percentage of overhead, executive, ac-
counting and selling expenses. 1t is
the only safe way to conduct a bust
ness. To reduce your overhead per
unit of sales by handling a large vol
ume Of goods, on part of which you
are losing money, is not good bust
ness practice.
This method Of doing business
causes competitors to fail. particular
ly small merchants, who have to COM
pete with those who are making a
substantial percentage of profit on
part of their line and are competing
unfairly with another line by cutting
and demoralizing prices.
Each article should bear it's pro-
portionate expense and yield a rea.
sonable profit. The enormous finan-
cial death rate of retail merchants
shows the necessity for something
helpful to this large class of our bust
ness men. Competition in merchan-
dising is becoming more and more
keen. Practically no retailer can re-
main in business for long time If
his business Is not conducted eff

MINING NOTES

Gas from the Iveson well, rs miles
southeast from Quincy, Wash, proves
to be pure hydrogen gas with gaso-
line base. A sample of the gas was
submitted to chemist, whose analy.
sis has been received. A sample was
also sent to the University of Wash.
ington. The report from it stated
that it is natural gas of good quality.
The first copies Of the complete
annual report for 1916 of the Hon.
Lorne A. Campbell, minister of mines
of British Columbia, were received
Saturday. 1t includes all the usual
features and statistics, which have
already been published in the form of
a bulletin, and in addition many val
liable reports from Assistant Pro-
vincial Mineralogist j. d. Galloway
on various sections of the province
The latter include detailed descrip-
tions of many mines.
There were no notable changes in
metal quotations toward the end Of
last week. Silver maintained it's ad.
vance firmly. Copper was stronger
on reports Of large export orders
from the allies, which are believed
to be large enough in volume to main
tain the recent level of prices. Lead
was inclined to show weakness, the
Canadian quotation, which is based
on the lower quotation either at St.
Louis or New York, having been
reduced to $3.50 on the basis of $5.95
in New York and $5.72A in st. Louis.

A news item says: A net gain in
postal savings deposits amounting to
more than $3,S00,000 was made in June.
This was four times as much as the
gain in June, 1915. At the end of the
month there were about 100000 depos-
itors, with $S6,O00,00O of deposits De-
posits were being accepted at 1901
postofflces in the United States, Alaska,
Porto Rico and Hawaii. The New
York, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Pitts
burgh, San Francisco and Portland,
Ore, offices all have deposits in excess
Of $1,000,000 each. A pretty healthy
increase since the postof1ice department
put over its plan to raise the deposit
limit. 1t would have been much less
had the merchants received their full
share.

War Pictures.

In most war photographs, even
those taken under fire, the soldiers,
it will be noticed, have q smile or at
least a friendly glance for the cam.
era man, however tragic their sur
roundings. The activities of the pho
tographers, who have been modified
in such force in the great European
war, come as welcome relief in the
hardships and perlls Of the soldiers
life. The photographer Is usually a
commissioned officer, and becomes a
recognized part of the great military
organizations. Their achievements In
accommodating and scouting and a
hundred other valuable activities are
to be described by Francis Arnold
Collins in an article on "The Camera
Man." announced for the August st
Nicholas.

"ANURIC!" THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY.

This is recent discovery of DR.. Pierce,
who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y.
Experiments at DR.. Pierces Hospital
for several years proved that there is
no other eliminator of uric acid that can
be compared to it. For those easily
recognized symptoms of Inflammation
as backache, scalding urine and frequent
urination, as well as sediment in the
urine, or if uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful
how surely "Anuric" acts. The best of
results are always obtained in cases of
acute rheumatism in the Joints, in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rapidly
disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply. ask for 50-cent package of
or even send DR.. Pierce 10 cents for a
large trial package. Ii you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
TOMS Doctor Pierces chemist will ex-
anime it, then Dr. Pierce will report to
you, without fee or charge.
NoTE.-French scientists affirm that
"Anuric" is thirty-seven times more
active than ithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to the children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish
to restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases-as "Anuric"
(thanks to DR.. Pierce's achievement) is
by far the most perfect kidney and bladder
corrector obtainable.

In the long run we get pretty close
to our deserts. OF course there are
a whole lot Of people whose merits
are apparently unappreciated, whose
abilities are moderated, or who fall
short of the success achieved by 9th
ers who have seemingly less of real
worth, but IL you dig right down into
the real underlying causes, you will
usually find that the reason Is to be
found in the individual, rather than
in the preversity Of fate. 1t may be
laziness; 1t may be selflshness; 1t
may be ill-directed effort, but you can

Seek Test of Federal Oath.

Misunderstanding Baker, At
torney General Gregory and Judge
Advocate General Gregory and Ju lge
Advocate General Crowder have de-
cided that the action Of the federal
court in Boston in ordering the re-
lease of a Massachusetts guardsman
in camp at birmingham, after he re-
fused to take the new federal oath,
was of such far-reaching consequence
that an effort would be made to have
the government appeal expedited to
the circuit court of appeals and ulti-
mately to the supreme court.
AS consequence of the decision
four other guardsmen of a Massa-
chusetts regiment have applied for
writs of habeas corpus to secure their
release from military service.

American Aviator In Allies Army.

Paris.-G. Fufbery of New Haven,
Conn.,, is the American aviator who
was mentioned in the official French
announcement recently for having
brought down a German aeroplane in
side the French lines south of Dou-
aumont. He was flying at a height
of 10000 feet toward the German
lines when he perceived 5000 feet be-
low him a German aeroplane moving
toward the French. He planed swift
ly down, working his machine gun at
the same time, as he was alone in
the aeroplane. The German machine
was hit repeatedly and fell In flames.
Lufbery landed safely. 1t was his

No Watermelon for Army Boys.

No Watermelon for Army Boys.
Ell Paso, Texas.-Gloom spread
over the army camps here Monday
with the news that watermelons have
been banned by the authorities.
The army fly expert is behind the
order, which is applied to all camps
along the border. He has discov-
cred that the watermelon rind is the
only kind of garbage that can not be
properly disposed of. It can not be
burned or effectively buried. The
result is that watermelon peel is the
cause of the present fly pest and
flies, says the expert, breed disease.
