HELPING THE TRUSTS.
Systems That Are Opposed to the
Welfare Of the Masses.

Nearly century ago, Disraeli, the
elder, in his essay on gaming and
gambling, wrote: THE savage and the
civilized, the illiterate and the learn
ed, are alike captivated by the hope
of accumulating wealth without the
labors of industry" In this saying the
great statesman and writer sounded
the keynote of much of the woes met
with in life. 1t is the desire to secure
wealth without labor, to gain some
thing for nothing, that causes many to
go to their graves "unwept, unhonored
and unsung."
The man who gleefully sings Make
q few dollars earn you living" will
be sure to find many people ready to
believe him. They will take a
chance" anyway. and the gullible are
so numerous that the promoter really
succeeds in accommodating wealth
without the labors of industry" but
the others-his enthusiastically

During the past few years one large
concern that has for long been drain
ing the rural districts of surplus
wealth. has built a city of its own
and has erected buildings for the ac
commodation of 1000 people This
concern does not draw cent of trade
from the people of the city wherein II
is located. All its wealth and the
means by which it built up its "own
city" has been contributed by people
scattered throughout the country.
How few there are who think that
when they send money to this great
concern for supplies that might as
well be bought in their home town,
that they are helping to deal death.

such is the fact. Every dollar sent
to the large city, assists in the build.

people should not submit.

TRADES GREAT MAGNET.
How Some Mammoth Fortunes Have
Been Built Up.


Many OF the great fortunes in Amer.
lea have been gained by the judicious
use OF printers ink. The wealthiest
merchants attribute their success to
advertising. Millions and millions of
ocliars' worth Of manufactured prod
ucts are annually sold to the people
OF the United States through the ad-
vertising pages of the public press,
the only medium. Consider the new

through the newspapers. Great exclu-
siYe mail-order houses, institutions
that have come into existence during
the past 20 years, have been built up
entirely through judicious advertis-
ing.
AS TO the mail order houses, there
is loud clamor againa their en-.
croachments throughout the country.
Ihere is every cause for alarm that
they will eventually grow into such
mammoth institutions as will monop.
olize the business that Is now the
backbone and spine of the country
towns. There is one way that the
merchants can lessen the evil 1t is
by persistent use of the public press.

lures have failed just because there
was no proper advertising. Hundreds
and thousands OF small merchants fail
for the same cause. The paper In a
small town is of greater force than
the average merchant thinks. II the

choice of Starch a matter of great i'm

OF the two ways of blanching celery,
namely by earth and by boards, the
latter is to be preferred. because the
use of the boards keeps the celery
cleaner and makes it less liable to be
affected by rust or rot, and is ready
for use or the market at least two
weeks earlier than when earth is
used. In both processes the work
must be done when the soil and celery
plants are perfectly dry, as handling
in a moist condition produces rust or
rot, or both

SUBJECTED TO HEAT AND COLD.

The jury's task was a severe one, the tests of each beer extending over con- siderable time. Pabst "Blue Ribbon beer. along with all the others, was for weeks alternately subjected to extreme degrees of heat and cold. Of all the beers so tested Fabst Blue Ribbon beer was the only ore found upon examination to retain all the properties originally contained in the brew. It was finally determined that the "Blue Ribbon beer took first place among all the other varieties submitted by American and European hreweries. Consequently the highest possible honors of the exposition were awarded.
 The fact that the American beer took first place was all the more remarkable from the fact that it was necessarily transported great distance, factor that might ordinarily have been a decided handicap as against other beers sent 10 Antwerp. The tin that the beer was in transit from the brewery in Milwaukee was something like four weeks, and 1t is a generally accepted theory that beer loses through transportation. The Pabst beer apparently was unaffected. Its durability and pureness were found upon examnnas tion to be without fault. :,
 The exposition at Antwerp this year was held during the months of June. July and August. the months in which the tour1se travel is largest. It was opened by King Leopold under whose protectorste 1t was heiI the various monarchies and the French republic appointing delegates to represent them in the interna tional show. The exhibits were placed in the great building erected several years ago at Ant werp and designed especially for large ex- positions of the nature of the pure food show The juries appointed to make tests in the several departments of the exposf- ton were appointed by the Belgian minis ter of education with the approval Of the different nations participatin in the gats- ering, the members being selected with special view to their peculiar fitness to judge of the merits of the products coming under their examination. One of he roted members of the jury which undertook the stupendous task of testing the bottled beers acd awarding prizes was Prof. Alfred Jorgensen of Copenhagen, Den mark, than whom there is no better known authority on the subject of sciertihc and hysienic brewing. Others on the jury were men of undoubted ability in their line The fact that the host of exhibitors in the department of brewing unanimously approved of the membership of the jury tespeaks their ability.
 It i- probatle that the awards now in the care of the Pabst Brewing company will be rlaced on exhibition at an early date it being the desire of the officials to permit the public at large to examine the r edals and diploma sigrifying the par ex- ceIlence of Pabst Blue Ribbon Bee-.
