Why do we have more out-of-town
customers than all other houses put to-
gether?
Must be reason for it. There is.

lower than you buy them elsewhere.
This is the way we built up the business.
You can't get poor goods here. We
don't keep that kind,
Our Mail Order Department is the
very best. Not a day but what we re-
ceive orders from all over the state. Just
now we are selling through our Mail
Order department.

Rural Free Delivery in Sight.

The house committee on pOstoffices has
made favorable report on the Sperry
bill for rural free delivery. This pro-
ject differs from the general rural free
delivery proposition, in that it depends
on the petitioning of one or more per-
sons for each town, and the cOmpensa.
ton of the carriers or collectors is to be
derived from private agreements be-
tween them and the citizens served. 1t
Is like the old penny post system.

Rapid Fire."
New York Post.

IT,.
The terms "rapid-fire" and "quick-
firing" guns, SO frequently seen in the
press reports Of naval affairs, do not
convey to the ordinary person any ade-
quate idea of the Improvements that
mechanical ingenuity has effected in
ordinance in recent years. While rapid
and quick-fring guns are the smaller
weapons of battle ship, they are
not the diminutive affairs that they are
ordinarily considered, as the improved
methods of breech mechanism and
loading have been introduced In the
case of 6-inch guns, which throw 100
pound projectile. The saving in time
and ease of manipulation is effected by
using fixed ammunition, in which shell,
powder and primer are united. The G.
FOUNDERS, of which there are numerous
types, can discharge with accuracy
twenty to twenty five shots per min.
ute, number which can be raised to
thirty or thirty-five, lfaccuracy in aim
ing the piece is dispensed with. From
the 5-inch rapid-fre guns thirty-si x
ehots have been fired in five minutes
and as each of these projectlles Is seven.
ty pounds in weight, the effects can be
readily understood.

The Mad Dog Bugaboo.

In the June Ladies' Home Journal
Edward w Box writes on "The Bug
aboo of the Mad Dog quoting num-
Der of authorities to show that there is
no such disease as Encyclopaedia" and
inquiring if cit is not time therefore,
in view of these indisputable facts,
that we should give ourselves little
more freedom from this bugaboo OF
the mad dog? What the newspapers
so essentially report as cases of hydro
phobia' are, in reality, nothing more
nor less than instances of people who
have been bitten by dogs and trighten-
ed into hysterical conditions in which
they involuntarily reproduce all the
supposed symptonas-of 'hydrophobia.'
It is pity that our newspaper editors
cannot haye a more careful regard for
the feeling OF women during the sum-
mer months and agree to suppress the
reports Of cases supposed to be hydro
phobia.' They make the public mind
nervous, aud do more to spread the
silly notion of a belief in 'hydrophobia'
than anything else. Women have had
their feelings played upon long enough
by this foolish notion OF 'hydrophobia,'
and enough unnecessary suffering has
been inflicted upon the dog, who is Of
ten killed for nothing but popular
fallacy 1t Is high time that common
sense should rule that we should be-
lieve the fact that there is no such
thing as 'hydrophobia,' and rid our
selves of this bugaboo of the mad dog" !"

Eggs as Food.

Selected.
Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third OF an egg is solid nutrl-
ment. This IS more than can be said
of meat. There are no bones, no tough
peices that have to be laid aside. A
good egg is made of ten parts she'll,
sixty parts white and thirty parts yolk.
The white of an egg contains 66 per
cent. water and the yolk 50 per cent.
Practically egg is animal food land yet
there is none of the disagreeable work
of the butcher necessary to obtain it.
The vegetarlans of England use eggs
freely, and many OF these men are
ninety years old, and have been re-
.markably free from sickness. Eggs
are best when cooked four minutes !;
this takes away the animal taste, which
is offensive to some, but does not hard
en- the white or yolk so as to make
them difficult to digest. An egg if
cooked very hard is difficult of diges-
tlon except by those persons possessed
of stout stomachs such eggs should be
eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast is fit
for king-lf kings deserve better food
than anybody else. Fried eggs are
much less wholesome than boiled ones.
An egg dropped into hot water is not
only a clean and handsome but deli
cious morsel. Most people spoil the
taste of their eggs by adding pepper
and salt. A little sweet butter is the
best dressing. Eggs contain much
PHOSPHORUS, which is supposed to be
beneficial to those who use their brains
much.

Don't Throw Land Away.

Selected.
It is mistake to let the pastures
grow up to mixture of brush and
worthless wood. The owner should de-
eide at once whether 1t is worth while
to clear it off for pasture. If not let
him do the next best thing, which is
either to plant it in orchard trees or
some valuable timber or nut trees. A
field of pitch pines for instance, al
though it will not mature for 40 years,
will even when half grown cause Nhe
land to sell for much more than il left
to brush, says one OF our exchanges.
Apple trees can be grown on such
land, although it is rather slow work.
But anything profitable is better than
the mixture af scrub oak, brush and
berry bushes usually found on such
land.
