PRIZE AND PREMIUM FAKES.
Bait Held Out to Catch the Trade Of
the Unsophlsticated.

Prize and premium Offering are
methods that are resorted to by some
concerns that seek to do business
through the mails with people resid-
ing in agricultural districts. The wise
people will never be caught on this
game. All classes and kinds of goods
have a real value, and are worth so
much in the markets of the world.
The farmer who has 1000 bushels of
wheat to sell knows that his goods
have fixed value dependent upon the
market prices. 1t would be foolish for
him TO offer to the buyer as an in
rel of cider or a slab of bacon in order
to induce him to buy. Yet these very
farmers will bite at proposition
which is identically the same in prin-
ciple. The manufacturer of soap Of
fers ten dollars worth of soap and to
the buyers give a piece of furniture OF
the value of ten dollars. Is this a fair
business deal? Can the manufacturer
afford to do it IL his goods are stand
ard? He may say that by selling di-
rect ito the consumer. and cutting
out middlemen's profits" he can afford
to do so. But this is lie, flimsy
excuse, and is not in accordance with
sound business principles. There
must be profit for the manufacturer
or he will fail. He does make profit.
He even makes a larger profit than
the average dealer in goods of his
kind. In the first place he sells the
cheapest kind of article, even though
1t may look nice and be highly per-
fumed. In the second place he gives
light weight and gets the highest
price. The value of the premium
given is always misrepresented, ex-
aggerated, and that which is supposed
to be worth ten dollars is not
worth four dollars, and for the
latter amount can be purchased
from any respectable dealer. The
premium is never free. 1t must
be paid for and 1t is the one who
receives 1t that generally pays for it.
Mrs. Jones would wonder If Grocer
Brown would ask that she give half
pound of feathers with every dozen
eggs he buys of her. Mrs. Jones has
too much common sense to think that
she can afford to give away pound
of butter with each dozen eggs. She
knows she would be loser. But if she
could induce the grocer to pay her
40 cents a dozen for her eggs when
the market price is only 20 cents, she
she might see how it would be profit
able to her to throw in as a premium
pound of over-ripe butter. Still
Mrs. Jones will join soap clubs, coffee
clubs, and fakes in the premium line
OF every kind, just because she does
not stop to do little sound thinking.

TO KEEP SUPPLY OF STOCKS.
No Problem at All for Those Skillfuf
with the Needle.

With the tailored waists and skirts
which now are fashionable comes a
demand for all kinds of stocks. Their
attractiveness depends so much on
their freshness that generous sup
ply is needed. If one is handy with
the needle great many of these
pretty trifles may be made for little
expense.
One chic stock is made of linen.
The collar is made of double material
and there are two shaped pieces of
single linen embroidered. TSese'
pieces are the width of the collar in
back and taper to the front, where
they are an inch wide. They lap in
the front and button. One piece is set
in the end of the collar, between the
two pieces of linen. The other piece
is finished neatly and is fastened
to the top and bottom Of the other
end of the collar. This leaves long
opening like large buttonhole. The
first end passes through this. The
tab end is made of two shaped strips
of linen, single pieces, and is joined
by embroidery. This tab end is sep
arate and slips between the collar and
the buttoned ends.
Any simple design may be embroid-
cred on the ends of the tab on one
side, and the other end on the oppo-
site side, so that when Tapped over
the embroidery on both ends of the tab
will be right side out.
Lovely stocks can be made from
pieces of a mans worn-out white vest.

Claims He Was offered Bio Bribe.

Columbus, o., Jan. 25-An investi-
cation of the state board of agricult-
ure which may develop into big
scandal is being vigorously prosecut-
ed. The affair has been turned over
to Attorney General Ellis, who talks

charges that he was offered a bribe
of $4,000 a year to switch samples of
fertilizer submitted to the board for
an analysis by experts.

THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
What the State Lawmakers in Both
Branches Are Doing.

