To Advertisers and Those Who Do Not
Read the Advertisements

Under the head Of "a Dollar Saved
is a Dollar Earned" the Arlington
Times last week submitted some thots
to its advertisers, and suggestions to
those who fail to keep up with store
events because they do not read the
local newspapers, that may not be out
OF place in this town. Read the fol-
lowing:
THE housewives OF Arlington should
learn to watch for special prices offered
by our merchants. By so doing they
will not only find opportunities to
economic but will also encourage
dealers to offer bargains as trade accel-
orators. On the other hand, if buyers
are so Indifferent to prices or so poorly
posted on current markets that they
pass up actual bargain offers, mer-
chants conclude that they had just as
we'll hold to their regular prices.
We know it to be a fact that in the
cities women watch store announce
ments carefully and when real in
ducement is offered they quickly take
advantage Of it, thus reducing the cost
of living and helping the breadwinner
of the family--for a dollar saved is as
good as dollar earned.
Now, to test this out, look over the
announcements OF our merchants in
this issue OF the Times. We have no.
ticed, in handling the copy, special
prices on both staple dry goods and
table necessities.
If you see special offer and do not
know the regular price, ascertain it and
then compute the saving. If you can
save even 25 or so cents by buying a
staple article at a given time you have
earned just that much.
In these days Of high prices women
(and men too) need to be posted on
the market-that is, good shoppers.

Food Value of Oranges

for immediate assimilation and requiring
no digestion. 1t does not need to pass
through the digestive organs except for the
purpose of dilution. THUS, orange sugar,
consisting of levulose and deXtrose, is
capable of being Immediately assimilated
by the body cells and, in a purified state,
would be perfectly assimilated If injected
into the blood in proper quantities.
1t is TO the sugar which 1t contains that
the orange owes it's chief value as source
of nutriment, although it contains in ad-
dition to the sugars or soluble carbohy-
drates, nearly 1 per cent Of protein. The
combined value of it's food constituents
amounts to 24O calories, or food units, per
pint--a value which will be best appre=

foodstuffs a pint of buttermilk, for eX-

fourth less than orange juice. This state

Harold MacGrath adventures into a new

His William Grogan is a typical New York

him, keen mentally, shrewd in his outlook,

knew hunger cold and the rude buffets OF
the world. He has the Irish desire TO
move UP in the world and from an urchin

A GIRL WITH A
TEMPERAMENT
Nance Molloy, Alice Hogan Rice's
Newest Heroine, Worth Get
ting Acquainted With

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to pre-
sent Nance Molloy, a girl with a tempera-
ment," might very well be printed on the
title page Of Alice Hogan Rices latest novel,
Calvary Alley" Nance was born in the
same social circle as the people in Mrs.
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch" Mrs. Rice
makes her interesting, along with the rest
Of the humble folk who move through her
pages, because she has discovered that the
things that make men alike in the world are
stronger than the things that make them
different. Herein is the whole secret of
Mrs RIces popularity. She has grasped
the fact that I'VE are all folks" and that
It is folks who are interesting, it matters
not whether they be rich or poor What
ever may have been her original intent In
writing, she has made 1t evident in Gal
vary Alley" that she has deliberately set
out to preach democracy.
The story deals with the life and adven-
lures of a girl born in a squald alley in
the rear Of Calvary Cathedral, in a southern
city. Her mother died and her father mar
ried again. Then her father died and her
stepmother took a second husband, so that
when the story opens she is what she de-
scribes as a "two-step." Because condi-
tions in her home were bad, she is sent to
a State home for girls. where she remains
three or four years. The home is intelli-
gently managed, and Nance improves under
the discipline. As Mrs Rice remarks, "It
was the first time she had ever been tempted
TO be good and she fell" Later she works
in a glass factory, is a companion to a
deaf old woman, has a brief experience on
the stage qualities as stenographer and
gets a Job and finally becomes a trained
nurse Her temperament makes her inter
esting from first to last and the inherent
goodness of her nature keeps her straight
when the influences Of her surroundings
tend to drag her down.
The story is entertaining because of Mrs
Rice's fine gift of humor and because OF
her skill in drawing character. Those who
care to read between the lines will find
II a most subtle arraignment of social con.
ditlons against which the very poor find
II difficult TO fight. While the book is not
literature of the highest type-measured
bv the best standards it is faulty, indeed
II Is so much better than the average popu,
lar novel that those who read it need ne
anologize to the highbrows for liking 1t.

pertinent with various occupations uhtlI no

miscellaneous information about difterent
occupations which WIN be useful to him
during the rest of his life. In bTlet, ne
would have all young men after IeaNins
school take q postgraduate course III the

Maxwell addresses himself particularly
to young men between twenty-one ana
thirty-one. He reminds them that the spe-
clalist has been developed to such an extent
that the supply Of all-round business men
Is in danger Of running short. He recalls
to their attention the fact that the great
employers of the present are not ana never
were specialists. They hire the specialist,
and the specialist remains a salaried man.
The great employers of the future must be
mon of the same type as the great employ
ers Of today They must have an all-round
knowledge Of business. The young man
who would fll this role must not confne
himself to a single phase of his business
or trade. He must not confne his reading
to the newspapers and fiction magazines,
but must read history and philosophy, his
tory to know what has been done, and phi
losophy TO sharpen his wits by disagreeing
with the conclusions Of the philosophers.
The book is written in a direct and simple
style and with so much magnetism that II
is difficult TO stop reading It after one gets
started. As an example of a compact
nervous style it is worthy the attention
of the teachers Of English in the colleges.
And as a handbook for the ambitious young
man it is worth its weight in gold.

reason dulled by compromise between many
conflicting viewpoints" Lucian Osborne,
professor OF physics, used to tell his college
classes n generation ago that law is
mode Of action. If these two definitions are
combined one will get in few words what
Maxwell has tried to say in one OF the
best books of advice to young men and old
ones that has appeared in many day. He
sets forth his views on law in the course OF
a discussion OF what he would do II he were
twenty-one and were planning his career
over again. Every business man ought 10
study law, not for the knowledge he would
gain Of what is legal and what is not, but
because law is the expression of public
opinion. There is nothing so important for
a business man 70 know as the state OF
mind Of his generation That Is epitomlzed
nowhere so well as in the statutes. Pro-
fessor Osborne's view of law as mode OF
action finds unconscious expression through
out the whole Of MaXwells book The
laws Of the mind and the laws of business
are merely Foundations of the way In which
the mind acts upon itself and reacts upon
the course of conduct.
The whole book is devoted 10 a discussion
Of the different ways In which man. may
find out what are the laws in accordance
with which men act and how 10 conform
his course to them. The chapter headings
suggest the different angles from which
he approaches the subject Some OF ,hcm
are: "If I started again." Finding your
place I'm life" "Self-esteem and self-conf-
dence" Getting n job" Handling men,
and "Writing a business letter" Ris views
regarding finding your place in life differ
from those commonly held. although they
conform to the practice Of many successful
men--a practice forced upon them not by
choice, but from necessity. Mr.. Maxwell
