Crown Prince.s mn,

While the health of the Crown Princes second son. born two weeks ago, Is said to be excellent, the condi- tion of the Crown Princess is reported to be rather alar ming.
 These reports are officially denied, but as it Is we'll known fact that the young princess's sister. Crown Princess Aiexandrine of Denmark is suffering with incipient consumption, and she herself has grown very thin of late, the denials are not generally believed.
 Rumors continue to the effect that the whole imperial family with the ex- ception of the Crown Prince, whose du- ties prevent him, are to spend the greater part of the winter in the Med iterranean. probably in Achilleion on Corfu.

 A high Prussian army officer. whose name still remains secret, has just stop ped the publication of a book entitled "A Prussian General" written by him. because he was afraid the publisher would be forced to reveal his identity.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

"Our little girl, one year and o
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called 1t.
We called in the family doctor. and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right In few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. said 1t was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, SO we let him try II about
a week. One morning we discovered
q little yellow pimple on one OF
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since 1t was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help It. We thought we would try
doctor No. 8. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one OF the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so went and purchased
a set Of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81. and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. OF course It could not
restore tho eyesight, but II We had

Giant Mail Order Concerns
Are Sapping Country of
Its Wealth.
SMALLER TOWNS CRUSHED
BY Assisting In the Capitalization
Of Wealth, Patrons Of These In
situations Contribute to Their
Own Injury.

Copyright 1905, by Alfred C. Clark.)
Every year millions upon millions of
dollars find their way from the towns,
villages and rural districts Of the coun-
try to the Golfers of the mail order
houses in the cities, and go to the up
building Of enormous institutions in
the centers Of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
lions are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
a story so stupendous that its full sig
nificance cannot be grasped in mo-
ment, but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago, did bust
ness amounting in round numbers to
$S0,000,000. In The year 1904 these
same concerns did business of about
$62,000,O00, a gain of $1S,000,OOO or
nearly 80 per cent. in single year be-
ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year of one dollars worth of merchan.
disc for every man, woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone, and those operating from the
same central point. Dozens more of
varying size and Importance are oper.

pie of the smaller towns and the agri.
cultural districts. In hundreds OF
thousands Of the homes of these the
catalogue of the mail order house Is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The man on the farm last year sent
very large portion of eighty millions
of dollars to two of these institutions,
in one community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting,
purely for the sake of the argument,
that the farmer or the resident OF the
small community can save few dol
lars on some of his purchases, or even
that he could do so on all of them, can
he afford to continue to impoverish
his own community.
If he will ask himself this question
and consider 1t soberly and fairly in
all of it's phases, including the many
which cannot be touched upon within
the limits of a single article. we think
his answer must be that he cannot.
The wonderful productivity of this
country has been sufficient to over.
come the various adverse economic In
fuences which have existed during the
period of years in which the mail or
der business has accomplished its
greatest growth. Everyone has been
getting along pretty WELL" While the

ties, 1t has not yet occasioned great
disaster. The test will come with the
first pinch of hard times" condi
ton which no country ever has been
able to escape at recurring intervals
When this time arrives those com
munities will best stand the test which
have best conserved and husbanded
their resources.

The Jasper news., 1907-02-07

A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the mail order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands OF
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to, already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81, 900, 900, and probably more,
for a new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least s1.000,0o0 for an i'm
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
ly on the subject must become I'M
pressed that the influence of the mail
order business is toward the central
ization of wealth, and how enormous
a part it Is playing In this sdirection
will be understood from a second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
1t is due TO himself that every patron
OF the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out
come is to be II the mail order bust
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked its prog
ress during the last half decade.
1t Is useless to repeat the we'll worn
argument of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants In
the regular channels of trade to leave
their customers more money than
ever to devote to home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy OF this

SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by
French Blganist.

At Versailles, France, recently q
baker was tried on a, charge of polyg-
amy. having married Ave women,
who are living and undivorced. The
pentagamists defense was that he
had not married the women; they had
married him. When they proposed
he had not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love. he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim Of the stronger wills. OF his
successive spouses. OF the Ave wives
three appeared as witnesses, but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was a topper of whom
they were glad to get rid. He was
acquitred--on what ground does not
appear. AS all the years in which
the multiplex husband took wives
were leap years except 1881, la which
1t would seem that in four out of
the five cases the women had tho
right to propose. But the man had
the right, even in the leap years, to
decline, and It was up to him at least
to explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged. To establish the prin-
ciple that a man Is not responsible
for the number of his wives unless
he himself does the counting, would
be plainly against public policy. II
