The Cynical Suitor.

DR.. Henry Moskowitz, commissioner
of public markets, said in an address
In New York the other day:
"a cynical and self-seeking spirit
prevailed in buying and selling when
the war began, but this spirit is being
fast supplanted by generous spirit of
cooperation and fraternity.
"The cynical spirit, now happily on
the wane, was like that of the aged
banker, who said to a friend:
ayes, expect to marry one of the
proudest and most beautiful girls. in
New York. You see, young suitor
sings to his sweetheart, Love me-and
the world is mine But I've got bet
ter method, by lingo. l sing, Love me
and the world is thine" I'm bound
to win out, don't you think so,
George?"

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"our boys must have their
smokes. Send them cigarettesi"
This Is a familiar appeal now to
all Of us.
Among those most In demand 10
the now famous toasted ciga-
rette-LUCKY STRIKE. Thou
sands Of this favorite brand have
been shipped to France. There
is something homelike and friend-
ly to the boys in the sight Of the
familiar green packages with the
red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quail
fly of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga-
rette is largely due to the fact
that the Burley tobacco used In
making 1t has been toasted. 'It's
toasted" was the slogan" that
made great success Of LUCKY
STRIKE In less than a year. Now
the American Tobacco Co. is maxi
ing 15 million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes day.
A good part Of this immense
production is making its way
across the water to cheer our
boys.-Adv.

The Hoover Instinct.

He was four years old and was sent
TO the grovery to get can Of beans
for the Monday lunch. The youngster
was fond of this dish and after the can
was opened and the contents emptied
into dish took particular pains to
place the beans near his plate. He
soon had helped himself to a fair por-
tion and just as soon had eaten 1t. He
helped himself the second time and
had just finished the third helping
when his father, seeing what he was
doing, suddenly said:
"Son, are you not going to eat any
thing with your beans?" And the lad
quietly remarked: "Yes, pass the salt
and pepper"

NO ACTION TAKEN ON
 GROCERY DELIVERIES
Only 30 of the 230 Have Signed Reso- lutions Proposed at Chamber
 of Commerce Meeting.

No definite action was taken at the men held yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock for the purpose of making ar arrangements for carrying out the meas ures proposed by the State Council of Defense recently, governing the de- livery of goods credit system, etc It was found that the committee com posed of five grocers, appointed at the meeting held last Wednesday, evening" was much too small to communicate successfully with all grocers and marketmen in this city. and it was decided that each member choose three more members making a com- mittee of 20 instead of five. This en- larged committee will meet in the chamber of commerce rooms next Monday afternoon at o'clock, when further action will be taken and the matter explained more clearly to the new members.
 There are about 230 grocerymen and marketmen in this city. So far, only 30 have signed the set of reso- lutions recommended by the commit tee, and an effort is to be made to have every dealer of groceries and

 It is the plan to restrict deliveries of goods to one a day over any one route, to eliminate special deliveries and restrict their privilege of retain ing merchandise to not more than one day, and to organize cooperative de- liVeries wherever possible. The grocers also plan not to deliver less than one dollars worth of goods to any one family.

"I know I ought to take treatm ent; I have been running down for the last year or two. 1 am all Jagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether l am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work I used to do some years ago.

 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let mo tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity Is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends moro than his interest.
 Should he begin to draW on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 i You allow your health to run down more and more: therefore, you can- not work and earn what you used to-. Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital-Which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all } your heart and soul in your work. These happy days are gone. You now barely make d living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents wffat you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but Aon't is an actual expense to you. b xOu spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety, despOndency, want and deprivation for your family. @ The dollar you take out of your @ @pocket and spend for treatment with \ an experienced specialist is not an A expense.
