A Hint to the Mise.

The Paris (Mo.) Appeal, referring to
the business done by mail order houses
throughout the various counties in MIS-
souri,, editorially says: advertising is
costing the merchants Of Monroe coun-
ty thousands of dollars every year-not
that our merchants actually pay out
thousands of dollars each year for ad-
vertising, but the great department
stores in the cities advertise every day
in the year, telling the public just what
they have to sell and what it will cost.
The papers carrying these advertise
ments and thousands of price lists go
all over the county, and people see
what they need advertised and order
it from the city stores. Who can blame
them? Merchants all over this county
have the same goods and often for less
money, but the buyer does not know
it, SO lie sends off for his goods. Now,
if the merchants in this county We're
to use the same methods that the city
merchants use the mail order houses
would get but few orders from old

Catalogue Deceptions.

"No, thank you. l want what l ask
ed for. Good day" This quotation
took the grand prize in a recent con-
test held by a magazine in the cam
paign against substitution in trade.
You do not always get what you ask
for when you order through a cata-

quently in the catalogues. But there
is a still more insidious and contempt
BILE way of deceiving the public which
some of these concerns employ. They
print both a picture and the description
of a piece of furniture, for instance.
According to the picture, it is elegant.
Suppose it is a dining room table. The
picture will show handsome five inch
table legs. The reader is attracted at

two inch legs he is not altogether dis

Home Trade HomiIies.

When your next door neighbor sells
the same kind of goods that the mail
order catalogue advertises and at cor
responding prices, you need a doctors
attention if o purchase by the mail
route.
Every tub must stand on it's own
bottom. So also must every town. If
you knock the bottom out of prosperi-
ty in your town by doing a large part
of your buying from the catalogue
houses, the place is calculated to fall
down pretty soon.
If the farmer who does a good deal
of buying from mail order concerns ex-
poets to continue selling his vegetables
and other products in his home town,
he should remember that it is a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
Folks looking for bargains need not
confine their researches to the large
and Turing catalogues from the city
houses. Sometimes local newspapers
advertise bargains to be had right at
home, and it might pay to look for
such things in the home papers. Then
if you don't find what you want ask
the merchant why he doesn't advertise.
The city mail order store is the real
octopus. Its thousands Of tentacles
are sucking in money from every direc-
ton. Money is the blood Of a commu-
nifty, and when 1T is drunk by the oc,
topus to such an extent the town is
sure to become anaemic,

PURE WATER SUPPLY VITAL.
Health Of a Community Is Very Large
ly Dependent Upon 1t.


Too many precautions cannot be
taken toward guarding the water sup
ply Of a town. Along this line Ed
ward Wegmann says in the Metropoli-
tan Magazine:
The health Of a community depends
largely upon the purity Of its water
supply. Formerly it was thought that
water in which chemistry failed to find
any noNious elements was fit for do
nestle use, but in recent years the sci
ence of bacteriology has demonstrated
that such water may contain the germs
OF dangerous diseases. These germs in
crease very rapidly In number and
are often communicated by the con
tamination of a ource of water supply
o one infected person to a whole
community. Such a case occurred in
1886 in Plymouth, Pa. A man who
had contracted typhoid fever in Phila-
delphia was nursed during the winter
in a house near a mountain brook
which flowed into a river from which
Plymouth derived it's water supply.
The refuse from the sickroom was
thrown on the snow near the house
without being ~disinfected. AS cold
weather does not kill disease germs,
the typhoid germs were washed in the
spring by the melting of the snow into
the mountain stream referred to above,
and as a consequence more than 1000
cases of typhoid fever and about 100
deaths from this disease occurred in
Plymouth, these cases being all con-
fined to persons drinking the polluted
water.
In 1892 Hamburg, Germany, was Wis
tied by a terrible epidemic of cholera.
This city derives its water supply from
the river Elbe. At the time Of the
epidemic the river water without being
filtered was used for domestic purposes.
1t has been proved beyond question
that the germs of cholera We're COM
municated to the city's water supply
by throwing into the river the excreta
OF a sailor who was sick with cholera
on a vessel anchored in the Elbe. Near
~ 5000 persons died of cholera in
Hamburg during this epidemic, but in
Altoona, a suburb of Hamburg, using
Elbe water hat had been filtered
through sand, not a case Of cholera oc-
CURED that could be traced to the drink
ing of the nnfiltered water Of Ham

Shin Guards the RAGE.

The shin guard is to be the fashion
again this summer among the big base
ball men,. Elberfeld and Niles of the
New York Americans are to decorate
their legs with the guards, wearing
them under their stockings, of course.
Elberfeld is always getting his legs into
trouble, or, rather, he is always col
liding with Il base runners spikes.
This is because the kid is so aggressive
that he will take all sorts of chances
to get a runner stealing. Niles, too. has
had some sad experiences with spikes
and believes the guards will prevent
further injury. Shin guards properly
adjusted will not be a drawback. Other
athletes just as active rs q ball play
err wear them.

to give them and just when to pull

certain amount of horseplay and is a

A WEEK LATER.

The New Years resolution
Looks fine and strong and grand
And swollen with importance
To beat the circus band,
AS husky as a pirate,
AS stable as a wall
Weep softly for it's finish,
For pride must have a fall.
With naughty chest parading
On January one,
1t looks as large as lightning
And takes away the bun.
1t isn't quite so bumptuous
On January two.
And from that time it dwindles
And vanishes from view.
1t has some regulations
About cigars and drinks
That puts them on the scrap pile,
There to remain, it thinks.
1t hasn't time or patience
For any kind of vice,
And with correct behavior
1t cuts a lot of ice.
That isn't all the programme,
For on its little list
Not any of the meanness
OF man, the scamp. is missed.
All former forms of folly
1t wipes from off the slate.
Oh, it would be a wonder
If it would operate.
