The Art of Price Making.
(Bangalore Indentors' Guide.)

1 asked a young business men il
Commercial stret the other day that ir
order to make profit of 20 per cent
how much will he have to add on Rs
100. He answered with a sknowing
smile and triumphantly, Rs. 20. L asked
him to apply the mode of reasoning by
which he had reached the conclusion to
the figures before him and see if ii
would work, and his surprise, when he
found it wouldn't, was great.
To figure the profit on any article
correctly. subtract cost from the selling
price, divide the result decimally by the
selling price and the result will be the
true profit Thus: Cost, Rs 10; selling
price, Rs. Is; profit, Rs 5; and Rs. Is
is contained in Rs. 5 1888 times, show
ing profit of SO 1-3 per cent and not
so per cent. The same calculation ap-
plies to marking so many per cent dis
count on your clearance sale.
For the benefit of those whose heads
are rather thick l give the following
short and simple way by which goods
can readily be marked at any of the
percentages common to business:
To make profit of 16 2-3 per cent
add 20 per cent to cost.
To make profit of 20 per cent, add
20 per cent to cost.
To make a profit of 20 per cent, add
SO 1-3 per cent to cost.
To make q profit Of SO 1-3 per cent,
add 80 per cent to cost.
To make profit of 80 per cent, ado
100 per cent to cost.
Figure your percentages during your
clearance sale according to the above
table and you will never be lost.

Filtration and Typhoid.
New York World.)

| Some important facts and figure S
may be gathered from Dr. Nef's report
on typhoid fever conditions in Phila-
/ delphia, showing a remarkable de
| crease in the number of cases of that
| disease since the partial introduction
of filtered water in that city.
| In the year 1906, when only a small
part of the city was supplied with
water from the filtration system.
there were 9,721 cases. In the follow
| ing year, when the area covered by the
| filtration system had been considerably
extended, there were 6,721 cases. Since
that year and with the constantly in
creased extension of the area served
with filtered water there has been a
| notable decrease in the cases of this
disease, the number of 1908 being only
1852, or only little more than a third
as many as in 1906, which was a record
year For the past six months Of the
present year there were only 1853
cases, and it is thought the entire num-
Der Of the present year, based on the
decreasing percentage, will not be over
1000.
OF course, even 1000 eases Of typhoid
are far too many for a city of Phila-
delphia's population. or. for that mat
ter, for any city, but even that number
will probably be greatly reduced next
year.
Water, however is not the only
means by which the typhoid germ is
conveyed. Milk, fruit and uncooked
vegetables may also be the bearers Of
the disease germ. but in general water
is the usual means of communication.
and happily all progressive cities row
recognize that fact and spare no pains
or expense to secure a pure wRtet
supply.

Work Worthy of Women.

| A woman in Cincinnati the other day
I caused the arrest of a man who was
cruelty beating a horse. That same day
q Chicago woman performed a similar
mission in the name of humanity vol
unteering to rebuke the offender and
bring about his prosecution when a
small army of male spectators had de-
clined TO interfere.
Here is field of endeavor in which
women are constantly putting men to
shame. The man may argue quietly to
his friend that such cruelty to animals
should not be permitted, and that the
authorities should be invoked, but it is
always the woman who is courageou
enough to take the matter in hand. to
summon the policeman, and to see that
the barbarity is punished.
1t has been long the contention that
women never know how to treat an ami
NAL. This may be still is dispute. but it
cannot be denied that women are quick
to know when an animal is brutaIly
mistrated. and it is to- women that the
poor animals may look for prompt ex-
preston of sympathy and equally
prompt assertion of defense
Nearly every woman is by nature a
member of the Humane society and the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals. 1t is true that there are some
women too timid or too diffident to be
immediately as assertive as the two
women whose actions have been speci-
fed. but all the impulse OF disgust and
wrath is there, and, happily, in many
instances they express themselves.
