1 EVENING LEDGER- SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1914. 11 HEATH FINDS ROOM FOR BETTERING MARKETS OF CITY President of National Housewives' League Criticises Methods of Buying and Divergence in Prices. If there is any one who might be Justly named "the mother of our country" it is Mrs. Julian Heath. She is national presldent of the Housewives' League--and more.

Mrs. Heath came here to visit the Philadelphia markets today and also to take steps toward establishing a branch of the league in this city. Mrs. Hath doesn't believe in receiving neatly typewritten reports about market conditions on calendared paper. She goes on the firing line herself without fuss or feathers and gets to the root of things.

This morning she was up long before 6 o'clock and down at South street's curbstone market. After getting A line on things there, she went to the Second street market, the Terminal and the Farmers' market on Ridge avenue. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. Summing up her conclusions candidly and without intent of unfriendly criticisni, Mrs. Heath said: "There is great opportunity for improvement in this city's markets, and, AS the housekeepers are theme receptive mood, the time is ripe for to get together with the legislators and authorities and establish markets where the people may get their provisions without red.

tape and style and at reasonable prices." Mrs. Heath was accompanied on her trip by Mrs. William E. Lee, chairman the Pure Food Committee of the Civic Club, and Frank Shaw New York, her personal representative. The national president of the Housewives' League said she was not of New Tork, or Boston, or any other particuJar place.

am with the housewives no matter where I am." said this gressive woman, "and it I can give any suggestions which will bring them good food at right prices I feel amply repaid for my Mrs. Heath is short of stature with kindly face and manner, which makes one feel as though knew her six months after they had known her half an hour. She an optimist, and as the 800,000 members of the league in this country benefting by her ideas she must be practical. believe in constructive campaigns Instead of the destructive." said at the Bellevue-Stratford. "I have found.

coo, that the dealers will welcome that time when the housekeepers know how to buy. PHONE ORDERS A MISTAKE. "It is too bad that the housekeeper of today doesn't market like her mother or grandmother did. Why does a woman order provisions over the telephone and expect to get the best there is in the store? She wouldn't order a hat that way or a dress. Shouldn't we be just ag particular about the food we eat as the clothes o1 hats we wear? Some housewives admit that they have not been in 8 grocery or provision store in years.

What is the result? They never get to know the dealers, and all the grocery man knows about them is that Mra Jones or Mrs. Smith has ordered a bill of goods, A personal acquaintance with the dealer would help matters so much TEACHING HOUSEWIVES HOW TO MARKET Mrs. William E. Lee, chairman of ing best ways to market with Mrs. was snapped at the Farmers' Market, and tend to square dealing on the part of both.

"I have found right here in Philadelphia that the dealers will be glad to see more intelligent buying on the part of housekeeper. Sometimes a woman will say, 'I haven't got time to gO to What would she say if her husband would announce that he did not have time to go to work? I have often found that the same woman who doesn't have time to go to the grocery has plenty of time to gO to bargain sales. The housewife should be trained to spend just as the husband is trained to produce. "The woman should know whether the wholesale price of things she buys is high or low. "In cities where the league is organized we have founds the woman who ordered over phone charged more than the woman who went personally to the store.

A line on the prices is obtained by the meetings of our neighborhood groups." As to Impure foods, Mrs. Heath said if women would go where only pure food was to be had and buy it, very soon there would not be any impure food to buy. She is also endeavoring to have a sanitary flour bag adopted by millers and dealers all over the country. All the Philadelphia dealers approached today strongly favored this idea, and will take definite steps to abolish the flour bags now in use. MORE DIVERGENCE IN PRICE.

Regarding prices here, she found that the food at the Reading Terminal in most cases cost just twice as much as provisions of the same quality at the South street curb market. She suggested that CHILDREN'S CORNER APPETITE. But my breakfast if I eat, Mush and eggs and all, Candy they will give for treat; 'Fraid I won't grow tall. BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES HO, hum! I think it's about time I did something different!" cried Jimmy South-breeze one October morning. "Different?" asked his mother, "did you ever do the same thing twice?" Jimmy thought a minute.

"Maybe didn't," he finally admitted, "but I want to do something different time-something that isn't on land!" His mother laughed gaily. "Then you have two somethings to choose from." Jimmy put on his most wise and important look and prepared to decide. "The first thing you can do," his mother said, "is to blow up in the air." Jimmy looked up at the house tops and the tree tops. "Seems to me they are pretty high," he remarked casually. "Oh.

no, they are not high, they are not up in the air at all. Houses and tree, tops interest are nothing--clouds are us. Look at those clouds!" Jimmy looked. Sure enough! There were clouds and more clouds, great white masses sailing over the sky, "They seem very, very he said solemnly, "Oh, aren't high," laughed his mother. "I blow up there most of the time.

But if it seems a bit giddy to you, why not blow out upon the water. I'm sure that would be pleasant." The water idea pleased Jimmy very much better than the thought of blowing up among the clouds. "I think I'll do that, mother," he decided; "but please, won't you go long Now and Mrs. show South the way?" wanted -breeze very much to go along with Jimmy, but she so tianted him to learn to be brave when the old United Press was organized and developed a plan of taking late telegraph matter direct from ticker and netting it up on linotype. He invented telegraph instrument so small that It could be enclosed in a watch case and which could be attached to the ear of an As orgaporter in 1893, during the cholera New York, when Governor Flower had all ships quarantined at Fire Island, he hired a Rallboat, made trip to the island, obtained the news to be had there and then telegraphed It to his newspaper.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3. -Rabbi Daniel Lowenthal of 564 West 160th street, died yesterday afternoon his home, after an illness of some time. four years ago the rabbi had to retire from the 2d Street Temple because of an attack of heart trouble, and since that time he has been a sufferer.

Rabbi Lowenthal was born in Horfstein, Germany. in 1852. He came to this country in 1874 and identified himself with the B'nal-Salem Synagogue, and was noted for performing many marriage ceremonies. JAM Nursie got a piece or bread And covered it with jam; "You are so she said; Thinks I always am. and self-reliant.

And she knew that if she went along he would depend on her instead of himself. So with pretended indifference she said, "Oh, no. I can't go with you. And you don't need me anyway, you blow along and "That good time--I'm busy." sounded easy--when she said it; but it wasn't so easy to do. Jimmy had been all over the parks, the streets and up and down in the big buildings, but the water was different.

However, he was plucky and venturesome and he decided he would try it. He blew down the busy street and over to the wharfs. There he saw many boats. He especially admired one great big one and quickly blew up on the deck and hid behind a great pile of rope. "This is going to be fine," he said to himselfely can travel on the boat as on land and ride over the water, too." He snuggled down behind the rope and thought himself very clever--till the boat pulled away from shore--out onto the harbor.

Then somebody said: "Well, that's the last of land we'll see for a week." "A week!" exclaimed Jimmy, and he darted out with a rush. want to go home." He blew frantically about the boat. till the people could hardly keep their hats on; and then he dashed over the side and across the bay towards the shore. The waves whipped up into foam and the little harbor boats rocked and tumbled--but Jimmy rushed madly When othe reached shore he laughed at his fright. "Hi, ho, I did do something different," he cried, "I made my very first storm.

And he hunted up his mother to tell her about it!
