ADDING-SUBTRACTING MACHINE
Last week both the banks of Mey-
ersdale added to their already up-to-
date labor es, a new Bor-
rough addinglsublraciing mashine
which will | 1 or and ht the |

eli to & busy bank one must |
gee it in -11. A great number

¥ ir channels A record must be

wndled sep-
.
Before the advent of the machine,
the det ail work -of entering amouuts |
in the ledger and uiiking out deposi- |
tors’ statements was a tiresome and |
uncertain task. All checks had to be |
listed separately and added up vy |
band. All deposits had to be listed |
and added and their totals combined |
with ‘the customer's old balance, |
|
When that was done the total of all |
checks had to oe deducted from tho
sum of the old balance and deposits
to determine the new balance.
With the new Burroughs, this work
is done mechauic..iy, eicep. Lhe «c
tual setting down of the figures o1
the key board. And the balancing of
an account, from - he old bulance on
through checks and deposits to new
La‘ances, virtually handled in one
HLeva in
The operator first feeds the custo-
mer’'s old Luilance into the machine.
Then he sets down the amount of
each check, enters the amount of the
deposit, and afetr taking a spacing
stroke depresses the operating bar |
with the total key down and the coi-
rect new balance is automatically com-
puted and printed in the right-hand
cclumn, The new machine also auto-
tomatically prints the dates opposite
each list of checks and deposits and
without any attention of the operator
cots each in the column in which it
belongs.
another thing it does is to detect
overdrafts instantly, wheher the oper-
ater notices them or not. When the
checks exceed the deposits and the
old balance, the machine automati-
cally locks cud no results can he oh
tained until the lever controlling the
interior mechanism is placed in the
subtract position, when the overdraft
is printed in the proper column with
an “O D” sign in red ink.
With the use of this machine the
books of the First National Bank are
kept more neatly, accurately and ef-
iciently than they could possibly be
kept by hand. The machine cuts out
unnecessary labor and eliminates mis-
takes.
In addition to posting ledgers tic
Burrohghs makes out a mont hly state-
ment for depositors. Each statement
shows all the checks and deposits of
the customer together with the bal-
ance he has in the bang at the end
of the month. Under this system each
customer’s account is kept balanced
all the time and a statement is wait-
ing for him at the end of each month
or at any time he wants it, on five
minutes notice. Moreover he does not
have to bring his pass book to be bal-
anced. Being made on the machine
and checked back with the ledger
sheets—of which they are an exact
duplicate—the statements will be of
course absolutely accurate.

BUT LITTLE ADVANCE
IN CRACKERS
whatever we pick upto read, we see
it—on the street, in the home, if cut
socially, 11s in the air—“THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING.”
Notwithstanding the immense agi-
tation given the increased cost of
foods, ete,, etc., THE SAVING BANKS
IN SAVINGS ACCOUNTS of the peo-
ple that OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER
KNOWN. This proves, the public
is receiving increased wages, salar-
ies, savings, and revenues of all kinds
to more than offiset the increased cost
of living, else they would not be able
' to increase their savings.
The writer has just completed some
research work, on the price we are
receiving today, for cakes and crack-
ind Seda, Oyster and Butter Crack-
ers, Graham and Oatmeal Biscuit, Gin-
ger Siaps, Animals, Lemon Biscuit,
Vanilla Wafers—all bulk cakes and
crackers have advanced-—the manu-
| facture’s price—29.1 per cent, while
all carton or package cakes and crack-
ers remain the same, no advance, so
| lo average the entire product of the
biscuit bakers, there Is an increase
in price, compared with a year ago,
R. G. Dun & Company's
Review, is recognized the world over
as an authority. T1heir issue of Feb-
riary 24th, 1917, in. comparison cof
commodity prices, with a year, ago,
shows the following—a few articles
selected at random. We have extend-
ed the advance in price compared with
a year ago, in percentage:

Cakes and crackers have advanced
the least in price of any article of
food.
With these facts, now, let ug remind
you of another very important mat-
ter. in order that you may be able to
fully realize one of the prominent
po:uts, in considering this matter of
icrcased cost of 1oods.
The late W. O. Atwater, of the TU.
S. Department of Agriculture, Prin-
ciples of Nutrition and Nutritive Val-
ue of food—was, and his works are
now recognized as world authorities
on the relative values of foods. In
arriving at a unit of value in foods,
as a fuel, to yield energy in the forms
of heat and muscular power, he used
calorie.
Frcm the tables compiled by Dr. At:
water, we have selected a few of the
cemmon anticies of food at randoin, i
sliowing the number of calories each |
contain per pound:
Calories contained in pound :

Note what a very small relative val-
ue of food there is mn cabbage, poia-
toes and other items, which, during
the past year have inceased to such
abnormal figures.
If every man, woman, boy and girl

ter systematically, they will not only!
