THE CARELESS GROCER
BIundered, and Great Good Came of II

A careless grocer left the wrong
package at a Michigan home one day
and thereby brought a great blessing
to the household.
Two years ago was sufferer from
stomach troubles, so acute that the
effort to digest ordinary food gave me
great pain, and brought on a condition
of such extreme nervousness that
could not be left alone 1 thought I
should certainly become insane. l was
so reduced in flesh that 1 was little bet
ter than a living skeleton. The doc
tors failed to give me relief and I de-
SPARED of recovery.
"One day our groceryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis-
take, so 1 tried some for dinner. 1 was
surprised to find that it satisfied my
appetite and gave me no distress what
ever. The next meal 1 ate of il again,
and to be brief, have lived for the
past year almost exclusively on Grape
Nuts. 1t has proved to be a most
healthful and appetizing food, per-
fectly adapted to the requirements OF
my system.
"Grape-Nuts is not only easily di-
gested and assimilated, but I find that
since have been using it I am able
to eat anything else my appetite fan
cies, without trouble from fndiges-
ton. The stomach trouble and ner-
Vousness have left me, I have regain
| ed my plumpness and my views OF
| life are no longer Respondent and
gloomy.
"Other members of my family, espe
cially my husband, (whose old enemy
the heartburn has been vanquished)
have also derived great benefit from
the use OF Grape-Nuts food and We
think no morning meal complete with
out it." Name given by Postum Co.

WANTS EXPERIMENT STATION FOR WOMEN

Which is the more economical, a
kerosine or a gasoline stove and
which is the safer? Are your Ia
Dor saving devices actually labor
saving when you take into account
time and efficiency, or do you exert
more energy in getting them ready
to use than might be required if you
did your work in the old fashioned
way? Is it true that a kerosine stove
costs only two cents day to oper-
ate? What do yOu~knOw about the
comparative cost and efficiency Of the
fuels you use? Is it a fact that a
freless cooker always saves time and
sometimes saves money, and always
saves work and temper2 What is
the effect of altitude upon cooking?

lens confronting housekeepers were

tute at Manhattan, as reasons for es-

but will show where losses occur
and thus point out the way to better
methods. The farm is a factory where
labor and capital are employed in
experimenting natures efforts to pro-
vide for human needs. Neither en-
ergy, heroism nor chivalry will in
sure a corn fed beef to yield a profit.
Whether behind the counter or behind
the mule team, II is a matter OF net
profit. To master ones business,
there must be a knowledge of the
outgo and income, gained only by
periodical summing up and the COM
pairing of results. The modern guide
TO this is the ledger.
For the farmers need there are
suitable systems of bookkeeping at
nominal price These are arranged
and accompanied by instructions so
that the average 15-year-old son or
daughter may, in a few minutes a
day, keep all data needed to deter
mine what farm departments show
profit or a loss and which show the
greatest profit.
The necessary books are a journal,
day book and a ledger. The first
should consist of a record of all bust
ness transactions with dates and par
ticulars. This record should be made
daily and should include all that re-
lates to cash, labor or material AZ
least once a week these items in an
abbreviated form, should be carried
/ (posted) TO the ledger and placed IN
der such headings (accOunts) as:
Cash, labor. poultry expense, hay,
team. hired help, live stock, grain.
Or better still, especially if the bust
ness is large, some of these ac-
counts should be subdivided, as: live
stock into yearlings, milk COWS, work
horses, colts, etc, grain into wheat,
corn, etc, or into cornield No. I,
cornfieId No. ?, expense into cloth
ing, groceries, machinery. seed, etc.
The greater the number of &C
counts kept and the more accurate
the data and distribution of cost, the
more definite the results. In taking
the items TO the ledger (posting)
every account should be debited for
what it costs in cash, seed, feed, Ia
Dor. etc, and credited with what is
sold, used for food or on hand. March
I, or sooner, these accounts should
be balanced so as to show losses and
profits.

BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM LEADS TO
MORE PROFITS AND ULTIMATE SUCCESS
No More Reason Farmer Haphazzard His Business
Dealings Than 1t is for a Merchant Manufactures,
Says State Agricultural College
Authority
IBy s w McGarrah Assistant in Mathematics K s A CT


" APHAZARDNESS in business
transactions is the broad road
that leadeth to chaos, failure
and despair and many there be that
walk therein. It is said that "Op-
portunity is the gateway to success.
If this be true, system is the mar
row highway leading from oppOrtu-
ity to success. System requires a
suitable record of business transac-
tions so classified that the condition
OF the business may be known. Every
banker, merchant or manufa ctureE
knows that neglect in this matter
means ruin. The higher our stan
dard of living. the more we are de-
pendent upon one another and the
more complex our business relations.
This makes bookkeeping more nee
essary to him who would avoid the
pitfalls that cause disappointment to
nine-tenths of those going into bust
ness.
Generations ago when every family
constituted a little commercial world
of its own, the head of the family
giving his time and energy to fishing
or hunting and to gathering fruit,
nuts and fuel from the vast forest
about him, no record was needed.
But when it became necessary to
pillow and to SOW, to travel and to ex-
change products, records were neces-
sary to avoid endless confusion en-
failing losses and lawsuits. It is said
that more than three-fourths of the
petty lawsuits that kept our courts
busy twenty-five years ago were
caused by lack of suitable business
records. Where a contest arises now,
it is the main business of the attor-
ney to look over available records
and settle the matter out of court.
Twenty years ago one central Kansas
county had nearly 700 cases on its
docket; now it has about thirty.
The average farmer is still inclined
to dodge bookkeeping. This is part
~ because often a certain degree of
success may be realized without II,
or because a man is opposed to red
tape and thinks he cannot afford the
time. The merchant and manufac-
turer bases the selling price on cost.
How many farmers can tell what it
cost them in money and labor to pro-
duce a bushel of wheat, a pound Of
butter or a fat steer? Bookkeeping
on the farm will not only make it pay,

Once the ice made cracking sound
