REDUCING THE
WAR DEBT

The total of Liberty loan and
Victory bond issues during the war
was approximately see, 200, zoo, 900.
1t was calculated that if paid of at
the rate Of billion year we might
be free by 1947. This without
counting on any payments on the
$11 900, 100000 Europe owes this
country, a large portion of which
it has been recognized is unlikely
ever to be paid.
1t is only three years since the
Victory bond issue, May 1919, and
the latest figures indicate that So
600, 200, 900 Of our war debt has al
ready been wiped out. There Is
now outstanding only about S17r
500, 100000 Of the nearly $751;
000, ZOO, 900 issued. But against
this over eight billions reduction
the treasury has out notes and
certificates amounting to $780,
100000, so that the net reduction
in our war debt has been $4,000
000, 900, or almost twice as much as
originally calculated likely in the
three years. This is so much better
than expected that credit will be
freely given to the federal financial
management.

A NEW ORDER
OF BUSINESS

II the advertising experts keer
on improving their art, eating is 60
ing to be popularized with the hu-
man race. Every few days the
advertisers rescue some humble food
stuff from obscurity.
The raisin seemed to need nc
discovering. 1t formed the hub to
mothers big white cookies; it con-
verted boiled rice into rice pudding
it was the chief fruit in 'fruit"
cake. 1t was oftener purloined from
the high cupboard than the pro-
verbal jam.
But the advertising man seized
upon the lowly raisin and promoted
it to a CONNECTION. How it came
about is told by Wylie M. Giffen,
president of the California Associ-
ated Raisin Co. There were too
many raisins-that is, too many for
the regular market that the raisin
growers had formerly furnished.
Then the advertising expert pro-
posed enlightening the nation con-
corning the surprising food values
Of raisins. When enough folk had
been persuaded that their constitu-
tions would warp, check and open
up at the joints unless reinforced
with iron, and that California raisins
were perfect little iron mines, the
raisin crop was taken care Of. The
people Of the United States rushed
up to the candy counters and car
ried away 1900 tons Of raisins in
nickel packages.
The grape fruit was the old maid
Of the citrus family until advertis-
ing made it popular. The orange
growers, through their association
by national advertising, have in
creased their incomes millions of
dollars. They kept telling the peo-
pie the road to health. 1t seems
everyone wants to get well if the
porcess demands no more than eat
ing something that is pretty pal
atable anyway.
And as the idea Of organization
takes and spreads among the grow
ers of food stuffs, the practice Of
advertising is bound to extend.
What revelations are in store for
US. Soon we shall know why we
have kept healthy all these years
eating potatoes and beefsteak with
side of stewed corn. We shall
gain a new respect for boiled cab
bage because we shall know all
about calories and vitamines and
whatnot.
The process has advanced now to
the point where there is a battle
among the common articles Of Diet
for supremacy. The milk dealers
are proving that pint of their
product is worth pounds Of other
foods. Cheese is making its high
claims. Soon the advertisers viii
be boosting the goober and the
white oak acorn. It is all good |
business. 1t adds a good deal to |
the zest of eating to hold firmly to
the conviction that every mouthful
is a portion Of health and every |
movement Of the jaws is q proeress
physical perfection.
