Which ever way you apply it ? it saves money You have heard repeatedly about the goodness of a rule that works both ways. We know a rule that will work to the advantage of the man who buys high priced made-to-measure clothes through habit, and also the man who buys a cheap ready-made suit through not knowing. Our rule reads? "Buy Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes, ready-to-put-on. Every advantage of the high priced made-to-measure with a saving in time and money. Every advantage over the cheap ready-made ? a lot of personal seitisfac tion and an ultimate saving of money. The garments prove the_rule. At this store only in Camden. Today is a good time. L.

The weather was so warm that killing was out of the question. H e went to his telephone, called a dealer in Columbia over Long Distance and sold his hogs at a good price. He then called the local freight office and arranged for shipment. The telephone is now a necessity on the farm. You can have one on your farm at small cost.

Cold and facta presented by VllhaJalmar Ktefansaon ahow why ho wUhea to protect Uia "blond Kakl inoa" from contact with the whltea. He nays In the Oeographical Magazine ! that according to records In the 00 i years up to 1910 the Mackenzie river Kaklmos "have been civilized, Chrls tlujitzfd and reduced by white wen's diseases from over 2,000 to leaa than 40. In 1911 there were at 'Cape ? liathurst about 40 civilised Hlaklmo^ i partly Mackensle river people and j partly emigranta, and out of that 40 I a good 20 were aerloualy 111, two of , thtiui permanently insane, while fcn an uncivilized group (j*hlch from the l very beginning has been laolaied ' from white men) we found only one aick, an old man who had been blind for Homcthing like eight yeara. "And not only were many of the civilized Mackenzie people chronical ly 111, but they were alao Insufficient ly clothed and lneufttclontly fed. There waa in 1911 probably not a single In dividual In the Prlnoe Albert soqnd< group who did not have at least two' complete aulta of warm akin olothlng and many had several suite, while among the civilized Etekimoa of tike Mackenzie at any time between 1908 and 1912 a man who had even one good suit waa hard to find. Moat of them are ao poorly clad that they are unable to hunt seal in winter through being Insufficiently protected from the cokl. "This insufficiency of clothing la the result of two things: First, the In troduction of rifles has destroyed the caribou upon which they depended for clothing, and, spcondly, the multlpUcar tion of new wants, such as the deeire for tea. tobacco, sugar and ammuni tion, forces them to barter for these expensive luxuries the akins whloh they might otherwise have used to dress in for the cold." "TELEPHONE" FOR THE DEAF1 Letters and Numbers to Be Flashed on Buttons by an Electric Key board, Is the Idea. An optical telegraph intended to fill the place of the telephone for talking with a deaf per eon has recently been, invented by a deaf and dumb married couple of Berlin, Germany. It consists, essentially of a keyboard, as In a type writer, through whose keys single elec tric currents pass. In each circuit is included an incandescent lamp with a flat surface, bearing a letter of the [ alphabet or a Roman numeral. Presa i ing any key causes the corresponding lamp to glow. Thus words and sen tences {ire spelled out and numbers are formed. The keyboard can be operated as fast as that of an ordinary typewriter, so that with practice communication be comes very smooth and rapid. Bach station, of course, must contain both a sender and a receiver and theao may be in different rooms or in houses a long distance apart. The instrument can bo conveniently* used for conversation between a deaf person and a normal person who te Ig norant of the finger language. The silence with which the dovice is opeis ated is a very important point in its favor. This feature might make it especially useful where quiet or se crecy in transmitting information isi desirable, as in sending war news or1 I secret instructions in business houses. Couldn't Break Off Cigarettes. King George, as every one knows, is very fond of his cigarette. Once hiB majesty said to the Czar, when the august cousins were talking of the evils of excessive indulgence In "fags:" "Do you know that, when I was years younger, I got an idea that, cigarettes were bad for me? I re solved to limit myself to live smokes a day. "Tho first day I managed to exi?t upon tho number "determined. The. second day I smoked all five before, lunch, and felt miserable for tho rest of the day. The third day T smoked the five judiciously, but still felt a. great 'wanting.' On the fourth day I could stand it no longer, and so smoked fifteen 'fags' to make up for my self-denial." "Wheel" Barometer. What is known as the wheel baro meter in an ingenious variation of Torricolli's idea. This banomoter was Invented by Robert llooke, probably the greatest "philosophical mechanic"* of his day. It is intended to indicate the weather without observing the, mercury itself. There is tho usual, tube, but it is bent at the bottom into, a short leg. In this leg a little glass float rests upon the surface of tho mer cury. A cord attached to the float passes over the pulley. The pullej# is furnished with a pointer that moves around the dial, tho moving agency be ing the rising or follirig mercury* which lifts or lowers the float. Old Theories About Lightning. Our forefathers had many theories, about ' lightning. Aocording to them no o Be could be struck by lightning while asleep, and no tree struck by' lightning could be burnt. Splinters from such a tree, dtligently che^red? were an infallible euro for toothache, and were, of course, pleasanter to the taste than the dentists' forceps. And the obi tlm#? schoolboy flrmly bettered that If he were rash enough to men tion lightning directly after a flash, the important part of his raiment would bo immediately torn off. _ And msny were his attempts to land his fellowa in that predicament. LEFT YOUNG MOTHER GASPING Mrs. O'Leiry'i Well Munt Words of Compassion Contained a Moaning That Shookod. There are still two opiolons con cerning red hair. Bfee wee a very proud young mother. All the old mas ters had never painted auoh a bam bino, had never Imagined such a cher ub kh hem. Quite aim ply she be lleved It. And the baby's hair was red. j It did not occur to her that red hair wan anything but completely and whol ly admirable. The little shining cop per colored head seemed to her the sum of all that www radiant and love !/? "I've come for the baby's wash, ma'am." It wan Mia.

