Advantages Of Package Goods.

Extracts from an address by H. l..
Smith, at the annual convention of
retail grocers held in Chicago. in
May:
There are four important economic
reasons for packing food products in
small containers for the household. These
four reasons briefly stated are:
1st--The conservation of health through
the sanitary superiority of package foods.
2nd-The conservation of food by reason
OF increased keeping qualities OF pack
age foods.
Srd--The conservation of time both in
store and home through greater convent
ence of package goods.
4th-Tlle conservation of wealth through
the cconom of package foods.
That package foods are superior to
bulk foods from the standpoint of santa
ton cannot be disputed.
Because he does not need to weigh n
pack them. the grocer is enabled to
handle a stock of package goods and
wait on his customers with a minimum
outlay of time and labor. therefore in
creasing the man power of the country
an important economic achievement. The
grocer handling package goods is able to
carry smaller stocks which are more
easily accessible and require less time to
reach and Observation-Disclosures increasing
1 StS IidII OMCi
The use of package goods does much to
prevent food boarding by the householder,
an object much TO be desired in these
times.
Package Goods.
No loss by waste through splitting in
handling package goods.
Package food containers are designed to
protect the contents from spoilage by
moisture and contamination from proX-
Unity to other goods during t~ransporta-
ton or handling.
Economical because less wasteful from
kitchen to table. Accurate directions for
cooking and serving package goods are
usually given m the containers SO there
will be no loss through cooking larger
amounts than arc needed for immediate
consumption.
Substitution by dishonest dealers not
possible when Individual containers under
manufacturers brand go to consumers.
Quality assured to purchaser through
label of malie on Individual package.
The original flavor and freshness OF
package goods Is retained until served,
making them more palatable and health
full h bulk goods.
Can be delivered to consumer without
further wrapping.

KING GEORGE GIVEN
SLAP ON THE BACK

London (by maiD-King George has
met the real, made-in-Ohio democratic
spirit.
A hearty slap or the royal shoulder,
delivered by Capt. w. Mack, Cincinnati.
agent of the United States Insurance
board, brought home to the king the
kind of democratic spirit that is Gus
tomary among the Americans.
1t happened when Captain Mack was
formally introduced to the king and
queen by Sir Henry Fowler. at Guild
hall. As a booster for his war insur-
ance, the e~nterprising American inn
mediately asked their majesties for
their signatures, to encourage American
soldiers in England to sign also. He
accompanied his request to the king
with a we'll meant, though informal,
slap on the shoulder.
The queen protested that she had no
table at hand.
Soon remedied, your majesty" Mack
replied. Bend down. sergeant"
And placing the paper on the back Of
q sergeant the queen wrote her sigma
ture.
When it came to the kings turn,
Mack's fountain e vas leaky, and he
borrowed a ~sergeant's. This was dry,
and Sir Henry then offered his pen and
MS back, and the king used both.
Mack showed his American enter
prise, following his introduction to the
king and queen. when he went to an
American camp. and waving the auto
graphs at the soldiers, said:
LOOK at this. boys. I've just got the
signature OF the king and queen. Now
I want yours!" and all signed up.
Mack has sold 81. 500. 900 wal insure
ance for the government.

Adopting England's Plan.

Something new for America in the application of power has been
launched i'm Philadelphia. Instead of transporting coal to the city
for the creation of electric power, as heretofore, the plan now is to
generate the power near the mines and transport the electric current.
This experiment is a result OF traffic congestion, but it has every
appearance of being applicable to normal conditions. The economic
possibilities stand out so clear that it is a wonder the idea was left
to England and war to discover.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says of the experiment:
probably will be financed by the federal government and definite
plans are to b. drawn at a meeting in this city of experts from New
York, New Jersey I'd Pennsylvania
The railroads will be greatly relieved n millions of ons of COAL

radu of the transmission system, which mas lot yet been fully deter
mined upon. 1t is planned % link the system Up to New Yorka d
other vital centHs. Not only will this benefit the great industrial
plants. but srnaler anufacure alsom may obtaint heirp power from the
same source.
Under the proposed new system the mines near Boone, La, could
provide sufficient electric power for all OF the principal cities i'm the
northern part OF the state at a cost far below that involved in trans
porting coal to the various localities. On a smaller scale, the city of
Des Molnes could locate its electric power plant close to the mines in
that section and save huge sums. The vast economies possible are
only touched upon IN the cut on transportation. Experts say the
fuel cost will really be a source of profit--that what is now ''mine
waste, understandable slack, etc, at the mine's mouth, which must
be hauled out OF the way, can be utilized as the fuel for the produc-
ton of all the current needed.

Minimum Of Amputation..

Maj. c. L. Gibson, NJ. r. c., in S%cribner's.
Under improved conditions of the treat
ment of wounds of the extremities and
the minimizing Of infections. amputations
are comparatively rare nowadays. It is
a comforting fact that hand In hand
with the diminution In the number of
amputations. the quality and usefulness
Of artificial limbs nave greatly increased.
1 hin 1t is fair to say that in America
we manufacture the best types of arti-
ctcial limbs. They are in great demand
In Europe. We make a wonderful artificial
arm which has been a revelation to
European surgeons. Unfortunately. it Is
quite expensive, but doubtless American
generosity will see hat no soldier who
an use one to advantage fails to obtain
one.
As . result of grouping together a large
number OF cases of amputations, as In the
Maison Blanche. just outside Of Paris,
opportunities have been given to study
factory stumps. From this experience Gin
civil practice the opportunities for study
of this subject are very few better and
surer methods OF performing operations
with . view to future usefulness have
been devised. A great Improvement also
Is the recognition that q stump. like any

n It is essential for . patient to begin
