Sales to Mail Order L;ouses,

Proprietors who sell mail order
houses directly should, by every law
full means, be induced to discontinue
marketing their goods through these
avenues. If desired results can be &C.
complished in NO other way, the pro-
prietors should be given the alterna-
tive of choosing between the retail
druggists, the logical distributors of
their goods, and the demoralizers
named. 1t Is the opinion of your COM
mittee that druggists would receive
far better treatment from all the pro-
prietors il aggressive efforts were
made by each druggist individually
to discourage the sale Of products that
are overpriced, those that are not
protected in any way against price de-
moralization, and those that are sup
piled by proprietors to mail order
houses with full knowledge that they
are to be sold to the consumer at
wholesale prices.
AS for the denials that are promptly
forthcoming whenever this subject is
preached to the proprietors that they
are supplying mail order houses, the
free use of electrotypes illustrating
certain lines of goods) as r con-
stantly appearing in the catalogues Of
these houses, electrotypes that are
identical with those the proprietors
themselves are constantly using, GER
tainly demands explanation.-Detroi

Some Few Facts as to country's Al.
legged Prosperity.

The Washington Post claims that
the men and women of this country
who work for salaries" as distin-
guished from the laborers who work
for wages" support one-third of the
entire population of the country, and
reach the number of 10000, 900. 1t
says there has been no increase in
salaries since 1880, while the purchas-
ing power of the dollar has, owing to
the flood of gold, decreased 80 per
cent. or more; so that this large sal
aried class of 10000 900 is really get
ting less for its services by 80 per
cent. or more, than it received in 1880.
Such prosperity as the country enjoys
Is due largely to the increased supply
of gold-perhaps solely to that cause.
Yet the very cause of this prosperity
brings poverty and want to the sal
aried class-the great middle class of
the American people. The bricklayer
gets six dollars a day, because his
class has organized; SO with other me-
chanics. The capitalist makes from
ten to one hundred per cent. on his
investments, because his class has
organized. Most of the school teach
ers, the clerks, the statesmen, ETC., get
from $40 to $50 a month, because they
think themselves too respectable to
organize their class into labor unions
on the one hand, or predatory trusts
u, the other. They are, therefore,
helpless. They can grumble, but no
one in power cares for such helpless,
unorganized grumblers. They usual
ly vote for prosperity" and get chaff
and husks to fill their stomachs with,
secondhand clothes to wear and a
hall room to live in. AS a rule the
salaried man is for the presidents
policies" right or wrong. He de-
spises the poor insignificant Demo-
crat, because he regards him as {
f~ree.trader, a labor agitator, a silver
lite, and a perpetual menace to shabby
genteel society in general. He grum-
bIes at his fate, but glories in his re-
s~pectability and thanks God that he is
rot as other men. The result is that
his owners, the trusts and the Repub-
lican party, fleece him and kick him;
while the laboring men and the Demo
Gratis generally pity him, but cannot
help him, because he is, on the aver
age, a fool beyond redemption.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Also Have Things to Learn.

"For many years ! have used coffee

Hon. R. s. Tharin, Attorney at Law

writes from Pennsylvania Ave, N. W.,
Washington, d. c., as follows:
Having used Peruna for catarrhal
disorders, l am able to testify to its
great remedial excellence and do not
hesitate to give it tiny emphatic endorse

Roosevelt on War and Peace.

Those who doubt Mr.. Ro~osevelt's
protestation of peaceful designs in
connection with the dispatch Of the
fleet to the Pacific remember that, in
addressing the Naval War college
when assistant secretary of the navy
presumably after mature considera-
tion-he said: mo triumph of peace
is quite SO great as the supreme tri-
umph of war" And that he has en-
~phasized this bloodthirsty doctrine
with a sneer: "Scant attention is paid
to the coward or weakling who bab-
bles for peace"

is This Prosperity?

For the first quarter Of the present
fiscal year, that is, for July, August
and September, 1907, the total Of in
solvencies was greater than that Of
any similar period within ten years.
The liabilities of in~solvents in June,
July and August were twice as great
as those for the summer months of
1905 or 1906. This may account for
the tightness Of money. People are
getting more and more cautious be-
cause of these conditions. They are
wisely boarding their money for the
ny day.

GOODS MADE IN swEArsHops.
Workers in Large Cities Compelled to
Labor for Little Compensation.