How bard the world was on Home women! Bo thought tho young mother and proudly drew back tho cover from the baby's pest. "Come and look at my little daugh ter," she said, "See, she has red hair." ? A Hash, of some strong feeling could it be compassion? ? illumined the dejected features of Mrs. O'l^eary. The proud young mother felt her hand gripped in a grasp of Iron, and a warm Iriah voice sounded in her ears. "Thero, there," it said soothingly. "Don't you fret. Don't you fret. You can't never tell what they look like when they're small. Borae^ of -'em grows up into real good okln' girls. They do that I" LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS Gome Truth In Assertion That Pres ent Generation Considers Too Many "Wants" as "Needs." A woman who has been observing people and things has come to the conclusion that the expense of living today Is largely due to Individual in dulgence. People want so much more than they formerly did, or at any rate, if they wanted it before, they Qften did without It, for expe diency's sake; but now, she says, to want and to have go hand In hand without regard for expediency. This woman says: "My Idea of the wide spread complaint of the high cost of living is that people are not temper ate in supplying their three principal wants, namely: food, clothing and shelter. Some people cut down on food and shelter and spend an over abundance on clothing. Others in dulge themselves in rich foods that are absolutely unnecessary. Still others like to live in fashionable quarters and neglect their food and shelter. ;A person to be happy must preserve a balance in all things. One must be temperate with regard to food, clothing and shelter. Live in a respectable but not ultra-fashionable neighborhood; wear standard clothes, not the latest Paris fashions; eat good, substantial food, not rich, tasty delicacies that cater only to the pal ate, is my parting advice." Yes, She Probably Wo\*Id. "Does ;vnybody ever kick you in the nose?" said the ass. "Aye, does there," said the spider; "you and your like that are always walking, on me, or lying down on me, or running over me." "Well, why don't you stay on the wall?" said the ass. "Sure, my wife is there," replied the spider. "What's the barm in that?" said the ass. "She'd eat me," said the spider. "Have you got a wife yourself now?" "1 have not," said the ass. "I wish I had." "That's a bachelor's talk," said the spider; "all the same, we can't keep away from them." "If your wife was an ass she wouldn't eat you," said the ass. "She'd bo doing something else, then," replied the spider. ? Prom James Stephens "The Crock of Gold." That Vacant Chair. Perhaps it is moro sad when a chair is vacant in life than in death. Men mako a feast Many who might belong at tho tablo are not there. Death has not claimed them. What tho world votes to bo failure? has kept them away. In tho race as it is run they are the laggards. Perhaps, in our reckon ing they will never win. Had you noticed how in the next generation their children almost always arrive? Tho poor man's son is the rich man of tomorrow and the children of "fail ures" are the country's future success es. There is r.n ebb and flow of for tune which must rurely reconcile us all to the rhythm of being. Who dares estlmato life by a ningle generation? ? ? Los Angeles Times. Story of Hoheneollern Ghost. It was a Prussian royal wedding of four centuries ago that gave to the tradition of the "white lady," tho fa mous Hohenzollern ghost. Tho Bur grave Albert loved a young widow of tho house of Orlamunde, but once thoughtlessly remarked that their wed ding would bo "impossible until four oyes are out of tho way." He allured to his uncle and brother, but she thought he meant her two little chil dren, whom she accordingly murdered with a knitting needle. Tho horrified Albert forsook her and married So phia of Henneberg, whereupon tho orr ing widow, went mad, died and ever since has haunted tho royal palaces In mourning garb vrith a white veil. liOlKjU DIIUOOTOKY HUlu* star Chapter No. 4, k. a.
