bought for keeps If it proved defective, that was th2 nuyer's lookout, but as the better stores improved their methods, along with a policy of making good any imperfection in goods or service came the privilege to return goods and receive credit or money back. This rieht, when not noosed, is reasonable and should be retained. Sometimes a blemish, not peiceptilde at the store, shows when the goods are delivered. Sometimes

.should be rectified. It is very difficult, for instance, to be sure of the effect of a rug as to color and form when choosing it in an enormous room from a bewildering array of other rugs. One may in all good faith find that the rug chosen goes badlj- with the other furniture ami the lighting of one's home. Such a purchase should be exchangeable after a few days trial. Hut do peopl - realize that not less than twenty per cent of all merchandise port based is returned? Much of the cost of running of a big store is due to the habit of ordering things carelessly ami returning them, more or kr-s tlamagtd, always badly packed, doubling the effort needful for pelting a given article from s-helf to

twenty per cent? Hvery buyer pays his share. livery article in every store must be marked higher to pay for heedless folly. The council of national defense is asking women as a war measure to cut down this unnecessary outlay of labor and money. The council wants every woman to think twice about every article die purchases, decide definitely, and keep what she buys. As for wearing the hat or garment sent on approval, or copying its design, and then leturning it, that is just plain thievery, and should be recognized as such. It is sometimes vor.? than that.

HOROSCOPE
iioiioxi'opi:. Ti i:si.Y, ,hm: is, nn:. Astrologers read this as rather a fortunate day. Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn are all in benefic aspect, although their influence is -lot strong. The new moon of this date i a partial eclipse c f the sun. Kalling in the third deem of the sign of Gemini it is supposed to presage tho death of a ruler or king. Mercury, ruler of the eclipse, is conjoined with Mhts. an evil omen of legal and religious troubles. libel, slander, fraud, and forgery. Mars, ruler f the seventh house, is read as presaging violent warfare, desecration of hurehes. disasters at sea. and many grave troubles. The indications are good for agriculture, even though more than one crop may be damaged. Many accidents in aviation are foreshadowed, while hospital and public institutions are likely to be damaged by furs and explosions. The culmination of Saturn in (Jermany is interpreted as of exceedingly evil import, but as it is f-extile to Jupiter the kaiser may have new allies. The full moon a month hence will be even more threatening and the seers declare that raids on coasts, battles at sea and disasters to shipping are strongly indicated. This day should be favorable for journeys and for beginnings of vacation?. It is a most fortunate rule for persons past middle life, and astrologers promise that they will have new chances in business and public affairs. Again increase in the number of deaths among the old and those who have held highest places in the country is predicted. Hefore universal pp'tce has been attained all who have enjoyed the plaudits of the world will have made way for the new generation that will lead in the new era. Th rapid growth of the true democratic spirit will manifest itself in an extraordinary manner in the United States in more than one event, it Is prophesied. Persons who?e birthdate it is may expect a successful year. Young girls will have offers of marriage. Children born on this day should be most lucky in all their affair. These subject of Gemini are on the cusp and partake of canter characteristics. (Copy right. 1917.)

It is not too early now for the war gardener to begin thinking about canning his surplus products, says today's bulletin from the national emergency food garden commission cooperating with this newspaper in urging food production and conservation. Not only the garden surplus should be canned, but when vegetables are plentiful in the markets, the patriotic housewife will help save civic waste by preserving all the vegetables that her purse will allow. I vegetables are high in price the plea is likely to be made that it does not pay to can them. Hut this year, when every ounce of food saved counts in the great total, cost of preservation .should not bo taken into consideration as a barrier to thrift. If vegetables are expensive now, think whit they will bo wher. the snow Hie?: The average housekeeper, when told to can vegetables, is likely to throw up her hands in despair. This will be because she does not know the latest discoveries of science ir. food canning. She knows only the old way of "'putting up" perishables by cooking them thoroughly and then packing them in ears. This method i not successful with most vegetables. It is not too successful with fruit, as many a housekeeper "an testify who has gone to the fruit ifhelf in winter to find some of her choicest jars moldy, sour of working. And the old method is costly, tor, because it demands rich syrup? and heavily ppieed mixtures. The latest development In food canning is hv sterilization. Knder this system fruits and vegetables, well or slightly cooked as the case may be, are preserved by a process which kills all germ life in th cans after they are completely or partially sealed. It is cheaper and easier to preserve food by sterilization than by the old cooking method of canning, and. moreover, it is even easier to put up vegetables than fruits by this method. In succeeding bulletins will bo given the directions for home sterlization.
