Thinks the Elkins Law Sufficient.

Minneapolis, July 10.-E. S. Wood
worth, senior partner of the firm of
F. S. Woodwork & Co.. the largest
grain dealers in the country in an in
terview today regarding the alleged
demand for government regulation of
freight rates. said:
"The people who are making the
most strenuous complaints to the adj
ministration. l firmly believe. are the
people who ship the least freight. The
railroad companies throughout this
country are looking all the time for
strong. able men to take care of their
operative and traffic departments, be-
ing willing to compensate literally for
this ability, and the best men they can
get, men with long years of training
and study of the situation, are at a
loss at times to know how to best ad-
just rates which shall not be discrimi-
native and which shall be rather than
otherwise for the good of all
and if they. after years of knowl-
edge. in any way fail. does it not seem
unwise to think that our politicians
would run the railroads or make the
rates in any way which would please
us better, or be better for us than the
men who are now in charge?

A Feat in Surgery,

Paris, July 1O.-Prof. Routler, one of
Frances most celebrated surgeons,
has successfully carried out an opera
ton which is likely to revolutionize
therapeutics, his patient being one of
the prettiest and most fashionable
young Parisiennes.
While engaged in removing the
young lady's appendix he suddenly
discovered most dangerous abscess.
He removed it and waited patiently
for the wound to lessen. To perform
another operation would mean certain
death. What was he to do? Should
he try upon the young woman an ex.
pertinent which had hitherto been
carried out only with animals? He
decided to do so.
By making a hypodermic injection
of turpentine he caused the formation
of an artificial abscess, which drain.
ed all the diseased matter from the
neighborhood of the appendix and the
young woman is now as we'll as ever.

APPEAL TO THE WOMEN.
Successful Advertisers Recognize Thai
Women Do the Buying.


Shrewd advertisers are realizing
more clearly every day that 1t is the
women who buy for the home and
approaching more fully the necessity
for appealing directly to the women
in their advertising.
This is, of course, not true in all
cases, but in everything pertaining to
the household and it's members d.
rectly the woman usually makes the
purchases or decides where it shall
be made. This applies not only to the
clothing that the family wears, but
to the food. furniture and luxuries.
Also it is the women as a general
rule who decides upon what school
the children shall attend, where the
vacations shall be spent and what
trips shall be made and where to.
1t has been estimated that more than
ninety per cent of the expenditures
of the average family ar influenced
by the woman of the house and when
this is considered the necessity for
appealing directly to her is very evi
dent.
AS rule man finds buying any
thing that is not for his own personal
use very distasteful and avoids such
buying when it is possible. A man
usually buys his own wearing apparel
because it must be fitted and the buy
ing for his business he does to large
extent on his own judgment as a
matter of principle, but family buying
and articles of general utility he
leaves entirely to the woman of the
household. And many of his own per
sonal purchases he makes on the ad-
vice of the woman connected with his
home
Buying things is distinctly femi.
nine performance and the very act
of making a purchase is source of
the greatest pleasure to the average
woman and for this reason the adver-

ing in the eyes of the woman.
If women control so large per
cent of the buying then practically
all of the retail advertising should
be directed twoard women. Goods
should be considered from the femi
nine point of view and advertisements
written in the style that most appeals
to the feminine mind.
There is no good IN telllng WON
an about an article unless you tell
her what it costs. And at the same
time make it very clear to her that
quality considered the price is very
low. These are two points that the
advertiser should bear firmly in mind
All this not only shows the impor
lance of the advertising from the
woman's point of view, but the abso

With a small amount of cash capital on
hand he set about to find a suitable site
for a church. Several sites were suggested
and the prospective pastor of the new
church settled upon the present location.
The idea that the building was constructed
for saloon purposes caused some of the
good people to think that it should not be
used as a church. but the minister took a
different view of the matter and made the
purchase.
inexpensive changes were necessary and
these were made, it being the opinion of
