HOLDING UP" THE PAPERS.

There is a general complaint among
the press of the country because of the
almost universal custom of trying to
ride willing horse to death by flood
ing the newspaper with free advertise
ments. The public does not realize
that the space in uew paper is that
papers stock in trade. 1t costs money
and a great deal of it to Set the type
and PRINT the paper, and the average
daily newspaper does more gratis work
for the community tran can be had
from any other source This is not o5-
jected to by the manag ment, but ii
has gotten to that point in many places
that free lads" for every little thing
that comes up are almost demanded by
the public. The sooner the press OF
the land puts a stop to this business,
the better for all concerned.

GOOD ADVICE.

The less the North has to say to the
South as to what she shall or should
do with the negro, the better it will be
for both, and mOse particularly for the
negro. We cannot hope to help the
colored people by abusing the South.
There are no nobler natures north OF
Mason and Dixon's line than there are
south of it. Did we have as many
negroes in the North as there are South,
and did they endapger white suprem-
acy, we, too, might take steps to cur
tail the colored mans vote. Back up
Booker T. Washington as much as we
viii, but leave the South to make its
own suffrage laws, as long as they are
not unconstitutional. = The Manu-
facturer.

The municipality of Boston seems to
be one of the most independent IN the
country. Although preponderantly Re-
publican, the Bostonians last week
elected as mayor by large majority
Patrick A.. Collins, Democrat and an
Irishman. Believing that more IN the
way Of good government was to be had
from an experiment with a promising
Democratic mayor thanf from contin-
uance of Republican rule, an intelligent
majority acted upon its convictions,
with the result stated.

The Democrats in the Senate should
be very sure of their ground before
they oppose the canal treaty because it
does not give the United States the
power to ''fortify" instead of "police'
the waterway The Democrats want
TO be right on this treaty, of course,
but Great Britain has given up prac-
tically everything asked by this nation,
and the chance TO get the canal should
not be ieopardized by factious opposi-
ton. There is not much reason for
allowing the Republicans ell credit for
inaugurating this grand enterprise.

GIVE NATURE A CHANGE.

It is well to know if you are sick or half sick, that the natural tendency of all our body functions is toward health. No matter what your ailmsnt is, the life element within is trying to make you well. This wonderful life principle is in the blood and any help you give 1t must be given through the blood.
 Knowing this, and knowing also that when ever a nerve. or tissue or organ is to be built up, nature requires iron. you can see why Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has produced such wonderful results. It gives the working. striving vitality within you something to work with. It gives it ma- te,ial with which to build up xour strength and energy.
 All ordinary forms of iron are ant to do more injury than good, but forty-fiva years ago Dr. Harter discovered a method of so preparing iron that 1t would enter into the blood witAout taxing the system whatever.
 pr. Harter's Iron Tonic consists of this form of iron in combination with other impo -tant ingredients. and for nearIy half century it has restored thousands of people to sound. rugged health. If you feel run down or have any reason to fear. the approach of some serious disease. let this time tried remedy help you It ia certain because it reinforces life itself. Prepared by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co. Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere. Give nature a chance.

 w and SOCIETY
Styles in Lingerie
the PhiladeiphIa Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 The leading novelty of the season, which. early as 1t Is. shows well-defined tendencies, gives us back an article of neckwear which has been displaced for many, many years. True the memory Of woman runneth back to a period when rufhes were worn at the throat. but 1t has been long enough ago to make them appear extremely new"
 Neck rufhing is shown by importers and local dealers In lingerie.
 The rufhing is a welcome change from the Puritanic folded triangles of em- broidered lawn or the stiff and unbecom- ing fold of cambric, which was hem stitched on the edge and looked as If it had been clipped off the edge of pocket handkerchief.
 Chiffon, black and white, point d'esprit, chenille and other materials are blent in some of the rufhes.
 Plain white and plain black ruffies alternate with black and white mixed, gray and white, blue and white, and ecru, eoru and black ruffies. There Is a kind of rufding called the ''rose-petal ruffiing sold in New York, and no doubt our Philadelphia dealers also keep it for the use of their customers.
 Ruffies do not stop simply when they encircle the throat, but often extend quite a distance down the front breadth of the bodice. The rufhes are worn very long.

Parsian Modes for Year

From the New York Times.
 Directoire and Empire gowns are to be the Parisian styles of the year, 1t Is said. Frocks of this cut have been more or less worn for some time, but this new venture is to be something quite different from the modern variations of the short-waist- ed frock which has been seen here before. A league of women has been formed in Paris by the wives of the Bonapartist Society, Petit Chapeau. and they are to wear exact reproductions of the gowns of the past. and, as far as possible, the manners of those days with the old-time apparel. Long coats will cover what will seem eccentricfty on the street, ard in the house there will be nothing to be de- sired. One effect of this style of gown will be that it will revolutionize under wear, and there won't be a sign of a straight-front corset If the Paris fashion is followed to any extent.

Useful to Know

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Tar soap has been highly recommended for skin irritation.
 Light being an element of cheerfulness, as much of 1t as the patient can bear without discomfort should always be ad- mitted to the sick room, care being taken to keep ref1ecting objects, such as crys- tals and looking glasses, out of the invalid's view
 All receptacles for food should, as far can be kept germ and insect free. Glass, pottery and metallic wares are, therefore, preferable to wood. They should have no joints nor grooves, as these harbor minute particles of food. Before placing food in them they should be thoroughly washed, scalded with boiling water, wiped dry and then be allowed to cool. Placing them in the sun, when practica- ble, for a couple of hours, will also add to their purity.
 To prevent soot from gathering in the chimney and range, make brine of common salt and DC UT it over the coals It is said that will keep all parts beauti- fully clean.
 To remove ink stains from paper, brush the paper with feather that has been dipped in a solution of salts of lemon. Two or three applications will cause the stains to disappear.
 A soothing drink for a sore throat that is recommended is made of a pint of barley water brought to a boil over a hot fire. to which is added. while stirring until dissolved. an ounce of the best gum arabic. Sweeten to taste.
