The difference between what the producer gets for his product and what
the consumer pays for it has unquestionably been too great. In spite of that
fact, you see very few retailers getting rich. Waste accounts for *t. The
cost of doing business in the average, individually operated store is too high.
SKAGGS’ STORES system is doing much to eliminate that waste. Here is
just one saving. In 100 average stores there would be 100 buyers. For the
more than 100 SKAGGS STORES there 5 buyers—one-twentieth the buying
expense! We make many other savings proportionately as important, and
our patrons get the benefit.

Prohibition applied to coffee drink
ing at one time. In the year 1781 in
Germany only a few rich holders of
government licenses drank coffee and
deputies were employed to spy upon
the common people to see that they
did not have coffee. These deputies
used to follow the smell of roasting
coffee to seek out those who did not
have permits. In consequence they
were cordially disliked and were called
“coffee smellers” by the Indignant
populace.—Famllj Herald.
A business man who had motored
out to his summer caqap for the .week
end met his little daughter at the
bridge aud presented her with a small
sack of candy. Just - before they
reached camp they overtook the small
barefoot boy who brought them milk
each morning.
“Give the little boy some candy,
Gertie,” her father suggested.
Gertie picked out a small piece, but
her father took the bag and poured
out several pieces into the boy’s out
stretched hand.
After the boy bad gone Gertie said
reproachfully, “Papa, why did you give
that milk boy nearly all my candyt'
“Why, my dear, you must be gener
ous! Think of all the nice milk he
brings, and they don’t charge much for
It"
“Oh, well," said the little girl, still
reproachfully, “I only had a few bits
of candy, and he's got a whole cow
full of milk."—Youth’s Companion.

According to one authority, says
Popular Mechanics, a single London
fog may cost more Ilves than a pitched
battle. The period of the greutest
prevalence of the dense mists is in De
cember, with the other wtnter months
not far behind. At this season of the
year the death rate from lung diseases
reaches Its height. The heavy, mola-
lure-laden air aggravates such mala
dies, the lack of sunlight reduces phys
ical resistance -and ITtness
results from chills caused by the damp
ness. Mental depression is considered
another harmful effect.

They wear bobbed hair and have done
so for centuries. Rut the day a Kachin
