Deal in shoddx Clothing.

Many Of the old-timers these days
wonder why the clothing they used
to wear years ago was so much better
than is now securable unless extreme
ly high prices be paid. A little thought
makes an explanation easy. This is
an age of advancement in every way,
and frauds increase along with i'm
proved machinery, scientific methods,
etc. In fact the whole system of i'm
provement seems to involve means of
lessening cost of production.
Thirty years ago such thing as
shoddy was not known. When one
purchased a suit of clothes, it was
"all wool" but at present it is an ex-
ceptional thing in cheaper garments
to find this the case. The reports of
the government show that each year
hundreds of tons of shoddy, or wooden
goods ground up, are imported into
the United States, and heavy duty
paid on the same. This shoddy is
manufactured into cloth by various
processes. 1t is most often woven
around a cotton thread, and some
times is forced into the texture after
the cloth is woven. In samples sent
out by the cheap clothing concerns,
this shoddy can be picked out Often
it is so loosely woven that if a bit of
the cloth be crumbled\ between the
fingers, it will fall out in the form of
dust Great quantities of this
cloth are utilized by the makers of
cheap clothing who DO business
through the mails direct with the
wearers. A suit of this kind can be
purchased from eight to $20-and
dear at that. The goods generally
look well, but lose shape, and in few
weeks show all their defects. Seldom
are such goods sold by regular cloth
ing merchants, who have reputation
to maintain, and if they are, they are
sold without misrepresentation.

and bis equally popular tonic Alternative
known as Dr. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery. Hereafter every bottle OF
these medicines leaving the great Labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, will bear upon II
a full list Of all the ingredients entering
into the compound. Both are made
entirely from native medicinal roots;

being made Of native medicinal roots, Is
next to Nature and is the best tonic you
can use. 1t fills the blood with rich, red
blood corpuscles. It gives you q feeling
Of strength, and it puts sunshine into
your system as no other remedy can.
That is why DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
zeal Discovery has been such o favorite
for the past forty years. No man or
woman can be either healthy or hand
some who has impurities in the blood,
for it will show in pimples, boils, and
eruptions, in the dark circles under the

Master plumbers in Newburgh, ~
j., have declared war against the mail
order business as applied to their line,
and have refused to handle stock
bought of mail order concerns. The
decision was arrived at in the case Of
man who is building on Washing
ton Heights. The plumbers said this
man sought for bids for doing the
plumbing and was not satisfied with
the prices. He then asked how much
II would cost to do the work If he
would furnish the materials The
plumbers refused to consider this at
all
They said they are content with a
reasonable profit on their supplies,
but if these are not purchased from
them they may as we'll go out OF bust
ness for all the profit they will
make on the wages of the men alone.
The man had sent to Chicago for
his materials and they had arrived
here, but one after another OF the
plumbers refused to touch them One
reason assigned was that the western
connections We're such the local men
were not familiar with the work,
The man was in quite a uuandary
FOR time, because TO have sent to
Chicago TO bring man here, or in
fact TO bring anyone here from out Of
town would mean an expense of at

ed for a license to do plumbing work
in Newturgh. Under a state law,
master plumbers must have a license.

ALL ARE INJURED
BY SENDING MONEY TO ENRICH
MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
VALUE OF FARM LAND HURT
Prosperity Of Town and Prosperity
Of Country Surrounding It Are
Identical--LocaI Merchant Is
Friend of Farmer.

A writer in the Fullerton (Neb)
News,Journal gives some pointed rea-
sons why the farming community sur
rounding every town should get be-
hind the town and push its business
interests. urging consideration of what
that would mean compared to patron
izing mail order houses. If the town
grows, land values grow all around
1t. II business men are compelled to
reduce their stocks or go to other
fields in order to get business, 1t is
not the town only but the farming
community that suffers. The question
is asked, what personal interest is 1t
to any one in that country to enrich
the mail order houses? The money
spent away from home is taken from
the prosperity Of the town, and just
as directly from the prosperity of the
country surrounding 1t. The writer
declares that it is as much to the in
terest Of every man who owns a farm
in Nance county to keep Fullerton
flourishing as it is for the people in
side the city to keep it ffourishing.
The continued growth of good town
always gives added value to all farm
lands adjoining. The local merchant
in a town is the friend and neighbor
OF the farmer. The mail order house
is nothing of the kind, and it cares
nothing for the individual interests of
the farmer except to get his money
The local merchant, besides bearing
his share of taxes is always assisting
the churches and charities of the COM
munity. No such help comes from
mail order houses. The larger bust
ness that is given to the home mer-
chant allows him to carry the larger
stock and to sell at a smaller mar
gin. To sacrifice your home town
is to depreciate local real estate val
ues and retard the growth of values
of both town and farm property. The
town that seems prosperous and looks
prosperous invites investment not only
in the town, but in the locality, so that
a stranger, looking for a location be-
comes interested and a purchaser,
while he would ordinarily leave the
dead town and its surrounding terri
tory out of consideration.
