This very interesting program was given

fair sized audience that was attentive and
appreciative,
Mrs. Welpton sang her songs with the In

have come to expect Of her. The pleasure
which she gave was very plain to see. A
most graceful compliment was her selection

Mr. Duffleld and Mr.. scherzel were the as

Give Charm to Town.

Attractive streets, well paved, good sidewalks, clean appearing buildings, signG arranged well, all go to add charm to a town. One of the things that often gives strangers to a town bad impression is the loose manner in which storekeepers and others take care of the exterior of their places. Often not sign about the place is to be found to designate the character of the business carried on, and this can only be known by peep through the open door. The windows are often arranged in such a way as to give little knowledge of the goods handled During the summer time awnings hanging low over the walks. so the passer-by must stoop to avoid them, are found in many places. Just a little care is needed to improve along these lines. An attractive sign does not cost much and is a good in- vestment for the storekeeper. Clean Illness in front of business places makes a good impression. In fact strangers will seldom enter a stoI if the outside appearance indicates slov- enliness and carelessness. The up-

FOOL THE PEOPLE
MOTTO OF "GET-RICH-QUICk"
 MEN AND FAkiRS.
HOW SCHEMES ARE WORKED
Desire to Get "Something for Noth- ing" Is Played Upon-Exercise of Common Sense Would
 End Graft.

You can fool some of the people part of the time. but you can fool oth- CTS all the time," seems to be a motto of the get-richquick men and gold brick" operators. Pages of the daily and weekly press may be filled with warnings to readers to be on the look out for swindlers, yet many who are credited with intelligence will keep right on biting at baits thrown out to them by various concerns who sell ''cats in bags"
 Psychologists say that every person has weak spot somewhere in the brain. It seems that this softness is commonly manifested in false reason ing that frequently one can get some thing for nothing Understanding this desire on part of the majority, the fakirs bait their hooks accordingly. There are large concerns which have built up great enterprises by repre- senting to the people that with each bill of goods purchased the buyer gets something for nothing"
 Just think of a graft" like this that will draw S1,S00 worth of soap or ders in single month from town of 10000 people But this is just what has been done within the past few months. Just think of wives of grocers and dry goods merchants in large cities joining "soap clubs" and paying a dollar each month to a for eign concern just to secure pre- mium, while their husbands could supply them at half the cost all the soap and the premium too, Yet such is the drawing power of 'the something for nothing" argument. if the Creator gave these women com mon sense, they little know how to utilize it.
 Some means should be devised to 1 tax directly or indirectly the con- cerns in foreign cities that seek to 1 do business directly with consumers through the mails. At present they are protected by the interstate com merce law. These concerns make their money by dealing with the peo- 1 pie of soms community, where they pay no taxes direct or license fees.
 The merchants of the town are | taxed upon the business they do. Is l this proposition a fair one? The for eign insurance companies doing busi- ness in state must pay a license fee for so doing. Why not compel the foreign mercantile concern to do the same? Our national laws should be so constructed as to provide that | there be a tax on the amount of busi- ness transacted in state by any mercantile concern in another state, unless the business be transacted by concerns which pay taxes within the | state for the doing of such business | D. M CARR.

Deception Practiced,

Those who would not be defrauded by sharpers who use the advertising columns of the city papers would do we'll in carefully considering each proposition which attracts their atten- tion Remember that those who ad- vertise are not philanthropists. They are out after the dollars, and have nothing to give away, unless it is in exchange for money. The concern that offers an exceptional bargain needs to be studied we'll before in- vestment be made. Everything has legitimate value, and is worth so much in the markets of the world. When it is offered at less than it's apparent real value, look out for fraud and deception. Generally every good town affords the buyer a chance to obtain whatever he requires, and at price consistent with quality Those who patronize home stores are less likely to be deceived

MAKING CHEAP GOODS.
Low Prices Too Often Mean Inferior
 Articles.

Efforts to cheapen cost of produc- tion of numerous classes of goods and to place them on the market in com petition with we'll advertised lines, and at much lower price, has influ- enced not too honest manufacturers to turn out very inferior articles. So long as they can be made attractive those whose tastes are for the "showy'' seems to be the only consid- eration. In the manufacture of stoves and ranges particularly is there great opportunity for fraud. In different cities of the middle west are large concerns that make a speciality of manufacturing stoves to supply deal

CTS who depend On cheapnesA to SC. cure sales. These manufacturers buy from junk dealers all classes of old iron, and this remelted and worked over enters largely into their manu- factured articles. The result is that a stove is produced that while it ap- pears to be all right, few months use will prove it to be almost worth less. The tensile strength is not there, the metal is rotten and brittle, and the expansion caused by the heat makes it warp and crack, The Things are of the poorest material.
 One of the tricks employed is the use of old sheet iron for lining. Throughout the south and in many of the large northern cities the manu- facture of artificial ice is extensively carried on. Galvanized iron cans of the capacity of a 300-pound ice-cake are used, and in every large plant thousands of cans are in use. The ammonia that is used in the process of freezing soon causes the cans to corrode, and then they are rendered
 
 stove manufacturing concerns buy up these discarded cans, and use them for lining stoves. It can be judged that the life of the stove in this way is shortened, but as the stoves are never intended to last long, the lining is as good as the other material which enters into their composition. In appearance these stoves are all that can be desired, but their wearing and durable qualities are not half that of a properly made stove should be. They are often Sold at as high prices as tka best Srtict>, more frequent fy are disposed of as 'big bargains, and are dealt in extensively by con- cerns that advertise themselves as manufacturers" and do business "di- rect with the consumers" through the mails. Makers of stoves who put out brands of goods known to be standard never resort to such methods, as one inferior stove might result in the loss of dozen sales. and no reputable stove dealer or hardware merchant would handle the goods

TUm0RS CONQUERED Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pnkhams
 Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Con- pound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor,
 The growth of tumor is so in- sidious that frequently it's presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced.
 So called wandering pains" may come from it's early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh.
 If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound, made from native roots and herbs, right away and begin it's use.
 The following letters should con- vince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors.

It has made me strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as live.

Ruildinu un Trusts

During the past ten years billions of dollars have been sent to the large cities by the residents of rural con- munities, and these billions have been used in building up trusts that work against the best interests of the masses who reside in agricultural sec. tions. Is it not time to awaken to the dangers of sending money away from the home towns?

 Mrs. s. J. Barber. of Scott, N. Y. writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 Sometime ago I wrote you for advice about tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and today am well woman."
 Mrs. M. M. Funk. vandergrift, Pa., writes:

 Such testimony as above is con- vincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound stands without peer as a remedy for Tumor Growths as well as other distressing ills of women, and such symptoms as Bearing-down Sensations, Displace- ments, Irregularities and Backache, etc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E.

Another Meanest Man,

We've heard of the meanest man in town, and his faithful wife in her faded gown, and of Maud in the stub- ble raking hay, when the good old judge rode her way; and the famous liar with line and pole, and the truant boy and swimming hole; but the freak of all is the man who goes and buys for family food and clothes on credit for six months or more, from the keep CT of the local store, and when for cash he sells his crops, at the local store he never stops; forgets the bill he ought to pay, and for things he wants he sends away to Make & Fake who want the "mon," and who sell flor cash to everyone. This man with mind of little strength, can't see the "plunk" at arms length. but grabs the penny near his eye, and lets the glittering dollars lie.
