All Costs Kept Down

D UT the cost-reducing influence goes farther still
- Just as selling fruits and vegetables keeps down
the cost of meats so does selling the two together
keep down the cost of the fruits and vegetables. And
thereby, Armour can sell the highest quality at Or
dinary prices
Moreover, because test OF one proves the quality
Of all these products offered under single mark
the famous Oval Label-they sell almost automatic
ally for the dealer and permit him to hold his prices
down to fair figures.
Thus, when you insist upon Armour Oval Label
Products, you share in these eeonomies-and make
it possible to pay maximum prices to the producer
and still keep prices lower to the consumer.

ALL AMERICAN
SOLDIERS NUMBERED
BY THE U. s.

WASHINGTON, March i9.-Every AM
crican soldier at home or abroad now
has a number as well as a name. Blocks
Of numbers have been assigned 10 every
division. TO 2ershing's army, and to
every little special detachment
The work Of transferring these num-
bers from the records OF the company
clerks and other field officers and ac-
countants TO the records kept at Wash
ington on every soldier is another big
war job.
Over a million and a half jackets con-
tanning enlistment papers Of soldiers
must be given the numbers applied to
the men in field and camp and a card
index Of the men and their numbers,
must be arranged in alphabetical order
The system will prevent confusion in
records, and possibly assist in identify
ing the dead.
Every man in the army already has
an aluminium disk which he is supposed
to wear about his neck This bears on
il his name and his company and regl-
ment. These names are stenciled on the
tags by tfe company artitlcer or clerk
The tags are about The size OF a half dol
lar. Besides these tags. the finger print
OF every soldier is on file in Washing
ton.
But no system Of identification seems
TO work perfectly, as the experience
with the Tuscania victims has shown
A man may take his tag off or lose it
Even finger prints are useless if a
mans fingers are crushed or blown of
When finger prints can be taken it some
times takes long to match them with
Washington records.

to individual sugar savings:
Keep to one lump of sugar for a
