APPOINT TERMINAL
COMMITTEES TO HELP
RELIEVE RAIL TRAFFIC
San Antonio Is Among
Large Cities to Have
Them.
Id id effort to minimize congestion
in railroad traffic the Federal Rail-
road Administration has decided on a
jdan of appointing terminal committees
in large cities it will be the duty of
these committees to study terminal con-
ditions. devise rules and regulations for
handling cars in and out most expedi-
tiously and also give attention to the
movement of freight between terminals.
Eaeb committee will have a member-
ship of not less than three men at least
one of whom shall be a shipper who
will have the same authority as the two
railroad officials on the committee.
To care for this section of the coun-
try. terminal committees are to be ap-
pointed at San Antonio. Houston. Gal-
veston Fort Worth. Dallas Shreve-
port. Little Rock. Oklahoma City. Tul-
sa. Wichita Falls and Waco. Indica-
tions are that the committees will be
named in the immediate future.
In a letter to U. S. I’awkett. secre-
tary and traffic manager of the San
Antonio Freight Bureau. Mat Thelen
director of public service in the Fed-
eral Railroad Administration requested
that he. on behalf of the Southwestern

PI TTING A STOP TO WASTES.
By Painter S. Wells. er
(Copyright 1019 Woods Feature Syn- ly
dicatc. i
It is said of a great mail order house oi
that the saving which has resulted from
grinding into wall paper the trim- hi
mings from the edges of its catalogues w
instead of selling those trimmings to ti
scrap dealers runs well up into six in
figures. That is a considerable sum for st
a single concern to realize on strips of. 01
paper half an inch thick!
Unfortunately for the average retail ai
merchant he cannot sec any such re- ir
suits from small savings. Yet if he tl
could only realize it. $lOO is as much oi
in his pocket as $lOOOOO is to thc t h'
concern which trims its catalogues. And w
the aggregate of a number of small [ w
savings will mean more to nine mcr- f t<
chants out of ten than will $lOOOOO to a n
big business whose capital runs up into If
the hundred millions.
Think of a crisp crinkly $2O bill si
There have been miners fresh from a
gold strike who have lighted cigars with c<
those self-same pieces of currency. You fi
and I regard them as crazy insane si
with suddenly acquired wealth. Y’ct ol
after all. are they not getting more n
out of their wild tricks than arc the n:
merchants who throw away equal tl
amounts by petty wastes? At least the t(
miner enjoys himself! h
Mercantile waste may take a great it
many forms. It is safe to say that
there are examples of waste in all of si
its various forms in practically every t(
retail establishment in the United States w
at this minute.
A striking example of the waste that * a
can go in a typical small retail store ।
is cited in “Keeping Up With Rising
Costs” by Wheeler Sammons. This j S 1
store differs from others only because • c
its owner recognized the waste. The s >
book was published in 1915 when small
wastes aggregated less than they do J*
today with present prices of merchan- j 1
disc and supplies. Let me quote a para- 11
graph from it:
Every Little Bit Counts. J
“Losses from supplies and stock ■ g
worth $439.34 from each clerk’s routine
work were recently discovered by Johu | h
I. Bellaire after he had carefully tabu-1 j|
lated a year’s leaks in his store at Bia-1 c |
ney Mich. By rc-weigbing typical sales I tl
without warning and establishing the si
most economical standards for the use e l
of supplies he found that an eighteen*
dollar-a-week man was destroying prof- sj
its equal to 45 per cent of his wages tt
Overweights in the every day_ grocery R
lines had cost Mr. Bellaire $375.38. For cl
instance his average salesman accord- ©i
ing to estimates based ou the losses f<
fixed by the re-weighing made at ran- o
dom gave away sugar invoiced at $19.50 a
tea worth $7B and coffee \ allied at tl
$58.40. Each man also used about a tl
pound more of wrapping paper a day tl
than was necessary. This loss cost at si
three and one-half cents a pound. $10.92 k
during the year. The use of paper h
bags too large for purchases took $21.84 s;
and excessive generosity with twine n
added $31.20 to the total.” "
A waste which goes on in a great ‘ t
many small stores —though it is usually I t
larking in the larger establishments —is jo
failure tn take advantage of the best • v
methods for getting money out of waste'
paper. A paper baler and a few* min- t
utes work by the janitor or clerk who c
empties waste containers will bring in h
। an extra income that is not to be des- n
| pised. One general store in Indiana s
which does a business of a little over f
$300000 annually collects an average of o
a bale of waste paper every business r
day. With waste paper bringing the t
! prices that it does today the income *
netful by this daily bale is well worth f
while. c
However not all waste comes in over-
| weights paper and twine by any means.
