FOUR THE SANDUSKY STAR-JOURNAL TUESDAY, SEPT. 4, 1917, Music A PAGE FOR WOMEN Art society EASY TO SAY, "CHARGE IT," BUT CREDIT SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK FOR ECONOMY IN DAILY BUYING who had purchased it, and listen, my friends, to the very simple method by which he determiaed to secure his pay. He charged it to each of seven- customers who had large charge accounts, telling the 'book-keeper that those who had nat bought it would object and ask fof a correction the bill. Now ihe point of the story is that five out of the seven customers paid for the ham without a murmur. This naive little story of the clever method of getting full pay for the ham, is a revelation of the careless- llth of July; why that was the day ness and extravagance and waste of I spent in fiort Clinton.

I wonder some of the customers, and a change who ordered those?" And then BY MOLLY LEE. 0 you check up your grocery bills? Not just glance over them casually, but actually look at the various items and ascertain whether they are correct? Supposing you settle your grocery bill the first of the month and in some Incomprehensible manner it seems to haye stretched out into an interminable length--pages of items there are--sugar, eggs, tomatoes, prunes, olives, butter, watermelon, quarts of berries on the necessities and plan to have- a rice pudding or some other plain dessert in place of luxuries. Some one has called the Americans "economical illiterates" and we do not like the sound of the title very well, but are we ignorant of economy as it should be practiced? It is never too hto to learn. further down the list "Why, there's two watermelons on the same day! Let's see--the 19th--0 yes, that was the day the girls bad that little "Sometimes it is a simple matter to check back--and sometimes it is almost an impossible matter to do so, and the grocer gets the benefit of the doubt, because the evidence is all on his side. There is the charge and probably you have no record of it, unlees you have carefully preserved the shps.

You intend to be very careful and have every one kept to refer to, but someHow there is so often one or two missing and invariably the very ones you need most to verify the charge. The necessity for cutting down expense, which will eventually abolish to an extent the delivering of goods, will perhaps force the housewife to do the marketing for the family a basket and money in her purse, instead of over the telephone and a bill at the end of the month. Strange as it may seem the cash system is not especially popular with tradesmen and one of them, it is related in an article in "The Forum," tells of an incident which occurred in his business which illustrates the advantage to which the "charge it" system may be turned. He said a customer who bought a large ham costing upwards of four dollars, had it put into the auto, and took it home. Failing to charge it at once the clerk was unable to tell will only come about through the intervention of as grim a spector as that which has hovered over the people of Germany.

When the government says just what the people shall be permitted to buy and how much they may purchase there will be no chance for these little episodes to occur. Not many people in Sandusky could be persuaded so easily to pay for any purchase of merchandise amounting to nearly five dollars which they never ordered--nor are there grocers here who are carrying on their business in fc this way, but the "charge it" system is oJten the first step toward over-buying, which is another name for extravagance. It is far easier to charge luxuries and out-of-season fruits aid vegetables than it is to pay cash for them and the telephone has proven a great incentive toward investing in articles which are not absolute necessities. There may be many things which are needed, and if they are to he paid for from the amount in the small change purse, it will not be possible to peaches or and have enough left for the laundry soap, the pair of shoes for Jim, the share to be assessed for the club outing and the Red Cross annual dues. If the "charge it" system is the one followed, the necessities--as well as the melons and put on the bill.
