ls so strong that it is pretty near
impossible for man to charge
more than he ought to for any length
Of time. Suppose one of the mer-
chants of our town should ask me or
any one else a dollar profit on any
article he ought to sell on twenty
five cents profit, how long would it
be before the other fellow, selling
the same thing, would see this
change of cutting under the man
who wants such a large profit and
get the business?
remember once, only a few
months ago, of reading a lecture
delivered by the professor of
economics in one of our large east
ern colleges, in which he warned
the people to look out for this mail
order and catalogue business, for it
was only another form of the trust
idea. He went on to say that these
concerns bought what is called
seconds or slightly damaged goods
from factories, and in that way got
hold of stuff they could handle
He said the most of their goods
which were only slightly damaged
could not be detected by the aver
age person. He drew the illustra-
ton of customer buying dried
fruits, or groceries of any kind, and
said if it was only quarter or half
a pound short, the person buying
thought it was SO small an item as
not to be worthy Of notice, but to
the catalogue house, handling
thousands of pounds, it made nice
profit. This he called robbery, and
| guess heis about right.
l once had the pleasure of visit
ing a large factory where they made
knives, forks and other things in
that line. The foreman of one Of
the rooms showed me a pile of these
goods and said they were damaged
l examined some Of them, but l de-
clare, until he showed me where the
flaw was, it was pretty hard to de-
tect it. 1t seemed to me a big waste
to throw these damaged prices
away, and I asked him what they
did with them. He said they had ;
contract with a large catalogue
house to take all damaged goods
they had and showed me how the!
were wrapped and packed SO as t
;. keep the flaws from being seen un
less the examination was prett,
J, thorough. This was about the frs
time I had had my eyes opened OF
this kind of business.

odd southern Remedies.

What is one mans food is another
mans poison, but it Is vouched for by
an old southerner that the following
remedies will benefit seven out of ten
persons:
For alcoholism try buttermilk. 1t will
kill desire for whisky.
Whey will greatly relieve dropsy.
Calonel applied to cuts or sores re-
lieves pain and heals wounds. Not
too much and don't get wet
Kerosene will cure sore throat. Con-
sulnptives should try it. Take table
spoonful ut time. Hold nose.
Battling head in cold water every
morning will prevent one from tax
ing colds easily. Better commence in
the summer time.
Ice applied between shoulders and
back of head will stop bleeding ut the
nose.
Balsam apple applied to dog bite will
carry relief.
Keep cut onions in all sickrooms. On
ions will turn black where contagious
diseases exist and disinfect the room.
