terest in the reports from other 10

The Evil of Easy Credit.

That people of moderate resources
are much given to living beyond their
means in the effort to keep up with
their richer contemporaries is a fact
long established The Massachusetts
bureau of labor statistics arrives at
this old conclusion by new route
In SO doing, it suggests that to the
extensive employment of credit and
the inStallment system moral as well
as economic unwisdom may attach
The bureau has gathered figures to
show the uncollectible Indebtedness
of the people of the state They are
very large figures. A disregard is in
evidence, amazing in the aggregate
of it's results, of the claims of butch
ers, grocers and other small trades
men 1t is implied in the report that
to the spreading of the installment
business 20 an extreme much of this
evil is traceable. Credit has become
SO easy that the responsibilities of
debt are more lightly regarded. As
against traders, too, who merely keep
books an immense advantage for col
lections rests with dealers who hold
contracts with forfeiture of goods as
one of the penalties of missing regu-
lar payments. The argument is not
against the installment principle.
More often than not the system of
part payments is a great help. 1t is
a special providence to many young
people starting at housekeeping. 1t
has assisted in the building of count
less homes. These accomplishments
justify its maintenance. But, re-
marks the New York Press, that the
system is abused there can be no dis
pute. Extravaganza loses its warn
ing face when it is represented by
small sum per week or per month, in
stead of a large sum cash down.

Last week Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt
travelled through Connecticut in
motor car. Nothing strange about
that; an automobile excursion is with
out significance; but it happens the
lady on this particular car was a cen
tenarian- A very jolly one she must
be, for she has gone five years above
par, and yet says the motor is her ia
vorite vehicle. But Mrs. Hunt is the
new woman" the very newest wom-
an, in fact, when at the age of los
she enjoys life as though she were
only so. And who shall say this new
note of the day, the woman of los, is
not to be the answer to DIR. Osler's

will subscribe to it, but for the woman
incapable of perennial youth the out

Dangerous Anti-Fat Treatment.

Fat girls who are inclined to drink
vinegar and eat pickles in the hope
of reducing flesh may take warning
from the fate of Annie Gross, a 25-
year-old ST. Louis woman. She was
stout" and had been dieting to re-
duce her flesh. She ate no meat or
heavy food and neighbors gave the
information that she had made a
practice of eating from a dozen to
two dozen sour pickles a day and
drinking from half a pint to a pint
of vinegar every "a hours. Sudden
death came to her Sunday evening
when she had left a party of her
friends to get drink of water. At
the autopsy physicians found the in
ner walls of the stomach almost COM
pletely eaten away. The cause of
death was given as "hemorrhage of
the stomach and aCetic poisoning"
due to pickles and vinegar. 1t is
easy, says the Chicago Sun, to see
how such results would naturally
come more quickly to a stomach that
was deprived of other classes of food.
A similar condition has often been
found in the stomach of men who
were small eaters and habitual drink
ers of large quantities of hard cider.
The stomach is not a proper recepta-
Gle into which to pour quantities of
strong acid.
