fined insomnia as nothing but sleep
lessness plus worry, thus roobing the

is to shake the mischief out Of it as
readily as the prestidigitator shakes
rabbits out of his handkerchief. Per-
haps, too, to carry on the figure, we
may concede that to do this as readily

RETAII.ER AND CONSUMER.

The trade situation is in more healthful sit
uation when the consumer has choice and IS
not confronted by line Of prices agreed upon III
advance by a combination OF merchants, be
they grocers. clothiers, candyseller, coal dealers
or men engaged in any line of trade that bases
its success on the disposal OF commodities An
element of uncertainty in the present situation
is the attitude of the retailer who is generally
maintaining prices in order to avoid losses IN
stocks purchased at reduced prices The re-
duced prices, as yet, have been only par
TALLY passed on to consumers, and the re-
ports Of slackening trade over the country
indicate that the public is wise to the
situation. The effort to avoid loss Is natural
enough, but it is checking trade, reducing pro-
duction, causing unemployment and creating
much dissatisfaction Moreover, it is very
doubtful policy from the standpoint OF the
merchant He doesn't like to devote his fall
season to taking losses, although he made
enormous gains during the past three or four
years; but the sagacious dealer in a time like
this will turn his stock over as fast as he can
replace the goods at lower prices By 50 doing
he is at least getting a dealers profit to apply
on his losses Soon or late there will be
leader in every community who will see that
his interest is served by this policy.