A groat many other wastes are to be 1
found in every department some of i
them where they might be least ex- (
pccte«l. I
Expense Well Worth While. (
Tn one store a serious waste —and one 1
that the management recognized—was in ■
the heavy yard goods department. Here
■ velours velvets tricolcttes and other '
fjood* that <ome rolled on spools were 1
handled. The goods were both bulky 1
and exceedingly expensive. Y’et the be«t 1
display method that had been devised
in tluit store consisted in keeping those '
j rolls of material in the cardboard boxes ।
! | in which they originally came. The
ii waste was both in floor space and in :
soiling opportunity for the goods looked '
: utterly unattract^e and were not sell-
i ' » n ?-
Finally the store manager devised the
plan of putting the rolls on standards
such a** are used to hold wrapping pa-
l»er. The fixtures were designed tn be
1 neat: but they were very inexpensive.
• They displayed the rolls of goo<ls so that
fu-toiners could not avoid seeing them:
I and naturally sale* increased at once
i by leaps and bounds. Incidentally the
' i fixtures made it easier for clerks to han-
-1 । die the bulky rolls.
“ ■ The >.tnre where this incident occurred
ha« an unusually live management. In
» thousands of stores the same sort of
waste is going on right now. For in-«
stance how many store-keejiers put
} women's waists in boxes on shelves in-
I «»tead of displaying thorn where cu»-
' tomer« can seo and f»o inspired to pur-
; chase them? That in nothing but waste
I an<l waste of greater importance than
I mere extravagance with string wrap-
ping paper and the like.
Another store where dry good’ and
8 ready to wear articles are sold has
large-^iz/’d posts occupying valuable
। space. These posts are needed to hold
! up the roof hence they cannot be dis- .
1 pensed with. Yet the menhant who
” owns this store has managed to utilize (
the posts saving in part the apace they (
1 <K’cupy and the fhx»r space surrounding
I IL- has done thi by lianzinz inex-
|. ' pensive coats and suits on the pillar* at
a height where they cannot fail to meet
a the eye of the customer. Instead of be
r nmaning the loss of floor space that
y man has increased his sales by taking
h- : advantage of the po«ts.
(»oes Bark to “Baker's Doien.”
“Good measure” ns overweight* and
»t । over-length* are usually euphemistically
1 termed. i« a tremendous source of lost
I profits. We all know where it exists.
’ It goes back in many instances to the
baker's dozen and other like abuses that
we have seen from childhood. Manu-
(!j facturer* nf scale* and of measuring
• devices have done a great den! of edu-
L national work for which dealers should
be grateful. These manufacturer* in
*elling and attempting to sell their prod-
y f urts have shown how astonishingly large
may be the lom which come* from tiny
WELLS
overages—an inch of one dollar yard
goods or an eighth ounce of chocolate
creams. Often indeed an infinitesimal-
ly small overage will cat up all the
net profit ou a sale and sometimes most
of tbc gross profits along with it.
When the retail merchant proves to
his clerks just how serious this loss is;
when he makes them realize that his at-
titude is solicitude over a matter of
importance and not a picayunish bit of
stinginess; and finally when he dem-
onstrates to them the relation between
their value t* him as expressed‘in sal-
ary and their cost to him as expressed
in overages; then the ijierchant has lit-
tle difficulty in breaking his employes
of the bad habit. Show’ a clerk that
he is wasting merchandise and supplies
which cost half as much as his pay; be
will readily sec that if he puts an end
to his extravaganve he will bo worth
more than his present salary. That at
least has been the experience of mer-
chants who have tried this means of
stopping waste.
Another waste of time and money
comes to the merchant who is so care-
ful of goods ami materials that he loses
sight of the cost of time. The example
of this type in exaggerated form is the
man who saves things “because they
may come in handy some time.” When
the time comes for the hoarded article
to be put to use it costs him more to
hunt up the piece he has cached than
it would to buy the same thing.
A good example of this sort of short-
sightedness in a mercantile line came
to my attention recently. The merchant
who told me about it hud seen tbc
folly of tbc practice and had instituted
a reform in his own establishment.
I>oss on Odd Springs.
Hardware nwrehauts buy small
springs in standard lengths and then
cut them for customers selling the
spring at so much per inch. The end
of the spring—unsold—goes back into
the drawer to await the next customer.
There arc untold varieties of springs
in untold numbers of sixes. Thus in tbc
course of time the hardware dealer ac-
quires a drawer full of odd lengths and
sizes through which he searches every
time a customer wants a spring.
The merchant who told me his plan
had appreciated tbc time waste involved
in repeated searching for he has enough
clerks and business to impress him with
the value of time-saving. Here is the
simple plan by means of which he has
eliminated waste:
When a customer comes in to buy a
spring eight inches long this dealer
tells him : “Wc sell springs in 24-incb
lengths only. You’ll find that wc
charge less for the 24-inch length than
other hardware stores would charge you
for right inches. We'll b<* glad to cut
off right inchrs for you if that will be
an accommodation.” Usually of course
the customer desires to take the whole
thing right along with him. Because of
this plan and because ;>eoplc who buy
short lengths are glad to keep the extra
lengths for replacements this merchant t
has built up an enormous trade in t
springs. Instead of taking five or ten f
minutes for a clerk to sell n few cents’ ।
worth of spring it now taker him less ।
than 30 seconds ns a rule. Think of }
■ tbc saving that this means even if it ।
1 occurs only two or three times daily
I with each clerk.
