Housekeeper; Beware!

JNEJE Institutes own Domestic Scientist was
buying materials the other day TO test
recipes She went into one Of the big
markets and asked the price Of new potatoes
by the pound.
Eve do not sell them BY the pound" said the
manager of the stall in his most independent
manner.
But | prefer to buy my potatoes by the
pound rather than by the basket. You know
you must sell them to me that way IL ASA

want to-" he said, brusquely.
"If | were YOU I'd telephone COMMISSIONS
Hartigan and find out whether or not you ought
to sell by the pound if the customer requests It,
Hartigan's name worked magic,
DO we?" he asked. We'll, | have worked
here good many years and never knew that
| wish you were working for the city. You are
lust the kind of person that would do some
good around here.
The potatoes were put on the scales.
Then asked the man where he worked be.
fore he came TO this market, and he answered
promptly that he conducted a similar business
in London and in Paris.
And how did YOU sell potatoes in both those
places"
Always by the pound" he answered, witha
knowing look.
And when we told Commissioner Hartigsn
the story. he added: Buying foodstuffs By

The housekeeper has it in her own hands
She can always get her moneys worth when
buying foodstuffs if she has the wisdom and
courage to insist that the tradesman change
his methods of measurement. This can be done
only by a public and general demand that all
foodstuffs be sold by freight, instead Of BY
more or less careless measure or by the
basket

Adjusto Household Rack

This is the towel rack that will neither pull
loose nor wabble; that viii spread out to &C
commodate all the wet dish towels, and, when
they are dry and put away, will fold itself into
such small compass that there might as well be
no rack there.
This rack is to be attached to the wall or
woodwork with strong screws that come for the
purpose. The arms are made of seasoned hard
wood and all the metal parts of nickel-plated
steel, which is proof against rust.
When the rack is spread the arms are in
horizontal position, and may be adjusted to any

"HIS cabinet ought to be called "mutum

In general features it is designed like most
other kitchen cabinets, but it has certain I'M

One Of the most striking of these is a disap-
pearing front, which acts on the principle OF

stead of upward, disappearing completely from

any of these getting into the slit in which the

is easily removed for filling or cleaning. Across
the other compartment of the upper section is
a shelf. twenty-five inches long, in which

It is true every woman should know what
she wants and whether she is getting it or not.
On the other hand, the butcher is the specialist,
and if he is interested in "selling goods that
won't come back to customers who will" he
ought to give the buyer the benefit OF his SUI

of it.
Here is a little story from real life:
Enter working woman with so cents to spend
for meat She goes to one of our best mar
kets. to a man who boasts Of having been IN
business since 1845-long enough to know
better
She asks for small leg of veal. Error No.
/. She should not have bought leg of veal for
stew. but the neck, shoulder or breast.
Mr.. Butcher not only sells her what is tech
nically a small leg of veal, but he sells her
knuckle thereof. Displaying, it is true, little
concern when the woman asked to have it
chopped up for stew.
On arriving home, Mrs. Careless Purchaser
discovers that she has paid so cents for 2l2
pounds of bone and 4 pounds of meat In
other words, she has bought soup bone for 80
cents, instead of a stew.
Mr.. Long Established Butcher adds insult
to injury by laughing at the indignant woman
when she returned the package, claiming that
she could not eat bones, and said that he had
sold her bargain when he had only charged
20 cents pound!

is no hero and no heroine. Everybody is wrong,

WON'T BUILD ANY
 MORE GAS ENGINES
Ship and Engine Company Choked
 With Submarine Work.

There will be no more gasoline en- zines built at the New London Ship and Engine Co.,, according to state nlent made by Capt. Frank T. Cable, general manager of the company. When it became known tha tthe fed eral government was contemplating building a large number of submarine chasers that are to be propelled by gasoline engines it was thought that the engines would be built by the Ship and Engine Co.
 The contract recently completed for the English government for the, build ing of several hundred such boats were equipped with gasoline engines, two in a. boat and each engine having a capacity of 450 horsepower. One hundred and fifty of these engines were built at the Ship and Engine Co. The hulls were built at Greenport, L.. I. The Standard Motor Co.,, of Jer- sey City made teh remainder of the engines and in the event that this government passes an appropriation for similar boats it is the belief of Captain Cable that the Jersey com pany will build all of the engines.
 The Ship and Engine Co. at present is cholzed with submarine engine work and no room swill be made for the gas- oline engines. The Groton company is about the only shop in the country making submarine engines, while there is any number that could turn out the gasoline engines.

War Would Imperil Mines.

As the war cloud hovers over this country the significance of actual hostilities becomes moro and more apparent to the operators of electric light and power plants Guards have been thrown about plants and the coal piles, in order to ward off any mali cious attempt to destroy property or otherwise injure service. Lighting plant managers who have been off on that they may be at their plants should any emergency arise.
 While there is sufficient coal at the present time. there is ever the danger, should a break come with Germany and her allies, of a serious shortage of fuel. It is no secret that a great majority of coal miners are of a ma Eionaiity whose sympathies might, in case of a break, be with the Father land. There is also the chance that coal mine operators fearing violence pn the part of the miners might re- fuse to allow those of Teutonic birth 10 enter the shafts if the government Hoes not actually intern them. Such. mean the closing down of most of the great coal mines.
 In view of the fact that so many cf the nations industries depend up- m electricity for power, a number of which would be called to the aid of the government should war actually occur, the maintenance of service be- comes of greater importance than ever. It is for this reason probably more than anything else, that central station operators are using such care at the present time to protect their properties--E1ectrical World.
