1.-THE unexpected falling off in the re-
quest for staple goods within a month
results in a period of comparative calm
at time when a general revival in de-
mand had been looked for. Wholesalers
report that the volume of business consists
of filling in orders. even Chicago not claim
ing more than to have held its own in vol
ume of goods distributed. Interior mer-
chants continue to buy for nearby wants
only, and in many directions farmers are
too busy with field work 10 supply their
wants at the country stores.
1.-THE continued subsistence of the foods
in the lower Mississippi river valley has
encouraged wholesale merchants In that
region; grocers report an unusually large
distribution of canned goods west and
southwest, and the extreme depression
in pig iron prices is followed by large west
ern purchases. Wholesale dealers an
nounce an increas ed demand for groceries

In caring for an infant from its ear

Many mothers think that the heads

thick growth of hair of fine, almost
invisible down, need little washing.
consequently thick coating as white
as the scalp at first, but gradually
darkening with age, until of an ugly

through this growth the hair must

often the weak little hirsute arrange

THE FAST" YOUNG MAN.
The Duty of Fathers to Portray Him In Vii
True Light.

Inc DUTY OF atnere TO portray Him In Wis
True Light.
II it is said of a man that "he has
seen the world" in other words, is
fast, there is instantly a singular
glamour about him in tire eyes of
young gi,ls-girls as good and pure as
were ever created There is a scent of
danger about such man, and there
are girls for whom danger, even of this
sort, has a singular fascination. The
girls know that these men are bad.
But SO long as they respect me
and treat me as a lady where's the
harm?' SAYS the young woman when
she is called to account for her COM
pany.
las a matter of fact, the exact
things which a man does to earn the
reputation of being fast are neither
known nor dreamed of by the girls for
whom such a reputation has tins CLAM
our. The trouble lies in the fact that
our girls are brought up under a
system which hesitated to call up a
spade by his right name. We are
afraid of offending or of shocking GER
tain fancied sensibilities. whereas, in
reality, we make the greater mistake
of making diamonds out of spades ana
giving our girls a wrong ida of actual
things II is all very well to
he tender in our regard for the feel
ings of our girls, but there is limit,
a point at which discretion becomes a
crime. And that point has been
reached when girls are allowed TO
know and associate with such men all
unconscious of the danger. When
every mother or father, or person with
whom the Luty may rest, classes the
fast man where he belongs, and por-
trays him in his true light, it will be
better for our girls. IL is high time
that some of them should know that
the man who leads anything but a
pure life buys. in every instance, that
experience at a tremendous cost to the
girl who marries him. Edware w.
