How TO Attract Home Trade.

Some merchants and other
business men complain because
the people do not patronize home
industries.
The newspaper is a home in
dustry.
Most of these complainers do
not patronize this paper.
Now, this paper has adverts-
ing space for sale.
Suppose a man or woman
wants a certain thing. finds it adj
vertised in a mail order catalogue
and does not find it advertised in
the paper. what will the man or
woman do? Why, send to the
mai order house, of course.
BY persistent and intelligent
advertising you are sure to at
tract and keep much of the trade
that now goes off by mail to the
city.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in q thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
If there is any suspicion of damp.
ness in q bedroom it is probably due,
II there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because Of its dampness but also
because Of its power to retain infec-
ton Of many kinds.
The desired method of treating q
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall is perfect wall. It
never flakes OF, chips or peels. 1t abb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores Of the plaster and makes q
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-.
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
In the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as we'll as an evidence OF poor
housekeeping.

STOLE \ COURT ROOM CLOCK.
Coolies Trick in Honskons a Story Not

Coolies Trick in Honokons Story Not
Told to Strangers.
There is one story OF Hongkong
that has never been told In this coun.
try" said the man from the tropics.
I'and / guess that it's because Hong.
kong has always been ashamed to let
the story get out. For IL ever the
laugh was on the whole community, 1t
settled upon that damp village the
time the coolies went to the court
house to fix the clock.
"Hongkong prides itself on its mu-
nicipal buildings, particularly upon
the hall Of Justice. Over on the wall,
opposite where the Justices bench is,
there used to be fine marble clock,
an immense affair
whenever tourists visited the hall
Of justice the big sikh at the entrance
used to call particular attention to
that marble clock. It was his pride
and one of his chief joys of duty was
to wind 1t every week.
Not very long ago when court was
sitting two Chinese coolies, dressed as
mechanics, presented 8, themselves be-
fore the door Of the court room. They
carried ten-foot ladder between
them. The sikh stopped them.
ALE li-fixum clock pidgin,' said
,ne of the coolies, and the big Indian
admitted them.
"They went right over to the vail
under the clock, hoisted their ladder
noiselessly and with due difference to
the majesty of the law, represented by
the justice on his woolsack across the
room, took that marble clock down
from its fastenings. Then they. trotted
out of the court room, one carrying the
clock and the other shouldering the
ladder.
'sThe reason why Hongkong will
never tell the story on itself is that no
more was ever seen either OF the
coolies or the marble clock"

Some growers prefer to get stock as
well developed as possible, thinking
thus to get bearing trees earlier. No
doubt two-year stock will bear earlier
than yearlings If both are neglected,
but If the methods of forming the tree

to get yearling stock and then make

not planned like an annual crop nor
Nike an alfalfa field, but its life is long

be done unless it is kept in condition,

trees properly formed. We seldom in

CARL COURLANDER, English financier of

mysterious influence in government and inter
national affairs, invited select few to a house
party at Tudor Hundreds, his estate at Dunstable
The guests included Lord Domestic, Prime Min

Carrs daughter; Abraham Crampiron Courander's
financial rival; Norah Crampiron, the latter's
son; and Emile Berger, French architect the
designer of wonderful statue in the midst of
Tudor Hundreds, also in love with Milcent.
The statue unveiled with appropriate eclat
and dinner served in of its chambers
At the conclusion of the repast Carl announced
a German loan to the Sultan of Morocco, which
would result in between England, France
and Germany. This announcement evoked con-
