True Principle in Advertising.

According to the most careful esti- mates, the volume of business done by the mail order houses in the United States amounts to more than one bill lion of dollars annually. When 1t is considered that 20 years ago there were no mail order systems of busi- ness as now known, and that since then the plan has been developed, 1t becomes evident to the thinker that there is magic in advertising, for 1t is by advertising alone that the mail order business has been built up. It would perhaps be fatal for the small merchant in the agricultural cities and towns to follow the plans, the distort- ed and exaggerated advertising meth. ods of the department stores and the mail order houses. Yet there is a prin- ciple in advertising that ever holds good. This principle is as sound for the little merchant, the dealer in any kind of wares, as it is for the biggest concern on earth. In fact, the great business houses generally had a small beginning, and by publicity pushed up to the front, writes D. M. Carr.
 Did people of agricultural sections fully realize how the millions taken to the large cities by the mail order system causes them direct injury it would not be long before these con. cerns would be out of business.

ENDED THE BIBLE READING,
Beginner Resented Wife's Enjoyment
 of His Mistake.

A Kansas City man, who had fol- lowed stock quotations, football scores and race form sheets more closely than he had religious and literary mat ters, recently was persuaded by his wife to read aloud each evening from the Old Testament to improve the knowledge of both on Biblical matters The man became interested in the story of the scriptures and read aloud several evenings with great gusto and pleasure. One night as he was swing ing along he read: And they horse whipped the beasts"
 Hold on!" exclaimed his wife. What was that?"
 "They horsewhipped the beasts" he repeated, and continued reading. His wife got up from her sewing, crossed the room, looked over his shoulder and read:
 They worshiped the beasts
 There" she said, 'I knew the word horsewhipped was not in the Bible. He! He!"
 The man closed the Bible with a snap, clasped the snap, and that con- cluded the readings for all time.

A WEALTH-SAPPING SYSTEM,
New Public Utilities Managed In
 Way That Retards Progress.

It should be borne in mind that the investment of outside capital, the ownership of public and semi-public utilities by others than residents of community, is a serious thing for the people residing in the place. In west ern cities there are hundreds of illus trations of the working out of this plan of securing public utilities. There is need of a water-works. Outsiders come into the field with a proposition. The city or town council is approached and the final result is that franchise covering 25 to 50 years is granted. The works are built. People are then compelled to pay highest rates to meet interest on bonds and watered stocks. The company perhaps pays taxes less approximately than the residents of the town are compelled to pay, and the only money left in the community that is earned by the operation of the plant are the taxes paid, the wages of the few laborers employed, and the salaries that few straw officers draw. All the profits are drawn to the owners of the plant in some other city, generally Wall street, New York. Thus is built up system that draws the money earned in the community to some other place. It is the same with street-car sys- tens, electric and gas lighting plants and all other semi-public and public utilities under private ownership, and in which outside capital is chiefly in- vested.
 Should these utilities be owned by home capital, all the earnings would be retained in the community, to seek investment in other Improvements and the people would receive a general benefit. There is no argument that can prove that foreign ownership of any enterprise is good for commu- nity. Any system, it matters not whether in commercial line, financial or other branch, that takes from community the earnings of the people and uses them for the enrichment of other sections, is wrong system.
 Let business men of every town get these facts fixed indelibly in their heads @ Let commercial club enthusi- asts settle down to the fact that when through their. work any enterprise is built up that means continual drain on the resources of the place, it Is better there be no commercial club. If there are any enterprising citizens enough in place to invest in their own town in this way, the town should have no difficulty in stimulating a municipal ownership sentiment ard have the good work carried on. Com mercial clubs are all right, but it is often that they are operated all wrong than all right.

Home Patronaae Lesson.

The west is the section that pro duces the wheat that supplies the na- ton with bread. In almost every wheat-growing section there are four ing mills. Yet how often do we find that people of these districts demand flour made in a foreign place. This principle is wrong. There is a loss to the district. When wheat is shipped from one state into another or from the district where 1t is grown to some other district and then made into flour which is returned to the people for their use. there is considerable loss to the community. There is the commission to the grain dealers, the freight paid on the wheat, and the freight paid on the flour back to the place. and not least is the employment of labor in the manufacture. There is much to be gained through the pat ronage of every home institution, whether it be manufacturing enter prise or a mercantile concern. The community is made wealthier by keeping in 1t all the dollars that are the result of the labor of the people.

DOCTOR SAID USE cUTIcuRA"
In Bad Case of Eczema on Child Disease Had Reached a Fearful State-His Order Resulted
 in Complete Cure.

"When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such state that it was just large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies which I did and I was en- tirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely say that Cuticura did lot for me.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE EVIL.
System Keeps Many Agricultural
 Towns from Advancing.

There is no use in claiming that mail order houses are illegitimate concerns. They are entitled to exist as we'll as the small merchant. There can be no doubt as to the perfectness of the system that they are conducted upon. No use in denying that now and then they fail to give satisfaction to their customers. So do the mer- chants in all lines of trade. He who believes that these great concerns are not injurious to the merchants in the smaller cities and towns knows little about their operations. Then how is it that the mail order houses are in- furious to the people of the land? Great economists agree that 1t is the concentration of capital and power in the large cities wherein rests the dan gers that threaten the people. The mail order houses are great factors in this concentration. They are suckers of the blood of the country, the mediums that take from communities where it is earned the money that should be retained by the people for the development and enrichment of their own communities Herein is the mail order house evil. On these grounds all wise people will do what ever lies in their power to head off the greater growth of the system Any system should be retained within it's limits for the greater development of it's resources and general enrichment, is bad system and should be decried. It is not sufficient that the consumers retain the profits that should go to the tradesmen of the place. By this there is little development of industry. The towns and cities lose the business that is necessary to employ the people, while the wealth to an extent may be retained

Why Sioan's Eminent and Veterinary
 Remedies Are the Best to Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini- ment and Veterinary Remedies are the safest and most practical on the market to-day. In the first place, Dr. Earl s. Sloan is the son of a veterin- ary surgeon, and from his earliest in- fancy he was associated with horses. He bought and sold horses while yet very young. He practiced as a vet erinary for 20 years and has battled successfully with every disease to which that animal is subject.
 All his remedies are the result of experiments made to save life or re- lieve suffering while he was practic- ing his profession.
 Any reader, by writing to Dr. Earl s. Sloan, 615 Albany Street, Boston, Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise on the Horse," free. This book tells how to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and poultry.

HERE GOES ANOTHER ILLUSION.
"Fiddiing Bob" Declares He Has Not
 Played for Many Years.

Another cherished illusion has been shattered. Senator Taylor of Tennes- see, lovingly called throughout the union "Fiddling Bob," doesn't play the fiddle after all. He has entered a for nal denial. Pretty soon somebody will be saying that Congressman Rich mond Pearson Hobson of Merrimac fame never kissed a pretty young hero worshiper. Representative Hughes of New Jersey asked Senator Taylor about his musical accomplish ments.
 Haven't played fiddle for dozen years," said the Tennesseean. That fiddling story is all wrong. l haven't touched a bow for years"
 Maybe you play the violin, then?" ventured Hughes.
 "Oh, never even saw one of those darned things" retorted the senator.
