herself True Blue" would con-
script all women slackers and
says in her letter Another has
taken up Science and said she
didn't believe in war"
While the words, has taken
up Science" are somewhat in
definite in their meaning, your
readers would probably infer
that Christian Science Is what
is meant, and those readers who
are not informed on the sub
ject would get the impression
that Christian Scientists are
opposed to the war.
There probably is no other
organization whose members
are more loyal citizens than are
the members of the Christian
Science church. And Christian
Scientists are heartily support
ing every worthy cause that
will help win the war.
There eventually are those
however who claim to be Chris
tian Scientists who make that
an excuse for not supporting
the government in this war, but
the Christian Science organiza-
ton extends no sympathy to
those who resort to this subter-
fuge.
True Blue" should refer her
NH hA
lieve in war to Mrs. Eddy's
words in Miscellany. page 277,
But IL our nations rights, or
honor, were seized, every citizen
would be a soldier and woman
would be armed with power grit
for the hour" These words
sound forth like a clarion call
and every consistent follower of
Christian Science teaching is a
soldier, armed with power
grit for the hour" and might
also sign the pseudonym True
Blue"

Dear Miss Grey: They say
they are going to make every
man who is idle or not doing
industrial work go to work.
Well, IL so, what is the mat
ter with these fellows who run
soft drink establishments, ex-
saloOnmen or bartenders, or
gamblers standing there as
usual with a white shirt and
apron waiting for some hard
working man to come in and
spend his money? Do you call
that industrial work? | say let
them take off their white shirts
and aprons and grab a ham,
mer, saw or chisel, pick or
shovel and find out what is
meant by good, hard days
work.
You go into the soft drink
places and there you find games
OF various sorts. most any kind
of game to get you and make
you spend your money. There
you will find three or four
young huskies waiting on table
and calling out one more vacant
chair for good stud poker
player or draw or dice shaker,
or a vacancy at a pool table.
Don't you think the noise of
tools, the humming of a riveter
on a ship or a boiler would be
more beneficial for them and
their country?

consumption OF flour In this country
Is one barrel per person in normal
times. There are about 10000. 900
people in the United States, and the
saving effected by the United States
Food Administration has been about
20 per cent. Now. if it has managed

DISCOUNT FOR CASH
A PROVEN SUCCESS
Local Merchants Always Willing
to Adopt a Selling Plan Where
by They Will Receive Full Co.
operation From Consumers of
Their Own Community.

Copyrighted 1918 by Paul W. Debbs,
OF Chicago, Ill.)
While your business may differ in
some respects from that of other re-
tail merchants, nevertheless there are
some things that are equally true of
the business of other retailers. There
is no one subject that is given more
prominence in the magazines of to-
day, or that is occupying the minds of
many of our business men throughout
the country, and one that effects all
classes of people, than that of Keep
ing Up with Rising Costs"
Any suggestion or plan that would
directly benefit the consumer and help
him solve this problem should at once
interest every fair minded man or
woman.
Every merchant who is carrying
thousands of dollars on his books
not one dollar of which is drawing in
terest-and constant advance in the
wholesale cost of his goods staring
him in the face, must arrive at one or
two conclusions: Either he must ad-
vance the retail price of his own goods
sufficiently to meet the rise in whole
sale costs and to take care of the eX-
cessiye cost of carrying this volume
of credit business, or he must devise
some plan or method by which he is
able to increase the volume of his
cash business and reduce his credit
accounts.
l spoke of the cost of carrying book
accounts. Few people realize that it
costs the merchant percent per an
mum on all unpaid accounts after
thirty days until they are paid. Let
MS suppose, for instance. that mer.
chants credits amount to $5,000,00
While this amount will tluctuate more
or less, and old accounts will be paid,
new ones will be started which will
keep the volume of his credit business
about the same throughout the year.
Now this So, 10000 in book accounts is
costing the merchant just what it
would cost him TO go to the bank and
borrow like amount with which to
pay $1,000 worth of bills, OnS percent
on the dollar, amounting to S400 year
ly. Now where is the merchant to get
this $500 with which to meet the in
terest on So 900 at percent? There is
only one source of supply and that is
from the profits on his investment.
And since the retail price of his goods
must represent the cost plus reason
able margin, 1t follows that he must
handle, sell and deliver from 81 800 to
50 900 worth of goods yearly, the en-
tire profits of which must be used to
meet the extra cost to him of carry
ing his book accounts.
believe it has long been the opin-
ion of most merchants that prompt
ness in settling accounts should be
rewarded. The man who pays cash
for his purchase has furnished that
merchant with the necessary capital
to re-stock the vacancy on his floor OF
shelves; while the credit buyer, .
who allows his account to run for
eighty or ninety days or longer has
doubled the merchants interest on
his investment to keep his floor we'll
stocked, because his last investment
is worth percent on a dollar, and his
investment in the piece of goods he
placed in the "credit buyers" home
