An Art Sale.


Two young artists were talking the
other day of the state Of the market
for their wares and the temptations
which beset them to forsake their
high ideals and hopes for the sake
of making money. Both came to the
conclusion that the prosperous year
Just closed had done very little in the
way of encouraging art.
81 haven't painted a pot-boiler this
ear" said one. Into everything
I've done I've put my best efforts and
my most conscientious work, and
haven't sold a thing"
The other considered for a while
and then said:
well it's pretty bad, but it might
be worse. You know Jones never
paints anything but his best, and
hear he made a good sale during the
holidays"
Just then Jones happened to come
in.
Cones" said the first speaker, did
you sell anything during the holi-
cays?"
Jones's hesitation was manifest.
YES" he said at last, Il sold my
overcoat and my crush hat."-Phil'

Auto VS.. Horse.

1t was prophesied some years ago
that the advent of the automobile
would soon put the horse out of bust
ness. Autos have been in successful
use for a number Of years and still
their uses are multiplying and at
the same time statisticians tell us
that there are more horses and bet
ter horses raised every year. The
self-propelled road wagons and farm
machines. may in time diminish the
number of horses and even misplace
some classes of them in some of their
tasks, but in that event we shall have
a far better strain of horsefiesh, for
coach, draft and speeding purposes.

THE WHOLE FAMILY
Mother Finds a Food For Grown-Ups
and Children as Well.

Food that can be eaten with relish
and benefit by the children as well as
the older members of the family,
makes a pleasant household commod-
ity.
Such a food is Grape-Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from
bad habits of eating, have become
d~yspeptics.
A Phila. lady, after being benefited
herself, persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
about eight years ago I had a Sc
we're attack Of congestion of stomach
and bowels. From that time on / had
to be very careful about eating, as
nearly every kind of food then known
to me seemed to cause pain.
-Four years ago / commenced to
use Grape-Nuts. / grew stronger and
better, and from that time | seldom
have been without it; have gained in
health and strength and am now
heavier than | ever was.
"My husband was also in a bad
condition - his stomach became so
weak that he could eat hardly any
thing with comfort. I got him to try
Grape-Nuts and he soon found his
stomach trouble had disappeared.
my girl and boy, 8 and 8 years
old, co not want anything else for
breakfast but Grape-Nuts and more
healthy children cannot be found"

Hams and Hams.

1t is a pleasure to converse with
d mar who knows good food-or is a
crank on the subject. "You ask, Why
not trim off the fat?' Well, it is cost
ing you 20 cents a pound. And when
the fat is trimmed off what have you
left? I know a man in the restaurant
business in busy New York who sells
several thousand pounds of fat every
week at 2 cents a pound. It costs
him on the average of 10 cents. Why
doesn't he make soap of it? Anybody
can make soap. You can make ten
pounds of the finest for 10 cents; 1t
costs you 60 cents at wholesale. But

New Railway in Chile.

According to Daily Consular and
Trade Reports, an appropriation Of
10000 peycs, or $4,000 United States
gold. has been made by Chile for a
survey of a new railroad from La
gunas. about SO miles southeast OF
Iauioue, to a point on the Altofagasra
Railway, and the Chilean government
has entered into an agreement with
Eduardo Barriga to do the work. This
is a connecting link in what is known
in Chile as the longitudinal railway
system, a projected road from the e
treme north to the extreme south OF
the country, parallel with the Pacific
coast. This link will be nearly 10O
miles long and will complete what
will be about 800 miles long OF road,
which may in time become a part OF
tha pan-American Railway.

ly developed is attested by the dread
full havoc and loss Of life occasioned
by fire in the United States within
the twelve months covered by a sum-
ming up of these losses for 1906.
This record shows that nearly seven
thousand lives were lost and more
than $500, 000, 900 worth of property
was destroyed by fire during that per-
Iod. In no other country in the
world Is the fire loss, in bulk Or pro
rata, anywhere near our own. Last
year, owing to the devastating fire
that followed the earthquake in San
Francisco, this loss was in great ex
cess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $780,

Cash vs.. Credit.

A cash transaction is more desirable
than credit one. If customers would
only pay the small town merchant
cash for all things purchased, the
same as the department stores aud
mail order houses in the large cities
require, there would be no reason why
goods could not be sold at lower
prices. 1t is the constantly turning
over of the money invested in busi-
ness that makes the profit for the
merchant. This is one of the reasons
of the success of the bly, city concerns.
Few farmers when they sell their
crops are willing to wait six months
for their pay. Why then should the
small merchant i'll the town be asked
to do so. If he has the ready cash to
discount his bills, he will be enabled
to sell his goods at u lower margin of
profit. He cannot have the ready
money to do so If he does a credit
business.
