Health Of Blood Donors.

The present market rates for blood

is, Z ounces UP to O ntnt). For each

pint an additional $40 Is paid. AT
these rates the supply Is much greater
than the demand. Blood donors ought
to organize ana establish thelf own

Shrinkage of food is caused by gases
and juices being expelled from the
feeds. Except where essences are
wanted shcinkage is undesirable. it
reduces size, making the FOODS serve
fewer persons. when juices are ex-

Everyday Psychology
Initiating Egos.

UsAAA6 A6VS'
In these days OF competition and
strife, the big problem is to be able TO
handle others without their knowing
what Is going on. In order to handle
others, you must assume that each per-
son has an ego. You shold also assume
that these various egos are never
so large but that they can be made a
little larger, at least for the time being.
Ego infiationl The way to make people
have a good opinion Of you.
You may initiate some egoS by asking
a small favor. It Is said that Benjamin
Franklin got rid Of his first political
enemy by borrowing book from him.
Another way to initiate an ego Is to
play on D hobby. EgS and hobbies are
twins. Many, in fact, most successful
men have used that method. just q
passing word, or perhaps question Is
all that Is needed.
Next in line comes the business or
profession associated with the ego. Few
men fail to talk about what they live
by, even II the living is hard. When
you h,:e them talking, you are getting
them under control. Talking Is q form
of activity. You can't make anything
else out of talk, cheap as 1t often is.
Another sure shot is this: Every ego
has a friend somewhere. So get ac-
quainted with the friend, and refer TO
said friend the next time you want to
do business: do you know 50 and SOP"
It is one of the best ways to create
friendly feelings.
Favors, hobbies, business, friends. It
isn't the lunch that sells, but the fact
that you talk about this big four while
lunching.