This merchant applies the same plan
to the handling of n number of other j
commodities. He finds invariably that (
hp enn undersell his competitors because (
of the saving in clerk hire. For in- (
stance he sell* poultry netting in 25-
foot lengths. He saveyall the expense ]
of having two clerks unroll the netting
measure and cut it. The factory cuts j
the netting in the length he buys. Con- (
sequently this dealer’s charge for 25
feet of netting is about the *ame as
other hardware men ask for 18 feet.
How to Deliver Eggs.
A big saving is often possible in ]
parking goods for delivery. Everyone
is familiar with the various devices for
carrying a dozen eggs to a retail cus-
tomer. at the same time saving the cost
of a carton. The body oOhe container
is usually wooden. The top held on by
some wire device is of strawboard. 1
When the delivery man reaches the cus-
tomer’s kitchen lie turns over the
package releases the wire and leaves
th* rggs in the little strawboard tray
taking back with him the wooden box.
Similar devices have saved a great
deal of money for a few large depart-
ment store*. The only reason that their
use has been mainly confined to the
big stores is that those stores are. as a
class more alert for such money-saving
. plan*.
The stores frequently manufacture
■ these devices for themselves; and ont
t set of money-saver* lasts indefinitely.
. They hold glassware or china or other
fragile articles. The boxes are usually
of wood lined and padded. •Hiey are
t divided into compartments of about the
right size and each compartment holds
i a stack of plates one stem-glass or
r» something of the sort.
.: Thore is a saving in barrels or boxes
in which such merchandise is still coni-
1 monly packed. There is also a saving
n in excelsior nails and other supplies
f And. as this new packing is much more
. there is also a saving of time
t above that required for the old-fasb-
i- ioned kind of packing. While it may
take a little more of the delivery man’>
' time to unpack the boxes instead of
r leaving them as lie did the old-fashioned
n boxes and barrels the net saving is
j. considerable as any merchant can realize
i who handles this class of goods.
d* Another common waste comes in tbc
delivery department. Intelligent sebed-
c tiling of delivery vehicles—aven though
d the store uses but one or two of them—-
. is bound to effect a considerable gain
n ! One merchant had allowed his delivery
' equipment to be run in a haphazard
y । way. One truck went north and west;
o ’ a second went south: a third went east
। That was practically all the ownci
c- knew about how his three vehicles were
it being lined.
?t When his attention was directed to
p this waste he worked out h form of
it routing each truck on each trip and
ig instructe<l the shipping clerk how to
schedule trip*. Al>out tw«» weeks later
the shipping clerk reported to him that
id none of the trucks had enough to do.
|v After a little investigation he (»old one
st truck and divided the trade territory
a equally between the two others. Deliv-
ie pries are more satisfactory to his rus-
at tomers than they were formerly. The
u- dealer is pocketing as net profit the rx-
ig fHnse of running the third truck a* well
u- as it* original cost. While so great
Id a saving is not possible in many cases
in accurate scheduling will nearly always
d- tell the manager how he can effect
re some worth-while economy.

Apply Pepsin
Every Day to Your Teeth
All Statements Approved by Dental Authorities
DENTAL SCIENCE has proved that the great tooth wrecker is a slimy film.
You can feel it with your tongue. Most tooth troubles are caused by it. It
clings to the teeth enters the crevices hardens and stays. And teeth will
discolor and decay where that film stays however much you brush them. That is
why millions of tooth brush users fail to save their teeth.
That film is what discolors — not the teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth
to cause decay. .... . .
Millions of germs breed in it They with tartar are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Scientists have for years sought ways to combat that film but the methods proved
inadequate. Then one man after extensive research applied activated pepsin —a di-
gestant—to the film. And many clinical tests seem to clearly prove that he solved
this great film problem.
We ask you to see for yourself. This pepsin method is employed in Pepsodent
and we offer a 10-Day Tube. See what it does when you use it. See the results in ten
days. It will show you a way to clean your teeth as you never have cleaned them before.
Analysis shows that the film is albuminous. Pepsm digests albumin.
The object in Pepsodent is to dissolve the film then to constantly combat it.
But pepsin alone is inert. It must be activated and the usual agent is an acid harmful
to the teeth. So pepsin long seemed forbidden.
Now a harmless activating method has been found. And that method used in Pepso-
dent makes efficient pepsin possible.
Able authorities have proved Pepsodent by convincing clinical tests.
It has been adopted and is now endorsed by leading dentists everywhere.
It does what nothing else has done and everyone should use it.
We urge you to prove it yourself. Ask us for a 10-Day Tube.
Look at your teeth and. see what it does. See how they glisten.
Do this for your sake and your children’s sake.
