From these experiments Herr Gruhn
draws the conclusion that the metal con-
tinually gives out an emanation of gaseous
matter, composed. not of atoms of tho
metal, but rather of product of trans
formation from these atoms The metal
possesses the power of storing this odorous
matter in the same way as carbonic acid
is stored in water. To each given tempera-
ture corresponds a maximum amount OF
odorous matter which the metal is capable
of retaining. The metal thus becomes
saturated. voluntary prolonged cooling
should accordingly result in a more copiaus
accumulation OF odorous matter in tho
metal. This is really borne out by Herr
Gruhn's experiments
The experimenter has finally succeeded
in separating and isolating In vessel the
odor given out from metal.

TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY IT IS THE
BEST POLICY.
SELF-INTEREST A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
as a Whole Benefits Each lndi-
vidual-The "Why and
Wherefore"

AS self-interest is the law which gov
erns the transactions of trade, 1t is the
first light In which the subject of
Trading at Home must be treated.
Sentiment has little influence in trade.
h prosperity of any community
depends on the volume of business
transacted within its borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount Of money In circulation and
any influence which takes money out
of a community is detrimental t. the
financial welfare of the community.
1t is in this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a COM
munity. Money which should be kept
in local circulation goes to swell the
volume Of money in the distant city
instead Of remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as the me-
dunn CT transfer among local mer.
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion of money
Is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby; it extends eventu-
ally to every member Of the COM
munity: 1t is a curtailment of business
which affects the value of all property
oven to the labor of the man who is
dependent on a days work for his liv-
ing. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home in a degree
which more than offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
the purchase.
Every dollar sent out of any com-
munity for goods which can be our.
chased at home represents a percent

the community. II the community Is

vanoes rapidly. There is money for
public improvements, money for new
enterprises. The money which the
loyal man makes at home Is invested
at home; the city grows. the streets
are improved and the marks Of pros.
perity and progress are evident on
every side.
We are wont to inveigh against the
one town and invests 1t In another.
We criticize him for want of loyalty
to the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
injustice by his failure to put his
money in home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
perity of u city. The criticism is
justified and 1t holds Just as good in a
lesser degree to the man who trades
out Of town. IL is the same offense
on a smaller scale.
The effect Of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has in
mind a notable instance. Two cities
of about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides of a river
which is a boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade in the two towns. The
m~illionaires of one of the cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out. AS a result, the town is
rapidly forging to the front; every one
Is prosperous, the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
millionaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because of
lack of capital; merchants are fail
ing; stores and houses are being va
Gated; people are moving away and a
general air of poverty and decay per.
vades the place.
Few cities present such strong ex.
amples of the value of money spent at
home but the same principle holds
true in every community. 1t Is due

age of injustice to the community it.
self. In the first place, some merchant
loses the profit on a sale. Not only
that, but the price of the article rep
resents so much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
up mean that the operations of the
merchant are curtailed to that extent.
He has that much less to spend; that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage of the
butcher, the baker and the other pur-
veyors of the necessities of life; to in
vest in property, in newspaper adver-
Using; to deposit in bank where it
may be used by other members of the
community, or to devote to church or
charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita of circulation in the community;
q factor which determines largely the
value Of all goods or property on the
market; the scale of wages and the in
terest on loans.
1t is not hard to trace the effect of
the diversion of money from its legiti-
mate channels. When money is scarce
trade %languishes because of the lack
of circulating medium; merchants and
all others curtail expenses; the volume
of trade decreases n nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter of the circulating
medium. When the volume of money
increases, trade moves and 1t Owe
as fast as the volume of money will
permit. Money that is working is con-
stantly producing profit to all; money
that Is not working produces stagna-
ton In trade.
Accordingly, it is to the interest Of
every member Of a community to con-
fine his expenditures al nearly as pos
sibIe to the community In which he
lives. Every dollar he spends at home
helps to make his own holdings nor
valuable because they are more salable.
When a community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and If the money Is not divert
ed, 1t revolves constantly in the finan.
cial circle of the community. earning
a profit for everyone who handles 1t
and turns it over.
Accordingly, the money spent at
home is bearing compound interest for
the community. Its effect Is apparen!
even to the outsider. Spending money
at home is a species OF loyalty which
! makes materially for the progress ol

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
Or. Williams. Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds OF Other Cases Of

common Ailments
Loss Of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and q dull, sluggish feeling these are
the symptoms Of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach Is ON q strike:
that 1t is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old II by which the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new II
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of IL.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that OF Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
II suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backnches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years. / was under the
care of our family physician most Of the
time, but did not seem to get better.
II was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the house.
My blood was impure and my complex
ion pale. l suffered from flashes Of
heat, followed suddenly by chills. I
had awful headaches, which lasted from
three to four days. l could get but little
rest at night, a my sleep was broken
and fitful. As a result / lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-
vous.
II was in a wretched condition when
I heard about DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
/ started to take the pills at once and
began to gain in weight and health. I
was encouraged by this to keep on until
1 was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what q changed woman I
am and l owe it all to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
These wonderful pills are useful in q
wide range of diseases such as anamia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion Of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every orgcn Is
stimulated to do its work.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, so cents per box, six boxes for

every community to %reinvest the
money it produces in tho community
which produces it.
The chance of being swindled Is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tised at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description of the adver-
tisement. The few cents which is
saved or the price of an article SO
bought is usually sacrificed in the
quality of the article. Buying from the
mail order house Is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
a home merchant without examining
the goods, but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods of.
fered for sale at home. If the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for a little while. he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
of better quality and as good bargains
as the mail order goods, taking quail.
ity into consideration. If this pre-.
sumption i~sstrue, the buyer of mail or,
der goods is a distinct loser, as he has
secured inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives, as
well as himself, of the use of the
money. F. r. SINGLETON.
