"My daughter had for long time been
troubled with violent headaches and sleep
lessness. She was pale, had no appetite, and
was losing flesh rapidly. She tried various
remedies, but received no benefit until she
commenced using Ayers Sarsaparilla. After
taking half bottle sho began to feel better
BY a continued use Of this medicine her
appetite returned, her checks began to fill
out and show color, she gained in strength,
her headaches disappeared, she slept better,
and now says she feels like a new person
There are many imitation
SarsapariIIas.

1t is my good fortune to number
among my friends many Jews and
among the many eXcellences of the
ancient race there is none that COM
mends itself more to the man about
town than the saving grace of humOr.
l think that, next to the Scotch, the
Jews are the most humorous and hui
NOR loving people in the world and,
like the Scotch, they never enjoy a
joke better than when it is told at the
expense Of themselves.
You know" said a Jewish friend of
mine the other day" there is always
standing joke on my people about
alleged frequency of fires in Jewish
establishments and l heard a good yarn
on the subject
"There had been a fire in Ikestein
Brothers place and the fire coroner was
investigating. The senior partner was
asked to give his views as to the cause
of the fire and he said with decision
that the fire had been caused by the
arc light at the front Of the store. The
junior partner was called and he said
that the fire was due to the incandes-'
cent light at the rear Of the store.
"Then the night Waterman was sum-
moned. 'Oi dinnaw much about yez
arc Lofts or yes incandiscent Lofts,
says he but it's me own opinion that
tn foir was caused by the Israel-light
in tn cellar"

see that Captain Conner of the
dredging company is accused of being
accommodating l suppose that this
charge is correct, but certainly it sur
prises me, for socially, the captain is
amiability itself. Probably he has q
dual character-amiable socially and
hard as nails where business is con-
cerned. The captain ought not, how
ever, To knock his own business. He
has made a complaint to the army en-
gineering officer against the action of
the steamer Kinau which keeps it's pro-
peller going night and day while lying
at the wharf. Conner says that this
causes sitting out of the slip into the
channel and he is dredging out the
channel, he wants the business stop
ped. The Territorial government ought
to take a tip from Conner and instead
of employing expensive dredging COM
panies to deepen the government slips,
should provide the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation with plenty of coal and a
small bonus and have the company
keep the propellers of it's fleet moving
while in this port and the slips will be
deepened in less than no time
Honolulu is all right" said a recent
arrival in the legal line. 1.-THE climate

q was looking for offices the other
day and I hit upon two rooms in a

 Anyone who will reflect even casually on the subject must be- come impressed that the influence of tEe mail order business is toward the centralization of wealth, and how enormous a part it is playing in this direction will be understood from a second glance at the figures which have been given above.
 It is due to himself that every patron of the mail order house should inquire honestly of him. self what the final outcome is to be if the mail order business shall continue to make the great strides which have marked it's progress during the last half decade.
 It is useless to repeat the we'll worn argument of the mail order concerns that they are selling goods enough more cheaply than the merchants in the regular channels of trade to leave their customers more money than ever to devote to home enterprises and institutions. The fallacy of this statement has been proved over and over again by actual and minute comparison of goods, as to their quality and prices. To refute 1t finally ana lnulsputaoly by a simpler and more direct method it is necessary only to ask the reliable business men of any of the smaller communities to show the evidence from their books and accounts of the harm the mail order habit IS dolng their communities.
 It is a truth as old as the hills and as certain as the rising and setting of the sun that no coun trv or section of country can nrosper unless the people as a

 Every year millions upon mill lions. of dollars find their way from the towns, villages and rural districts of the country to the coffers. of the mail order housesin the cities, and go to the upbui1ding of enormous institu- tions in the centers of population Naturally. thes sources from which the contributions are made suffer accordingly.
 Figures ever tell a better story than words. Here are the figures which tell a story so stupendous that it's full significance cannot be grasped in moment, but the mere sight of which are ave- inspiring. 4
 In the year 1905 two mail order houses, located in Chicago, did a business amounting in round numbers to S80,O00,000. In the year 1904 these same concerns did a business of about $62, ,O00, : GOO, a gain of 7S18,0O0,O00 or nearly 3O' per cent in a single year, being thus exhibited.
 These figures represent the sale last year of one dollars worth of merchandise for every man, woman and child in the country by two catalogue houses alone, and those operating from the same central point. Dozens more of varying size and import ance are operating all over the country from coast to coast and from border to border.
 A fact not generally known is that hundreds of concerns throughout the country which now are doing business through the regular trade channels are awaiting only 8 parcels post law to unloose literature, already pre- pared in many instances, which would project them into the mail order field, and this does not take into account the hundreds and thousands of entirely new mail order concerns which inevitably would spring into existence under such friendly auspices.

l general prosperity as may exist i cannot be retained if the institu- tions of the already larger and wealthier communities are to continue to be built up by contri- buttons that should be spent at home from the thousands of smaller communities.
 The need of the country, desperate need upon which the welfare of the individual de- pends, is for the upbuilding and continued progress of the smaller communities, so that the wealth of the country may be distributed over the entire country, and not congested and controlled in large amounts in comparative few centers of population.
 Therefore the man who sends away from his own community money which he might have spent at home and permitted fair profit to the home merchant to be retained there for the benefit of the community, is injuring his community, and thereby the prospects for his own future prosperity. In large number of instances he is doing more than this. Unwittingly, or unthink- ingly, perhaps, he is violating his own prin ciples of right and justice, for, at the expense of his own community, he is needlessly contributing profits to the capital istic combinations which he con- tinuously cries out are menacing the country.
 The mail order giants direct their energies particularly toward the people of the smaller towns and the agricultural districts. In hundreds of thousands of the homes of these the catalogue of the mail order house is as regu- larly received as the home paper. The man on the farm last year sent a very large portion of eighty millions of dol lars to two of these institutions, in one community alone.
 In all sincerity we ask: Ad- hitting, purely for the sake of argument, that the farmer or the resident of the small com- munity can save a few dollars on some of his purchases, or even that he could do so on all of them, can. he afford to continue to inn poverish his own community, upon which his own prosperity, the very value of his land de- pends?
 If he will ask himself this ques- ton and consider it sJberly and fairly in all of it's phases, includ- ing the many which cannot be touched upon within the limits of a single article, we think his answer must be that he cannot.
 The wonderful productivity of this country has been sufficient to overcome the various adverse economic influences which have existed during the period of years in which the mail order business has accomplished it's greatest growth. Everyone has been "getting along pretty well.' While the increasing, flow of 1 golden millions from their source in the land of the country to the already great centers of money and population has held back the growth of the smaller communi- ties, it has not yet occassioned a great disaster. The test will come with the first pinch of ''hard times," condition which no country ever has been able to escape at recurring intervals. When this time arrives those communities will best stand the test which have best conserved and huahapdpd their rnSOllrcpS
