fierman Thoroughness A decalogue of German commerce contains the following precepts :In all cases keep in mind the interests of your own compatriots. Never forget when you buy a foreign article. your country is the ' poorer. Your money shattld, profit no one but Germans. Never profane German fsaiitories by using foreign machinery. Never allow foreign eatables to be served at your table. Write on German paper, with a German pen, and use German blotting paper. German flour, German fruit, and Lerman beer can alone give your body true German energy. If you do not like the German malt coffee, drink coffee from German colonies. T'se only German clothes for your dress and German hats for your head. !.et not foreign flattery distract you from these precepts, .and be firmly convinced whatever others say, that German products are the only ones worthy of citizens of the German Fatherland.
