THERE MUST BE MERIT.
Drawing the Line In the Matter Of
Patronage Of Home institutions.

While II is the duty OF every home
loving and patriotic citizen to encour.
g and support home enterprise, It
should be part of the principle that the
home enterprises should be such as TO
merit support. The matter OF service
and OF competition are important. II
must be a public spirited citizen, in.
deed, who will willingly pay home mer.
chants exorbitant prices for what is
needed, when the same goods can be
purchased in some nearby town at
lower prices. The local bank should
be patronized, II well conducted, and
those in charge OF it men OF integrity
and enterprise. But ofttimes there
are illustrations of local industries be-
Ing conducted in such unbusinesslike
ways as to not win the confidence OF
the people in the community. Under
-Ich circumstances little censure can
be given those who will seek foreign
institution when they have money to
deposit.
While 1t may be true that the small
err towns and cities do not afford un-
p%rincipled schcmers the chance to con-
duct business, Illustrations sufficient,
nov and then, present themsel YES to
the people to make them cautious and
perhaps prejudice them against pat.

Too often It Is found that insurance
companies. investment concerns, banks
and mercantile establishments put

lions and thus should be p~atronized,
while in fact their methods OF conduct
are such as to not win the confidence
OF the people. Merit is an important
factor in the home trade matter. and

FOR M~AIL.oRpER TRADE
Factories Where Adulterated and Mis-.
branded Goods are Put Up.

A visit made a short time ago by
the health officers OF Chicago to a fac
tory where canned goods were pre-
pared for the mail-order trade. dis
closed the fact that 1t was a rank
artificial food factory. Tomato cat
sups were made from pumpkin pulp;
fine strawberry and raspberry jam was
made from glucose, starch and the
only evidence OF fruits were a lot OF
dried apple peelings and cores. which
were used as a base. The seed sup.
posed to the berry seeds, was grass
seed; the natural coloring was coal tar
dyes, and Ia the whole thing was a
fraud factory from start to finish.
Several thousand cans OF fruit were
found. These were old, several years
perhaps, and the labels dirty showing
their age. From these the labels
were removed and new ones put on.
These goods we're dead stock on the
manufacturers hands, until bought for
a mere song by the mail-order con.
Germ.

HELPING ALONG THE TRUSTS.
Sending Money Away from Rural Dis
triets Assist In Making Them.

II appears as II the trusts are in the
country to stay. The legislative &C.
ton OF the government seems to
merely mean a little more regulation.
Trusts generally have their starting
point in Wall street. It is to Wall
street that the money earned by them
goes. Each trust industry means so
much more for the Golfers Of the null
ti~'millionaires. II is a sorry fact that
the people Of the country have been
for years bamboozled by trust mana
gers, and unknowingly have been
compelled to donate toward their sup
port. That the great mail-order con.
Germs in Chicago have been backed
uD by Wall street capital has Just be
come evident. Within the past few
months Wall street hnanciers have
decided to build up even greater In
the mail-order Business, and one cor
Germ has had It's capital Increased to
$4,000 900. II has been toward such
a monster enterprise the people OF the

STRANGE ANTIQUITY OF EGYPT.

Through Centuries.

Many tourists who have crossed
the Mediterranean to Alexandria and
have made the three hour journey
thence by express to Cairo, establish
themselves in II of the fashionable
hotels. do a little shopping in the ma.
tive quarter, see a mosque or two. a
native wedding, ride a camel the quar-.
ter mile distance from the Mena house
TO the sphinx. and perhaps go as far
as to visit Saqqara-a days excursion
from Cairo-then return homeward
f~ancying and also declaring that they
have seen Egypt.
So they have, in a sense; but Cairo
is no more representative of Egypt as
a country than New York is of the en-.
tire United States.
To see upper Egypt, with it's fell
laheen life, its mud cities. and its
