FEMININE FOLLY.

WANTED. girl to do
homework in, small family" This is
the advertisement which may be seen
in almost every paper in the land. and
this with country having a surplus
of women seeking honorable ways of
getting living. They eagerly take up
clerking in stores. typewriting. profess
sional nursing. become teachers of art,
music and laborers in our public
schools. quite often competing with and
throwing men out Of work, and yet by
common consent they avoid the good
old fashioned vocation of home making
man will marry them. and then they
will work the rest Of their lives at it
for nothing. The why of all this is
queer. We are told upon good authori-
ty that when a woman does Homework
for pay she ruins her social standing;
that the cooking. bed making and
sweeping and washing are all right
when she does this work in her own
home. but her social undoing when she
does it for some other woman for pay.
and that it is this thing which makes
women shun this class of work. 1t seems
to us that there is in this matter whole
lot of feminine folly. There is a crying
need all over the country for this class
Of help. but it cannot be obtained for
love or money. We believe much Of the
trouble comes from the old idea that
when person Is able to employ anoth-
err to do the dirty work of life it also
carries with it the privilege of regard
ing and treating such helpers as be-
longing to an inferior class. Now. while
this works all right in a foreign coun-
try. where society is strat tilted and
classified. it doesn't work here. where
classes are unknown.

A Word About
Our Drug Store

Our Store is DRUG STORE and
little more than that. 1t is a
stationery and book store as we'll
and although we have perhaps the
best assortment of up-to-date books
and stationery i'm DEBORAH, it is
our drug business to which we call
your special attention.
Our store is essentially pre-
scription pharmacy, a place where
prescriptions are compounded by
tie most scientific methods. Max
ing as we do, a specially of prescrip-
ton work, our stock is selected
with this matter in view. 1t con-
tains the finest prescription drugs
procurable and the assortment is
much more ample than is carried
by the average drug store. No
physician ever looks through our
stock of drugs and chemicals vino
does not express his appreciation of
the character and extent of the as
sortment carried.
Our stock of heavy drugs and
patent medicines is the largest in
the county; we are therefore in
position to quote you lowest poss
ible piices OH drugs in quantities,
and patent medicines in dozen and
half dozen lots. If you want patent
medicines that can be relied on we
can tell you about the best ones
We carry every patent medicine for
which there is any demand.
We want your drug trade, we are
sure you will find abundant reason
for making this your family drug
store.
Respectfully,
Brunt & Parman

NEW SYSTEM OF HEATING
Stores and other Business Places
OF Mineral Point.

f. c. Ludden, who during the past
season established in this city large
and costly plant for. the manufacture
of distilled water ice, has decided to
utilize the two large boilers of the
plant in heating the business houses
of the city during the cold weather
months. He has already begun the
work of installing an underground
heating system, by laying pipes direct
from the plant to the rear of Brewer
& Penhallegon' store, from which
point these pipes will branch east and
west, and will be extended from time
to time as occasion requires. Mr..
Ludden has the contract for heating
the White House of w. J. Penhalle-
gon, and confidently expects that in
the near future the system will be eX-
tended to all business houses on High
street. In other cities where this sys-
TEN is used it has proven very salts
factory. In its use there is no danger
of fire, no care of furnaces, and no
dust or ashes. Mr.. Ludden is to
be commended for the enterprise he
has shown in the undertaking.

A GOOD TRADE CENTER
Mineral Point Merchants Abreast
with the Times.
READY FOR HOLIDAY TRADE.
Large and Fine Stocks of the Very
Latest Goods on Display.

The merchants of Mineral Point are
receiving large and fine stocks of
goods for the coming holiday trade.
Travelling men are often heard TO re-
mark: There is no better town of
its size in Wisconsin than old Mineral
Point" Visitors who come to us eX-
press pleasure at finding here such
large, well-kept stores and such fine
stocks of goods in every line of trade,
Situated as our city is in the heart of
a rich agricultural aud mining sec
ton, our business men show wisdom
in keeping abreast with the times by
making it unnecessary for anyone to
send away for goods.
1t is not the province of local
newspaper to specialize, but in the
matter of advertising to treat all busi-
ness men alike. Old methods have
passed away. The publisher is no
longer expected to puff " this or that
enterprise, but business men are eX-
pected to speak for themselves, and to
tell the public in good, plain words
the advantages which they have to
offer either in goods or prices. The
advertising columns of The Democrat
are open to business men for this pur-
pose, and it is our delight to have
these columns we'll filled with HOME
announcements, which tell of the life
and progress of the people.
