EQUITY IN BUSINESS.
Practice Of live-and-let-live prinel-
Piles Most Desirable.

Too frequently 1t Is noticed that In
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights of the individual are ignored
Fair dealing is q desirable thing as
well as most simple and it requires
only common honesty to practice 1t.
Not alone Is there honesty involved
In the matter Of selling but also in
the matter of buying. 1t is quite as
dishonorable for the purchaser to ex-
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as 1t Is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods.
There is much sound philosophy In
the live-and-let-live gospel This is
nothing more than an observance Of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages Of enlightenment
from the time OF Gautama down to
the present In every day dealings 1t
is apparent that there is too much of
exaggerated selhshness In evidence.
too great struggle for the vantage.
There should be a spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard in
rural districts that the storekeepers
OF town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
1t noticed that where this feeling DOM
mates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? II Is
short sightedness on parts of mer-
chants to require Of their customers
legitimate and just profit. In fact, 1t
is poor business policy to follow out
plan of this kind. There are many
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through grasping tendency
OF the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount OF
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result Of pol
Icy Of this kind Is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
trading and quite often buy from the
distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. 1t is quite as diffcult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
of making exorbitant profits as 1t is
for the patron of the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings. the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the Gus
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle, 1t
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns, but for all the com
munities.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Power Of the Country Press and Its
Influences Upon the Community.

While the influences of the great
city papers are recognized and the
great magazines fill a necessary field,
neither OF these conveyers of general
information can ever supplant the field
that Is occupied by the country press
The home paper is the medium that
conveys local intelligence to its read
ers. 1t nils a place in the journalistic
world that no other publication can
ever supplant. The country press is
one Of the greatest powers in the
molding Of public opinion. 1t may not
be up to the highest classical standard,
but its rough literary gems are contln-
ually shining resplendent and cast
their rays In the most remote corners
Of the land. It ,is power for good.
In its reflections Of events, in the local
field are shown the progress OF the
people whom It represents. It Is the
mirror OF the condition Of the town
and the country. The residents OF
every community should take the.
greatest pride In assisting In making
the homo press more powerful. Stand
up for your home paper. It is the one
staunch advocate Of your local inter.
ests and to an extent is indicative Of
either your prosperity Or your lack Of
progress.

Half an hour or SO after WI and his

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-
seribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition Of physicians,
especially OF those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines. nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing concerns.-are. in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as II they were advertised In the

cines. which in public he condemns.
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tient himself, even while publicly dc.
crying what he calls "self-diagnosls. .
How rapid has been the growth Of the
professional use of "patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal Of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906. by A. jacob. M.
d., LII. ID. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded In several
drug stores we're carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent or proprietary
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in 1,5c0 called for ready.to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or pro
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent OF the total. This increased to
per cent In the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was IL per cent.
in 1898 1t was Is per cent. and in 1902
1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
DR.. Jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 70 per cent
Of the prescriptions were for patent
or proprietary" medicines. and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this 1t would seem that II the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good

The boomerang is rather puzzle.

The convexity on one side, the fat

insures a careful and judicious
expenditure Of the money by reason
OF the fact that those in control Of
the company, being the larger share
holders, have to contribute most Of
it. Where money comes into
company's treasury in large sums
from the sale of treasury shares
there is always tendency towards
extravaganza and besides this there
are one or more commissions
usually to be deducted from the
price paid by the investor.
For these reasons and especially
when the market is dull and the
disposition Of treasury shares at an
adequate price difficult or impos-
sible, shareholders should welcome
the levying Of an assessment as they
can rest assured that the manage
ment is taking the best course to
enhance the value OF their invest
ment at the least cost to themselves.
