to the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
injustice by his failure to put his
money in home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
perity of our city. The criticism is
justified and it holds just as good in
lesser degree to the man who trades
out of town. 1t is the same offense
on a smaller scale.
The effect of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has in
mind a notable instance. Two cities
of about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides of river
which is boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade in the two towns. The
millionaires of one of she cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out. AS a result, the town is
rapidly forging to the front; every one
is prosperous. the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
millionaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because of
lack of capital; merchants are fail
ing; stores and houses are being va
Gated; people are moving away and a
general air of poverty and decay. per-
vades the place.
Few cities present such strong ex-
amples of the value of money spent at
home but the same principle holds
true in every community. 1t is due
every community to reinvest the
money it produces in the community
which produces it.
The chance of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tised at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description Of the adver-
tisement. The few cents which is
saved on the price of an article so
bought is usually sacrificed in the
quality of the article. Buying from the
mail order house is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
a home merchant without examining

obtained of most of the large hardware
stores. The blade of the knife above
is made of one continuous piece of
steel Mr.. w. H. Laws, of Beeville,
Tex, used a knife similar to this
while l visited him several years ago.
His knife was not as heavy, and the
blade was made pocket-knife style,
and could be closed. This made il
handy to carry in the pocket; but
the objection was that prying hives
and frames caused the blade to work
loose in its Joints" This weak point,
in addition to being more expensive
also, makes the knife without the
joint, and the consequent lower price.
a more satisfactory hive tool. 1t can
be carried in the hip pocket with ease,
having the handle downward; in fact,
the hip-pocket is the most handy hive
tool bag" l know of-the most con-
venient in reach at all times.
This knife is excellent for prying
hives, frames and anything else apart;
also for opening boxes or taking off

used for cutting at any time, the

the goods, but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods Of
fered for sale at home. If the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for a little while, he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
of better quality and as good bargains
as the mail order goods, taking quail
ity into consideration. If this pre-
sumption is true. the buyer of mail or
der goods is a distinct loser, as he has
secured inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives, as
well as himself, of the use of the
money. F. r. SINGLETON.

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds of Other Cases OF
Gnn,r,on AtIr1apf<

Common Ailments
Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is ON a strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
II suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years. 1 was under the
care of our family physician most of the
time, but did not seem to get better.
81 was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the house.
My blood was impure and my complex
ion pale. I suffered from flashes of
had awful headaches, which lasted from
three to four days. I could get but little
rest at night, as my sleep was broken
and fitful. AS a result l lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-
vous.
81 was in a wretched condition when
I heard about DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
started to take the pills at once and
began to gain in weight and health. I
was encouraged by this to keep on until
1 was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what a changed woman I
am and 1 owe it all to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
These wonderful pills are useful in
wide range of diseases such as alsern;a,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, so cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Geese as Iavere

Age has no effect whatever upon the
laying or paying quality of geese
The rule is that geese increase in pro-
Efficacy with years. They lay as many
eggs 20 years old as they did when
only two or three years old and the
fertility of the same is better. OF
course, proper keeping and feeding
must have been practiced at all times.
Fat geese are non-producers. A solid
grain ration is detrimental to good re-
suits. A grass-run and liberty and a
little oats at night during the winter
season are best.

TWO HANDY HIVE TOOLS.
Knives That Will Serve Variety Of

blade is about one-eighth inch thick
