NHE housewife makes a great

Interruptions from tradesmen,

T\HE housewife makes a great
moan because she has so many
interruptions from tradesmen,
so many calls from delivery
boys and that her day is one long re-
ception line to the grocer, the iceman,
the butcher, the baker, the vegetable
boy, etc. But viewing this reception
line from the other end Of the glasses,
how about the time and trips the house
wife wastes for each of these who
bring her supplies? Is the delivery
boys time not worth something? Does
it make no difference to the iceman if
he has to stop the wagon, go round
the entry and up the eight back steps
for nothing?
Dealers in various lines have figured
out the daily cost for their delivery
service. Every call, every knock at the
back door, has a definite cash value.
The dealer ostensibly pays it, but Ill
timately it is the housewife consumer
who pays it in higher prices. The more
unnecessary delivery service the more
the running expense of the dealer and
hence less profit which he must make
up somewhere else.
It is truly only the inefficient house
wife who cannot master the daily
tradesman situation. Phone calls de-
handing four or five deliveries a day
indicate the slOppiest of wasteful man
agement. Even with such it1nerantS
as vegetable peddlers a definite under
standing can be made as to the two or
three special days on which they are
to call The writer lived for the win
ter months in a somewhat fashionable
suburb. Every day at about $50 a. m.
an order boy called from each butcher,
grocer, fish and vegetable store. What
a waste of good shoe leather, because
certainly if we need box Of cOrnstarch
and a bottle of olives tomorrow we can
perfectly well order them today. Or Il
we are living in any way removed
from barbar1ans who know not where
they are going to rush out and catch
their next meal we can and must plan
meals ahead.
But perhaps it is a poor iceman for
whom our pity surges at this season. We
hesitate to think that any woman looks
with envy on the economic independ-
ence of the average iceman. Starting
on his rounds at a. m, alternately
driving a clumsy wagon and handling
and carrying hundreds of pounds Of
frozen water until late at night, some
times as late as 10 o'clock on summer
Saturday nights-cannOt the housewife
assist in alternating his lot?
How many times we permit the ice
man to come all the way around only
to tell him las We take his time to look
while he is there that we do not need
any ice today. The card system is
gaining f0othold, but it should be more
universally and strictly adhered to. If
We need ice let US put out the card.
but do not let US waste the icem%sl' 5
time and that of his team in fruitless
calls at our back door.

This shop has a sort of quadruple
capacity in the business affairs of
Redwood Falls, in that it partakes of
the sale of hardware, of timing
work, and plumbing and heating. And
some of the stock in trade can hard
ly be classified in any of the four
above named departments. The hard
ware is the largest stock of the out
fit, and this is of both heavy machine,
and the lighter shelf goods, taking in
tools of all kinds, carpenter devices,
stoves, ranges, paints, and oils. Then

identified with for some time. The
trade derived by this store is from
local and farming territory, large

of local origin, though as time rolls

more and more in it's quest of either

If you will phone down to Kuen-

sack of Pillsbury's Best flour. Notice
they have some in today in addition
to the usual stock. We have been
using the Redwood flour and while
that is very good flour, I would like
to try the Pillsbury's just on account
of the good things I have heard con-
corning it. This firm of which Mr..
Kuenzli is senior partner has some
exceptionally fine groceries, too, and
their line of fruits, vegetables, crock
cry, dishes, cooking utensils, smoked
meats, teas and coffees (Chase & San
born's), is one of the best in this part
of the country. They have the Cur
tice Blue Label canned goods on sale
there, and keep a very nice tobacco
and cigar department. Of course,
good bit of their business is done
with the farming trade, exchanging
for produce, butter and eggs. Better
try them on your next supper order.

work. OF the helpful sort, paid dividends. 1t isn't
hard work. and it's mighty interesting; the re-
suits are profitable for both parties. Now every
time & farmer comes to town he has something
to sell. / pay him cash. and farmers in our COM
munity have learned tho value OF cash buying.
Just as far as it is practical l make my customers
my business partners. l do not carry a very
heavy stock, but l 10 keep n good assortment OF
nearly everything of which the farmer has need.
l have a carefully kept want list, which is filled
In every week, sometimes two or three times a
week. II a farmer comes in and asks for some
thing which l do not carry In regular stock it
goes down on the want list. Much OF this merchan-
disc is ordered by wire and shipped by express.
Often a farmer has made known a want one day
and l have handed him the article the next time
he came to town. This service pleases a farmer
customer just as much as 1t does Milady in town.
He enjoys knowing that you appreciate his trade
to the extent that you are willing to go out of
your way to satisfy his needs
Selling goods plus service is the foundation upon
which l have built my business. In 1907 l had
outgrown my first quarters and moved into a
larger store. In 1909 l erected my own building,
again larger, and in 1918 l built an addition. My
sales floor covers fifty by seventy feet, and l have
several warehouses nearby. Last year my stock
invoiced $~s,s59.69. while my total sales ran over
$54. 900.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Sours the
Food and Forms
Gases

Undigested food delayed in the stom'
ach decays or, rather, ferments the same
as food left in the open mir, says noted
authority. He also tells us that indiges'
ton is caused by hyperacidity, meaning
there is an excess OF hydroehloric acid IN
the stomach which prevents complete
digestion and starts food fermentation
Thus, everything eaten sours in the
stomach, much like garbage sours IN a
can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which
initiate the stomach like toy balloon.
Then we feel heavy, lumpy misery IN
the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, flatulenee,
water brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and, instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass OF water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is eff
fervescing and, furthermore, to continue
this for Week. While relief follows the
first Dose it is important to neutrallze
the acidity, remove the gas-making mass
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys,
and thus promote free flow OF pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and IS made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia and sodium phos-
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.-Rdyt.

ITALY DENIES
NEUTRAL PACT
WITH GERMANY
An Offer of Territory By Austria Was
Made, But Not Accepted,
Rome lteports.

Rome March I2.-An authoritative de-
NAL is made of the conclusion OF an
1talo- German agreement insuring ltaly's
neutrality and based upon Austrian con-
cessions which was persistently rumored
here last evening.
The foreign office admits that propos-
ais for such an agreement were made
and that negotiations took place
The time is near when ltaly's atti-
tude will be altered, diplomatic prepara-
ton being inevitable before any decision
is taken. The proposed agreements and
oners of compensation win not influence
Italy's action, which will be based eX-
clusively upon the safeguarding Of her
own interests and not those Of the bell
ligerents.
The premier conferred with the war
minister and the chief Of staff yester-
dav and subsequently received Prince
Won Buelow. the German ambassador,
whose communication was said to be Of
the greatest Importance. Information
from diplomatic source was to the eff
feet that Germany, realizing that Italian
intervention is now inevitable, had per-
suaded Austria to make partial terri
torial cessions, conditional upon ltalys
non intervention.
Although negotiations are pending, the
possibility of their successful conclusion
is very remote. as the compensation Of
fered is not proportionate to Italian as
pirations. Moreover, prolonged neutral
ity exposes Italy to exclusion from the
partition of Turkey and to the inevitable
loss OF her interests in the near East
and the Mediterranean. The negotia-
lions, however. are apt to afford pre-
text for intervention which is expected
within a week at the latest
