DISLIKE SMELL OF KEROSENE.
Cats Particularly Will Not Stay
Where Oil Is Used.

81 never knew until this winter,
said the superintendent of a dog and
cat hospital, how thoroughly most
animals detest the smell of kerosene
Several times the steam heating APP
paratus in this place went on strike
and we tried to raise the temperature
by means of an oil stove. The smell
of the oil produced a regular mutlny
among the animals. Cats are partlc-
ularly sensitive to the odOr of kero-
sene. Next door to my house is
stationery store which has been heat
ed all winter long with an oil stove.
In the beginning of the season the
proprietor owned a fine cat that
seemed well satisfied with his com
Portable quarters. No sooner how
ever, was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
home for the winter in a steam
heated fiat further down the street.
He comes back once in awhile on a
visit, but the smell of the oil pre-
vents his becoming regular inhab-
liant of the store"

Copyrighted, 1906 by Alfred c. Clarke
AS the years go by we are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question of trading at home.
During the past decade the habit OF
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
Is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom
Trade conditions rs years ago were
satisfactory. At that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were "monarchs of
ali they surveyed" SO to speak, in the
lines represented, and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
so much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants,
but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that, time. The farmers raised good
crops. generally, and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height of

THE sUNFLoWER AND oUINlNE.
Discovery Made That Plant Yields
Splendid Febrifuge.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunflow-
er yields a splendid febrifuge that can
be used as substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
of Paris with reference to the same
subject. Accordingly the sunflower
should not only by its growing exert
great fever-dispelling effect, but also
yield a product which is used advan-
tageously in all fevers.
The common sunflower is an Amer
lean plant Its original home is
stated by eminent botanists to be
Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever pa
tients sleep upon a bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover them
selves with them. This use has re-
Gently induced Russian physician to
experiment with a coloring matter
prepared from suntiOwer leaves, and 1t
is stated that he has had good results
with the coloring matter and with al
coholic extracts from the flower and
leaves. With 100 children from one
month to II years old he has, in the
majority of cases, effected as speedy
a cure as otherwise with quinine.

tanned.
If the farmer seriously desires all
these good things he must of necessi'
ty help to build them. Let him under.
stand that he is one of the main
spokes in the great wheel of COM
MERGE in his vicinity and that he can
ill-afford to send abroad to purchase
even the smallest item of merchan-
disc, though 1t may seem to him that
he Is saving few cents by doing so.
1t seems that it could be easily
pointed out to him that if there was
no town near him and he had to drive
20 or 80 miles to take his produce to
market and haul his groceries the
same distance home, he could easily
see that his land would greatly depre'
ciate in value and the disadvantages
he would encounter on every hand
would be very disastrous to his time
and he would gladly spend his money
at home to divert this calamity.
One of the most potent levers with
which to control trade in country To-
calities is the liberal use of printers
ink, coupled with intelligence in adj
vertising the wares of the merchant.
The catalogue houses employ the best
talent obtainable to write their adver-
tisements and spend. large sums of
money in this way. Besides advertis-
ing judiciously they advertise on a
large scale and consequently get the
business. The old saying that you
must fight the devil with frs" will APP
ply in this case. The home merchant
must advertise. He must do more than

Life Of Our Coal Fields.

If the rate of consumption of 1905
were maintained indefinitely, without
change, our coal would last approx
mately 1000 years, but if the con-
stantly increasing rate which has
marked the consumption during the
past 30 years be maintained, our coal
will practically be exhausted within
100 years.
II does not seem probable that the
rate of Increased consumption will be
affected materially Tor a great many
years to come. and hence the estimate
of 100 years will be. nearer the truth
than 1000 years. The real life Of our
coal fields probably win be some
where between these extremes. and 1t
seems probable that it may be about

ment of fact for the reason that the
country merchants business is oper-
ated at a very much less expense than
that of the mail order merchant.
There are thousand and one items
OF expense which the city merchant
has to meet that are entirely unknown
to the country merchant.
The time is rapidly approaching
when people who patronize mail order
houses will be looked upon as soon

zens of all commemorative and will
suffer ostracism at their hands.
Cities and towns are built by COM
bined efforts CT the residents thereof;
not by foreign capital. So too are our
churches and schoolhouses built. 1t
may be true that in many instances
eastern capital has been employed to
make improvements in the west. but
always with good round interest to
the lender of the money. No one ever
heard of a case where an eastern man
or firm contributed to western enter
prise for the fun of the thing. Nor
did you ever hear of case where any
mail order or catalogue house ever
contributed To any church building
fund. Nor yet did they ever build or
help to build any of our schcolhOuses.

their ambition, hence the contentment
that prevailed
But in after years, when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con
teal with conditions of trade, devised
piaus by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being a cheap way of
putting the merits of their goods be-
fore the people. this plan appealed to
them and il was adopted. AT first they
operated on small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making it pay, he added to his adver-
tisiug fund And so it has continued
uulu to-day millions of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
a question uppermost in the minds of
cOnutry merchants for several years
past some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented TO induce
the farmer to buy at home. In the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
