Matters Pertinent to cresco.

| The several small manufacturing
establishments in Cresco give constant
employment every day in the year to
large number of persons every one
of whom spends among our merchants
and others a large proportion of the
sums earned in wages. A glance
at the different places where such en-
ployment is obtained will show its i'm
portance. We mention it's harness
shops. it's laundry, it's marble works,
its carpenters and builders, its black
smiths shops, its foundry, it's cream
cry, its brick and tile works. it's flour
and feed mills, it's electric lighting
plant, its wagon shops, it's novelty
works, its tow mills, its FaultleSs
grubblng machine works, it's cigar
mandatory, and perhaps other lines
of manufacture which we have over
looked. But the reflective reader and
business man will take note of these
various trades end occupations, of the
number of persons employed by each,
the number OF residences required for
their shelter, the food and raiment
required for their comfort, and they
will further take note of the fact that
all these neceSSaries of every kind are
furnished by the different men in
business in our city, and they will
conceive the Importance of the trade
of these people to the general prosper
ity and business of our city. Each
branch of business enumerated is
small, but the aggregate is large, and
the employees required for them seve-
orally, is likewise large, and though
its operatives in many instances, may
be limited in means, that such means
us the patronage of our people bestowS
upon them comes back in profitable
patronage, every dollar of it. Hence
the Importance to our business men
and merchants above all Others of pat
ronizing and encouraging these various
trades and occupations by encouraging
their patronage and by using their
personal influence in that behalf. In
Illustration, we have a manufacturer
of cigars, e. f. Milton, whose Com
mercial cigar is without superior,
SO SMOKERS tell us. If the various
dealers In the city were selling the
Commercial in preference to cigars
made elsewhere, force of at least
seven more men would be required to
supply his trade. This would mean a
demand for seven more residences, for
fourteen more pairs of shoes, beside
Supplying the needs of the children,
for clothing from the clothiers, OF
dress goods, and domestics, of meat
from our butchers, of drugs and medi-
cines, from the pharmacist, thus all
these will share in the profits of the
trade thus increased, by additional
numbers. Ii for any reason an article
costs trifle more if home made, the
business men should realize that he
gets it all back and more to in an in
crease OF patronage upon which he
can realize a profit.
And so with any other branch of
manufacture than cigars, an increased
use and demand calls for an increase
of labor in that particular field with
the resulting increase in demand for
homes and all their required supplies.

FOR THE WRINKLED NECK.
Rubbing. Stretching and Cold Water
Will Make 1t Smooth Again.

TToui the New 1uTk Juurnal-
The fashion of wearing high tight collars
is responsible for the muddy compiexfons
and frequent headaches of many fashion,
able women. Many prominent society wo-
men are bringing the youthful freshness
back to their necks by following the in
structions of Madam Pote of Carnegie Hall.
who is one of the opponents of health Gull
ture in New York. to whom women listen
attentively. She speaks as one having au-
thority.
Madam Pote has evolved system of ex-
ercise for the neck She declares that if It
is practced regularly ii will overcome the
harm which has been done to q woman's
throat, neck and complexion by the high
collar. She says that the fashiona BILE
stock collar. which is uncomfortably high
and unhygfencally tight, is the cause of
young women having sallow, wrinkled and
old-looking necks. .r
Here are her exercises and what she has
to say about them: The fashionable stock
collars which women have been wearing so
constantly have crushed all the life out of
the muscles of the throat and made them
wtther Up. My first exercise is to bring
these muscles back to their normal activ-
ity. This can be readily done by stretching
the muscles, which will bring to them nu-
triment and new life. Stretch the muscles
by pulling with the fingers. Place the fin
gers of one hand on the upper part of the
chest and the fingers of the other hand
ends all the way around from one side to
the other.
IF the neck is very fiabby practice this
exercise for ten minutes twice a day. Do
not pull too vigorously at first, for If you
do the neck is apt to feel strained and sore.
Stretching the muscles is also an excel
lent remedy for the neck and throat which
are not only fiabby but wrinkled. But 10
iron out the wrinkles let the stretching be
done by the action of the head instead of
the fingers. Carry the head backward I'M
til the face is nearly in horizontal posi-
ton to the body and the base of the brain
touches the top of the spine. Draw the
Jaw forward until the tissues become tense
With the head held in exactly this position
move 1t round cfrclewise from left to right
as far as possible, and vice versa This
exercise will develop the muscles as nature
intended them to be.
THE tight handaging of the neck with
ribbons causes the inactivity of the mus
cles, and their half-dead condition causes
the wrinkles. If systematic practieed
this movement will smooth out the skin
and remove the wrinkles. Thi4 exercise

very just complaint that passengers are
badly treated on some of the street cars,
especially those of the Capitol Traction
Company, which gives such a small mar
gin on the transfers. AS is often the case, a
car is SO crowded that person wishing to
get a seat has to wait for the next car to
come along, and in doing 50 the few min
utes given him on his transfer pass by and
it is refused So the passenger has to pay
