"HE retail grocery firm OF New
York City. Inc. has been do
ing more business during the
last three weeks than even
those firms which were started by the
crsndfathers Of the present manage
ment. The average daily business Of
this firm. with 100000 stockholders,
has been slightly more than 100000.
This is fairly good for a concern which
never before dealt in groceries.
The city is running chain OF stores
with schoolhouss as the sales de-
pots About thirty thousand custom
.rs pa.ronize the stores each day. The
commodities on sale were originally
purchased BY the United States govern
ment, another large firm which has
been dealing in food to a great extent
during the last two years, for con-
sumption by an army Of four million.
When there was no enemy for this
army 10 fight and they began taking

left over After several yards of the
reddest kind of tape were unravelled
this city and others were authorized
to act as agents for the government in
the sale Of army food TO the public.
Under the plan devised by Deputy
Public Markets Commissioner Edwin j.
O'Nalley, the food is sold TO the city
OF thirty-day consignment basis. The
city must give the government the
money or the food within thirty days
after delivery. Judging from the con-
eerted efforts Of the housewives who
ride in limousines and those who can
hardly afford to ride in trolley cars,
there will be no business for trucks in
esr,ins the food back TO the ware
houses.

There was lull yesterday in the Carl

pointed out how a fellow like Mays could
have been rushed into yesterdays game

A telegram was received yesterday by
Col. Rupert president OF the Yankees.
from Ban Johnson, president of the

says he will be in New York tomorrow,
when he will talk over the Mays matter
with Rupert and Huston.
Until we have this conference with

we are unable to convince Mr.. johnson
that Mays should pitch for. our club
there will be some interesting develop
ments on that day"
There was report on he Polo
Grounds yesterday that the Yankee
players would go on strike next Tuesday
IL Mayss suspension was not lifted. 1t
is true q few hot headed players on the
club urged such action on their fellows.
but it is not taken seriously by Yankee
officials.
Rupert gave the report no counte-
nance yesterday, attributinG 1t to '1ooEe
talk" OF individual members of the team
He did not think the numerous veteran
members of the team would try anything
so foolhardy.
According to Ban Johnson, Carl Mays
will be subjected TO n heavy fine, which
he must pay out of his own pocket, be-
fore he Is reinstated.

Of SIX to 81 goals the Rockaway Hunt

on the International field at Meadow
Brook, where more than three thousand
prominent people stood around the side

The clean cut victory for Rockaway,

to hundreds of Meadow Brook followers
who looked upon their team as a sure
winner by at least four goals.
The match was on the fiat and had

winners would have received two goals
by allowance as Rockaway totaled 81
while Meadow Brook had 20. The game

SENSIBLE ECONOMY

There are many warped no.
tions regarding the meaning of
economy. Some think that econ
omy means skimping and stingi-
ness deprivation = the buying
Of cheap goods.
When applied to the buying
and using of cheap foodstuffs,
there never was a more grievous
error, graver mistake. 1t is
the worst kind of folly to de-
prive oneself or family of pure,
wholesome foods for the sake
of money-miserliness. Such a
method is certain to result in i'm
paired health. Food purity should
be the, first consideration-then
economy.
This happy combination of
purity and economy are splen-
didly defined in Calumet Baking
Powder. Calumet is absolutely
pure in the can and in the bak-
ings-it contains only such in
gradients as have been officially
approved by the U. S. Food
Authorities. Despite the fact
that Calumet is the purest, high
est quality Baking Powder pro-
durable, it is moderate in price.
In addition to this, Calumet
affords another opportunity for
saving. 1t possesses twice the
leavening strength Of most pow
ders--only half the usual amount
is required. Again--Calumet en-
ables the housewife to practice
sensible economy-Calumet nev-
er fails-it never allows bakeday
loss and waste of expensive bak.
ing ingredients.
Only by purchasing and using
such products can the housewife
employ economy of a truly bene-
fetal nature.

ton of gasoline had increased to
nearly sixty-eight million barrels,
an increase of more than fifty
thousand barrels a day.
+, 1t was thought by many that
this must be the peak of Ameri-
can patriotic effort, but in 1918,
when the war had assumed even
greater proportions. the produc-
ton of gasoline was over eighty
five million barrels, an increase
for the year of more than seven
teen million barrels. The daily
increase for this year over the
record breaking year of 1877 was
about forty-seven thousand bar
rels for each of the 365 days. or
almost as much more as the in
crease of the previous year.
How this country sent an ever
increasing flood of this gasoline
to the allies and to friendly coun-
tries is seen in the export figures.
In 1916 there were 8,473, 102
barrels of gasoline sent abroad.
In 1917. this amount had in
creased to 9,901, 877 barrels, an
crease of about 1900 barrels a
day. In 1918 these exports had
reached a total of 13. 313, 5o8 bar
rels, an increase of nearly 10, 900
barrels a day over the year 1917.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Man
ming that no single industry in
this country of so important a
nature ever made such a show
ing in a single year and he doubts
if the future will ever show such
a record of achievement.

CAN BE DEDUCTED

Expenses incurred in adver-
tising and promoting the sale of
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps are deductable on the
part of individuals and corpora
tions as a business expense in
the computation of income taxes,
according to advice given out by
Commissioner Roper, of the In
ternal Revenue Department at
Washington. 1t is the intention
of the government to show every
consideration to those men and
women who have given their
time and means in previous loans
and to whom it looks for assist
ance in putting across the final
effort of the Victory Liberty
Loan.
1t further explains the effort
onsthe part of the government to
show its appreciation for the
work of patriotic Americans, as
evidenced in the announcement
that medals struck from cap
tured German cannons are to be
awarded all of the workers in the
Victory Liberty Loan campaign,
which will open on April 2lst.
The medal will bear on its front an

FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING

Fake advertisers not only prac-

been promoting Truth in Ad.

great reforms.
The legislature of Arizona this
year enacted a law to protect the
public against fraudulent adver-

signed the bill. The newspapers
were in thorough sympathy with
it as they often do not have the
facilities to investigate when
offered advertisements from per-

DEFINITION Is CORRECT

A correspondent sends in the
following communication:
see you use the words "Boos-
ter" and "Knocker" very often
IN the paper. Are these the
definitions? This is what think
you mean.
When the Creator had made
all the good and beautiful things,
in order that they might be truly
appreciated, He then made the
beasts. reptiles and poisonous in
sects. When He had finished,
He had left over scraps that were
too bad oput in the rattlesnake,
the hyena, the scorpion or the
skunk. So he placed all these
together, covered it with Sus-
picion, wrapped it with Jealousy,
marked it with Yellow Streak
and called it a "Knocker!"
Then as q compensation for
this fearful product, he took a
sunbeam and put into it the heart
of a child, the love of a mother,
the brain Of a man, wrapped
these in Civic Pride. covered
with Brotherly Love, gave it a
mark of Velvet and a grasp of
Steel and called it a Booster. T"
He made him a lovel of fields
and flowers and manly sports; a
believer in Equality and Justice.
And ever since these two were
created, mortal man has had the
privilege of choosing his associa-
tions. These are the definitions
as | understand them.
