She went to photograph gallery and

BUSINESS FEATURES.

Trade results in February We're very
unfavorable weather features.
In Chicago the demand for pig iron
and finished products of iron and steel,
both in number and tonnage, are again
as large and urgent as at any time
heretofore. The lumber market is
closely watched in view of the building
boom in this city and the west. Many
dealers find their supplies short, and
urgent buyers are more concerned in
quick deliveries than in probable adj
vance in the cost.
Boston reports that unfavorable
weather has had temporary curtailing
effect upon all branches of business,
but retailers and jobbers have felt it
most. Spring merchandise has been
inactive with retailers, but the jobbing
houses report a good mail order bust
ness in dry goods and most staple
goods. Wholesale trade is irregular,
some branches report increased activi-
ty, and others quiet week.
At Providence with few exceptions
trade is in generally satisfactory con-
dition. Cotton manufacturers are busy
and claim that orders on hand will keep
mills running to full capacity for sew
eral months.
At Pittsburg the iron and steel mar
ket continues strong, prices show an
upward tendency, and the matter of
transportation is still an uncertain fea-
ture The shortage of cars has not
abated, and users of raw as we'll as fin
ished materials find it difficult to obs
tain supplies.
In New Orleans trade in all lines
ditions being more favorable and tend
ing to stimulate spring purchases. The
volume of business for February will
show fair increase over the same per-
iod of 1901
In Cincinnati manufacturing lines
generally are well employed, this APP
plying particularly to iron and wood
working machinery, but other lines also
have good orders.
At Minneapolis general trade condi-
lions remain much the same as last
week The dry goods trade is reported
on the increase right along, with prices
firm and strong tendency to advance
in certain lines. The open weather for

HOUSEKEEPING IN FRANCE.

When one reads of the efforts to
economic in housekeeping in number
of European countries. and turns to eX-
anime some of the wasteful habits OF
the middle classes in America. he is
convinced that reform is needed at
home-not in the direction of parsimo-
ny, but in helpful saving.
Some Phases of French Housekcep-
ing" was the subject of practically
suggestive talk given few days ago
by Miss Maria Parloa in private home
in New York to number of interested
listeners. 1t will be instructive by way
of contrast with methods here.
Economy and patience are the two
strong traits in French character" said
Miss Parloa, and every French house
wife, rich or poor, looks well to the
ways of her household. Her carefulness
has no tincture of meanness about it.
She is not at all sordid, and she never
thinks of being ashamed of the most
rigid economy. Everything is kept
under lock and key. With provisions
nearly twice as high as in this country,
fuel dear beyond our imaginations, and
incomes small, the careful utilization
of everything is really a necessity.
Anything like prodigality excites exc
Grafton.
1.-The question of fuel is an important
one. France has not coal or wood
enough for her own use, so not q pound
of coal or foot of wood is allowed to
waste. Every twig and bit of under
brush is bound into bundles and sold.
When the baker heats his oven he
sprinkles the coal left with water. then
sits it twice. selling the charcoal and
the powdered charcoal for the econom-
ical housewives use.
ut is the exception, not the rule, to
have running water in even the most
elegant homes-save in the Kitchen.
Tanks and closets are kept supplied by
and hot water in the morning not to be
thought of by people of moderate
means In severe weather people have
to walk the streets to keep warm.
Dressers and doors are frequently made
without handles, one ornate brass key
serving to unlock all the drawers in
turn
While the French housekeeper has to
cope with many inconvenience and
conditions unknown to American
housewives, who, according to Miss
Parloa, have the most comfortable of
homes, the largest of incomes and the
most appreciative of husbands, she does
not break down as the women do in this
conserves her strength in the morning.
The woman of affairs frequently takes
her breakfast in bed while she looks
over her accounts, plans her work
ahead and has her mail brought to her.
The usual idea that French cookery
is complicated Miss Parloa declared a
one. Breakfast is simplicity
itself-a cup of coffee or chocolate.
without cream, and a slice of bread or
a roll. High seasonings of food are
herbs and vegetables are
used in preference to spices, and these
they use generously, cultivating them
in the little gardens or even window
pots.

ALFALFA IN IOWA.

If the report made by Mr. w. S. kel-
ley, Mondamin farmer, at FARMERS
institute and midwinter fair recently
held Ida Grove, is to be accepted the
present prices of Iowa land are far
below the possibilities. Mr.. Kelley con-
tributed valuable and interesting pa
Per to the institute program in which
he dealt with his personal experience
and profit in the culture of alfalfa.
If Mr.. Kelleys figures are reliable
and his success may be duplicated by
others, this valuable grass crop would
in season pay for an excellent Iowa
farm, acre for acre. and leave a balance
in cash on hand. His statement to the
assembled farmers at Ida Grove was
that his alfalfa field last year brought
kim So per acre. 1t yielded two crops
of hay and one crop of seed. Each cut
ting of hay averaged two tons, or four
tons per acre for the seasons yield, and
each acre netted five bushels of seed.
The hay brought IS per ton or So an
acre and the seed Sc per bushel or $50
an acre, bringing the total up to s62
According to this statement of Mr..
llelley's the alfalfa crop which has been
looked upon as the special crop of the
more arid portions of our western do
main may become standard crop with
the Iowa farmer as well, and If Mr..
Kelley's figures may be duplicated read

PROPER CARE OF
YOURSELF.
Proper care demands Smiths Green

Taking proper care of yourself simply
means keeping the blood pure and the
stomach, liver and kidneys working
along in their regular, normal way.
If you neglect yourself when you see
you are not exactly right, your blood
gets full of the impurities which would
otherwise pass out of your system, and
there is trouble in store for you.
You seem to have all sorts of things
the matter when tile simple fact is that
your blood is making all the trouble be-
cause you don't take the pains to keep
it pure and strong.
You ought to follow the sensible ex-
ample Of tho sons and daughters of Yer

they go away, they send back home for
it. They don't run any risks-they
kno,o it will cure them. They won't
have to send back home any longer.
People with money have taken hold
of this medicine and are introducing it
everywhere through agents who they
know will give it to the people in the
same condition it comes to them and not
attempt to substitute other things for it.
