NEA11LY a hundred persons were
present on Tuesday afternoon at
the residence of Mrs. "W. B. Ayer
lo listen to a parlor talk given by Rabbi
Wise before the Consumers League of
Portland. Dr. Wise spoke on the duties
of spending money, and Impressed his
hearers with the conviction that to get
anore than the money's worth in buying
an article, or to buy things at a price
which leaves no margin for profit in pro
ducing it, is really defrauding the pro
ducer and is, therefore, immoral. He said
that while Portland is not a large city
and while the remark had been made that
the Consumers' Licaguo is not neided
here as much as in places like New York
and Chicago, he felt that Portland should
express its principles and that these
.should bo not less worthy than those of
larger cities. Th6 Consumers League
movement, he felt, would do much toward
enforcing the child-labor laws throughout
the country. Dr. "Wise was Introduced by
Miss Mary Montgomery.
The local branch of the Consumers'
Jjcaguo already numbers 100 members,
though it has been organized but a short
time. It is proposed to hold parlor meet-
Ings in different sections of the city. In
order to interest as many persons as pos
sible in the Jeague. Mrs. C. S. Jackson
has recently boon appointed chairman of
the llnance committee, and. Mrs. George
Hussell chairman of the publicity com
mittee. The next parlor motlng will be
held in South Portland at the residence of
Mrs. Elmer Colwell.

keep their hearth fires brightly burning.

ARE YOU BECOMING
LIGHT -WISE?
Jf The question of artificial light in your home
is worthy of serious consideration.
J Do you realize, fully, what electric service
means in the household all that it bestows in the
direction of health, comfort, convenience, conserva
tion of eyesight, .and the added "TONE" to your
home?
J Do you care to have your home as convenient
and comfortable for you and yours as you can
make it?
J Electric service is available to the smallest
as well as the largest user. So cheap is the service
at our REDUCED RATES that it can be afforded
in the smallest homes. In fact, it is in the smaller
home that the utility and economies of electricity are
most readily appreciated that such blessings to
the housewife as Electric Flat-irons, Electric cook
ing utensils, Electric hair curlers, the Electric heat
ing pad (taking the place of the obsolete ho,t-water
bag), an Electrically operated sewing machine, or
any other of a hundred other devices, become recog
nized as indispensable adjuncts, and TIME,
HEALTH and MONEY savers in the household.
Electricity for Everyday Needs
