PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner
THE difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
My husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be.
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
we are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts, | was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So l urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to.

RIGID LAWS.

Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs have passed
rigid laws regarding automobiles. One town IN
the state has raised all street crossings six inches
in order to prevent fast riding. These precautions
are becoming so necessary that in a few years
the public highways will be built to prevent speed
inc. The automobile drivers are responsible for
these restrictions; not all of them are reckless
but enough to endanger life to such an extent
that measures will have to be taken to prevent
accident. The public has been long-suftering;
juries acquit those who carelessly kill or MAIN
pedestrians, and the recklessness continues, says
the Port Gibson Reveille. We believe an asso-
citation Of auto owners, which endeavor to bring
to justice every reckless driver, would do much
to stem the growing determination to protect the
public even to the extent, if necessary, OF de-
stroying the usefulness of this great machine.

ARE HIGH PRICES SPECULATIVE!

There seems to be considerable difference of
opinion as to whether or not the high prices in
vogue are really speculative. Some manufac-
turers are conceding that the advance in produc-
ton costs has not been sufficient to account for
the rise of the finished product. The proof Of
this, in the opinion of an authority, is in the fact
that the net earnings of the mills have been
larger.
Whatever increases there are in production
costs are usually expressed in percentages, which
are apt to be misleading. An increase Of rs per
cent. in wages or Of 100 per cent. in the price of
dyes does not mean very much when translated
into additional cost per yard of the finished fabric.
The same is tire of the higher prices being paid
Tor raw materials.
There is evidence, however, that quite a bit
Of the advances in various textile goods is due
to an over-demand, which has caused mills and
their agents to raise prices on goods when they
could not supply them. 1t was asserted that the
export trade would pay the price, and therefore,
tie home buyer had to pay higher in order to be
assured of delivery. By these means the retailers
of the country have been induced to order more
than their immediate needs, thus running up the
price of the goods upon themselves. Whether
this has occurred to any difficult to determine,
but we know of several instances where the fact
is true.
Good business everywhere is rejecting the
prosperity of the country. The retailers have
kept large supplies on hand in order to meet the
needs of their customers, who up to this time,
have not shown an unwillingness to pay the prices
asked. Whether they will continue to act as they
have is q problem which each retailer must con-
slider for himself in accordance with out condi-
tons. Once there is a sign that the high prices
are curtailing or restricting sales the danger sig
nal will have to be run up.
