The Best Nervine.

To sleep out of doors for a month
is better than a trip to Europe. In
this climate one must have a roof, of
course, but any piazza that is open to
serve as a bedroom; and the gain in
happiness is unbelievable. With an
abundant supply of good air the sleep
soon grows normal, deep and un.
troubled and refreshing, so that we
open our eyes upon the world as glad
ly as a hunter or any pagan shep-
herd in the morning Of the world. We
grow anxious and flustered and har-
ried with distractions; the goblins of
worry becomes an inseparable COM
panion, and we groan in spirit that the
universe is all awry, when in truth
half a dozen deep breaths of clean air
would lend a different complexion to
life. Our anxieties are nearly all ar
tificial and are bred indoors, under
the sitting oppression of walls and
roofs and the maddening clangor of
payements, and day in the open will
often dispel them like mist.-Bliss

Why should we trade at home?
why should we consider home in any
way more than any other place unless
1t pays us financially? First. because
1t is our home. The pride we should
take in the prosperity of our home
town and our neighbors should be suf-
ticient inducement to give them the
preference. Second, because beyond
all doubt or question, it pays from a
money point.
The greatest menace to the country
merchant to-day Is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
loss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered
a great convenience and an exhibition
OF commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils. The success of the mail order
house is the result of constant, ex-
tensive and intelligent advertising. It
is not by persistent swindling as some
tell us, for no business was ever built
up in that way. The home merchant
can do no better than to adopt the
same method, the judicious use Of
printers ink.

lest immediate losers, and could do

SPINSTERS

Declares Judge.

Bowling Green, O.-Bowling Green
Is likely to be known hereafter as
"Gretna" Green. For years the custom
was in Wood county TO decline to issue
licenses to couples if the woman in the
case had any other home or had any
place where she hung up her hat more
often than in Wood county. AS a re-
suit many "elopers" have been disap-
pointed.
Probate Judge Lincoln has decided
that single women have no home other
than that place where they stay. He
holds that they have no legal residence
anywhere and that they therefore be-
come residents of Bowling Green as
soon as they set foot inside the town,
and that they are residents as long as
they remain here. Under this con-
struction of the law anybody who has
the required capital, provided they are
old enough, can secure d license in
Wood county.

they cannot consistently ask others %
trade with them when they do not
patronizO their brothers in trade. The
editors should patronize home, and
even at considerable personal sacrifice
refuse foreign advertising for lines of
goods in competition with the home
merchant. The editor deserves more
credit. than he receives. Many a we'll
to-do farmer or city man would think
himself perfectly justified in sending
away for all his groceries and cloth
ing if he thought he could save ten
dollars thereby on a years purchases,
but most editors forfeit many times
that much every year by refusing ad-
vertising from distant firms in the
same lines of business as his home
merchants; and sometimes the home
merchant even then declines to ad-
vertise.

Much of the trading away from
home is due to thoughtlessness and
ignorance of business principles.
Many persons consider only the first
cost; if they save 25 cents on ten
dollar order by buying from a mail
order house they consider that clear
gain. They should be shown that a
merchant and his family living in
their midst, keeps up a house, pays
taxes, adds to the social features, con.
tributes generously towards public en-
terprises, etc. If by buying at home
their town gives support to several
more local merchants, creating a bet

much toward checking and correcting

much toward checking and correcting
this growing evil, by liberal advertis-
ing and publishing prices, they should
not be expected to do it all. Every
newspaper should preach home trade,
every teacher should instil it into his
pupils in the school room, every min
lister should preach it from the pull
pit. The debating societies and po-
litical conventions should discuss it.
The interests of town and country
and newspaper and church, and So
ciety generally, are SO interviewer and
so identical that whatever Injuries one
will eventually injure all. When the
merchants are compelled to bring on
smaller stocks, and employ less help,
and pay cheaper rent, they are not
alone the sufferers; the whole COM
muntty feels the loss. The price of
real estate is largely dependent on it's
proximity to a good town. Rents are
dependent on the amount of business.
The merchant can move to some other
town and establish himself again more
readily than can the professional man
and many others who have built up
business through years of acQuaint-
anceship and establishment of char
acter. If the farmer, or property own
er in town, want to sell out they are
the greatest sufferers-they can't
move their property to some place
where people are booming their town
and country by patronizing home.
The remedy lies in education and
publicity. In many places that edu-
cation will come through bitter ex-
perience, but, in other communities,
where they are quicker to detect the
approaching evil, and heed more read
lily the warnings of the press and
friends of home, they may correct the
evil more readily.
Wealth and power are corrupting
influences and the mail order houses
are probably not sending out as hon
est goods as they once did. They have
learned the tricks of imitation and
substitution and how easy it is to
deceive the public. But, if the mail
order man is honest, and his methods
of advertising legitimate in every way,
his success is of no interest to us
and will never benefit our community
in the slightest degree. If crops should
fail or sickness render us short of
money we could not expect him to
trust us for a do1lar-we must always
look to the home merchant for credit
in times of adversely.
Who is TO blame? The mail order
house? Not in the least. We alone
are to blame. The near-sighted mer-

