EIGHT HUNDRED MILLIONS 4
YEAR FOR FREIGHT.

lido not know that many are aware
that the annuel freight bill Of this
country amounts to more than $500,
900, 600 year. It is tax, and the
most burdensome tax which this
country knows, upon our industries
and upon production. It's meaning
brought home, is that each family il
the States pays on the average 800 for
freight alone. If Commissioner
Wright's statistics are correct that
the average income of each iaborer in
this country is $500 a year-then each
head of family must set aside on
the average the result of a month
and hart of toll to pay his share of
it here. The people Of the west have
learned this economic lesson we'll.
They have seen their wheat carried
over the Great Lakes at an average
charge Of less than one mill per ton
mile, when the railroad rate from
their farms, was from a cent to cent
and half per ton mile. They know
that if all the freight in the United
States could be carried as cheaply as
wheat 10 from Duluth to Buffalo this
burden would be cut down to one
tenth Of what it is now
Such considerations as these ought
make it plain, even to a Wayfarer or
to a congressman, that the freight
question is worth little attention.

Two farmers were once discussing
their local paper. One thought it had
too many advertisements in it. The
other replied: Gin my opinion the
advertisements are far from being
the least valuable part Of it. I look
them over carefully and save at least
five times the cost of the paper each
week through the business advan-
tages I get from them" Said the
other: ''I believe you are right
know that they pay me we'll and rath
or think it is not good taste to find
fault with the advertisements after
ALL" Those men have the right idea
of the matter. 1t pays any man with
a family to take good local paper
for the sake of the advertisements if
for nothing more. And if business
men fail to give farmers a chance to
read advertise ments in tne local pa
per, they are blind to their own inter
ests to say the least of it. 'You never
trade with me-" said a business man
to a prosperous farmer, You have
never invited me to your place of
business and I never go where | am
not invited; might not be welcome"
was his reply.

PRICE OF SUCCESS.

In these days of hurry and strife for
the first place in the race OF life it is
even more important than in former
years Chat a man be diligent in his
business and look after it's every de-
tail closely. In some respects it may
be harder for a young man, or,in fact,
any man in business to make great
success, because of the competition
that has to be met. 1t needs men who
will not give up for anything to battle
against this competition. Close at
tention must be given to the slightest
details, and everything has to be
done carefully. The cost must be
measured in every transaction. APP
plication is necessary if you would
attain the best results. Look out for
the little things. They do not seem
to account at the time, but every
item helps to count up on either side
of the balance sheet. By that it is
not meant that one should be close,
but he should be careful. All lines of
business must be run Systematically

will not do to let one thing after
another pile up until one is literally
showed under. It is best to go thor
ough with everything. in a systematic
manner. Take up each item i'll it's
regular order and work while you
work. Recreation that is taken when
you are conscious that you have done
the work of the day faithfully is al
ways sweetest. Always be on the
lookout for chances to i'm prove meth
DDS in business and keep up with the
times in all lines. There are new ar
ticles coming up continually. Some
of them possess meriG and some do
not. 1t is a study by itself to find out
which to handle. Much may be gain
ed or lost in this respect. There are
numerous ways in which business
must be watched. One must love the
business he is engaged in and seek to
make it all that it should be, The
mark of excellency cannot be placed
too high. Reward for his labo~s is
sure to come to the diligent man.

Public baths, if one may Judge from a
report recently published in England,
are not always, as one would natural
ly suppose, conducive to public health,
Professor Raginsky, who has issued
the report, has been investigating the
condition of the water in severalpub-
lie baths, and the result is some
thing appalling. Before any one emit
erd the water it was, he said, so full of
microbes that it hardly seemed posi-
BILE that one more could find room.
But twelve hours later, after
about two hundred of all sorts and
conditions of bathers had been in, it
contained no less than ninety thous-
and germs TO the cubic centimetre
and the germs were of distinctly
unpleasant character.
