FAMINE AND PESTILENCE
TOLD OF IN CRYPT0GRAM
Bible Citations on Postal Gard Pass
Censor and Tell Of Condi-
tions in Turkey.

NEW YORK, July 21.--A cryptic mes
sage. by. which an American missionary
nurse In Turkey got information of
famine and pestilence past the Turkish
censor, is described in a bulletin issued
today by the American board of commits
sioners for foreign missions.
The message written on the post card
follows:
I'VE shall very soon have to test the
first part of the twentieth verse of the
fifth chapter of Job, and. still sooner,
even now, of the last of Psalm 91:3.
What a blessing to have a God who is
true and able. Lots of love to you all.
DR.. Hamlin's famous mixture in demand
here"
The first part of the twentieth verse of
the fifth chapter of Job reads: "In famine
He shall redeem thee from death"
The last part of the third verse of the
ninety first Psalm follows the expression:
For He shall deliver thee from the
snare of the fowler" and it is added.
land from the noisome pestilence."
The mixture referred to is q medicine
used in cholera cases. The board of
commissioners interprets. the reference to
the mixture to mean that cholera is rag
ing in that part of Turkey.
The board refers to the message as one
"of yelled allusions-veiled to the CEN
sors, but clear to u.s."

CREDIT BUSINESS.
The Increase of Credit Business
Takes Lot of Capital to
Finance Business.

A grocer was talking the other
day about the difficulties and expen-
ses of his business. He said his
losses from bad credits are not at all
serious He had on his books al the
present time but two customers
whose accounts he was unlikely to
collect. They were of the kind that
decamp over night, and find it cheap
er to move than pay rem. or trades
mems bills.
He said tina. the increasing ten
dency of the public to do business
on credit is a far more serious prob
lem. The number of people who
come to his store and pay cash and
carry the stuff away, is declining.
The great bulk of his trade runs up
bills that are paid once III enc, two,
three or more months. It takes q
growing amount of CAPT al to finance
all this business At the end Of a
month he often finds it serious
matter to tide over his obligations
until the next months payments be
gin to come in.
This involves a heavy charge for
in crest on loans. No longer can he
do business on his own capital, but
he must call on the Lanks or others

for assistance. 1t is part of the
expense of running his business. His
competitors he believed, must also
depend largely on borrowed re-
sources. He believed that the conse-
quence is that interes. is a large fac
tor in the cost of running grocery
business today, and must be charged
to the consumer just as much as
clerk hire or taxes
He thinks this custom is augment
ed in part by the increase of tele-
phones and telephone orders. This
necessitates more delivery teams or
at least more time spent in driving
around with teams The woman with
the market basket has almost disap-
poared, while the telephone is kept
humming with orders to be carried
to the homes. 1t is a condition that
seems to exist about everywhere,
and is Zig factor in the cost of liv
ing.
If the public wants to cut the cost
CT living, he said, il must get over
this idea of buying on credit, and
must save the tradesman the inter-
est charges which he nov has to add
to cost OF lis goods.