The average resident of the small
town or of the farming district has
little conception of conditions which
prevail among the working classes of
the large cities. Now and then some
article may appear in a magazine or
newspaper relating to the "sweatshop"
system, but few understand what this
means. 1t is simply this: In the gar
Matchmaking line and kindred indus
tries different articles of goods are
made by contract for so-called manu-
facturers. The sweatshops are found
in the closely crowded tenement dis
tricts, and generally are small rooms
into which the workers are crowded.
The different garments are cut out at
another place, and are sent to be sewn
together to the "sweatshops" which
serve as a living place as well as a
work shop. Each worker receives so
much per dozen for garments sewed,
and the price is barely sufficient to
pay living expenses. A woman will
work all day sewing shirts together,
and will receive from 40 to so cents
for her labor. Those who work on
shirts confine themselves to this par
ticular line; the ones who sew trcls-
ers, the same, and the coatmakers and
vestmakers are all confined to their
particular classes of work. What
they receive is so scaled down as to
allow the poorest kind of an existence.
These shops are controlled by men
who dispose of their goods to houses
which compete with the regular deal
ers throughout the country. Keep
the price of production at the lowest"
Is the motto of these manufacturers,
and the result is worn out and miser-
able women and children whose unfor-
tunate circumstances compel them to
thus labor in order to buy food.
Benevolent associations and socie-
ties for the prevention of crime have
repeatedly tried to break up these
horrible places, but they manage to
exist in every city of any size, par
ticularly in eastern cities. People
who live in the country can assist in
preventing the operations of these
shops by not patronizing any con-
Germs which make extraordinary of
fers in the line of clothing for men
and women in catalogues and circu-
lars sent through the mails. 1t is
such concerns that support the sweat
shop system. No reputable clothing
dealer handles sweatshop goods. So
therefore the entire output of the fac
tories go to the concerns that do a
miscellaneous class of business by
mail throughout the country. 1t is
only the very cheapest kinds of cloth
ing that come from the sweatshops.
The better classes are manufactured
in large and roony factories, where
there is plenty of fresh air and light,
and where men and women are paid
good wages, and these are the classes
of goods sold by the regular trade.
There is danger in wearing clothing
made in the sweatshops, as owing to
the closely crowded rooms and geneT-
squalid conditions, germs of dis
ease are plentiful, and it has been
known that smallpox, measles, scarlet
fever and other infectious diseases
have been carried and spread through
out the country by clothing from
these infected places.

There is language of umbrellas as
of flowers. For instance, place your
umbrella in rack 9nd it will often In
dicate that it will change owners.
TO open it quickly in the street means
that somebody's eye is going to be in
danger.
To slut it quickly signifies that hat
or two will probably be knocked off.
An umbrella carried over woman,
the man getting nothing but the drip
pings of the rain, signifies courtship.
When man has the umbrella and
the woman the drippings it indicates
marriage.
To swing your umbrella over your
shoulder signifies II am making nuis-
anCe of myself"
TO put an alpaca umbrella by the
side Of Il silk one signifies Exchange
is no robbery"
To lend an umbrella indicates II am
u fool"
10 return an umbrella means-well,
never mind what it means. Nobody
ever does that.-Spare Moments.

Funny RebeIlions.

A rebellion in China, as u rule, Is a
comparatively harmless affair, says the
Times of India. The people inform
the governor that his exactionS are in
excess Of custom and that he must re-
duCe them. If he agrees the matter
ends. If not, there Is a demonstration
and perhaps some shooting, but this is
only preliminary to a compromise, for
the Peking government never backs up
its officials when force has to be resort
ed to- and the people have far too
much respect for authority to push any
successes to extremes. The troops
boast of the numbers of the enemy
they have killed, but the fighting does
not often amount to very much. A
typical story is told Of the taotai Of a
city which shall be nameless who
claimed to have put down a rebellion,
but explained when pressed for par
ticElars that it had not been necessary
to light since by happy inspiration he
had shaken out tiger skin, which had
so frightened the insurgents that they
had all run away.

There was something dramatic In the
way Jimmie fished up Miss JacksOn's

criminal and forced him to disgorge

He was about ready TO take his leave,
but had been urged to call at his con-

Blynn, who was in a city real estate
office but living in Hastings. and an
acquaintance of the aunt, called on a
matter of business
He had barely been introduced to

lege. professor of languages" when
the ladies noticed that Tom stared and
the professor changed color. 1t SEEM
ed plain that both had met before.
Toms stare became a scowl. With a
gesture, oddly appealing, the other
man stopped him and said to the la
dies:
Il have waited until the last moment
to tell you that this may be my last
call here. The university has decided
to send me to the island of Samalong
to study the very peculiar language of
its people, and l expect to be gone
year or more. Miss Jackson, If l

you l am extremely pleased. Mrs.
Harper, you have made my calls very
pleasant and agreeable, and l thank
you"
AS he bowed his way out he was fol-
lowed by Tom Blynn, whose face wore
a very determined look. Jimmie Slip
ped his arm through the others, and
when they were hidden by the shrub
berry he squared off and said:

you for showing me up"
Professor, l bid you godspeed on
your way to Samalong," replied Tom
as he raised his hat and extended his
hand and thus they parted.
At the house the two women were
very curious and asked many Ques-
tlons but Tom would not give them
much information beyond saying that
it was just as well that the professor
was going away. An hour later, after
she had had time to think things over,
Mrs. Harper felt that she had got pret-
ty near the truth but she sighed as
she said to Miss Irene:
Poor professor. He was such an
entertaining gentleman"

Strength In Vegetable Growth.

Strength is not thing usually at
tributed to maidenhair fern" remark
ed local florist, "and yet If its roots
have not sufficient room they will
break the strongest flowerpots. Blades
Of grass will force the curbstones be-
tween which they spring out of place.
Indeed, the strength of vegetable
growth is wonderful. The most strik-
ing example is the island of Aldabra,
to the northwest Of Madagascar. The
island Is becoming smaller and smaller
through the action of the mangroves
growing at the foot Of the cliffs. The
roots break off immense pieces OF
stone. which fall into the sea. Into
the gaps thus formed the waves eat
their way. In few years it is likely
that by the combined action Of the
waters and mangroves the island will
disappear. r."-Philadelphia Record.