every man and woman is to blame

sented. That is why l say the rer

sented. That is why say the rem
edy lies in education.
Most mail order houses claim they
are enabled to sell cheaper than coun.
try dealers because they buy in larger
quantities and get especially low
prices. This Is often a base mis-
statement of facts; let me cite an in
stance: A stock man from eastern
Washington was visiting in Kansas
City. One morning, walking with his
nephew, who was a clerk in a lead
ing wholesale hardware house. he
asked where Bland & Co.'S store was
located. Don't think l ever heard Of
them" replied the young man. 20,
yes, I do remember the firm; they
have no store, they have an office in
(giving the name of the building),
but don't see how they can sell hard
ware as low as your home merchants,
for while we sell them goods at less
than retail price, We don't give them
as low prices as regular dealers, be-
cause they buy in such small quanti-
ties, just as they get orders" The
stockman was greatly surprised, he
supposed he had been dealing with
one of the largest firms in the city.
The mail order business has devel-
oped so slowly, and works so quietly
that few persons realize the magni-
tude it has assumed nor to what ex-
tent it is now sapping the life-blood of
many small cities and towns. Even
now we hear the excuse given for
sending away for goods, that the mer-
chants carry such poor stocks. The
wonder is that they carry any.
1t is a fact that country merchants
sell the same class of goods cheaper
than the big city merchants, and there
are good reasons for Indifference in
rents, insurance, clerk hire, etc. The
same is equally true as to the mail
order house-it may save in rent and
in several ways over the big mer-
chants, but it pays more for advertis-
ing, packing and shipping, so that,
for the same quality of goods, the
home merchant can, and generally
does, undersell the catalogue house.
The latter makes selling goods study
and his advertising is carefully word
ed and weighed. He uses few stand
ard articles for bait, by selling them
at cost, but he adds enough to the
price of other articles, with which the
public is not familiar, to make up the
loss. Perhaps the country merchant
could not duplicate the price on these
articles while he would be perfectly
willing to sell the whole bill orderLd
at the mail order house price.

The Corners Of the Home.

Few women realize the decorative
possibilities of corners. The result is
that even in pretty and artistic rooms
the corners are too often left bare,
the walls being allowed to meet in
hard straight lines and nothing to
break the monotony
In small room 1t is not advisable
to fill up or cut off these corners by
putting large pieces of furniture dag;
onally across them. for this simply
diminishes the apparent size of the
room. 1t will be found that hang.
ing furniture will fill the need admir-.
ably, for small cabinet or bookshelf
can be readily suspended, and by its
very construction serve to break the
awkwardness of the corner in very
satisfactory manner.
! OF course when it comes to hang
ing heavier pieces of furniture, the
picture molding is found inadequate,
SO screw-eyes, or ring bolts, are fas.
tened to the floor beams above.

Congressman Campbell Being Seerstiy
Groomed, 'Tis Said.

Bryan, o.-According to statements
made by his intimate friends here,
Congressman William W. Campbell, Of
Napoleon, o., is in the race for United
States senator. This announcement
will no doubt come as a surprise. The
movement, 1t is said, is fathered by
DR.. F. s. Demuth, of Cecil, who was
elected to represent Paulding county
in the state legislature last fall
Mr.. Demuth was in Bryan, and is
said to have made the trip solely to
confer with Cecil politicians regarding
the movement
When asked whether the movement
supporting Campbell for senator was
sanctioned by the congressman, De-
muth is said to have replied that
Campbell stated he was in the hands
of his friends. This movement was to
be secret as long as possible.
Campbell was defeated for re-elec-
tion by T. 4. Ansberry, democrat, last
fall.
