The most serious problem that con.
fronts the rural towns and villages
OF this country is the competition of.
Iered local enterprises by the cata-
iogue houses of the large cities. 1t ia
problem for which a solution must
be found If the prosperity and sta
oillty OF the nation is to stand.
And the solution of this great prob-
lem lies in the ham, of the people of
the towns and villages and the farms.
especially the farms.
The people of the rural communities

the catalogue houses, by RAISING by
thelr local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
absolutely no interest in their COM
munities.
These catalogue houses do not paw
taxes in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not build side
walks in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building of roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
Ihey are safe because they contain
no delaterious drug, and are manu-.
featured upon scientinc principles OF
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
OF muscles, nerves anu skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
anC genuine porous plasters and like
most mcritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.

The purity OF salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which

dispensable of all the seasoning sub

and well-nigh universal food pre-

They do not help to build school
houses for your children: the local
merchant does. They do not assist i'm
the support of your churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata.
lOgue houses do for YOU and the
first and greatest of these is to assist
materially in bankrupting your com
munity. The dollars they take away
never come back 90 you They will
never help to make a city of your viii
lage. They will never increase the
value of your real-estate holdings by
making local improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer, for it is the
farmer who is the creates patron of
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one. two or
three miles from his home is his mar
ket for the butter and eggs and other
produce Of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants of the town. each
anxious to obtain his full share OF the
business Of the community. maintain
competition that affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products of his farm. 1t is these half
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are i'm no
way due to the catalogue houses OF
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars TO the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set OF harness, or a pair
Of stockings, or any of the necessities
or Injuries Of life. and To- get them he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the well written description, and. pass.
Ing the local merchant by, the mer;
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer.
chant who has helped to build tho
community. he sends his dollars TO
the catalogue house I'm the city and
takes what they choose to send him.
What is the result?
Ono after another the doors Of the
local stores are closed, and whore at
one time there were half dozen mer.
chants, each bidding for his share OF
patronage by Offering fair prices for
that which the farmer had to sell
there is now but one merchant who
has monopoly, not only Of the sell.
Ing, but Of the buying as well. and he
pays what he pleases for the farmers

The farmer can col tinu4 to send his

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proveo
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from tho
pain OF an injured foot and camels,
1t is said, shed tears in streams, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
ton IL Livingston didn't nurse il in
his arms when II asked him to-
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their Young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying. which proved sorrow, though
1t wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsmans rife had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trucking down the face OF dy-
Ing elephant. And even an oraDg-
outang when deprived of it's mango
was so veyed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt. therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

ohastly Facts About Lynchino.

I No one can look at one of the pho
tographs of 4 lynching without a
sense of abysmal horror. 1t is not the
horror alone or chiefly of the thing

he tragedy. 1t is the faces of the
spectators that shock our very souls.
They are always laughing faces. Good
mature. even jollity, seems to be the
mote of these gatherings. Always we

jcheerfully toward the camera. There
are women sometimes in the crowd.
and sometimes little girls. There is
mo sign in these pictures of horror of
death, even of grim satisfaction over
a difficult and obnoxious task per.
Horned by necessity. The man who
called it lynching bee appreciated
the true feelings Of the Iynchers.
Leave out the grim wreck in the cen.
ter, and the picture might be taken
i1or an ordinary cheerful gathering at
a country fair. Leave it in, says a
writer in American Magazine. and.
oh. my brothers! it is not the dead.
but the living that terrifes.

Are you putting your merchants out

French View OF Marriage.

The French, guided by .eason, a.
they would say, regard the institution
OF matrimony as a rational regulation
OF the fact OF sex, as a compromise
between the rights of the individual
and the rights of society. The man
obeys, but under protest; he is will
ing to sacrifice his liberty so far, but,
beyond that point. he regards self.
abnegation as fanatical asceticism.
Marriage, under French usage, says
II. ID. Sedgwick in Atlantic, is part
nership. in which such matters as
character, tastes, education, birth and
property are TO be considered; con-
tracing families scrutinize the pro-
posed bride and groom as IL coming
up for admittance into a club. They
look at our custom of marrying for
love with amazement, as we should
look at grocer's cart that started
on its rounds at 80 miles an hour
Our system confines it's view to the
romantic dreams of youth, and re-
CARDS matrimory rather as a holiday
cruise than voyage of life. We may
err in our endeavor to regard men
and women as disembodied spirits;
and yet we cannot but think that the
French err in their resolution to be
sensible and regard men and women
AS animals taken in the tolls OF soci.

into the future; theirs fingers too far
