car say that the clothing we buy today
is of any better quality than they were
a few years ago. henmade by individ'
ual factories? Who can say that any
thing we buy, which is 10Y controlled
by a trust, is better than it was years
ago, when it was produced by individual
effort?
If none ofthese trusts have kept faith
and redeemed their promises to give us
better goods at less prices, then how, in
the name of truth and honesty, can we
expect a trust of retail interests to give
us better goods at less prices than we can
buy from our home merchants p?
The principles of business are as solid
and firm as the rocks of Gibraltar, and
in compliance with none of these princi-
piles can a mail order or catalogue house
sell goods at less price than can our home
merchants. They don't do it and cannot
do it.
OF course the retail trusts have spent
thousands of dollars in advertising mat
ter for the purpose of discrediting our
home merchants. They always make
prominent in their advertising matter
that our home merchants are charging
too much.
But we venture the assertion that in
every instance if the consumer will pre-
sent a list of what he wants to his home
merchants, quality considered, and al
lowing for freight or express, they will
furnish the goods as cheap as will a cat
alogue house. All any reasonable person
can ask is that the reader give this sub
ject careful consideration from every
standpoint, and if people will follow this
there is no danger of any trust monopliz-
ing any branch of business.

Cooking Hints by Experts.

Comparatively few housewives realize
how great is the virtue of corn starch as
a help in cooking and baking. Alice Cary
Waterman and Janet NJ. Hill, the famous
culinary experts, have made a special
study of this phase of cookery, with re.
suits that are not only interesting but
surprising.
AS is well known, quality in corr starch
is an all-important consideration, and the
two cooks found Kingsford's Oswego
Corn Starch to be the best for every pur.
pose. For example, the use of this corn
starch in bread results in a fine grain and
delicious flavor, with a crust unusually
tender. The experts found also that il
greatly improves the consistency of soups,
gravies and sauces, gives jellies a pleas
ing firmness for moulding, makes pas
tries more delicate, and so on through
many helpful uses.
With a view to giving housewives
everywhere the full benefit of this inves-
tigation, the National Starch Company,
successors to the old firm of T. Kingsford
81 Son, Oswego, n. Y, have embodied
the results in book form, which they are
now distributing gratuitously among APP
plioants.
This book is unique in every respect,
containing not only a great many origi-
nal receipts but a carefully arranged list
of helpful cooking hints and suggestions.
There is little wonder that the demand
for the book is enormous, for every
woman interested in good cooking wants
a copy.

Down on Pine street in Burlington last
Friday, as excavations were being made
in the rear of the Armory building,
the workmen came across a remarkable
find. Half a dozen ancient jugs of cider.
no less, were discovered only a few feet
below the surface. AS the Queen City
is now on the dry dock, this, no doubt,
was a welcome find. But what seems
passing strange, is the fact that those
jugs survived the long period of enforced
abstinence during the prohibition epoch.
Perhaps the early fathers foresaw with
prophetic vision a time when Burlington
would vote "dry" after being somewhat
drenched, and knew that at least a
chosen few would appreciate a half
dozen or so of cold jugs on a warm sum-
mer like this.

WHAT RUINS CHICAGO GIRLS.

"Cf all the ten or twelve thousand un-

companion for good fellowship's sake.
That first glass is the beginning of the
end, and here you see what the end is.

THE SUNDAY LAW IN BRANDON.

For some weeks past various State

accounts of the moral crusade of the
Rev. Mr.. Cook, the Methodist pastor at
Brandon, in his efforts to enforce the
state law in his town regarding tine OBJ

local paper, dissents from Mr.. Cooks
program, and wind up a long editorial
with the statement that "there is not
now, hor has there been in twenty
years at least, violations of the Sunday
laws in Brandon of sufficient magnitude
to cause a noise outside the borders of
the town." What of that? There are
frequently violations of the law in every
town which are not heard of outside its
borders, but which, nevertheless should
be suppressed by prosecution. This
statement of fact has no especial refer.

The Building of a Trust.

Wv builbS tluoto'
There is only one answer that could
possible be made to this interrogation
the people are the only power in a posi-
ton to build a trust.
Man is naturally grasping and that he
has endeavored to build around him a
trust, i~mpregnable by outside influences
is nothing but what should nave been
expected from him. But all his efforts
would come to naught, and what would
come of his work were it not that people
%patronize him and to that extent the
people build trusts. If every person
would ~patronize his neighbor-the man
nearest to him-who was in a position
to serve his wants-the building of a
trust would be impossible, unless it might
be in some exclusive line similar to that
of the Standard Oil Company, which
controls a product not found in every
field or hamlet.
The headquarters of trusts are always
.ound in large cities, and it is to them
that the patronage and the wealth of the
county drifts. Every dollar sent by a
consumer to a large city is aiding in
building up an organization, a combina-
ton whose sole object is the building up
of their own interests to the deterioration
of the man located nearest to the sender.
For many years, in fact, since the found
alton of the world, it seemed that the
selling of supplies to the al
ways should remain in the hands of the
local merchants. But during the last
few years an organized effort has been
made OIL the part of certain interests
to locate in large cities, to centralize and
%monOpolize the selling of goods at retail.
People have been so energetic in their
plans to save a few pennies, or at least in
their thought to a. a few pennies, that
they have patronized these combinations
until they have builded up to the mon
strous magnitude of millions. The
building OF these retail trusts nave been
done by the people, and by them, too,
without the least thought of building up
a combination that would finally mean
their hurt. 1t has only been in the last
few months that people have really be-
come aroused to this condition and they
have begun to see the trend of the under
taking. They have begun to recognize
the danger in the centralizing of theIretail
business. With this development of re
tail trusts carried a little further the re-
suit will be that our home merchants
would discontinue business and then the
market for farm produce would be
wholly in the hands of trusts. Then the
condition of the and the far
mer would indeed,be deplorable for he
would then, in every particular, be I'M
der the control of soulless combinations
of capital.
While this building has already gone
far, it is not yet too late to retrace our
steps and turn all of our trade toward
our local merchants. 1t has always been
the cry of the trusts that they furnish
better goods at less prices hal was be-
ing done by local industries. But that
statement is not credited by the person
who has given thought to the subject.
Who can say that the self binder, sold
today by the trusts, is made of better
material than the self binder turned out
a few years ago, when they were manu-
featured by individual concerns? Who
