WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.


An Iowa farmer contributes TO the
Des Molnes Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed in getting
the business Of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
III the mail order houses got 1000
out OF this county each month that be.
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for Il. OF course
we get soaked once I'm awhile and IL
we do we can try some other house.
Most OF the home merchants who ad.
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want TO
know-the price. or course we can go
TO the store and ask the price Of this
article, and that, but you know how
II is-one doesn't know so well exact
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
In a store as when he is at home. And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read It when we haven't anything else
TO do and every member of the family
who reads their stun usually finds
something that he or some other men,
Der Of the family wants and many or.
ders are made up and sen out just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer.
chant falls down. II he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next tins
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that We didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
The home merchant can a v the
expense of getting up a catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and II the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk
in the home papers, and put Il in so
that we know he means business. The
home merchant likely, nine times out
OF ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses. and ! believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are w to know IL he doesn't
tell us about II.
"A Merchant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods so we'll that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
1T is none of my business how the
home merchant runs his business. but
| don't like TO see these roasts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get a little stun shipped in once
in awhile and never anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides Of a question. and ! have given
you mine. II II is worth anything to

What Health Means.

Health means happiness, happiness
meahs beauty, or at least the re-
verse state of affairs is true.
Poor health means fretfulness and
discomfort, merging into absolute I'M
happiness and this in turn robs the
face of all its beauty.
The complexion gets salIow. the
eyes get dull, the mouth gets lines
around 1t, dragged and tired, and the
hair becomes dulled and brittle and
harsh.
The most beautiful woman cannot
hope TO Keep her beauty Of she is in
and unhappy, and the moderately
good looking woman becomes absu.
lutely plain.
The quality and quantity OF blood Is
the main factor in health and beauty.
First then watch health, take notice
of the general tone, s~upposlng. or
course, there Is no actual disease TO
combat.

BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger In the Mall-O rider
System Of Business.

II is only lately that bankers OF the
west have come to a realization that
the mailorder system of business has
been a serious injury to them, killing

out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro.
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the buying-g oods.away.from.home evil
as anything OF particular concern to
them When Farmer Smith would
buy a draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago. the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead. while the facts re-
manned that 10 he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 of the farmer for the banker
might make a dollar or two OF profit.
It was only when the catalogue
houses started in TO solicit deposits OF
the people of country towns and farm.
ing communities that the bankers
took a tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea Of their position In
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families.
and set a bad example before the peo.
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way OF staples

suggestions TO their patrons as to
what they should do with their money.

strates the possibilities of this cloth. 4
will be noted that the trimmings are
arranged In the simplest manner, and
the method OF putting them ON will be
here explained IN due course.
We will proceed now with the cut
ting out: The skirt pattern consists
of one-half of the top of the under
skirt. one-half of the lounce, and half
of the overskirt.
This last-named Is cut practically on
the same principle as the underskirt,
only with the front edge to the sell
wedge and the bias seam at the back,
whereas the uuderskirt has the front
and back seams both slightly on the
bias, tho latter more so than tile for
mer. but neither so much SO as is the
central back seam of the oycrskirt.
The full ilounce in it's turn demands
that the overskirt shall be heavily
gured so as to get plenty of width at
the hem and thus fan easily in with
the folds of the louncc.
For the back seam Of skirt place a
length of Prussian binding along the
scam when lacking the two parts to-
gethcr. machine one edge of this in,
when doing the seam; afterwards fell
the other cage down over the raw
edges of the seam, and thus ucaten
and strengthen it all at the same
time. The binding should match the
color OF the wolfe. and If It is impos-
sible TO get this, a length of s%arcenet
or narrow glace ribbon will be nearly
as ~serviceable and possibly easier to
obtain.
The back seam Of the overskirt
should be what is called a French
seam-that 10, II should first be
stitched with the raw edges facing the
right side OF the material, then this
should be folded face TO face and an
other seam tackled. of a depth suf-
fcient to enclose the narrow turns of
