It is part Of the large and beautiful
art OF knowing how to render yourself

ways so honestly sorry for the woman
who boldly asserts that men bore her,
that she has no time for them and that
feminine companionship is more to be
desired and more satisfying.
She is making a great and deliberate
mistake in the very ground plan of her

Health Matters.
SMALLPOX SITUATION

The regular monthly reports to the
State Board Of Health show that the
states health In December, Just
passed, was not so good as in the
same month last year. In December
1902, there were 1854 deaths, an an
nual rate of 1913, and in December,
1908, there were 2,94S deaths, a rate
of 1873. The deaths from consump-
tlon, pneumonia and la grippe were
Tor the first named period. 2S4, 267
and 10 respectively, while in the last
named period, they were 337, 1872 and
80. In a word, these three great dis
eases OF the respiratory tract, showed
an increase of 16.4 per cent in De
cember, 1908, over December, 1902,
and make 23.3 per cent. of the total
deaths.
The old people suffered severely
for there were S04 deaths of persons
over % years of age or 30.1 per cent.
OF the total deaths. The deaths from
certain causes were typhoid fever 65,
dIphtheria "a, scarlet fever "a, meas
les 8, whooping cough 3, diarrhoeal
diseases %, cancer 81, smallpox 2.
The most prevalent disease was
measles. 81 schools were closed dur
ing the month on account of this dis
ease, II were closed on account of
dlphtheria, on account of scarlet
fever, and 8 because of smallpox It
Is certainly a very great expense to
have preventable diseases. Next TO
measles, tonsilitis (many Of the cases
undoubtedly being diphtheria) was
reported as most prevalent. Then

REVENUE OFFICERS
AFTER CIGARISTS
CHARGES MADE THAT CHEAP
CIGARS ARE PUT IN
BOXES WHERE
HIGH PRICED CIGARS
Had Been Kept Complaints From
Various Places Over the
HIGH PRICED CIGARS

Revenue officers of the state are to
visit Richmond and all other cities
in the state and investigate the al
legged "cigar box' stufing.
The fraud in. stuffing boxes is prac-
ticed both on cheap and expensive
cigars. A cigar that costs 5 cents
will be placed in the box of 25 cent
variety, and can be worked off on al
most any customer, If it resembles
the original color and shape.
The greatest fraud, however, it is
said, is on popular cent cigars. On
many of these cigars the profit to the
retailer is small. He therefore fills
the box with other cigars on which
the profit is greater. By picking his
customers he can work off the bogus
cigars.
The revenue law providing against
the sale of cigars from a box that has
once been used was not aimed at re-
tailers, but was intended to prevent
manufacturers from using boxes a
second time. 1t is believed, however,
it can be evoked with great severity
against unscrupulous retail dealers,
and the effort will be made as soon
as clear case can be made. It is
exceedingly difficult, however, to
catch a dealer exchanging the cigars.
Manufacturers and wholesale deal
ers have taken the matter up to pro-
tect themselves, and are advocating
the prosecution of offenders. Hun
dreds of petitions have been sent to
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington from this state, it is said, ask
ing for the strict enforcement of the

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
FOR THE YEAR
NEW YORK MERCHANTS DO
NOT AGREE WITH WALL
STREET
A PROSPEROUS YEAR
Predicted by the People Who Spend
Considerable Money.
A PROSPEROUS YEAR

Wall street of late has been taking
a pessimistic view of the business
outlook for the year 1904. To know
anything about business conditions
throughout the country, man must
do business with many parts OF 1T.
The New York Sun Of recent date,
says, in speaking of the outlook of
affairs in New York, that among the
great wholesalers the general feeling
is as different from the feeling ex-
pressed In the financial district as
the air of Pixies Peak is different
from the air of Washington Heights.
The Sun, after a pretty thorough
canvass of the New York centers of
the wholesale trade, as we'll as Of the
financial district, finds that not only
do very few merchants believe that
conditions must be much worse be-
fore they are much better, but there
are comparatively few who have any
great fault to find with the situation
at present, or the outlook for the fu-
ture. Among the merhants the pre-
vailing opinion seems to be that the
''hard times" experiences that we
are hearing so much about in these
days are experiences that should be

CAUSED FINANCIAL LOSS
Together With Much Pain and In
convenience Hernly AL
ready a Cripple.

Some time ago Charles S. Hernly,
of New Castle, ex-Chairman of the
Republican state committee, has
brought suit against the Panhandle
Railroad company for damages sus-
tanned while alighting from one of
the company's trains in this city.
Mr.. Hernly fell between two cars
and one foot was smashed. Mr..
Hernly alleges that his injuries have
been such as to cause him much pain
and inconvenience, as well as financial
loss in business way.
Mr.. Hernly has one cork leg, and
the injury to the one sound member
makes the injury doubly serious.

set down as indigenous to the soil of
Manhattan Island. The year 1908, it
is pointed out, was rather extraordi-
nary in the amount of business which
the country did. Nobody thoroughly
familiar with commercial conditions
believes that in the year 1904 the vol
ume Of the country's business viii be
much larger than it was in the year
that it closed Indeed, it would
surprise few if there should be a
slight falling off. Yet, it is pointed
out, even with considerable falling
off, the volume Of business would be
normal.
It is an old saying that when the
farmers Of a country are prosperous,
the whole country is having good
times. The outlook for the west,
therefore, must be regarded as par
ticularly good 1t is said that the
corn crop, for instance, will be $780,
100000 bushels larger than the Gov
ernment estimate of 1850, 900.
The price of corn is at what is called
a high average, and so it is conclud-
ed that the west must enjoy particu-
larry prosperous conditions during
the next year.
Lord & Taylor.
Lord & Taylor the oldest dry goods
firm in the United States, are not in
sympathy with what seems to be the
New York impression that we are to
have worse times in the financial
and commercial world before we have
better. Because they are Wholesalers
as well as retailers, they make it
their business to keep pretty close
tabs on general conditions throughout
the country. Speaking of these con-
ditions and the outlook for the COM
ing year, they said:
HfThe course of prices in Wall
Street has led to a somewhat pessi-
mistic view of the commercial condi-
ton of the country, and in certain
quarters the opinion prevails that we
must end up this decade with an old
fashioned panic, or some such thing.
We meet good many people in the
city, and large numbers in the coun-
try trade. and it does seem as if New
York is the bluest place in the United
States.
