A Decided Economy.

81 overheard two rather elderly men
talking about the high. cost of living
and the effect of advertising -newspa-
per and otherwise regarding the high
prices for foodstuffs prevailing at pres
ent,' said young suburbanite the
other day.
"One OF the gentlemen insisted that
the consumer was paying for the adj
vertising when he paid the market
prices for his produce. The other said
that the consumer was getting his
moneys worth because advertising
made living easier and better; that
without advertising one would have to
chase all over town in order to find
out where he could buy the best goods
for the least money and he would be
more than willing to pay for the mer-
chants advertising after the days
buying.
I think the last named gentleman
was entirely right. Advertising, espe-
cially newspaper advertising, has made
life much easier and better than 1t
would be without it. Ones wife can
get the morning paper and sit in the
parlor and order dinner, and compar
ing this with former times, when the
housewife had to go down to the mar
ket and scrap over q piece OF meat
