UST a minute, Mrs. Housewife!
81 Have you ever stopped to con-
slider as to just exactly what
the spices are you use SO frequently
for flavoring your food? No? Well,
I'm going to tell you few inter-
esting things about them. First of
all, they are vegetable substances,
you know; usually the products of
tropical countries of the East, but
sometimes found in the tropics of
America. They come from different
parts of the plants, as ginger from
the root, pepper and nutmeg from
the fruit, cinnamon from the bark
and cloves from the bud. And, let
me tell you one more thing about
them. If you want to get the very
freshest and best, be sure to go to
the Grand Union Tea Co., 20S North
Second street, for that's where you'll
find them.

MAKES APPEAL
FOR KNITTERS
Red Cross Asks Women of the
City to Knit Garments
For Refugees

The Red Cross branch in this city
is making an appeal to all knitters
to come forward again and get busy
on a few articles of knitted wear
that must be gotten out in double
quick time. The wool will be sup
piled by the Red Cross if only the
women of this city who We're so
faithful during the war will once
more take up the needles in this
worthy cause.
Children'S sweaters, stockings and
shawls are the articles most needed
at present and they are to be sent
as soon as possible to refugees
from the countries which are still
so disorganized.
Announcement was also made this
morning at the local headquarters
that the graduates of DR.. Taylor's
advanced first aid class may receive
headquarters in Walnut street.
The canteen report for this past
month shows a decided decrease in
the number of troop trains which
went through. 1t is estimated that
after November l, the trains will be
so few that the present canteen OF
ganization may be disbanded. 5000
men were fed during August in
comparison with the 5000 of July.
10 trains only came through mere
last month. The booth at the station
for the service of all soldiers will
in all probability be discontinued in
the near future also as there is prac-
tically nothing to do for the workers
Wig are on duty there the entire
day.

nON'T do your fall houseclean-
ing in the fashioned way.
1t doesn't pay! Instead of
shaving with broom and rug
beater, go right down to the Dau-
phin Electrical Supplies Co., 436
Market street.-the home of every
thing electrical-and buy yourself
an electric clearer. 1t will be the
wisest investment you ever made.
Not only will it save you from slav-
ing unnecessarily during house
cleaning time, but it will prove a
constant blessing throughout the
year. In a quick. easy manner it
will clean your rugs without stirring
up a sirgle speck OF dust. That is
but one of it's many virtues.

IVXT HY are Roshon's portrait
w ures So much batter than
the average ones?" you
ask. Well, many answers could be
given, for many elements enter in.
But one of the main reasons lies in
the fact that at the Roshon studio
new ideas in controlling light are
carefully carried out. In nature,
light comes from all directions
sometimes brilliant, sometimes sub
dued. KEowing this, Mr.. Roshon
has followed the custom in vogue in
New York and Philadelphia of so
arranging lighting effects that his
pictures possess an air of originality
and naturalness that the photog-
raphers who depend mainly upon
the light falling from skylights can
absolutely never attain. Does that
answer your question?

ROBERTS OUTHGHTS WEINERT BEATING HIM
BADLY, But FAILS TO LAND k. 0. BLOW

Al Roberts, the nineteen-year-old
lightweight of Staten Island, well
known among the ring supporters
locally, last night ~outpointed Charlie
Wefnert in their e~ight-round bout at
the Bayonne A. A.
When Roberts was booked he was
told that he would be pitted against
a man who would prove a hard nut
to crgck. They did not inspire any
fear In the breast of the islander who
trained faithfully. His victory last
night has proved to his many admir-
ers that Al is there with the goods.
BY his emerging on top, in last
nights milling, he is certain to climb
up among the topnotchers.
In the opening round Roberts
closed Weinert's right eye, but al is
customary with AL, the first few

his scraps hereabouts has never
claimed them as his.
Weinert last night was credited
with the first three chapters. From
then on Roberts clearly outfoughi
the Newark boxer. Roberts came
back fast and in the next five rounds
damned Weinert all about the ring,
cutting the Newark boy, closing his
eye. in fact, hitting him right and
left, but could not secure a kayo. His
followers were a trifie surprised that
AL did not place the cuckoo blow"
on Weinert with the piece of pig iron
stored away in his fists.
The weights were: Weinert 1874
pounds; Roberts, Ill pounds.
Roberts had the record of scoring
fourteen knockouts before his bout
with Weinert.
