Grocer Pays Customers A "cash and carry system" has been put into operation by a grocer at Fond du Lac, Wis., for the benefit of his customers. If his customers pay cash for their goods he deducts 5 per cent. If they carry home their purchases he throws off another 5 per cent. A little arithmetic will show that if your grocery bill amounts to $25 a month, you will save $2.50, which multiplied by twelve would make a tidy addition to your savings account at the end of the year. The plan, it is reported, takes well at Fond du Lac. Why doesn't some enterprising grocer in Richmond devise a scheme to co-operate with his customers in reducing the high cost of living. It might lead the way to a big increase in his business and a reduction in the cost of doing business. 39,863 Vacant Homes in Berlin For every thousand houses in Berlin, sixtysix stand empty. Why? Because the heads of

these homes either are fighting in the trenches or have been killed. If you want to realize what war means, just ponder these statistics for a few minutes.

Embargo Urged William Winkleman, trustee of the Retail Grocers' Association of New York, gave out a statement recently in which he said that six widely advertised food manufacturers have withdrawn all salesmen, and are unable to supply the trade. He says, "We can get no baked beans, spaghetti, split peas, canned soups, buckwheat or flour. We can last until the first of the year, but after that no one can say what will happen. One thing can be predicted and that is the bankruptcy of thousands of small grocers. Only an immediate embargo can save us." The common man needs protection. If an embargo will cut down the cost of high, living, the embargo ought to be established at once.

FRAMES DRY BILL FOR LEGISLATURE

Two Million Killed, That's All The number of Russian casualties , since June 1, 1916, has reached 100,621 officers and 2,027,853 men. The last half of the year has not ended. The butchery is awful. Is there a person who does not hope that the horrible slaughter will end before Christmas comes. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished for, but, alas, we fear it will not come to pass.

THE GOLD OF THE GODS

BY ARTHUR B. REEVE

(A Mystery of the Incas Solved by Craig Kennedy; Scientific, Detective)

"But Senorita Mendoza bas not the dagger," put In Kennedy, watching her face, keenly, to read the effect of his remark. "She has no idea where it may be." "Then it is pure tradition on which Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Whitney depend in their search for the treasure? flashed back the Senora quickly. Kennedy did not know, but he did not confess it. "Until we know differently, we must take their word for it," he evaded. "It was not that that I meant, however," replied Senora de Moche. "I meant that we might stop the curse by ceasing to hunt for the treasure. It has never done any one good; it never will. Why tempt fate, then? Why not pause before it is too late? I could not quite catch the secondary implication of her plan. Did it mean that the , treasure would then be left for her family? Or was she hinting at Inez accepting Alfonso's suit? Somehow I could not take the Senora at her face value. I constantly felt that there was an ulterior motive back of her actions and words. I saw Craig watching the young man's face, and followed his eyes. There was no doubt of how he took the remark. He was gazing ardently at Inez. If there had ever been any doubt of his feelings, which, of course there had not, this would have settled it. "One thing more," added the Senora, as though she had had an afterthought "and that is about Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Whitney. Let me ask you to think it over. Suppose they have not the dagger. Then are their chances better than others? And if they have" she paused to emphasize it "what does it mean?" Kennedy had turned his attention to the Senorita. It was evident that the dilemma proposed by de Moche was not without weight. She had now coloured a flaming red. The woman had struck in a vital spot. "Mr. Lockwood is not here to defend himself," Inez said quietly. "I will not have him attacked by innuendo." She had risen. Neither the ardour of Alfonso nor the seeds of doubt of the Senora had shaken her faith. It was a test that Kennedy evidently was glad to have witnessed. For some day she might learn the truth about the foot-prints. He understood her character better. The Senora, too, had learned that if she were to bring prespure on the girl she might break her, but she would not bend. Without another word Inez, scarcely bowing stiffly, moved out of the tea room, and we followed, leaving the mother and son there, baffledv "I hope you will pardon me for allowing you to come here," said Kennedy, in a low voice. "I did it because there are certain things that you. ought to hear. It was in fairness to -you. I would not have you delude

yourself about Mr. Whitney, about Mr. Lockwood, even. I want you to feel that, no matter what you hear or see, you can come to me and know that I will tell you the truth. It may hurt, but it will be best." I thought he was preparing the way for a revelation about the foot-prints, but he said nothing more. "Oh, that woman!" she exclaimed, as if to change the subject. "I do not know, I cannot say, why she affects me so. I saw a change in my father, when he knew her. I have told you how he was, how sometimes I thought he was mad. Did you notice a change in Mr. Whitney, or haven't you known him long enough? And lately I have fancied that I see the same sort of change beginning in Mr. Lockwood. At times they become so excited, their

eyes seem staring, as if some fever;

were wasting them away. Father seemed to see strange visions, and hear voices, was worse when he was alone than when he was in a crowd. Oh, what is it? I could think of nothing else, not even what she was saying, all the time I was with her." "Then you fear that in some way she may be connected with these strange changes?" asked Kennedy. "I don't know," she temporized; but the tone of her answer was sufficient to convey the impression that in her

heart she did suspect something, she j

knew not what. "Oh, Professor Kennedy," she cried

finally, "can't you see it? Sometimes when she looks out of those eyes of hers she almost makes people do as she pleases." We had come to the taxicab stand before the hotel, and Kennedy had already beckoned to a cab to take her home. As he handed her in she turned with a little shiver. "Don't please, think me foolish," she added, with bated breath, "but often I fear that it is, as we call it, the "mal de ojo" the evil eye!"

GREENWOOD, Ind., Dec. 14. A bill for statutory state wide prohibition will be introduced in the state senate next month by Thomas Dorrell, democratic senator-elect from Johnson, Brown and Monroe counties. Mr. Dorrell says he will introduce the bill early in the session. "I am planning to introduce this bill because I represent three strongly 'dry counties," he said recently. I believe the action will represent thfc sentiment of the majority of the people in the three counties. In drafting the bill the experience and judgment of states with statutory prohibition will be considered. "I propose to take this action as early in the session as possible because I believe the sentiment in the state in favor of state wide prohibition is pretty well crystalized at this time. I am a Democrat, of course, but that is not a partisan measure and I hope the bill will receive support from both parties."

XMAS GOODS STOLEN

EATON, O., Dec. 14. Christmas goods valued at $41.12 were stolen from a consignment shipped by Pennsylvania freight to C. B. Cokefair, local druggist. The theft was perpetrated while the consignment was enroute from the wholesale house.

For All Complexion Ills

If the skin be colorless, sallow, muddy, over-red, blotchy, chapped or freckled, nothing will so surely overcome the condition as ordinary mercolized wax. It literally takes off a bad complexion absorbs the dead and neardead particles of surface skin, gently, gradually, causing no inconvenience at all. A new complexion is then in evidence, clear, spotless, delicately soft and beautiful. One ounce of this wax, procurable at any drugstore, will rejuvenate even the worst complexion. It is used like cold cream. Adv.

MUNCIE IS ENTITLED TO 4 MORE SALOONS

MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 14. The board of commissioners of Delaware has decided that the vote cast at the last election here indicates the population of Muncie to be large enough for four more saloons. The ratio here is one saloon to about each 600 inhabitants An unusual situation developed when the commissioners had the question under advisement. The "dry" forces did not oppose granting four more licenses, as all the additional saloons must be located in the business section where saloons already are, but the holders of older liquor licenses registered a strong protest. They said they did not desire any more competition.

Danger Signal If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that is causing the coughing. This can nearly always be done by. taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., Writes: "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Couh Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up' these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other.' Obtainable everywhere. Adv.
