the risks of damage in transit, you pay

get your goods you discover as a rule

THE LOYAL CITIZEN.
His Duty In Relation to His Own
Community Pointed Out.
FAVOR LOCAL INSTITUTIONS.

Why He Should Patronize Home Mer.
chants-PitfaIs In Mail Order Propo-
sitons-LocaI Dealer More DePenda-
bIe-And Don't Forget the Printer.
In recent issue the Daily Forum of
Bucyrus, O., presents a plain talk on
the duty of the loyal citizen in relation
to his home town. The argument is
applicable to every town in America.
1t runs as follows:
The first duty Of every citizen Is to
be law abiding. The second duty Is to
be loyal to his own community, to be
public spirited, to support home insti-
tutions and to patronize home industry
and home trade.
Very few people will dispute these
propositions. 1t is especially the last
which we want to talk about little in
this connection. This paper consistent
ly and at oil times has advocated and
urged the support of home merchants,
but it Is we'll to keep the reasons why
this is the duty Of all fresh in mind. A
few of them we wish to call attention
to just now.
In the first place 1t is your home
dealer who does you good. He pays
taxes to support your local government
and your schools. He contributes to
the support of your churches, and he
IS the man who goes down in his peck
ct and puts up the price when new in
dustries are knocking at your door and
there is an opportunity to better local
conditions, to improve real estate val
ues and to make your community bet
ter in every way.
In the second place, he is the man
you go to in case of misfortune and
when in need Of favors. With all for
eign dealers, either in the mail order
line or in the cities that you OCCASION
ally visit, business is il cold blooded
proposition. If you have the cash in
your hand, you can buy their goods.
If you have not the money, it makes
no difference to them that your wife
or child is sick, that you are out of
work or that misfortune in any guise
has come to you. No cash, no goods.
The benefit Is theirs. The hardship is
yours, and your only salvation Is the
kindly merchant at home, who cannot
bear to see his neighbor suffer even
though he knows that the money that
should have been spent with him has
gone to strangers for fancied saving
Of few pennies. You ask him for
the favor, and you get it too.
Then comes the question, Do you
save anything in the end? You will
surely agree, If you have had much ex-

iii fine condition until it is almost en-
tirely worn out.
Nothing IS more neglected than the
removal Of worn material from the
road. 1t seems to be regarded merely
as a clearing Of the surface from mud
and as such an unnecessary expense,
while in reality this worn material af-
fects the entire composition of the road
covering. Consequently, unless the
mud is washed away by nature from
the surface, scraping or sweeping is
necessary to preserve the proper pro-
portion of solid stone in the road.
When road Is broken or cut into
by excessive weights, it is no longer a
mere matter of replacing wear, but Of
expensive repair, and in many cases
of entire reminding.

Looking For Stars.
Living to Old Age.

DR.. Wiley, who works for the gov
eminent Mt Washington and feeds ex-
detrimental classes adulterated food to
see whether 1t will do to them all that
is claimed on the wrapper, says that
the next generation will consider it an
everyday trick to live 100 years, and
that any one in the future who dies of
anything but old age will be so
ashamed Of himself that he won't
speak to the neighbors.
That sounds almost as hopeful as the
label on a patent medicine bottle, but

ton most people will claim Missouri

MUSHROOMS AND TOADSTOOLS.

Really the Only Genuine Safe Rule Is
to Eat Your Steak without EN-.
Perhaps there would be fewer poison
ings from the eating Of what are called
''toadstools' if people both could and
would get 1t through-or, rather, into
their heads that there are no such
things as toadstools at least In the
sense in which the word Is commonly
used, says the New York Times.
The popular impression, which
amounts to conviction, is that there
are two kinds of fungi one that is edi-
bic and one that is poisonous, and that
when the former have been called
mushrooms and the latter toadstools
sufficient distinction has been made,
OF course words can be so employed,
and the name Of a thing certainly is
the name by which it is known, but the
trouble il that in this case the distinc-
ton does not distinguish, that its fail
ure to do so makes it extremely danger
Gus, and, not least important, that It
causes great range among the scientific
folk and not much less among the folk
who only have a scientific turn Of mind.
The danger arises from the fact that
too often the person who has been told
that a certain fungus Is a toadstool
and therefore not to be eaten, assumes
that II he avoids that particular varie-
ty In the future he Is safe. Had he
been told that it was one Of the many
poisonous varieties Of mushrooms he
would not only have acquired a DIT of
accurate information, with incidental
realization Of what an immense number
Of varieties Of mushrooms there are,