Columbus, o., Jan. 24.-The senate
committee on temperance at a meet
ing Thursday decided not to have any
more public hearings on the Rose
county option bill. This decision Is
the result of the conduct of some of
the persons who attended the hearing
in the senate chamber Wednesday
night, which broke up in confusion be-
cause of partisans crying down speak
ers on the opposite side.
More actual progress toward law
making was accomplished Thursday
than any day since the session
opened. Nine bills were passed. in the
house and three in the senate. One
bill was defeated in the house. The
measure providing for the establish
ment of legislative reference depart
ment in connection with the state IL
brary was voted down.
Among the bills passed by the house
were several affecting rural schools.
The bill providing for the. centraliza-
tion of schools in townships was
amended so as to enable any district
with IL pupils to continue separate
school If it desires.
The senate passed bill which pro-
hibits any stenographer disclosing or
selling any notes taken by him with
out the consent of his employer, or
in pursuance to an order of court. The
penalty for violation of the proposed
law is fine of $40 to 500, or not
more than six months imprisonment,
or both. The bill goes to the house.
An important bill passed by the
senate is that extending the powers
of the state board of charities in re.

other benevolent institutions. One OF
the most important changes made is
in regard to the admission of persons
to state hospitals. The bill provides
that no blood relative shall sign the
application for commitment of any
person; nor shall a physician con
nected with any state hospital sign
such an application. The signatures
of two physicians of at least five
years practice are required by the
bill.

Columbus, O., Jan. 2S.-An early in
vestigation of the charges made by
Senator Neck, of Dayton, that there
has been trafficking in state school
certificates and that the school affairs
of Ohio are controlled by ring is
assured by the adoption in the house
Monday of the joint resolution by
Senator West providing for the ap-
pointment of a joint committee with
full power to probe the affairs of the
state school commissioners office and
the state board of school examiners.
The committee is to consist of six
members, three from the house and
three from the senate, to be appointed
by the presiding officers of the re-
spective bodies.
Neither President Williams, of the
senate, nor Speaker Eagleson, of the
house, have given the appointments
consideration, but they will probably
be announced within the next few
days. Both Senator Meek and the Off
cials named in his charges have been
preparing for the investigation and it
is expected that the investigation will
begin as soon as the committee has
organized and secured counsel.
Aside from the adoption of the West
TeSOlullOU there was HIIl6 Ol lllpOT-
tance in either branch other than the
Introduction of bills, of which there
were AZ in the house. Mr.. Shuler,
of Dayton, introduced the bill amend
ing the law relating to municipal
plants so as to permit municipalities
to sell artificial gas or electricity to
private consumers.
The omission of this provision from
the original law only recently came
to public attention, although the fact
was brought out in court through a
suit instituted in 1905. The house
committee on cities regards this omis-
sion from the law as a serious defect
in the municipal code and the Shuler
bill will be urged in the house as an
emergency measure.
The IA insurance reform bills which
have been re-drafted by joint COM
mittee appointed at the previous ses-
sion were introduced in the house.
The bills follow in the main the prin-
ciples laid down in the New York in.
surance code, which was drafted to
remedy the defects in the laws re-
vealed by the insurance investigation
in New York.

B1scHoFF COLD CUP.

This old-fashioned, diplomatic cold
cup changes color with geographical
distinction. In Berlin it is red or rosy
pink At the British embassy at Paris
it is lemon colored of white wine lem
ons and oranges, the latter flavor pre-
dominating.
The Germans allow one Seville
orange. four ounces of sugar and a
bottle of old red wine as proportion.
The oranges must be quite ripe. Each
is speared by wooden skewer and
roasted in front of the fire, constantly
turned till partly baked. Then they
are taken from the stick. an incision
is made in each and they are put in
a porcelain or clay vessel with tight
cover. They are strewed with the SUI
gar, the wine is poured over them;
they are then covered and allowed to
digest twenty-four hours at least,
stirring occasionally. Then the liquor
is strained, bottled and sealed if not
used at once.

TO CURE BLUsHING.

"a great many men blush" said a
physician, some so painfully that
they come to me to be cured.
THE cure l recommend is an odd
one. 1t is the abandonment of over
heavy clothing, especially of wooden
socks. Amazing it is how many male
blushers have a prediction for thick
socks of wool.
but some blushers wear light
enough clothes. To them / can only
recommend a nerve treatment. I ad-
wise them to make speeches at ban
quets, to be witnesses in murder trials.
to go to teas and dances, to develop,
in short, the nerve DIS a wrestler de-
velops his muscle.
'Blushing is a difficult disorder to
cure. AS a rule, 1t passes away of
itself when the victim reaches his
thirty-fifth year.''-The New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
