Quality and. Price Appeal.

Ordinarily two things decide all of
our Enthusiastically and price.
Understanding these two appeals"
as they are sometimes known, will
help to make more efficient "purchas-
ing agents Of us all. First, look
at shop windows.
One window will be filled with arti-
cles of all kinds, each one price
tagged. Another window will only
have Il few articles in it, simply but
impressively displayed, with no price
tags evident. The first window APP
peals by price aud the second by
quality. Were you to be blindfolded
and led to a shop window you could
tell by the display what sort of neigh
borhood you We're in, how the people
bought and how they were sold.
Quality manifests itself in many
ways. 1t may be in fineness of
texture, exclusiveness of design, dis.
tinctiveness of material or superior
workmanship in manufacture. All Of
these things are worth money to those
who can afford them. There is no
doubt at all that a 500 pair of shoes
If sensibly bought, will return dollar
for dollar its value in satisfactory
service.
We cannot all afford to buy quality
goods. We are limited by price in
our buying. 1t is up to us. therefore.
to get as much as we can for the
money we can afford to spend. That
is one reason why price shoppers
often get most for their money.
When one buys quality price is not
likely to matter. but when one buys
price merchandise there is an incen.
tive to stretch our shopping dollars.
1t is not true, however, that all
quality goods are costly. Many arti.
cles Of daily use are inexpensive, but
invariably one will find substitutes
at lower price. 1t is also obvious
that some of us can and do buy
quality merchandise in one line and

THE HOW.

C. . T'is as easy to be right as TO be
wrong--and to ones glory -
Etiquette, much as we may dislike
the word, is one that may well cap
ture our attention these days of hur-
ried living and hurried thinking, when
life seems to be moving too rapidly to
allow for the little formalities that
may so easily be dropped by the way
side. And yet, by these formalities,
by the manner in which we lido"
things, are we known to those with
whom we come in contact as we move
about in our world Of civilization,
We are placed by our manner, by
our speech, by our personal appear
ance. and the first impression that
we give, however favorable 1t may be,
cannot be Il lasting one unless by
habit we continue to demonstrate
straight through our acquaintance
with our fellow being that our choice
of things, personal and impersOnal, is
always a discriminating one-that we
prefer the nice to the indifferent
things of life and that, instinctively,
we do correctly even the little, unim-
portant things. as custom from time
immemorial has decreed they should
be done.
Chekhov has said: 81. g. One should
be mentally clear, morally pure and
physically tidy - We might add
to this that also one should he con-
cerned with the niceties of choice
for etiquette is that and that alone,
a nice choice where choice there is
between the good. bad and Indifferent
way of doing things.
This new column, then, is 10 come
into being in the hope that it may be
of assistance in jusk this-the choice.

Belching,

How embarrassed Jim Brown feels
when he is seized with an attack of
belchingi And how annoying it Is to
Jim Browns audience.
BeIching is not a bad habit into
which the thoughtless fall. The cause
must be looked for. If the desire to
belch occurs after every meal, I'M
doubtedly the diet needs changing.
One authority remarks that there
are three kinds of belching: ~ A
slight gurgling sensation felt in the
esophagus or windpipe. (2) The
eructation or belching of gas from
the stomach. CD A movement of air
downward into the stomach, or a
voluntary or half-voluntary swallow
ing of air.
DIR. Kellogg, DIR. Case and others
have shown that so-called belching in
the majority of cases is simply swal-
lowing of air or the belching of air
which has been swallowed. A feeling
of discomfort is felt in the stomach
and the victim tries to. relieve ii
by taking deep breath and "ejecting"
it. Occasionally hiccough and belch-
ing are associated.
IT Is probable that many cases of
stomach discomfort are the result of
reverse peristaltic waves which bring
gas or liquid into the stomach and
cause distress.
When food is being digested, the
contraction and movement of the
stomach cause the food to be moved
along to the intestines, and along the
intestines also. This is called peristal-
sis or peristaltic motion. When the
waves through some disturbance
should start going backwards, the
movement would be reverse peristaltic
waves.
1t is well known that gas is rarely
generated in the stomach by fermen-
tation. Gas in the stomach is either
swallowed or brought up from the
intestines by reverse peristalsis.
Sometimes the stomach discomfort
may be due to gas found lower down
in the intestines.
Temporary relief for the sufferer
from belching may be gained by sip
ping a glassful OF very hot water,
with perhaps little baking soda in
it. This will open the upper stomach
and let the disturbing gas or liquid
escape. However, the real cause of
