THE LAWS OF COMMERCE.
Consumption of Products in Accord
ance with Fixed Principles.

1t is useless to fight for innovations
and reforms that are not based upon
logic and sustained by sound princi-
pies. There is too much of the super
fetal in evidence in the work of many
who undertake to better commercial
conditions. The scientist knows bet
ter than to ignore the laws of gravity
in his calculations. The reformer is
foolish to set about his work with an
idea of d~isobeying any known natural
law. He is sure to meet with failure.
There are conditions in the CONNER
cial world that must be observed. Trade
is in accordance with requirements
of the people, and these requirements
cumstances. AS civilization adj
vances new demands manifest them
selves. While a hundred years ago
the people were satisfied with certain
commodities, it was because other
things known to US did not exist. The
expenses of living keep relatively the
same. We have statistics that show
the average requirements of a certain
class of people. We know to a GER
tainty how the average uns We can
not tell how much a single man will
spend for living during a year, but We
do know the average that each in a
thousand OF two thousand men will
spend, classifying them as to occu-
patton and earning capacity. There
fore it stands to reason that in every
community the amount of trade is in
accordance with the population and
the classes of people composing the
community. 1t is useless to argue that
trade can be increased by certain
methods. A certain merchant by ad-
vanced methods may increase his
trade, but as he does so some one else
loses proportionately. Reformers and
business-builders should bear these
facts in mind, and not get their wires
crossed"

HOW TO GET PINK CHEEKS.
Staying Much in the Open Air Is the
Best Recipe.

Red cheeks are at the command Of
every woman, but few understand this.
Few women are naturally pale.
We sometimes redden the cheeks by
quick methods which bring results
that are most satisfactory. We slap
the cheeks vigorously, three or four
spats with the palm Of the hand, and
the cheeks will glow for a long time.
We advise early rising whenever
possible because there is a nipping
eagerness about the early morning air
which acts like a brisk rubbing upon
the face. 1t bites and makes the
cheeks glow pink.
A good walk in a sharp air will pol
ish the cheeks into redness as though
one had rubbed them with a rough
cloth and pinched them with the fin
gers.
Food has a great deal to do with
red cheeks. Foods that are highly
spiced and stimulating will make a
woman pale. Foods that manufacture
blood will make a woman red in the
face, but she must be careful not to
partake too freely of them.
Staying out in the open air, If one
is in good health, will give a woman
red cheeks. 1t reddens the cheeks of
a child and it will redden the cheeks
of a woman Outdoor air, open-air
sleeping and walking in the wind will
make the cheeks red.

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 it is
considered that 20 years ago there
were no mail order systems Of bust
less as now known, and that since
then the plan has been developed, it
becomes evident to the thinker that
there is magic in advertising, for it is
by advertising alone that the mail
order business has been built up. 1t
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
DDS of the department stores and the
mail order houses. Yet there is a prin-
cip1e in advertising that eve 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 a direct injury,
1t would not be long before these con-
Germs would be out of business.

preference and probably for this time
of the year a yoke lining, also lining
for the sleeves, will be sensible. A
fine quality of silesia costing 35 cents
a yard is most satisfactory, although
~percaline will probably answer the
purpose quite as well and will be less
expensive. II would be a good plan, II
a pattern has to be bought, to buy
n of a plain wrapper and with the
aid of this pattern it should be possible
to copy almost any kind of a one piece

do this than to feel obliged to buy a
new pattern for every garment made

an experiment on new cloth, it VIII

right with that. 1t gives one a feeling
of satisfaction to be able to copy the
pretty clothes so often seen, either on
people, in the stores, or in magazine
or papers.
In using q plain or any other kind or
a pattern one most important point
must be borne in mind. When a sec

making the bottom touch the selvage.
This applies to the front at the under
arm, the underarm piece, and the side
pieces on their front edges. The rea
son is cores will hang towards the
front instead of towards the back, as
they should, if this is not done. If the
cores are not wide enough across the
bottom add the necessary width to the
back edges.
One pretty wrapper is shown which
could answer the purpose of a tea
gown. 1t would be lovely made of a
Japanese crepe in warm, rich reds,
with the front of plain red mousse
line or soft silk. A sort Of double ruff
file finishes the neck, put on in such a
manner as to form a little bolero. This
wrapper could be entirely made of the
crepe, excepting the ruf1es.

Pointer for the Merchant.

