TO THE MERCHANTS.
Do You Know Where You Are at
and WHY.

anu hHgs
Do you know that the dear dollar of
plutocracy (gOldbugs) means ruin for
you and for commission men?
Do you know the difference between
static and variable expenses?
One rarely varies, is stationary,
whether the dollar is dear or cheap.
The other varies with the amount Of
money in circulation. Let US show
you:
A man raises 100 acres of wheat.
The yield is 1000 bushels, or 81 900 at
81 per bushel. He pays his static ex-
penses Interest, taxes, insurance, pro-
fessional services, etc., with $500 40
per cent?, and you get $500. The job
Der and manufacturer get all their in
come from that $500, as do also all vii
lage and city interests.
Now, reduce the wheat to 40 cents
per bushel. The 100 acres produces
S4OO. Static expenses still takes its
$4OO. What does the jobber, the manu-
factory, the merchant get?
What matters it that $40 articles now
cost but $14?
II twenty million laborers get an
average of 81 per day instead of two.
where does the profit of the merchant
and landlord come in? Whose battle are
you fighting?
Less wheat is produced than in the
twelve years past. More is exported.
Worlds crop decreases. Eighteen mil
lion more home market mouths. Price
one-third. And you have lost twenty
millions under this kind of "protec-
ton" Cotton, corn and beef the

II have never opposed money of
banks; not Of those discounting for
cash, but of those foisting their own
paper in circulation and thus banishing
our cash. Ny zeal against these insti-
buttons was so warm and open at the
establishment Of the United States that
l was derided as a maniac by tribe of
bank mongers who are seeking to
fitch from the public, thus swindling
on barren grains. But the errors of
that day cannot be recalled. The evils
they have engendered are now upon US,
and how are we to get out of them

AS 1T is MADE INITALY.
New York BakeshopS Where Mac aronl
Is Prepared for the Restaurants.


Macaroni is largely made by ma
chinery in this country, but there are
still the little Italian bakesh obs
where the tubular paste is prepared
by hand much as it was in those old
days when the Sicilians got their GUS
toms and traced their blood to the
maritime Greeks. In a certain small
bakery in Blocker street, the proprie-
tor of which comes from Genoa and
bears a historic name, you will see
the succulent cylinders turned out
with a simplicity which smacks of the
hand mill and the wheat mortar stage
OF bread making.
Tables are set in front and the
show window is deckes with the most
tempting CONNECTIONS of Roman taste;
but there is larger room in the
rear, and there you will find two
Italians with barred arms grinding
and cracking the hard Dakota wheat,
sitting it with a revolving screen to
separate the broken kernel from the
bran, and kneading the mass with a
stout wooden block until it is like
paste.
The wheat has been carefully
washed at the start, and if the day be
fine, dried in the sun. After it has
been broken up and thumped for an
hour the dough is taken out and
placed in a cylinder with a perforated
bottom. A plunger is placed on top
of the cylinder, and the whole Gyalla.

around them, is transformed into
hollow tubes in exactly the same way
that the housewife shapes her dough-

IN a new forestry bill now under con.

to payment at daily rate not greater
than $3.50 per day, or proportionately

Happiness IN q Southern Mans Home
Tells About the Red Flag Of
Danger at the Railroad Cross
ing-Warning to Americas


Men.
For twenty-six years I have used
tobacco in great quantities and q late
years took to cigarette smoking, writes
Mr.. W. E. Simpson of Lecompte, La
i want to go on record that tobacco
has robbed me Of many years Of life and
great deal Of happiness. 1 realize II
now as compare my feelings and my
condition with that OF a year ago,when
l was a tobacco saturated cigarette
fiend. Many and many a time did l
try to quit smoking myself into etern-
ity, but l could not put through a day
without suffering extreme nervous tor
ture, which would increase hour by
hour till finally, to save myself as 1t
seemed, from almost flying to pieces,
had to light the little, white pipe stick
and swallow the smoke. One day l
read in my paper Don't Tobacco Spit
and Smoke Your Life Away" just what
L was doing, it came to me like the
warning Of the man who waves the red
flag Of danger at the railroad crossing,
and said that No-To-Bac was an abso-
lutely guaranteed relief from tobacco
slavery. l did not believe it, but like a
drowning man grasping at a straw I
commenced taking No-To-Bac. The eff
fects were magical, it destroyed the
nerve craving, and desire for cigarettes.
Two boxes, would you believe it, made
me well and strong. 1 have gained
mentally, physically, in vigor and man.

nicotine and a breath no longer be-
fouled with tobacco smoke am so hap
Ply to-day to write NO-To-Bac did it all
year ago, so the cure is time tested
and tried, not only in my own case, but
several of my friends who have been
also cured.
I'VE have baby boy now. My wife
and l feel that all this happiness start
ed from the time when 1 first used No
To-Bac, and in evidence of our appre-
citation and in order that the memory Of
the happiness may be perpetuated in a
living form, we want to name our baby
boy after the man who wrote the line
Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your
Life Away"
"No-To-Bac ispopular hereand all our
druggists sell it. Hardly a day passes
but somebody asks me about No-To-
Bac, so don't want you to hesitate to
use these lines in any way that you
think will make known to suffering hu-
manity the happiness that there is in
store for the many men with nicotin-
lied brains and weakened resolutions.
If they will only make up their mind to
save the waste of vital power-to say
nothing of the money-now going up in
smoke and out in tobacco spit"
