' Nobody’s
Business
McGEE—
"Free Goods.”
Wholesale and retail grocers know
that there Is no such thing as “free
goods.” yet every manufacturer of j
the iiroducta handled by such busl
nesses base their prices on so-called
•‘free goods."
I happen to be a wholesale mer- ,
chant and am In dally contact with (
selling schemes proffered by the
"big boys" which make me believe 1
that they believe that all merchants
are either darn fools or roving Idiots.
When a salesman says ‘free goods' i
to me, he has done made me “bil- \
ing" mad. Instead of pricing their i
stuff to you at so much, they try to
make you think they are giving you
something. Nobody has ever given
me anything but ‘‘2*10, 30 Net..” And
believe me, Erastus, they mean what
they say—when they fay “terms.”
For instance: Mr. Brown drops in
tells us that lie's with the Spagcttl
Macroni Co., of Hoboken. His regu
lar price Is 85 or 95 cents per dozen
for his merchandise, but lie says:
"We now have a deal on: Tf you will
buy 100 cases of macaroni and 50
cases of spaghetti, we will give up 3
cases of cheese straws and 2 cases
of noodles free." (He doesn’t tell
you that he has raised his list price
to «,05 a dov. till you get ready to
sign the order.)
Of all messes that ever invaded!
tlie mercantile world, the soap man
ufacturers have got the first claim.
Mr. Jones hops in and says: "We
have n wonderful tree deal on this
week. It will be taken off at mid
night next Tuesday. Until then, we
will sell you 1000 rases of Punks tuff
soap and give you absolutely free, 10
cases of Winskt soap powders and
17 cases of Bike bubbles and 3 cakes
of Complexion Keeper—and dale
your bill tomorrow, less 1 per cent.”

The Federal trade commission
vould do a good days work if it
yould outlaw such practices as out
ined herein. The whole purpose of
hese foolish methods is to over
load the buyers, maintain their high
prices, and possibly make some fool
think that he's getting something
for nothing. Our firm positively re
fuses to “take onto” these bonehead
schemes. We possibly have to buy
stuff that wayt but we pay for it
and then price it as low as possible
to the trade, and then both of us
know what we are doing It is well
to beware or the guy who is always
giving you something.
Health Hints.
One of our social clubs recent !y
discussed “Rural Health and Sani
tation.” It proved to be a very -in*
terestlng subject: in fact-so Inter-'
eating that the president sv^gestetl j
that some member of the organism- j
Mon go to a country school house
and make a talk to the farmers and
their families every' •week—untii
each and every member had clone
her bit in that direction .
Mrs. Golden Brown, the president,
was nominated to make the first
address. Now, folks, Mrs. Brown is
a wonderful woman in many, many
respects, She is educated, cultured,
refined and beautiful, but she war,
born in the city, reared in the city,
educated in the city, loo rich to ever
come in contact with the farming
element who might have peddled
produce at her door or the doors ot
her father land mother, but she
thought she knew' •what to tell the
hay-seeds, so she went to Hepr.iba
school last Friday night and deliv
ered the following discourse to a
large crowd:
The Speech,
"Ladles, Gentlemen and Friends:
Of course I realize that very lew, 1}
any, of you know me, but you per
haps are aware of the fact my hus
band is the president ot the I an
and Trust bank, and also one of the
leading business men of our state,
so in that way, you perhaps realize
who I am ”
“I have been asked to talk to you
on Rural Health and Sanitation.” I
will begin by saying that you should
by all means, eat a balanced ra
tion. For instance, for breakfast, tj
suggest that you have a glass of )
orange juice, waffles with maple
Syrup, toasted lady fingers, potatoes
a la Nuberg. fricasede quail on toast,
liot cocoa or black coffee.”
“I am sure that most you you real-1
ize the Importance of vitlmlns A
and K. therefore for lunch, 1 be
lieve you should begin the meat
with a. cup of toniato juice, then
you must eat sparingly of either
planked shad or broiled western
steak with mush-rooms and French
fried potatoes, next—try a helping of
scalloped oysters with Swiss cheese,
and then finish your lunch with
fruit- salad, ice cream and cake and
iced-tea or hot coffee, just as you
like.”
‘‘For dinner, which by the way,
should be your heartiest meal, you
should eat roast veal with imported
sauce, basted turkey, German sage
dressing, spiced spinach, green peas,
browned salted almonds, macaroni
au Gratin, Italian tubers sic sem
per tyrannls, etched lemon custard
dum spiro spero, giblet sauce with
Poneheron gravy et tu Brute, head
lettuce, celery hearts, Russian tea
or Hotchkiss Sarnac with polinaris
water as a chaser."
"Sanitation comes next. Polish all
bath-room fixtures at least once a
day. Take a cold shower on arising,
but wind up with a very hot plunge.
Be sure to lounge around In a mod
erately cool room till your blood be
comes normal. While out in the
fields, by all means permit the vio
let sun-rays to tan your hide. Be
ware of germs in the laundry, low*
places about the home, and In the
stables, if you have any. Brush your
teeth 3 times a day, drink lots of
water, and avoir drafts. Use your
vacuums cleaners instead of brooms
and scrub floors and walls with an
oil linen cloth. I thank you.” (The
school teacher came around and
awoke all of the farmers and they
went home.)
