1t Is an accepted business maxim
that IF the steel business Is good, all
other lines are good" and the truth
Of this maxim Is again being demon
strated, Notwithstanding the fact that
the present activity and prosperity in
steel and allied business is, in part
at least, due to abnormal conditions.
But the important fact is that the
steel business is good and will con-
tinue good for several years, even
though peace should come tomorrow
and nearly all other lines of business
are responding nobly. The market on
steel is not dependent on the war; 1t
Is essentially an industrial market for
peaceful purposes, and 1t is pretty GER
tain to continue active for several
years after peace is declared.

Pierce who discovered new agent,

American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trou
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble. bladder weakness and a gen.
eral decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps Of

The startling statement is made b

The startling statement is made by
an authority who has given careful in
vestigation that, Of nearly 700,000,0o0
pounds of coffee imported annually in
to the United States, 62 per cent
reaches the consumer through the me-
dunn Of peddling concerns and special
ty houses. That leaves less than 40
per cent of the business for the retail
grocer. Is 1t not time to give the coffee
department your serious considera-
ton? On the Pacific Coast these fac
tors are just establishing themselves
in a comprehensive way. 1t Is a big
ger problem to get this business back
once 1t Is lost, than to hold 1t by TAX
ing the initiative and employing ag'
gressive and effective methods. Don't
wait until the fight Is brought to you.
Preparedness Is most assuredly vital
issue with the retail grocer.
