Why not support a modern system which tries to help save you this waste? The elimination of reckless wastes
brings benefits which almost staggers the imagination. "Waste is the root of pauperism.' If the people continue to co
operate with the six Basket Stores, great benefits can be worked out in the distribution of groceries in Lincoln. Boost for
the beneficial system which helps your city.

Our system of charging for deliveries is meeting with favor with people g
who understand it. We keep two delivery wagons of our own busy, daily.
How can those Basket Stores do so much business and still
charge for deliveries and sell for cash? :
People who are observing know that there is no such thing as a free delivery. &
But our system of deliveries gives you the benefit as they are the most free J
deliveries you can get. When you buy groceries we do not charge you with 4
somebody else's wasted drive. You only pay for your own, and you will g
like our system when you understand it. The Basket Stores are always try- j
ing to find methods to reduce the unnecessary high prices. ..

In the western part of the state, where land is very cheap, our repre- g
sentative was told that watermelons could be produced at lc each. That j
mustard seed, from which mustard is made, was considered a pest, g
Skimmed milk is given to the hogs. The Basket Stores are convinced j
that there is a method of reducing the price much lower than we have it 4
at present, if we could get a larger volume of business. . S

We are now just starting to put up Ammonia in bottles, and bluing also. To grind peanut butter; put &
& up mustard in bottles, jugs and glasses; to bottle sewing machine oil; to bottle vinegar. This idea, if our volume
4 keeps increasing, will let us lower the price and know absolutely the quality of the articles we put up, and make the
. quality uniform. y g
I Notes From Doctor Foolish I
g Which do you pay with greater pleasure, your gas bill or your water bill? The Municipal water plant is making us money so that we can eventually use some of it fot
& parks. x Would it not be a better idea for the water plant to raise their price on water, so that there would be more cash rolling into the city treasury from the water plant? ife
k Do the people in Lincoln have confidence in the purity of water as against Omaha's drinking water? Was F. W. Brown correct when he suggested in his speech at the Lin- &
coin Commercial Club, that eventually the gas plant, and the street railway plant should be owned by the city and taken out of politics. If you would own the street car

Would it not be a good idea if the F street park and the Antelope park were improved? Then they would be used more. Is it not a good time now to pay off some
of our bonded indebtedness? . . 1 &
The street car conductors of Lincoln are very courteous. If the people do not think so let them go to the packing house district of Kansas City or crowded St. Louis. &
If the people had one-sixth of the amount of money that is lost and wasted in unnecessary delivery wagons' and credit accounts of the grocery business they could build f

If the people had a newspaper which would publish the news unhampered by the advertiser and unbribed, they would get the truth better, Would it be wrong if the
people of Lincoln owned a little newspaper themselves to send the news out themselves.
Has the ice company been prepared to handle the ice situation in Lincoln? You do not need two ice companies' competing with each
other and making the extra drives. But haven't the people a right to have one ice company that will pay their men enough so the people will

Getting Down to Food Values
SALES!
12 lbs. of beans and 1 1-2 lbs. of cotton seed oil might be purchused for the cost of one chicken. These vegetable foods furnish 20 times
the nourishment of a chicken.' This may surprise some people but it is true nevertheless. People should study the food values of these articles.
Women are sometimes careless and waste their money when they buy. If they will phone Auto 3072 of Bell 767, we would be glad to give
some magazines to read along this subject. French lamb chops cost about 10c each. One writer says that 96c spent for a chicken will purchase
