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.

Sold Hogs by T elephone
A South Carolina farmer had a large number
of hogs which were ready to kill. 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.

Explorer Tells of Dire Results of "Civ
ilization" Among the Eskimos
That Ho Has Known.
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. O'Leary, the washer
woman, -a rawboned. dejected soul ?
who spoke, Evidently there >vas for
her no inexpressible glory Shining
aiirtd the blue and white draperies of
a bassinet. 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

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

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?

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
