Mems Clothing Fl.

We are now concentrating our clothing thoughts and
energies on styles for Spring.
Hence the remaining Winter stock is an incubus. The
lines, still unsold, will not be packed away. To do SO
would mean tfankless work, loss of time and inactive
capital. Besides, the goods would not look fresh and
bright when we brought them back to light next October.
The easiest, quickest and most merchant-like method is
to overcome your opposition to buying heavy Clothing
so close to the end of Winter by making the prices so
attractive that thrift will tempt you to take advantage of
them. That's what we have done.

Dullnebs again Tulou On inc BLOCK
market to-day. Trading was almost
without feature, and the price move
ment and the sales had to DO closely
watched to CLEAN news OF n kind.
The bears lacked an aggressive leader.
and It was probably well for them that
they did. The bulls also were without
a head, so the sales represented nothing
more han an effort of traders to scalp
profits OF 1ISs.
London early sold 1000 shares In this
market. TIL most important feature
OF the market was the selling of 5000
shares OF Baltimore q Ohio by Loeb
& Co. There did not seem to be any
supporting orders, the stool being taken
In small lots BY many brokers, and at
the end OF the sale the price was about
at the starting level. This show Of
strength induced some covering that
steadied the list. There was during the
day a fair aggregate OF Liquidation
which. in the absence OF commission
house buying, made the market appear
really weaker than II was.
In the afternoon ut n time when II
looked as II stocks might 20 higher,
news came that the London curb had
closed weak on the news from the Bal
kans n that several Of the large Lon
don newspapers were already sending
correspondents to the spot. This nipped
the upward movement before It had well
started. and the gains were lost and a
fraction In addition.
A~malgamated Copper, after the early
weakness on the renewal OF the Heinze
nsht In the courts. showed a little
strength. japan exports about 3 1000
tons Of copper a year. The spot deal
ers heud that war would cut of this
supply and that this was about a full
months export for tins country. SO that
American copper companies would be
benefited by that much.
Canadian Pacific reelected the rather
uncertain tone in London. The Steel
issues were bettr on the report from
Pittsburg that there was an undoubted
and general improvement in the iron
and steel industry. Tho srangers showed
neither strength nor weakness. The
close was dull and heavy.

Few people know how to cough prop
erly. In fact, it neve occurs to the or
binary individual that there are Il right
way and a wrong way of doing 1t. Yet
1t Is a matter of no small Importance,
If every sigh means II drop of blood out
OF the heart, as people say. every cough
means some greater or less proportion
of time knocked Off ones life. Most
people cough ms loudly and forcibly as
they can. Some chronic coughers seem
a bit proud of the terrible noise they
make. But it is Il rather costly noise.
for the simple reason that it tears and
inflames the lungs.
The lungs consist of an e%xtraordinn-
rily delicate spongelike tissue. which
sometimes gets inilamed and choked
with phlegm. When we try to get rid
OF this substance we cough. But. OBJ
viously, If we remove Ii violently we
must necessarily injure the delicate
lung tissue. Therefore train yourself
to cough as gently as possible. After a
little practice you will find it quite Easy
to do so. In that way you will do a
minimum of mischief TO the lungs and
add years to your life.

to absorb the strong flavor This is espe-

A goose, of all birds, requires long, thor

and dredging every ten or fifteen minutes.
To make the sauce for the goose turn all

flour and cook until frothy. Then pour IN
a pint of boiling water or stock. When the
mixture boils up thoroughly season with

TREATMENT OF THE POOR.
How the City of Berlin Handles the
Problem.

Many interesting details regarding the
condition and treatment of the poor by
the municipality of Berlin are contained in
a report forwarded to the State Depart
ment by United States Consul Haynes at
Rouen. France. From this report 1t APP
pears that it is a crime in Berlin to be out
of work When ragged man makes his
appearance on one of the streets in Berlin
he is Immediately requested by policeman
to show his papers II they show that the
bearer has slept more than a certain pre-
scribcd number of nights in an asylum for
the homeless from three to five days, he is
Immediately conducted to the workhouse,
which although not a prison, resembles
the latter In all details
Every person Of humble means is insured
by the state in Germany. Clerks, shop as
sistants and servants are compelled to in
sure against sickness and old age. The
state has built an immense sanitorium at
Beeltz at n cost of nearly 50 100000, where
the invaded citizen is sent with his PEN
sion. In order to expedite his return to the
ranks OF the wage earners. The Whole OBJ
ject of the Berlin municipality is to secure
the physical and intellectual well being of
its citizens, and although the Germans are
not soft-hearted in the manner of achieV-
Ing this purpose. they have this recommen-
dation-they succeed.
Doctor Freund the chairman of state ia
surance in Berlin, takes the ground that
the state should do everything to tit its
citizens for the battle of commercial com
petition, and when it has done everything,
when IL has first equipped, then safe
guarded and afterwards assisted in dis
tress, 1t should punish sternly and stead
lastly the lazy and the indolenJ. Fall sick,
says the state to its work people, and We
will nurse you back to vigor; drop out OF
employment. and we will find you fresh
work; grow old. and we viii provide you
with bread and butter: but become lazy
and vagabond. and We viii lock you up and
make you work till YOU have paid the ut
termost farthing of your debt.
Rags and misery dare not lie about In the
parks or scatter disease through the
crowded streets. IL there Is any virtue in
the unemployed the state will certainly de-
velop it well as it is possible to do so
There Is n central bureau for providing
men with work, and when a man knows
that not TO work means the workhouse he
solcits employment here and elsewhere
with such a will as almost compels wages
In one year the state has secured employ
ment for 50.C00 men.
The citizen is provided with sanitary
dwellings,, with unadulterated food with
schools and technical colleges and with in
surance for sickness and old age. For a
penny he can travel almost from one end
of Berlin to the other by electric tramway
or electric railway. His streets are clean,
brilliantly lighted and noiseleSs; his cafes
and music halls are innumerable He yes
in palace, And all this is the result OF
municipal government by experts instead
of by amateurs.
