credit ratings.
There are few business men or
firms having a long and extended
experience who are not at some
time in their career placed in posi-
tions, for reasons beyond their
control, when they are obliged to
ask for and accept financial fa-
vors, either from their creditors or
the banks with whom they do bus-
iness, writes D. C. Delamater in
the Interstate Grower. Under
such conditions those with a dear
record and with a high reputation
strict honesty, and whose word
in business matters has always
been unquestioned, have an ad-
vantage and are possessed of a
capital aside from material assets
which can hardly be measured in
dollars and cents. Among the
many changes in trade during
the past few years there are per-
haps few in which the changes
have been so decided as those
which have taken place in respect
to credits and credit methods.
Formerly capital ratings were
first consulted, and if the amount
named seemed to be sufficient for
the business, credit would be
quickly given though lacking in
the other requisite, now so dssir
able. At the present time char
acter and a reputation for truth
fulness and strict integrity are
given greater prominence, both
by our commercial agencies anc
credit men, and often those just
starting in trade who are long on
a good reputation and aotually
short in cash resources are in a
much bettA position to secure
credit than those who have moie
cash but a reputation for beinj
sharp and tricky, and whose won
must always be taken with a cer
tain amount of allowance. In
time of financial troubles or tem
por&ry embarrassments the hon
est man has a decided advantage,
and credit man can point to many
cases in their experience where
the man Who can be believed and
Who is known to be honest has
for these very reasons been able
to secure favors and accomoda-
tions which has resulted In sav-
ing a business to its ownsr. Those
who havs been engaged in trade
for any length of tims understand
the value of a good oredit and
cherish their business reputation
as of value beyond prioe. Con
sequentiy to the younger men
just starting in life and building
up a business, a word of advice
and cauUon may not be out of
placs. This would be, first of all,
look well to your reputation and
so conduot yourself that in time
your word will always be consid-
ered as good as your bond, if not
better. Work to ground yourself
in the principles of strict honesty
and thereby gain a reputation for
it, and then never - betray the
confidence placed in you for these
reasons. Many young man are to-
day able to secure oredit and aid
to building up a business even if
working on a limited cash oapital
who are knowh to have thess
desirable requisites when others
who are lacking in them find it
very hard to secure a foothold
and often fail of success.
A good credit in business is of
the greatest importance, and
those who are aiming to secure
it should bear in mind that while
actual oash Is dssirabls and ne-
cessary in the present changed
conditions of oredit-giving a good
reputation is still more important
iand should beoarefully guarded.

Fixed It (or SO Cent*.
A New Yorker has introduced at
home a London custom which he
hopes will be adopted. "As I left
the house after dinner the other
night," said the man who called at-
tention to the innovation, "the man
with me handed to the butler as he
went out a visiting cord, together
with a 50 cent piece. I was sur-
prised at the proceeding, which was
quite unfamiliar to me, and asked
him what it meant. He explained
that the butler would deliver his
card to the hostess some day, when
she returned to the house, with the
information that its original owner
had called. In that way his social
obligations following the dinner
were discharged without even the
trouble of seeing to the house."
Te Test Wall Papers,
Arsenic is very often present in
the pigment used for wall papers,
and as every one knows, if one coV-
crs one's walls with a paper contain-
ing deadly poison one's health must
suffer. It ia important, therefore, to
select wall papers which do not con-
tain arsenic, and the method of test-
ing them is simple in the extreme
Take a piece of paper and light it,
and if arsenic be present you will
notice an ordor like that of garlic.
Do not inhale the smoke. Another
way of testing the paper is to pour
over it a little diluted hydrochloric
acid. If the greens in the pattern
become blue in this treatment it is
because they contain srsenic.
Couldn't Reciprocate.
Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton, whose
name was somewhat prominently be-
fore the public a few years ago, was
recently conversing with Harry
Lehr, a Baltimore society man
whose somewhat sedate manner was
not altogether to her liking. Anx-
ious to get rid of him she snapped
out: "Now, trot along, Mr. Lchr.
you are altogether too ladylike."
The Baltimorean bowed courteously,
and moved away, saying: "I am
so sorry I can't say as much for you,
Mrs. Drayton."
