GETTING NEW BUSINESS

The most progressive business firm finds that it needs to be con- stantly making new friends and creating a new circle of customers. If 1t just depends on satisfying those who have previously bought its goods. it is likely to see it's trade diminished. Population chang es more rapidly now than formerly. and if firm has a certain list of customers this year. it can expect as the result of all the changes that naturally occur, that consid- erable proportion of those custo- mers will not be on the list in a year or two.
 Also people are changeable in their habits and unless very energetic effort is made to hold old customers by advertising a lot of them will go elsewhere. attract ed by the various Inducements that are offered them.

EDITORS AND DOCTORS

The following boys essay oa edi- tors and doctors is cheerfully crib bed, because the periodical which published it had taken it from that famous anonymous source, Ex- change:

If the editor makes mistakes folks say he ought to be hung; but if the doctor makes mistakes, he buries them and people don't say nothing because they can't read and write Latin. When the editor makes mistakes there is big lawsuit and sweating ann a big fuss, but if the doctor makes one, there is a funeral. flowers, and perfect silence. A doctor can use world a yard long with out him or anyone else knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one. he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another mans wife he charges the man for the visit but if the editor does he gets d charge of buckshot. Any college can make doctors to order, but editors has to be born.

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY

There is always more or less worry connected with money. Those of us who do not have it worry about getting it, and those of us who have It are often put to a great deal of worry in hang ing on to it. In addition to this no little worry is brought on by the desire to make jitney grow where only penny grew before. It seems as though poets and phil osOphers have conspired to bring money into disrepute So anxious are they to tell us that the mere possession of it is great burden.
 In more recent times there has come to us the warning that mon ey carries germs. Germ experts even went so far as to demonstrate that a bank clerks occupation was particularly hazardous because he handles so much money. But now this dread has been dispelled.
 After exhaustive investigation on the subject of money as germ car riers two Illinois University ex- perts assure us that this danger has been greatly exaggerated It seems that the metals from which coins are made ac. as destroyers of bacteria.
 This relieves us of the worry connected with the handling of money The next thing for some expert to do it to tell us how we may be relieved of our worries in trying to get hold of it.

She felt pale and trembling with
disappointment. Despite the doc

steps would be so hating, so
frightened.
When Miss Olive, after this brief
essay, ordered Stephanie back 10

looking very worn and white. A
sick terror went clutchlng to
iJerry's heart, making her fool1shly

she cried when Ann Barney came

And then she decided, like a

who were to be here today were
her own kind-and Staley's kind.

CHAPTER "
II know your news-I. know
what it ISL said Ann Barney.
You're going to marry Staley,
aren't your"
Lily smiled. Yes. but how
did you guess?" she asked, and
Ann picked up her hand, where
Staley's diamond glittered and
flashed. Her own smile was a bit
strained as she looked at it.
Ann Barney's people had dol
lars where the Lexingtons did not
have pennies
She had been born and brought
up in the lap of luxury. She had
had governesses. She had gone
to school in France for four
years. She had been all around
the world twice.
And vet she was not the spoiled
and pampered darling that Lily
was. She was sensible and kind
and good, and she looked sensible
and kind and good from the top
of her dun-co1ored head to the
soles of her low-heeled shoes.
Where Lily's clothes were hand
sewn silk. AIMS were fine,
plain linen. Where Lily's finger
nails were like bits Of polished
The Washington times., 1928-03-06

pink coral, AIMS were clipped
short and square like a trained
nurses nails. Where Lily's skin
was ivory and early June roses,
AIMS was freckled and tanned.
Ann was about the last person
on earth who looked as il she
cherished an unrequited affection
for any man.
But Lily knew that she did.
She had noticed the way Ann
flushed up whenever Staley
Drummond walked into a room
where she was. and how she
looked when anyone spoke his
name.
And so she felt a bit embar-
raised and guilty now when Ann
put her big, muscular arms
around her and kissed her on
both cheeks.
''Well, / think that's just fine,
Lily" she said, with such hearty
enthusiasm that Lily was almost
persuaded for a minute that she
meant what she said.
"IIl tell you what wen do,
she said, brightly. Wen an.

What Doctors Think

In all history, no Indian was ever

Cascarizing the bowels never
forms a laxative habit. If already
formed, an occasional cascaret will
usually break the habit. For cas-.
cara strengthens the muscular
walls of the bowels, and their need

this characteristic? The writer
knows of none.
