cash Payments Most Economical.

That it is supposed to be very con
venient thing to have a running account
at store.
That young housekeepers often count
too much upon this convenience and make
unwise purchases because of it.
That these items. small though they may
be, amount UP with appalling rapidity
into n sum that always surpasses expecta-
ton.
That the very best calculators and those
who generally use a wise economy buy
things in this way that they could easily
do without, did they take the time for
reflection that cash payment would often
compel.
That It's an easy matter W hen an article
seems at the time desirable to order it sent
home and have ii charged for the tempta
ton overcomes the buyer before thestrength
which comes from looking at the matter
from all sides enables one toresist the i'm
pulse to buy.
That purchases are often made in this
way and regretted, while something that
was far more necessary must in conse-
Quence be gone without.

and Il realization of the child's point of
view, to make one capable of comprehend

Here is d delicious story Of bright little

rabbit. His father raised many objections,
but finally gavein, saying: well you may

of it, The boy hurried joyfuliy to get
his pet and repeated to his friend Joe his
fathers words. Coming back he FASTENED

that" zoe said there wasn't anything about
his rabbits that would wear off-nou the
fur or anything!'
The children in whom the mentality is

What next? lD1
The annual fancy and figure skating
championships Of the National Amateur As
sociation will be held in the st. Nicholas
Rink, New York city, tomorrow evening.
The event will be made the anniversary of
the first meet Of the kind, held twenty
eight years ago under the management CT
the veteran Frank Swift
The prevailing cold snap has turned the
thoughts OF the local skaters TO pleasures
OF the ice. A big crowd was out on the
"Basin' yesterday, while the Chevy Chase
pond and various others near the city had
their full quota of skaters. Those who
found the cutting north wind too keen,
Pal ace.
Frank Starback, the crack middle dis
tance bicycle racer, is anxious TO meet
Jimmy Michael again and decide definitely
the championship. Michael has recently
declared his intention of returning to
America next MONTH so it is very likely
that the ine n may meet in a series of races
at Jacksonville, Fla, during the month OF
March.
The big six day bicycle race at Chicago,
, which will commence on February %, will
be the most Notable siX-day event the
world has ever seen. Teddy Hale, the Irish
champion, will he pitted against Frank
Waller, the Flying Dutchman, 'the holder
OF the eight-hour siX-day record, while
Rice, Lawson. Ashinger, and other noted
riders will also contest aS 49,

the hatchet, smoke the pipe of peace and
do few other afneable things necessary
to reconciliation. This beautiful state OF
things will pobabIy last until the racing
season opens again.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
FREE TREATMENT.

If q man has "a medicine which
he believes will cure better than
any other medicine, he has a per-
feet right to advertise and sell II.
No matter how illogical "a mans
reason may be who claims to- have
a line of remedies that will cure
where the best doctors fail to-
cure, if the man who sells the
remedies believes all that h e claims,
it is his right TO do so.
When, however, a man who has
a whole host of remedies which
he claims are the very best medi-
cines ever heard Of and that any
one who buys them does not need
the services of doctor at all,
opens an office and hires "A lot
Of doctors and advertises extern
sively that all those persons who
need medicine and advice may re-
ceive the same, together with all
needed treatment, free, the matter
begins to- look little strange. IL
the medicines were what the med
icine seller claimed for them
there certainly is no necessity
for the doctors
This Is not all, for the patient who
OAt- VI III uOStOAs Is
told that his case requires u special
line of medicine, or IL course with IA
spark ma king machine, or that he
must be shut up in a glass case that
has contained all kinds of people with
all sorts of diseases. Then 10 is that
the man with the remedies for sale
proves either that what he claimed
for his remedies was not true or else
that he IL wilIfuIIy deceiving the sick
and afflicted in trying to have his
hired men TO extort money from
them, when they could he cured at Il
much less cost by taking his low

This Is not all il the patent medi-
Gene seller were honest WHEN HE
ADVERTISED To TREAT PEOPLE
FREE HE WOULD TREAT THEM
FREE, AND UNDER NO CIRCUM-
STANCES WOULD HE ALLOW HIS
HIRED MEN TO RECEIVE ONE

VICES. If the doctors he had EN-
pioyed were men of honor, such as
good doctors always are. they would
refuse TO lend their assistance TO d
scheme by which people are b.guiled
into the office under a free offer and
then frightened or caioled into pay

PECULIAR POlSONS

Inc Result OF Imperfect Digestion
of Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal, CON
tains within itself the germs of certain de-

In the human body these germs of disease
and death (called by scientists Ptom ainesi j.
are usually the result of imperfect digestion
of food; the result OF indigestion or dys-
pepsia.

food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments 1.-THE first process of decay
poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak,
and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
Of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidne VS., caus-
ing Brights disease and diabetes
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss of appetite
and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy
compleX Xion.
The great English scientist, Huxley said
the best start in life is a sound stom ach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity Of
digestive acids 0actic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of ofindigestion, is to take
taqAr each meal, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in
a pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stom achs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach

At Our Honest Best.

Take my expert or conscientious
word for it, You man or two who have
unwarrantably slipped in among the
women, for whom these fashion letters
are exclusively written; believe me, /
repeat. that You are just nov getting
the fashionable girl in as nearly a nor
NAL aspect as she is ever likely to show
herself in. What I mean to say is that
she is less distorted and falsified than
at any time within my memory, and
there's good reason to presume that
she is permanently reformed. Scan
her from head to foot. Don't you see
that, unless nearly bald, there is no
other hair than her own on her head?
Don't you see that her chest has lines
which do net greatly tax your creduli-
ty, for there are no palpable evidences
of ~squeezure or bulgation? Don't you
appreciate the skirts that neither hide
her possession of limbs entirely nor OBJ
trude them imnodestly upon your Wis
ion? Don't you dots on her hands
which are gloved 8 easily hat they
q clasp your own with o sensitive,
sympathetic grip; and her feet, which
are not much bigger than her shoes,
and, therefore, do not excite your pity ?
oh, you are getting us at our honest
best this season. Those girls who are
anywhere near to the medium standard
in build are not at this time doina
much to themselves in the way Of de
ceptive appliances, and it happens that
the fashions are reasonable and simple,
so far as shapes are concerned. Mid.
summer madness may lead us into alb,
surdities, but re start out for the re-.
sorts in o condition of admirable sanity.

italian Scenery.

There is an education needed for the

Many people scorn this notion, and a.
there undoubtedly are some with SO fine
an innate perception and discrimina-
ton of the beautiful that they in
stinctively recognize it, anybody may
believe himself to be one of the chosen
few. But the rest of US know that
without the native gift, which nothing
can wholly replace. the eve and taste
require experience and training to com.
prelend and anaIyze the beauties OF
the outer world. There was q time
when I resented as holly as most other
Americans the idea that any scenery
could snrpass u own; / knew that
the Alps We're higher than the Alleghe-
MES, but, beyond that, I thought tina.
where there are mountains, valleys, q
lake, q waterfall, there must of neces-
sity be q view Of the utmost beauty,
without regard to degree. 1t would be
as rational to maintain that a human
being i necessarily beautiful because
possessed Of eyes, nose, and chin; al
most everything depends upon the out
line and the relative proportion and
disposition of the features. The italian
landscape has q classic form and pro-
file; its glowing complexion is due to
