THE MAIL ORDER HABIT.

Persons who have the mail order
habit frequently have experiences
that shake their faith in the system.
A business man cited these instances
that were called to his attention.
/ have some personal aquaintances
and friends with the great mail-order
houses of Chicago. and they told me
OF man working in a carpet factory
In Philadelphia who, through reading
the attractive advertisements, sent to
Chicago for a carpet which came out
of the mill in which the man worked,
and before he got his carpet on the
floor 1t had cost him more than double
what it would have done had he pur-
chased it from his employers.
I'm an other case a woman ordered
a food product, and when it arrived
found 1t was an article produced by
her husband two blocks away. A rel
ative of a New Orleans merchant sent
to New York for fabric, and her hus.
band was secretary Of the company
that wove the goods.
There are many similar instances
AS rule they cure the habit, but
there are some aggravated and chron.
ic cases that have gone too far to be
cured. This is when the mail order
becomes a lottery, a habit of purchas.
Ing goods never seen and accepting
them with the knowledge that better
goods at better price could have
been secured at home, all in the hope
that some day g real prize will be Sc.
cured.

SENATOR ALLIsoN,s FORTUNE.

SENH lux AlElSON'S fORIUNE.
A tribute to the honesty Of Senator
Allison is paid in the following edi-
torial in todays issue of the Chicago
Record-Herald:
s'The will of Senator William B. ALI
son was filed for probate today. The
value of the estate is estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000"
This brief statement in Dubuque
dispatch is striking commentary on
the life of a man who for nearly half
a century occupied high place among
the lawmakers of the nation, and who
for more than half of that period was
the leader of his party in all financial
legislation in the United States sen.
ate.
Senator Allisons position brought
him into contact with all the great
financiers of the country, who always
held him in the highest esteem. In.
formation derived from such associa,
tion might well have furnished oppor-
tunities for investments that would
have brought wealth.
Yet, with an eye single to the serv.
ice of his state and the nation, Sena-
tor Allison ended his long career pos
sessed of only modest competence.
The Record Herald points out that
in these days, when we hear 80 much
of graft" and the betrayal of the
public interests for private gain, such
an example cannot be overlooked

New York the figures are 1874 and ia
while in Kansas there has been drop
from 1914 bushels to 1918. Similar
findings are made in the other states.
This is due, according to Mr.. Hill, to
the prodigal exhaustion of large hold

small farms, scientifically cared for

believes the American farmer must

ERE LOSS

The fact that the United States in
the last ten years has had nine times
more fire waste and interruption of
business than western Europe Is adj
vanced as an argument by a large
eastern manufacturer for govern
mental investigation of better building
methods. He urges an investigation
Of proper building code for adoption
by municipalities all over the country,
elastic enough to be applicable to
every large city and town. His plan
is for the government to study and
formulate a plan, and impose a code
on the city of Washington, which
would be it's authoritative conclusion
on the subject, broadly enough CON
sidered for national use. The state
governments could then adopt this
national municipal building code, and
as far as possible influence its adop-
tion in turn by the municipalities with
in their borders. The government
could do no more than this as there
is neither present machinery, lppro-
priation, nor constitutional! authority
for the federal government to impose
such a code on the country.
1t seems strange that so little has
been done towards lessening the dan
ger of loss to life and property from
fire. In some cities there are building
regulations that minimize the degree
of danger, but in many cities +here is
haphazard building system that per-
mits the construction of dangerous fire
traps in the most crowded districts.
The suggestion for an investigation
of a uniform building code is worth
consideration. 1t could be taken up
by governmental commission at com
paratively small cost anG the findings
of such commission, if without Off
cial weight, might be followed as a
guide by states and municipalities
Experience has taught that nothing
short Of disastrous fire loss will
move most municipalities 10 enforce
proper building regulat:o oEs. And
then it is seldom that the lesson is
taken homo by other communities.
The agitation given this lostion by e
governmental investigation would
doubtless BE- the means of bringing
about improvements that would les
sen the heavy fire waste and the costly
interruption of business, which in,
Surance cannot cover.
