? Amsterdam, April 15. ? Thousands of
jwtxons gathered irt the streets of
Prague, capital of Bohemia, on Sat
? urday, denounced the Germans and
cheered the entente and President Wll
sou, says a dispatch from that city
to the JA>lcal Anzelger of Berlin.
All the Czech members of the par
liament and party delegates, together
with Klovone and Betfbo-Croat delegates
met in the town hail and adopted a
manifesto. The crowd gathered in
the streets outside the hail in support
of the policy of tho delegates. The
principal demonstration occurred at
the close of the meeting. The feeling
against Foreign Minister Czerniu was
shown by the shoiltw of disapproval
with which his narao was greeted. The
crowds dlsj>ersod singing anti-German
songs. ,
? A conference of representatives of
? nil Cxech parties at Dux, the dispatch
says, unanimously opposed the estab

Fair and even moderate prices of

abnormal conditions ara ao greatly in
creased over prices which ware stand
ard a year or two yeara ago that many
housekeepers whose family purses
have not been> fattened In ^portion i
to the advance In prlcee'are experienc
ing difficulty in providing, even with
rigid economy, the necessities of life,
and many othere are stretching the
weekly or monthly allowances ever
these nerlods only by taking advan
tage of every opportunity to save.
The retailers are, as a general rule.
; selling at prlcee which give them no
more than a reaaonable profit above
coat aad expeases of operation to
which they are entitled; but oae of
the big Heme figured la cost la the ex
pense of credit and delivery/ Thle ex
pense is of course greater In larger
centers, but even, In the email 'com
munities it f a a factor which* con
tributes to making food aad foodstuffs,
Already dear, even dearer to the con
sumer.
Any plan whereby the retailer may
be enabled to g3ll food products even
a fraction cheaper wlthoi^t cutting Into
the reasonable profit to wjhlch he is
entitled and which he must 'necessar
ily have to maintain himself In busl
ness, will, undoubtedly, be welcomed
by b>tl| the retailer and the consumer
everywhere; and the "Caofc ap? Car
ry" plan, which la being employed in
Jptto of the larger cities of the coun
try- would appear to. comcneud . itself.
The "Caah aad Carry'* plan? which
la simply the doing away with deliv
eries so far n* that is practicable,
ghd paying cash? not ally eliminates
the one expense of delivering one's
goods at bis kitchen door, bat also
:the mere considerable expense of
book-keeping, credit and collections,
of which the greatest is that of credit,
einco that terim always implies a cer
tain percentage of loases. which must

business very long. In other word*,
the man who doee not pay Ills Mtl pen

' It would appear that In any com
munity the retail merohants would
willingly give their customers ? the
benefit of these coats ? of delivery aad
credit? cutting down the prices of
food products, if they might have the
cooperation of their customers on the
"Cash and Carry" plan, which would
mean th&t the cuetomer would either
"call at or send to the store, pay cask
' for the goods /purchased, and carry
the goode home with him. In the
handling of heavy gedts there must,
of course., he deliveries made.
As an example of what saving can
be effected through the "'Cash and
Carry" plan, one of the largest dairies
' in the United States operates 186 qiilk
stores or depota In New York City.
This big dairy corporation recently
advertised what la termed "the bigger
service," and announced that on April
lit the "Cash and Carry" plan would
becpme operative. To all those who
oarry their containers to any one of
the 1S5 milk stores, milk is stold at 10
cents a quart, for cash. If the milk is
delivered, aa the corporation is willing
to do if that should be preferred, the
-prlee-for-tho game jrrade of milk la
14 cents a quart. Through the "Cash
and Carry" p'an the consumer saves
four cents a quart.
" Another system of -food? stores In.
rthe metropolis, operating on the "Csth
and Carry" plan, will, on each one
dollarts 'worth of goods purchased,
give the customer 14 cents either In
cash or In additional goods, if the cus
tbmer-wlll oarry his purchases with
Mb and hnVe the stores the expense

Week Assert Dealer*.
This Is n tip automobile dealers uie
passing to prosi>octivo purchasers.
\For Vach week you potftponu the
purchase ? ?f a velvety limousine, a
chummy roadster, trim tiwn ear, an
ever ready runabout or even a much
ridiculed flivver it is going to oost
you $1 or. more. ,
The $1 estimate is conservative,
the dealers say, f^r the cost of motor
cars Is going to soar higher and much
more rapidly for the remainder of
the war than it did during the last
. v
two years.
That is. if the war lasts another
year, the minimqm increase in the
eo*t of practically every make will
i>e $.">L\ The eftauees are, s/iy tha
dealers, the Increase will "be $100.
If the war bust* two years, the in
'.crease wilt amount to l>etween $100
*iwl $200 ? ?]x>rhaj>s more.
The longer the war lasts the more
frequently prices wl\l be marked up,
and "flivvers" at $1,000 is not a re
mote possibility. assert the* dealers.
\ li> Europe the price of cars has
doubled and trebled in some sections.
In other parts, the price is altogeth
er prohibitive, and in some sections
motor c ars sue 'not obtainable at all.
It is certain that the price of (?rs
in the I'nited States will not be as
cheap within the next four or Ave;
years as it is today, assert the deal
ers. Production is being reduced,
creating a shortage of cars ami trucks.
The war is making excessive demands
upon the motor industry and at the
same time is cutting down the out
put; by the conversion of factories*
into Avar plants. The cost of labor
Irns soared. The quautity of available
materials has shrunk, and consequently
the cost of these essentials has risen
high. And? here is one of the prin
cipal reasons ? Americans arc so pros
perous that everybody wants a car
when the sivpply is limited.
So, say the wise dealers, if you are
golnu to buy a car during 1918,!
1010. or oven if your plans go as far
ahead as 1020 It is safer and cheap
er to buy now.
