if
the housewife herself does not fight
against it-not in the legislature, not
by means of the vote, but right in
her own kitchen, right in the store

James sent fleet to get his bride. The

long and dangerous journey to Scotland.

SAYS BELGIUM WILL
 BE A NEW LORRAINE
Will Not Tamely Submit to Permanent Annexation
 by Germany

London December H.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press )-'sIf Belgium be permanently annexed to Germany. she will prove a new Lorraine. another and more truculent Finland" said NJ. Emile Nandervelde, the Belgian socialist and labor leader. in an address here under the auspices of the wounded al- lies relief committee. NJ. Vandervelde. who accepted a cabinet ministry at King Albert's request at the outbreak of the war gave the views of his party as follows;
 Speaking as a socialist an anti-na- tionalist and pacihst, I consider this war must be fought to finish, precisely because I am socialist an anti-na- tionalist and pacifist.
 Why? Because socialism has always recognized that nation, when attacked. possesses the right of legitimate defense: because internationalism makes the au- tonomy of nations a preliminary eond- tion: because the present war Is a war against war. and we are not among the paehsts who are for peace at any price"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 2.-(Speciai) )-Liver- pool will not reopen before Monday and our market was without any advices from abroad. The improvement today has neen due to buying from the west and Wall street on an investment idea that cotton was still the cheapest article and should peace be in sight within the next eight months that it was not to be neglected.
 On the advance there was some little hedging from the south, though not suf- flcient to prevent the market from closing at higher prices. The advance of the past three weeks has brought cotton to price where we may expect rather more free offerings from the south. but neither the cotton trade itself nor American spinners have any large supply on hand. They have all been waiting for the pressure of the crop to make itself felt and so far the investment demand has taken care of all offerings.

CHANGE RESENTED
 BY NAVAL BRIGADE
Sailors Do Not Like Being Made to Resemble
 Thomas Atkins

London. December 2f-Ccorrespondence of the Associated Press.)-Several thou sand members of Minister Winston Churchill's royal naval brigade have been made to look like Thomas Atkins. much to their disgust.
 The change was made to the army cut and olive drab uniform because of the fine targets for the enemy that the navy blue made during the defense of Ant werp. Yet the change is resented not only by the jack tars. tenacious of cus- tom beyond any other class, but also by the landsmen volunteers, who have grown fond of their open-necked jumpers and flaring bag trousers
