The perennial cry OF indepcnd-

taiicrs. especially since the early
ie3Os has been that they are un-
able To meet prices set by large
firms and corporations.
In some cases. the larger. more
efficient firms set out to gain a
bigger share OF their product mar
ket by cutting prices and under
selling with the intent OF forcing
smaller firms out OF business,
The more logical conclusion IL

prices and producing much more
efficiently than small firms are In

NEW YORK, N.Y.-Modern mothers have the benefit Of

The baby5s 5year-old sister was obviously victim Of the
same form Of skin eruption, only hers was more widespread.
The same ointment had been applied to spots on her face
and on the scalp of her head.
What had happenedP My young friend explained that
whe nthe little girl, Mary, had come home from kindergarten
the day before, she had noticed several sore-looking spots
near the hair line. They seemed to have pus IN them. Then
noticed Mary scratching her scalp. | investigated and dis
