If there were one thing l always
hated to do more than another, it was
cleaning the sink. But also hated
a dirty, stained, sinky looking sink.
And unless said sink was scrubbed and
secured daily it got into awful shape.
For some time now I've been using
a whiskbroom, and 1t certainly does
the work and saves my hands.
Securing powder and plenty Of good,
hot water will keep any sink immacu-
late, and with a whiskbroom you can
use the hottest of water, than which
there's nothing better for stains.
The whiskbroom itself Is easily kept
clean. l always let very hot water
run through it and shake it almost dry
before hang 1t up. The coarseness OF

of wood about its construction make
it much more sanitary article than

Der $372.O4S this September SO it
goes, through a long MIST of articles
classed as "luxuries."
Some of these increase represent a
natural response to a demand which
foreign dealers could not supply last
year on account of the war But
most of il is due to the sudden
craze for Injuries in this country.
The figures would be still more i'm
pressive il they were obtainable for
October and November The demand
has been growing right along, in spite
of high prices and trial troubles
and everything else,
II may be argued that people with
money have right to spend il for
whatever they like Perhaps they
have. Still, the situation today
is at least unfortunate. Increased
imports are highly desirable; but
the imports most needed are standing
commodities to supplement our own
domestic store-7not clostly things
that the nation could easily do with
out. And indirectly all the expenditure

When merchants and people SC

Foolish purchasers come to prefer
the flimsy merely elegant to the sub

POST OFFICE EXCHANGE

Though exchange rates are haVi-
ly in favor of the United States
that is, dollar today is exchange
able for n good deal more than 100
cents in foreign money-'thGs advan-
tage is lost when the the money is
sent abroad in the form of postice
money orders.
The man who buys at his post
office a money order for England or
France or Italy or Germany gets an
order for precisely the same number
CT shilings, francs, lire or marks that
he would have got before the war, in
SPITE of the fact that dollar is now
worth about five shilMngs instead OF
four. 10 francs or lire instead OF i've
and 20 marks instead OF four Thus
the receiver of the money order, at
the other end, is cheated, getting
less money, or less purchasing power
than he is entitled to.
The Omitted States government is
not doing any deliberate cheating; it
is the natural result of a system re
gulated by treaties, which works both
ways, sometimes putting money into
Uncle Sans pocket and sometimes
taking ii out. The results to the peo-
pie concerned are none the less UNI
fortunate.
There an easy way out of the difficult
ty. Instead of buying postal money
order, go to a banker. He will give
the sender a foreign draft that can
be cashed by the receiver for all the
money coming to him under the cur
rent exchange rate That is, il the
banker is honest The foreign quart
ers of American cities are infested
with crooked bankers. Only those
of known dependability should be
trusted in such transactions.
