RETAILERS TAKE NOTICE

UNCLE SAM WILL GET YOU

D. R Coker, food administrator, has
received a telegram from the food adj
,ninistration, Washington. of which the
following is an extract:
Statute expressly forbids contracts

ity in excess of purchasers reason
able requirements This is to be de-
termined according to custom in nor
NAL times and general practice or
other persons similarly situated.
Dealers should not sell to persons who
are buying beyond their reasonable re-
ouirements. Twelve cents is far too
much for retailers to charge for su-
gar. Their action constitutes viola
ton of section 4 whether they are il
censed or not. We can not fix to
cents or any other price in terms OF,
figures, but no retailer should obtain
more profit than he has normally en-
jcyed or sugar without benefit specu-
lative advances. Please warn all
wholesalers that they must not sell
20 retailers who are sans violating
.,w. See general rule II.
Section reads as follows: ''The Ii
censes shall sell sugar at not more
than reasonable advance over the
actual purchase price of the particu-.
lar goods sold without regard to the
market or replacement value at the
time of such sale
General rule l. reads as follows:
*The licenspe shall not knowingly sell
any food commodities to any person
engaged in the business Of selling
such commodity, who shall. after this
regulation goes into effect violate the
provisions Of the act Of congress ap-
proved August 10. 1917. by making any
unreasonable rate or charge in sell

How Liggett Sells His Goods

Louis X. Liggett, Of the Llggett
Drug Stores, has written an article Tor
4ba December American Magazine in
which he says:
owe have given a great deal OF
thought to the item of color alone, to
find what kind of ribbon on canoy
boxes. for instance. and what color In
various other wrappings will attract
the largest number of buyers. In SELL
ing candy we have to keep it constant
" in mind. too, that while women are
the candy eaters, men are apt to he the
candy buyers-especialiy when IL
comes to the ,higher-priced goods
They buy for gift purposes. And a
man will, of course, pay more for a
box of candy to take to his sweetheart
than she would pay if she were buying
it for herself.

have what might be called suggestive
grouping of articles. When man

like-in the same case. or near by,
where his eye may easily take note OF

is reminded of the fact and, perhaps,
asks for them. Our clerks are in
structed to make tactful suggestions
about other articles the customer
might need. but are careful not to

Keeping Out the Heat.

When the Bedouins of the desert 20
on u caravan journey in the heat of
the summer, they wrap themselves up
IN their WOODEN clOaks so as to be fully,
but not tightly developed. Then they
wrap the ends of their kaffiah, or head
dress, loosely around their faces, leav-
Ing only their eyes and nose exposed.
They say that the covering keeps out
the heat. Henry Martyr, the first
modern missionary TO the Moslems,
followed their example. When he was
travelling through Persia on his way
back 80 the home in England that he
never ranched, he encountered tenn
perature OF 100 degrees In the shade,
so he wrapped himself UP in his
blanket. The practice of covering up
the chin and mouth Is most excellent.
The sands of the desert reflect like a
metal mirror the heat and glare Of the
blazing sun. Something must be done
for protection against the heat under
foot as well as the heat over head.

SCRUPLES ON MEAT AND DAYS
Two Questions Over Which the Early
Christians Found Themselves In
Differing Attitudes.

In Paul's day there was the ques-
ton of meat offered to idols. Much
of the market product was of this
character; II had been used In sacri-
fice to the pagan gods. Was 1t. there
fore. tainted with heathenism? Might
n Christian eat 1t? II he did, might
he not be accused of participating in
the idolatrous ceremonies? To Paul
himself an idol was nothing; the serv-
ices did nothing to the meat he could
eat 1t without question, and so advised
his Corinthian friends. Yet he recog-
nized special cases where he and
others would abstain because of the
law of love and the conscientious
scruples Of another.
The other vexed question arose over
the gradual substitution OF Sunday
for Saturday, rs the Sabbath rest
day. The Lords day, the day of
resurrection, the first day, became the
generally accepted Christian Sabbath
Some Jewish Christians felt this to
be very wrong, and indeed there are
fine, stalwart Christians today who
feel rs they did. But the great ma
5ority took the view that the leading
of the spirit warranted the departure
from the letter.-The Christian Her

for. the opera.
The opera was first presented un-
der the direction of Savage. on of
Americas greatest producers. 1t Is
one of the very few comic operas
he has presented. His works are
mostly grand opera and dramas.
The fact that Mr.. Savage chose this
opera to represent his comic opera is
sufficient evidence of its excellent
type.