A thing that is more or less a con-
slant source of annoyance to the gen
eral storekeeper, as well as his patrons,
is the matter of arranging goods so
that there is the right kind of dis
play, protection for the goods from
dust and dirt, and all arranged with a
view of ready access. 1t is necessary
that there be places for hundreds of
different articles. Go into some stores,
ask for a certain thing, a clerk may
take several minutes in looking it up.
Not long ago a man called at a general
store and asked the proprietor for
some small wax candles to be used
for ornamentation purposes. The
storekeeper said that he had them.
Then commenced a search of the
premises. Corners were looked into,
boxes examined, and no candles found.
The storekeeper was positive that he
had them in stock, and finally after an
hours search found the candles stored
away in a small box under the counter.
1t required In hour of valuable (O
time to find ten cents worth of can
dies.
The up-to-date merchant will have
a place for everything and everything
in its place, well displayed and easy
of access. In the grocery store there
should be bins and drawers, shelves
and cases for all the stock. Store fur.
niture manufacturers are continually
devising improved mean of caring for
stocks and displaying the same. But.
it matters not how perfect the store
arrangement in the way of furniture
and fixtures, there must be system
employed. Sales r lost every day
by not having goods arranged rightly.
The buyer Of groceries dislikes to go
into a store where there is a barrel of
sugar uncovered affording a feast for
the flies and a stopping place for the
dust; neither does the man have his
appetite for cheese Or other like things
whetted by seeing the arrangement
suggestive Of filth.

KEEPING SKIN IN CONDITION.
Simple Precautions That viii Prevent
Winter BIemishes.

For the harsh and clustering winds
of the winter months one should guard
against the skin chapping and becom-
ing marred with the other blemishes
which often appear in the winter. II
the skin is sluggish and yellow look
ing a good tonic should be taken to
tone up the whole system.
AS a further preventive against
these evils care should be taken in
the choice Of soaps, creams. foods,
powders, and washes n Uses on the
face, using only the best and doing
without any rather than using cheap
ones. Unfortunately the best will not
agree with every one, that is, different
skins require different tonics and
creams.
The face should be properly washed
with a complexion brush, a soapy lath-
or, and Is rinsed in several waters, the
last being warm and containing a ton

Lingerie Waists.

Although most of the tailored waists
now are trimmed with Marie Antoi-
nette frills and rulings of various
sorts, lingerie waists which still are
worn show a decided lack Of them.
They have insettings of beautiful lace
and numberless hand-run tucks, but
there are no miedallions surrounded
with tiny lace ruffles or lace berthas.
All the trimmings, whether simple or,
extremely elaborate in design, are fiat.
An effective waist seen in one Of the
shops was made entirely Of alloverI
tucking, the material being the finest
Of batiste, and trimmed with an in
tricate pattern In real Valenciennes.
The tops of the sleeves and the stock
were cut all In one with the front and

GENERALLY OF POOR GRADE.
Sales of Cheap JeweIry by Mail
Amount to Millions Annually.

The report of the sales Of one large
mail order house showed nearly . half
millions of dollars worth of jeweIry
and silverware sold annually. Take
the total of all the jewelry sold by
the mail order system of business and
it is likely to amount to fully S25,000,-
900 to $780, 900, 900 annually.
If the people could be made to I'M
derstands what kind of stuff in the
watch and jewelry lines is generally
sent out by the mail order houses they
would be more careful in buying. The
guarantee of these houses amounts to
little, regardless of the millions of dol
lars of capital they may have en-
ployed in the business. All the guar
antee binds them to do is to supply
a new case if the one does not wear
for "the 20-year period" Not n
case in one thousand, even though they
do not last five years, are returned
to the concern for exchange. The
cases are generally lowest grade,
and made to order for the concerns.
Not long since the manager of one of
the catalogue houses called upon a
large watch manufacturing concern.
By the way this company would not
sell the company it's own trade-marked
watches unless there was an agree
ment not to cut prices. However, be-
fore the manager left he had agreed
for several thousand watches to be
supplied them. Those watches were
of a certain grade, were sold at prices
lower than good watches could be as
sembled and tested. These watches
have the special marks of the con-
Germ, but not the name.
In rings, emblems, all classes Of
jewelry, the mail order kind is the
cheapest. Should something of a SUI
perior character be listed, 1t will be
noted that prices are as high as the
local dealer asks. In silyerware is
where the catalogue house gets in its
fine work on patrons. Plated ware
is generally sold according to the
amount of silver, the weight to the
piece or the dozen pieces, used in the
plating and the amount of carved
work, etc. Like other goods, the mail
order house handles a class of ware
that is lightly plated and inferior to
that which is handled in the regular
stores.

cooperatlve systems Weak.

Advocates Of cooperative enter
prises point to the great success of q
few English societies. Glowing re-
ports of how great are the savings to
the people ny these cooperative or
CARNATIONS are given. But here the
law Of compensation plays a part.
While the cooperative methods are ex
tolled, few who are active in coopera-
tive work show the other side of the
question. If some cooperative enthusi-
asst would dissect the report of the
London board of trade, recently made,
1t would be found that since these CO.
operative societies have gained such a
foothold more than half a million
workers in various lines have been af.
fected adversely; that those thrown
out of employment by cooperative ef-
forts are objects OF charity and are a
burden to the different trade guilds.
The substitution of one store for d
hundred may mean economy, but when
thousands are thrown out Of employ
ment by the system what other field
affords them d. living?
