Munieipal Markets.

One thing in which Baltimore is a
pioneer is its system OF municipal mar
kets. In 1851, when there were only
twenty-five houses In what was then
known as Baltimore Town, a public
market was established, and by the
time the city was Incorporated In 1T96
three such markets had already been
established within It's corporate limits
Today eleven municipal markets, all
owned by the city, are within easy
reach of 10000 people Of Baltimore
and vicinity. Going TO market" Is a
localism in Baltimore, and the thrifty
Baltimore housewife learned when a
little girl that it pays to take a market
basket to one Of the public markets at
least twice week, particularly on
Saturday, and get fresh country prod
uce. without the middleman's han
ding and profit, at considerably less
than at the corner grocery stores

SOAKED DRIED PEAS
AND LIMA BEANS CANNED
If Represented as Fresh, Violate Food
and Drug Act -- Contribute to
Waste of Tin Plate.

The officials in charge of the enforce
ment of the food and drugs act are again
calling attention to the practice of soak
ing dried peas and dried lima beans until
they have the appearance of the fresh
article and then canning them. Such
products are then in many instances sold
as the canned fresh article. Unless
soaked peas and lima beans are plainly
labeled as Soaked" or in some other
manner so as to show their character,
they are regarded as in violation of the
food and drugs act.
There is no denial that soaked peas
and lima beans are a wholesome article
of food. They are, however, admittedly
inferior in quality to the products pre-
pared from the fresh vegetables. Fur
thermore, the dried peas or beans may
themselves be purchased by the house
wife quito cheaply and while in the dried
condition may be commercially and sat
isfactorily stored for future use.
The housewife will also do her bit in
the conservation of our limited supply
of tin plate by soaking and cooking
her own dried peas and lima beans in
the kitchen and thereby releasing a pro-
portional amount of tin cans for use in
the packing of perishable foods where
they are greatly needed.
Consumers are urged to read labels
of canned peas and lima beans carefully,
in order to see whether or not they are
getting fresh or soaked dried prod.

PE4RY'S DAUGHTER
4 SOLDIERS BRIDE
She Was Born In the Arctic-"Snow
Baby" to Eskimo, WEEDS Son
of Judge Stafford.

Washington, Oct s-Miss Marie All
nightio Peary-- the "Snow Baby" of
twenty three years ago--became the
bride here Saturday of Edward Stafford,
son Of Justice Wendell p. Stafford of the
supreme court of the District of Column

Miss Peary is daughter of Rear Ad-
miral and Mrs. Robert L. Peary of Wash
ington. Her wedding was attended by
many high officials of the government
The enlistment of her fancc in the off.
GERS reserve corps last spring is report
ed to have crystalized the childhood
friendship of Miss Peary and Mr. Stat
ford into something more than a boy and
girl affection.
Miss Peary was born in Greenland to-
ward the end Of the Arctic summer in q
rude one.story house built Of boxes which
had contained provisions. Her birth took
place while her mother and father were
awaiting the return of the Kite, Peary's
boat, which had gone south after pro-
visions. The Pearys call the rude shack,
which was matched with tar paper, An
niversary lodge because there they have
often spent the anniversary of their
wedding The house was surrounded by
a few Eskimo dwellings From the time
of her birth the "Snow Baby was ia
miliar with the sight and cultural talk
of these strange people
The Eskimos named her "Snow Ba
by" not after the endless reaches Of
crystalline white, but because her milky |
skin was the wonder of that part of
Greenland to which hundreds came on
dog sleds to see the miraculous child.
Miss Peary's first bath was in water
by melting snow over a blub
Der lamp. Her first suit, which she
wore when her father dragged her about
on little sled, was of fox and baby
leer skin. 1t was of two pieces, a coat
with a hood and suit of boot trousers.
Mr. Staiford's bride was born farther
1orth than any white child before or
since. She takes her middle name from
