F F Nations at Peace Are Careful of Expenditure

@ LOWLY but surely the process 0 of readjustment is under way. The lack of dispatch in this move ment has been fortunate, because it's graduated progress has enabled busi- ness interests to care for themselves. . Dun's Review says:
 Resistance to market yielding
 persists in some quarters, but fails
 to offset the influence of natural
 economic forces, and declines in
 commodity quotations this week
 again outnumber advances by
 considerable margin.
 The curtailing is being done with out haste and with sufficient notice of each approaching change in the commercial weather. It is natural that the man with goods to sell should not rush to the lower levels and that he should deny them until they are undeniable, but his denial does not imply blind obstinacy.
 Dun's Says:
 Liquidation of goods that could
 not be moved at previous extreme
 prices is still a feature in various
 wholesale and retail channels, pre-
 vailing monetary restrictions has,
 tening the offerings in some in-
 stances. It is significant that the
 openings of new lines of merchan-
 disc for forward seasons are be-
 ing made at appreciable reductions
 from former levels
 1hls does not mean that anyone IS being hurt. It implies nothing more than the native sound sense of the nation. The spending orgy of war times, when sudden wealth made the nation drunk, stopped some time ago. The further the nation gets from the war, the less will it indulge in fool ssh expenditure and the more con- 'ervative must the successful mer- ,hant be.
 Happily for the American people, he war took from them none of their productive capacity. Capacity is be- ng translated into production of | ,oods for people at peace, and a lation at peace is more careful of | what it spends than one at war.

Between the Lines

"1 was with some friends in a car the other day on my way downtown" ," said w. F. Tyler, and the question of the amount of damage done by moths came up. One of the men stated that his best suits and overcoats had been riddled by them. This brought up the subject of preventives. I heard the virtue of camphor. tobacco and other remedies extolled, and then 1 told them how they could get .,rid of the pest without any expense and with little trouble. It's so simple that few will try it out. Just wrap them up se- curely in newspapers and put them away and the moths will not bother them, as evidently there is something in printers ink which they do not like..''

THE HAPPY BROTHER The happy hearted brother may be very far from rich, He may not have a penny to his name But he has disposition worth the cul- tivating which Makes him wealthy as a Croesus, just the same.
