Commenting on the havoc the mail
order houses are playing with the
trade of the country stores the editor
of HdrdaC0re 1Tade says: THE cat
alogue houses have built up their
trade by the use of pictures and by
advertising prices, making low prices
on goods with which she consumer is
well acquainted and getting the pro-
| tit back on other lines which the con-
sumner does not know so well. To
meet this competition the country
merchant must use the same methods
as the catalogue house He must adj
vertise; he must give prices in his
advertisements and he must use IL
Illustrations whenever possible. Were
it not for the pictures in the catalo-

would sell one half the goods they do
Here is goodfellowship story that
is going the rounds: Give a man a
10 cent cigar and he will beam all
over ard love YOU for six hours; offer
him the ten cents with which to buy
it for himself and he will throw it in
your face. Give man pass to q
show and he will call you good fell
low in all the languages at his dispo-
sal; offer him the money to buy a
ticket, and he will call you a fool.
Ask a man to your home to take pot
luck" and he will jump at the chance;
give him two dollars and tell him to
get good meal at a cafe with your
compliments and he will knock you
| down. The dollar is mighty. but it
isn't warm. Nothing chills hospital
ity and good fellowship more than a
touch of cold metal.

Killing Mosquitoes by Millions
New Orleans Correspondence

The decision of the u. s. War De-
partment to retain the troops at New
Orleans during the present outbreak
OF fever Is direct and convincing tes-
timony of the efficacy of the mosqui-
to treatment as applied to the one
time dreaded scOurge. The expert
ments of Surgeons Reed, Guiteras,
Carroll, Gorgas, Carter and Finlay
of the U. s. Marine Hospital, and sew
eral eminent scientists OF Central
America, have demonstrated beyond
a question of q doubt that to the
agency OF the Stegomyia or striped
daylight mosquito, breeding in cis-
terms and clear stagnant wster, is
due the yellow fever. The education
OF the people Of the South to this
fact will speedily remove the threat
|Of guarantees as at present carried
on, and restore general confidence In
the ability ofsimple methods tostamp
out fever when 1t Is broughtinto any
OF the Southern States. The story
OF Major Reeds experiments In Cuba
reads like a novel, yet these expert
ments havecOnvinced medical author
tiles the world over as to the wender-
full truth and complete revolution OF
OF the theory and prevention IF yell
low fever. Meanwhile the authori-
ties, aided by the citizens, are exter-
minating the mosquito at New Or
leans in a wonderfully rapid manner.
The citizens have organized ward
clubs which report to acentral body.
Mosquito determination is being ef-
fected by screening cisterns and by
pouring kerosene oil in all stagnant
pools which destroys the larvre.

The success of Shreveport, AleXan-
dria and Bunkie, i'm controlling the
several cases of yellow fever that
made its appearance i'm those commu-
mites. is an instructive and most
gratifying endorsement of the scientific
measures that are now advocated
and applied to prevent the spread OF
injection. Each OF those places have
had well defined cases. yet by isola-
tion and intelligent and thorough
precautions those communities have
escaped any spread of the disease fur
Their than the victims that came to
them with the fiery fever already
burning In their veins.
In the olden days such thing was
never heard of. Weknow from unim-
peachable authority that in numer-
GUS cases the fever has been conveyed
by a single individual into farm
house or country residence. and from
it probably fifteen or twenty cases
would result and possibly four or five
death. The mosquito theory evil
IDENTIFY has something in 1t, and is not
to he shifted at, even by the old wo-
men and garrulous men who have SO
many marvellous tales to tell about
yellow fever being communicated In
letter or by the handling Of an old
sock.
The result at the three points man,
ed show that with prompt and intel
iigent handling of the first cases that
appear in community the spread OF
yellow fever can be prevented.

is no longer a theory, but fact con-
