Those who make habit of answer

mail order papers are sure to bite at
the "bait" held out to them sooner or

Using matter circulated. After some
dollars worth of postage stamps is
wasted in writing to the names sup
piled, the person anxious for job
concludes that he Is out Of pocket.
A common form of fraud is the adj
vertising for men to become detec-
tives. There are few of these rank
humbugs doing business, and in a way
so shrewdly devised that the authori-
ties cannot deny them the use of the

operation. In these cases a fee is
charged for commission and badge
and instructions. The bit of nickeled
brass sent out as badge is familiar
in nearly every police court as
source of trouble for green young men
who think that it's possession gives
them official authority.
Business men should be on the look
out for new game which has been
played in number of parts of the
country of late. A stranger enters a
store, buys small bill of goods, not
exceeding ten or fifteen dollars, says
that he will call for them later, and
gives a check for $50 or more on a
bank, receiving no change In return.
He remains away for a few days, then
calls for the goods. He is told that
the check is no good After roundly
"cussing" the bank he pays for the
goods, takes the check and goes. In a
few days more the check comes to the
merchant, paid at the bank, because it
had the merchants endorsement on it.
This was the end to be obtained. Be
on the lookout for this game

MUST suILD ue BUSINESS.
Country Merchant Can Use the Local
Press TO Advantage.

The sentiment exhibited in the nu-
merous articles now printed In coun-
try newspapers for the purpose Of in
ducing people to trade at home in
stead of sending their money to mail
order houses Is good and noble, but
we doubt If 1t appeals to the multitude
who patronize these mail order
houses.
The best way in which the mer-
chants In the towns and smaller cities
can fight the mail order houses is to
advertise. They know most OF their
patrons personally, can show them the
goods before they buy them, have
many other advantages over the mail
order houses and in almost every in
stance can sell just as cheap, If not
cheaper.
II the home merchant lacks fore
sight and Is too penurious to proper
ly advertise mis- goods, why should the
publisher exert himself to keep the
trade at home for him? If solicita-
tons on the part of the publisher fail
to educate the merchant to the fact
that he must advertise II he wants to
keep up with the procession, then
nothing is left to the merchant but
to learn in the school of experience.
and IL the teachings of that renowned
school are of no effect on him, then
there is no place for him and eventu-
ally his place in the commercial
world will be taken up by some
more enterprising competitor Buck
eye Informer.

Sales to Mail Order Houses.

Proprietors who sell mail order
houses directly should, by every law
full means, be induced to discontinue
marketing their goods through these
avenues. If desired results can be &C
complished in no other way, the pro-
prietors should be given the alterna-
tive of choosing between the retail
druggists, the logical distributors of
their goods, and the demoralizers
named. 1t is the opinion of your CON-
mittee that druggists would receive
far better treatment from all the pro-
prietors if aggressive efforts were
made by each druggist individually
to discourage the sale of products that
are overpriced, those that are not
protected in any way against price de-
moralization, and those that are sup
piled by proprietors to mail order
houses with full knowledge that they
are to be sold to the consumer at
Wholesale prices.
AS for the denials that are promptly
forthcoming whenever this subject is
preached to the proprietors that they
are supplying mail order houses, the
free use of electrotypes illustrating
certain lines of goods) as are con-
stantly appearing In the catalogues of
these houses, electrotypes that are
identical with those the proprietors
themselves are constantly using, GER
tainly demands explanation.-Detroit

Bake splces Sold 10 Publlc.

1t has been found that more than
80 per cent. of the groceries sold by
travelling agents who sell direct to
consumers are of the adulterated
classes. Examinations made OF cof-
fees sold by such concerns proved
that there was so per cent. adultera-
ton. The cheapest kind of Santos
is used for a base, and with this
ground cocoanut shells, burnt corn
and chicory are combined. Such con-
coctions are dangerous, and rank
imposition upon the people. The
spices that are sold by many OF the
alleged pure food concerns that have
agents working among the people in
small towns are dangerous to health.
Many classes consist of ground
bark, nut shells and other materials

that are coal tar products. It is I'M

Goods MADE IN swEArsAops.
Workers IN Large Cities Compelled to
Labor for Little Compensation.

Y
p The average resident of the small
town or Of the farming district has
little conception OF conditions which
prevail among the working classes of
the large cities. Now and then some
article may appear in q magazine or
newspaper relating to the "sweatshop''
system, but few understand what this
) means. II is simply this: In the gar
Matchmaking line and kindred indus
tries different articles of goods are
Z made by contract for so-called manu-
facturers. The sweatshops are found
In the closely crowded tenement dis
tricts, and generally are small rooms
into which the workers are crowded.
The different garments are cut out at
another place, and are sent to be sewn
/ together to the "sweatshops" which
serve as living place as well as a
! work shop. Each worker receives so
much per dozen for garments sewed,
and the price is barely sufficient to
pay living expenses A woman will
work all day sewing shirts together,
and will receive from 40 to SO cents
for. her labor. Those who work on
, shirts confine themselves to this par
ticular line; the ones who sew trous-
ers, the same, and the coatmakers and
vestmakers are all confined to their
particular classes Of work. What
they receive is so scaled down as to
allow the poorest kind of an existence
These shops are controlled by men
who dispose Of their goods to houses
which compete with the regular deal
ers throughout the country. Keep
the price Of production at the lowest"
Is the motto of these manufacturers,
and the result is worn out and miser-
able women and children whose unfor-
tunate circumstances compel them to
thus labor in order to buy food.
Benevolent associations and socie-
ties for the prevention of crime have
repeatedly tried to break up these
horrible places, but they manage to
exist in every city of any size, par
ticularly in eastern cities. People
who live in the country can assist in
preventing the operations of these
shops by not patronizing any con-
Germs which make extraordinary Of
fers in the line Of clothing for men
and women in catalogues and circu- |
lars sent through the mails. 1t is
such concerns that support the sweat |
shop system. No reputable clothing |
dealer handles sweatshop goods. SO |
therefore the entire output Of the fac
tories go to the concerns that do a |
miscellaneous class of business by |
mail throughout the country. 1t is |
only the very cheapest kinds of cloth |
ing that come from the sweatshops. |
The better classes are manufactured |
in large and roomy factories, where |
there is plenty of fresh air and light, |
and where men and women are paid !
good wages, and these are the classes |
of goods sold by the regular trade.
There is danger in wearing clothing !
made In the sweatshops, as owing to !
the closely crowded rooms and gener-
al squalid conditions, germs of dis !
ease are plentiful, and 1t has been |
known that smallpox, measles, scarlet |
fever and other infectious diseases !
have been carried and spread through
out the country by clothing. from
these infected places.

Lava Put to Good Use.

Residents of the district round We
suvius have put to practical use the
lava which has flowed from the vol
cano in the past and recent eruptions.
Naples and its vicinity appear to be
a world of lava. The streets are paved
with it. There are lava staircases and
statues, drinking troughs bric-a-brac
and even jewelry. The guides make
a profit out of it by pressing coins or
other objects on partially cooled frag-
ments and selling these to visitors.
On the ashy sides Of the mountain
there is enough lava to build a large
city In appearance it resembles a
shoreless frozen sea of dull black that
shimmers strangely purple in some
lights.
