Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee and tea did for him
My wife and l drank our first cup
Of Postum little over two years
ago, and we have used 1t ever since,
to the entire exclusion of tea and
coffee. 1t happened in this way:
Il had an attack of pneumonia,
which left me with dyspepsia, or neu-
ralgia of the stomach. My cup OF
cheer had always been coffee or tea.
but became convinced. after time.
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. / happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and be
suggested that / give Postum trial.
Next day 1t came, and We liked 1t
80 much that we will never change
back; for am q we'll man today and
have used no medicine.
my work as chief bookkeeper In
our Co.'S branch house here is Of .
very confining nature. During my cof-
fee drinking days was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi-
ton to my sick spells. These have
left me since 1 began using Postum
and 1 can conscientiously recommend
It to those whose work confines them
to long hours Of severe mental exer-

We and the British Have Sweet Tooth.
Britons have the sweetest tooth. and
Americans come next. II the statis-
tics for consumption Of sugar mean
anything. An Englishman eats annu-
ally 92.4 pounds. an American con
sumes 1872 pounds. In Denmark the
average consumption is 72.6 pounds
per capita; in Switzerland 1t ts b
pounds; in Germany. Holland. Sweden
and Norway 1t is from 80 to ~
pounds; In France. 35 pounds; in
Belgium, 33: in Austria, 24.2: in Rus
sia. 1873; In Portugal. 15.A; in Spain.
and Turkey. II; in Italy. Bulgaria,
Roumania and Serbia, from 6 to z
pounds.
The principal reasons for these varf
ations is found in the relative high
ness or lowness Of the customs duties
on sugar and on the things with which
It is commonly associated-coffee. tea.

oh, why should love get In a stew,
Conclude with Cupid's curse!
They that do change Old love for new
Pray gods they change for worse.
II you were to ask goodly num-
ber of the wives OF business men
what they would be, could they but
be touched by some good fairy's wand
and turned into what they would, It
is not q queen OF fashion they would
yearn to become, nor yet glorious
star in the theatrical armament, or
silver-throated songstress laurels
would they crave.
II their one aspiration could be
realized, It would be to become a ste
nographer in hubby's ONCE. He pays
twenty per week to "the other arm in
his off1ce;" wifey would gladly as
sumo the same duties for half that
amount-or he need nay >her only
what he had a mind to II business
was dull.
The average wife wonders why hus-
bands would not Jump at such an Of
fer from their heartmates. She could
hang family pictures around and
about the office. making It look for all
the world like home. He would have
someone to confide in when perplexsd
and needing advice, such as only an
interested woman could give: hold
his head when it ached dreadfully.
and whisper CHEEKY consolation when
he was most In need OF it. II would
do away with the necessity of his
having to explain at home why he
remained in his Office so late. and al
lowed his soft heart to be touched by
Mrs. Tom, Dick and Harry, who wan
dered into his office according to his
story to collect money for distant
heather, this, that and the other
thing to which he could not well help
contributing.
And then his business affairs. The
majority OF wives are usually at sea
and in a fog concerning that which Is
Of such vital concern to them. II
they were but his stenographers, they
could keep bead on his income and
what the outgo was for. He wouldn't
have to send out for ice cream and
cake for luncheon for his wife-a
sandwich and a cup Of tea would suf-
fee her.
And then wouldn't 1t be delightful
to have wife coming and going with
him? Hubby then could have the
backbone to resent Indignantly the
ogling and smiles cast his way on
street and in car by designing fe-
males. He'd save temper. money.
and honor, perhaps, by such an ar.
rangement.
OF course shed have to run home

