Home trading makes home indus
tries, brings more to the town and
keeps them there, and it helps to build
up the place But the town will be at
a stand-still so long as the people per-
sist in this way of robbing the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
If the people will keep their money
at home there VIII be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, 1t will take on metropoli-
tan look, and the people will say to
their neighbor that business is good,
and it will be, as long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar
kets. The least that "a person can do
toward the betterment of the COM
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and see to it
that 1t is put where it is most needed
and wanted.

all concerned in the welfare of his

lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can

yAvELLE WATER EASILY MADE
VIII Remove from Fabrics Most OBJ
stinate Stains of Fruit.


Javelle water is sold by most drug
gists, but it is not difficult to make
and is much less expensive when pre-
pared at home. Every laundress
should use it, as it is effective in keep
ing linen and children's dresses free
from fruit stains. A small teacup OF
the fluid added to boiler OF water.
will assist materially in keeping the
clothes white and will not hurt them
IN the least. The most obstinate
stains of fruit, tea, coffee, etc., in the
tablecloth and napkins will suceumb
to an application of one part javelle
water diluted with four parts Of soft
water. If the stained article is soaked
in this fluid for several hours, thor
oughly washed and rinsed, it will
usually come out perfectly white and
clean. Only white goods can be treat
ed this way, however, as javelle water
is likely to fade eclors. 1t is made
thus: Place four pounds of bfcarhon-
ate of soda in large granite or porce-
lain lined pan and pour over 1t four
quarts of hot water. Stir with a stick
until the soda has dissolved, add a
pound of chloride of lime and stir I'M
til this has dissolved. Allow the liquid
to cool in the pan, strain the portion
through thin cloth into wide mouthed
jugs or bottles, and cork tightly for
use. The part that contains the sedi-
ment also may be bottled and used for
cleaning the sink, kitchen table. etc.

into one of the compartments SO as to
be always at hand, while the ribbons
of different colors may be wound
round visiting cards, and these should
be slipped into the pockets, the whole
being folded over and secured with a
bow of ribbon.

Picked WaInuts.

The picking of walnuts is one of the
old-time bits of housewifery that has
almost passed into disuse. Here is an
excellent recipe:
Cover with very strong brine and
keep the nuts in this for three days;
drain and recover with brine. AT the
end of three days drain again and
leave in fresh cold water for six hours.
Bring to boil a gallon of vinegar, in
which you have stirred a cupful of SUI
gar, two tablespoonfuls each of whole
cloves and peppercorns, tablespoon
full of allspice and eight blades of
mace. Boil for ten minutes, pack the
nuts in a crock and pour the scalding
vinegar over them. At the end of
three days drain off the vinegar, bring
it to the boil and pour it again over
the nuts. Cover and set aside for six
weeks before eating.

NEED OF STANDARD WEIGHTS.
wheat Sold by 20 Different Measures
In Great Britain.

The advocates of the metric system
want no better justification than
tables just prepared for the year book
Of the British Auctioneers insstitute.
1t is learned from this that the price
of wheat is made and the cereal is
sold In 20 different ways in England,
Scotland and Wales.
1t is measured variously by the
quarter, comb, load, boil, bushel, bar
rel, hundredweight, GENITAL, windle
and hobbet. Further confusion is
caused by varying weights of busheI
in different parts of the country
A bon is three bushels in some
places and four and six in others.
There are similar absurd variations
in other weights and measures.
For instance, a stone of meat is
eight pounds, a stone Of iron IL
pounds, stone of cheese Is pounds
and a stone of hemp 80 pounds.
There are seven different areas Of
the standard acre in Great Britain.
The vagaries of liquid measures are
equally bewildering.

Boston Periodical Advises Trial OF
Two Good Recipes.

A southern cousin has sent US two
recipes of peculiarly southern dishes
that will be appreciated, says the

and chopped herbs, being very careful
to stir constantly and, very fast to
prevent burning. Add the sherry, ii
possible, and the cup of water or the
consomme Let it boil UP once and

Kidneys are like eggs. They do not

hat they are in reality paying more

that they are In reality paying more
for an inferior grade of goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world ana
begun operations in the United States,
all kinds of schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking Tor
bargains. No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol
lar of the country people, and they
have been so far successful, at the
great expense Of the home town of the
people that sent their money TO these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or Is cents a year.
They build. up circulation on this
| low price of hundreds of thousands.
this circulation brings to them mil
! lions of dollars in advertising from the
| catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for advertising is more than
| doubled from the sales of these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came is the cheapest place in the
country to buy, and it is, if the person
receiving this catalogue wants 4 cheap
article, not only in price, but also in
make and material. The farmer re-
ceives this catalogue, looks it over,
and after reading the well composed
guarantee or assurance that the goods
described in it are the very best that
can be found anywhere, sends in an
order. The house receives the order
and Immediately ships the articles
| wanted. The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box IL
opened it is found to contain some
thing much below his expectations
but this does not satisfy his mind or
the fact that he has been duped and
that he is not getting his full! money
value. In a second order he may be
treated the same as the first one, but
still he may think that he has saved
| money by buying it where he coult
get it cheap.
At the same time the merchant a
home has the goods on the shelf II
mis- store waiting for them to be take1
. away SO that he can replace them will
! newer goods, thereby keeping hi
stock fresh and up-to-date. If he ha
not the article wanted he can order |
, from the wholesaler or manufacture
and it will be sent to the purchase

as if it had been ordered from cata
logue house. The home merchant

The above head is a subject that
can well be treated as open for dis
cussion and consideration at any and
all times. 1t is also a subject that
should interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare of the community
in which he lives and who wishes to
see it grow and prosper.
No person can afford to do what he
knows will work an injury to the COM
munity in which he lives. In justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port to the home industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
Of the town in which ne goes 30 do his
trading.
In considering this question 1t
should be borne in mind that the coun-
Try people, like all other American
citizens, are always on the lookout for
place to invest their money that
will bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure; in this they
are right and are justified in SO doing
but, at the same time they should re
member that they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
they send to foreign markets.
If they should stop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated
and look into, and know, the true con
dition of affairs, probably they woul6
reconsider the stand they had takeI
toward them. In many cases the PEG
pie are ignorant of the true surround
ings and inside operations of these
concerns and think they are doing
right in sending them their money
They are led to believe that what the,

same article that the home merchan
sells, only at a much lower price. Thu
majority of the people do not know
that they are buying the cheapes
