THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1917

TWO DELIVERIES DAILY BY CITY'S RETAIL DEALERS

'Carry Your Own Bundles" is Slogan of Richmond Dealers.

Carry your own bundles Is the slogan of Richmond retail merchants tv ho have entered Into the plan sugRested by the state defense council to eliminate waste through the unnecessary delivering of packages and the return of goods. , Realizing the importance of the investigation made by the government which showed that annually millions of dollars were wasted in the unnecessary deliveries, the retail merchants of the country were called upon to make and the tremendous loss sustained by the needless return of merchandise, Will Hays, Chairman of the Indiana State Council of Defense, appointed a committee of retail merchants of the state to take care of this particular work of the State Council. The committee is constituted as follows: Frederick M. Ayres, Chairman, Indianapolis: R. A. Andres, Evansvine; H. W. Eldridge. South Bend; Myer Holler, President Indiana Retail Dry Goods Association, Newcastle; Milton Herz, Terre Haute; J. E. Karns President Indianapolis Business Men's Association, Indianapolis; David Meyer, President Indiana Retail Grocer's Association, Anderson; C. M. Mills, President Indiana Retail Merchants' Association, Fort Wayne; S. W. Newberger, New Albany; Lee B. Nusbaum, Richmond; J. C. O'Hara, Muncie; John 11, Schuessler, Lafayette; Carl S. Wise, Logansport, and W. E. Balch, Secretary, Indianapolis. According to Mr. Nusbaum the cost of delivering an ordinary package by retail merchants is five cents and there are numerous packages that the merchants are asked to deliver that could be carried away by the purchaser as easily as by the deliveryman. Two Deliveries Daily Richmond merchants are being asked to conform with the rules and regulations regarding the delivery and return of merchandise as adopted by Ihe merchants of the United States at their meeting In Washington on July If). These rules provide that the package deliveries in the city shall be made twice dally and in outlying districts once a day. A special charge for deliveries made at special times was recommended at the meeting, local merchants fixing their own charges based on the cost of handling the delivery. Rules were also made concerning the return of merchandise. It was shown that the promiscous return of merchandise is not only unsanitary, but that millions of dollars were being lost annually by merchants being made to accept merchandise, returned in a wholly unsalable condition. Also persons who make a practice of returning C.O.D. merchandise shall be looked upon by merchants as undesirable credit and their unwarranted practice made to stand against their credit record. Cities Will Comply These- rules are to be complied with, at the request of the state defense council, by all merchants of Indiana. Each district will be in charge of one of the members of the Merchants' Economy committee and it will be the duty of the chairman of this committee to call into his city all of the merchants in his district, acquaint them with the request of the defense council and to pledge them to comply with the rules and regulations. Will Report Failures The names of all merchants complying with this request will be sent to Washington through the state defense council at Indianapolis, as well as the names of those who refuse or fail to comply with it as it is the intention of the government to know that retail merchants of the country economize along the lines laid down. In places where the rules concerning delivering and return of goods have been tried, they have been found to bo altogether reasonable and to work no hardship on anyone, but on the other hand, have effected an economy well wortti the effort. The numbpr of men and the amount of capital employed in the delivery service of retail stores is unnecessary and wholly unwarranted during this time of war when everyone is economizing, pnd It is the intention of Richmond merchants to do their part along these lines.

British Weakness in Rapped by LONDON, Aug. 24. The Manchester Guardian expresses great dissatisfaction over what It terms British weakness in the air. and says that Great Britain's position should be mien that an invasion of the United Kingdom by air would be as Impossible as on surface or by water. "The air service." the newspaper continues, "comes into conflict with two great vested interests, that of the army and of the navy, who are both concerned to push their own solution of military difficulties and regard the new comer air power with a certain degree of jealousy. It must be at the service of the nation and above any detrimental subordination. "Until the air ministry becomes a separate department of state equal to POSrTQASTIES are bull yv dood for anyvmealf' and for all the family

Roaie Baldwirf of Martinsville, Ind., Says: I have been using your remedy Natura for a very bad case of running catarrh, which I had since a child. I had become a physical and nervous wreck; had had nervous' prostration twice. I had run down in weight to 114 lbs. I had stomach trouble for five years, could not eat anything without suffering; I lived on a light diet for six months, with no results. My kidneys and bladder were badly affected and gave me great distress. I was habitually constipated, was continually taking laxatives and physics to get relief and had severe headaches. My condition was such that I was not able to work; was given up by five physicians to die of tuberculosis in six months. I have now been using Natura for two months and i am feeling like a new woman; no stomach trouble, am free from constipation, no headaches and kidneys are doing fine. My nerves are strong again. I can again sleep and rest and I now weigh 145 lbs. Ihave unbounded faith In Natura for the cure of all forms of catarrh. ! Natura can be' obtained at Richmond, Ind. G, Luken &.
