, Peculiar as it may sound, shopkeepers find that the average person does, not pay a great deal of attention to the correctness, or otherwise of change received over the counter, and in quite a number of instances pick up their purchase®', and go .to leave the premises without whiting for change (remarks the Stratford Post). In one case a few days ago a ma ; n 'entered a shop and made a small purchase tendering a. £5 note in payment. The assistant took about nineteen shillings from the till and this he placed on the counter, but before he had time to get the remaiming £4, the customer had picked up the silver and left the shop, having to be called back fo receive the remainder of his change. There are n»any similar instances which have come to notice, and .which could be quoted. “Cold comfort’s all I offer.”—Roman Fa,ble. Sympathy is not worth milch. Sound advice is better. Take Baxter’s Lung Preserver for colds, Coughs, influenza, and bronchitis. Famous remedy for over 59 years. Gets to the root df the trouble and give®- instant relief.
