Baker, Hanna’s “Cash to All” policy is proving its worth to the
community. By7buying for cash and selling for cash, we are
able to pass over to our customers Merchandise with only a fair
margin of profit, when if we carried big credit accounts, we
would be forced to add that per cent caused by bad accounts and
increased overhead expense, to our regular profit.

This is one of the points recent-
ly brought to public notice by S.
M. Williams, who has been mak-
ing some investigation of the
spread of illiteracy in sections
where roads are in bad shape.
He reports his investigations
are showing that, in 1909, the
percentage of improved roads in
New England was 22.2 and the
percentage of illiteracy was only
1.7. On the other hand, the South
Atlantic States with only 6.7
per cent. improved highways,
showed an illiteracy four times
as great in the rural districts as
compared with the cities, while
in the New England states it was
only 1.4 as great. Only white | Rapid Calculation, Money and

according to Doctor Sadler, of
Chicago, the time is coming when
folks with sound organs will

SPITTING

PNEU-
Public health officials of New
York have come to the conclu-
sion that the spread of throat
and lung diseases is due chiefly
to promiscuous spitting in public
places. More than 500 persons
in New York died from pneumon-
ia during one week recently, and
the ordinance against spitting on
the streets and in other public
places is now being enforced rig-
orously.
A CHILD PARALYSIS WAVE
Dr. Simon Flexner, director of
the Rockefeller Institute for Med-
ical Research, declares he is
more or less fearful that infan-
tile paralysis may be more wide-
spread in the United States next
summer, but there may be, per-
haps, not so much of it in the
Eastern states.” Doctor Flex-
ner asserts that it now is possi-
ble to say the disease is infectious
and contagious, and is caused by
