Old Age Pensions
for Babies

THOUSANDS Of English
men and women who
have lived beyond the Bibli-
cal age of threescore years
and ten are arguing that
they should get bigger pen
sions from the Government
TO help lift the British
birth rate.
IF we didn't have 10

PENSIONS" said one oldster,
"there'd be more jobs for
younger people. Then they
could get married and have
children. And it's a shame
how many young married
couples are afraid TO have
babies, because they are
helping support their old
folks and can't afford to
raise families of their own"
Government officials

than a little truth in what

After resting practically
at the bottom of the popu-

stock in Skunks, Ltd, has
been rising in the public
estimation lately.

and snakes, but were viii

Then, some years back,
people began discovering
that slunks really are
friendly at heart and make
nice pets-if they aren't
frightened, or if a minor
operation is performed 10

a still newer milestone In
the skunk's slow advance i'm

She may be the first person

which she raises, for sale

which formerly no Ameri.

"DeodoriZed baby skunks,

At first, " she says, many
purchasers took them as a
novelty - TO shock their
friends. Then they found
that skunks are affection
ate, graceful and intelligent
little creatures and make
wonderful pets. So the buy
ers came TO love their
skunks, and now many of
their friends are on the
lookout for similar pets"

What 'sNew
In Business
Nation on Spending
Spree for Foods
BY WARD SCHULTZ

Sales by restaurants, groc-
cries and other food stores in
the United States rose from
693,000,000 in the prewar
year of 1888 to SIS, ,261, 900. 900 in
1914, an increase Of 1927 per
cent, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute.
This was a much larger per-
centage increase than that
shown by retail sales OF all
other commodities combined
which rose from SIS $3.50, 900 in
1888 to S41,014, 900, 900 in 1914,
a gain Of only 61.7 per cent.
Half of the gain in total retail
trade from $3S, ,053, 900 in 1888
to the record high figure Of
$69, ,275, 600. 900 in 1914 was
accounted for by the increase in
food sales alone. In 1888, food
sales represented 33.4 per cent
Of total retail trade. In 1914,

cent of the total. Reports for
the first two months of 1916
show a continuation Of the
trend.
One of the outstanding fea-
tures or the expansion OF food
sales during the war has been
the increase in the sales by res
tauFants. Sales by restaurants
rose from So, ,1s1 900, 900 in 1888
90 S9,314,000.000 in 1914, an in
crease of 1928 per cent. This

cries and other food stores,

in 1888 TO S1S.947,0O0,0O0 in