cannot agree with those who believe,
or say they believe. that all the good
fortune which comes to one Is the re-
suit OF luck, for l have seen SO many
girls who sit and wait idly for luck to
come to them brushed aside by the
girls who had ambition and pushed.
One girl takes pains to make herself
as attractive to the eye as her limita-
lions Of dress will permit. 1t costs
nothing to do her hair up in curl pa
pers at night, brush her street hat
and cloak ere she hangs them up; sew
= rent In her dress or patch her gloves.
Another young woman will ding down
her hat and coat. trusting to find them
somewhere In her mad rush to locate
them on the morrow. She doesn't
bother with her hair. "No one sees.
No one cares. What's the use?" she
phiiosophizes.
There she is In error. The manager
sees and notes her slipshod appear
ance. Customers are not attracted to
her. She looks what she is-despond-
ent-as she steps out on the street
She has nothing to wear. SO she does
not go out OF an evening. little in
genuity might transform her extra
black waist into a thing OF beauty with
but little cost. II her fingers were
nimblc. She will not make the at
tempt. She's tired enough without
sewing, she declares. She sits lost in
day dreams. hugging to her bosom the
notion that II luck is to be hers it will
come to her somehow, sometime. and
II 4 lover is for her he will walk right
up to her door on some business. she
does not know what.
One girl has the ambition to dress
herself tastefully and go out to visit
her woman friends of an evening
banishing from her mind how hard she
has worked during the day. She is not
on the sharp lookout for loves ap-
proach, believing that love and mar
riage are the aim of every woman's
hopes. II she meets nice men while
out In company she treats them well,
but doesn't lose her beauty sleep in
allowing her mind to dwell upon those
who have shown no particular prefer
ence for her. ~
But when Mr.. Right comes along,
she recognizes his congeniality. and is
pleased to accept what the gods have
provided-and she has helped to dis
cover-by visiting at her friends
home, looking SO sweet. dainty and
lovable. Their meeting was not luck.
but resulted from the fact she helped
to G.Lt: stier girls evenings bright
and CHEEKY by visiting ,aem, regard
less Of whom she might meet by SO
doing.
Half OF the worlds mischief and sor-
rows are caused by young women
awaiting luck to come to them. to lift
them out Of their dark, sordid sur
roundings into the sunshine Of pros

matrimony, giving themselves up. body
and soul, as 1t were, to this mistaken
notion. 1t is well enough for artists
to dream of their art and students to
coddle their theories. Their day
dreaming may be Of wonderful benefit
to mankind. The girl who is an idle
dreamer of love has no such good rea-
son to offer for the wasting Of her
time.
In every line Of endeavor all achieve
ments are worked out through endeav-
or, earnest, hard work and push. Luck
has no hand in 1t. Luck, is a reed

PUSHING CENSUS OF
. US. MANUFACTURES
Department of Commerce viii
Give Results to Country
Early As Possible.

The Census Bureau is engaged in TAX
ing the centennial census OF manufac-
lures. That is. 1t Is taking the ma nu =
facturers' census, which will show the
condition of manufacturing In this coun-
try in the middle Of the ten-year period
between the last general census Of 1910
and the next general census Of 1920.
The showing as to the condition Of
manufacturing in this country in 1915
is expected to be extremely interesting,
to indicate marked progress since 1910,
and to disclose that regardless Of some
depression last year and early in the
present year, the showing. on the whole.
is satisfactory
1t is the purpose Of the Department of
Commerce TO get the information out
as quickly as possible. Ordinarily, the
results of the manufacturers census are
published in a single huge volume,
which does not make It's appearance for
two or three years after the collection
of data. The information has been
issued too late to be of much beneit ex-
cept to statistical students.
Under the new plan the results OF
the census in each State will be pub
lished as rapidly as they can be oollat-
The Washington times., 1915-06-18

ed. After that, the results for the
whole country will be assembled and
published in the least possible time.
over a thousand men are at work on
the manufacturers census. Most of
them are In the field. Collection OF data
has been going on for several months.
Early next fall IT is believed 1t will be
possible to begin putting out figures for
some States. BY next March, It is
hoped that It will be possible to issue
a bulletin showing the facts for the
country as a whole.
Census Bureau officials say the new
census promises to be more than usual
ly complete and satisfactory. One
son for this Is that the nnanufac-
turers have shown a disposition to help
the Government get the facts. Another
is that the Census Bureau has had the
services OF a large number Of employees
who are eXperienced in censue work.
