Europe in a way that should make
every careful merchant anticipate his
future requirements and protect him

Food, clothing and shelter are the
three prime necessities of mankind,
but foot! comes first. A recent in
cident in the fet:d market serves to
show what may happfcn within the
next few months to prices of many
commodities. The retail m< ( hunt may
get a lesson from this incident which
may be entirely aside from his own
business.

To Make the World’s Blood
Safe For Our Prosterity.
The revelation of th»e extent to which
the social diseases have invaded the
blood of our people, as made known
of the draftees for the army and havy,
portends a race of degenerates in com
ing years unless some successful cam
paign is waged to expel the infections.
This danger Is so threatening that the
nation, through its interdepartmental
social llygi'cne Board. In co-operation
with the health department of the
.state is waging a campaign to arouse
the nation as a body and its people in
the several communities to declare re
lentless war for the effectual driving
out of these diseases.
The wur to make the world safe for
democracy haa shown us the need for
another war to make its people’s blood
safe for their posterity. Americans
cannot hope for a democratic world, a

for and fought for In thin war against

GA. TRAVELERS SPEND
AND SELL BIG SUMS
Editor Periscope: Hero urc some
surprising figures roughly estimated
and open for correction on amount
of money spent in the state of Geor
giu by traveling salesmen. The num
ber of traveling salesmen within the
state of Georgia Is 10,000. They spend
on an average of $5 per day us ex
penses, or $50,000 per day paid nut
all over the state. This la $1,500,000
per month, or $ 15,000,000 per year.
There tire but few corporations or
firms which pay out that amount |rer
year wholly in the state of Georgia.
Now we will estimate each person
selling $50,000 woith of goods. Then
wet will have the grand amount of
$500,000,000 per year of goods sold.
These figures are taken from best in
formation obtainable now.
Very truly yours,
