The readers CT this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at leas-
one disease that science has been able
to cur in all it's stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con.
s~titutional treatment. Halls Catarrn
Cure is taken internally, acting dl oct.
iy upon the blood ana mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up me
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietcrs have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for
any case that I. fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.

Cooperative Scheme.

One of the latest CRAFTS to gather in
the farmers is the cooperative store
game The field FOR this work is pro-
life; the west has had prosperity that
has filled the pockets of many farm
ers, and it has made them greedy for
more, and easy victims for the man
who has a scheme that promises a
field for investment and the saving Of
more dollars. The cooperative store
is plan that takes, and everywhere
a success has been made of a co-opera-
tive elevator or similar enterprise
that may be in the farmers line the
promoter of the cooperative store gets
busy If only a little stock is sub
scribed for, all the same, as it gives
the promoter and his hackers a better
swing, and the jobbing houses that
are behind the movement will have
things their own way. The big rake
off is in the supplying of goods at from
ten to fifteen per cent more than the
legitimate dealer would be required
to pay, and selling at a smaller per-
centage Of profit. The salary of the
manager and the clerks takes up the
big share of the profits" but as long
as a showing Of earnings can be made
the scheme succeeds, and the regular
stores find business dull. Dozens Of
stores of this class have failed with
in the past few years.

took place Scotland was very poor, but
now it is much Weather, more enlight
ened and more populous. The argu'
ment that bad government has made
the country poor is not presented by
the Scottish home rulers, as II is in Ire

forward the ground that 1t would be

bribery and fraud. So far there Is no
sure intimation that if this bill pass the
House it will also pass the Lords, but
the chances are that the Lords will
throw it out, for its success would be
an argument for Irish home rule.

THURSDAY, JUNE II, 1908.

Congress adjourned with record OF
over one billion appropriations for one
year. 1t is only a few years ago that "A
billion dollar congress broke the record,
but now we have that amount more
than doubled, for the appropriations
now made are for one year only. As
the population is now estimated at about
50 millions, the expenditures for the
coming fiscal year will exceed Sl2 per
capita or $50 per family. That Is - n
month for each man to pay in taxes TO
the Federal Government whether he is
rich or poor a business man, farmer
or wage Garner.
The Republican party certainly is a
record breaker for spending money, but
unfortunately its record for spending
will not be equaled nv the receipts, for
the estimate of the chairman of the
ways and means committee Of the re
ceipts of the government for the coming
fiscal year Is $3.50, 600, 600 les. than the
appropriations.
Congress started ont to do nothing
but pass the appropriation bills and
stand pat on everything else, and rs for
useful or reform legislation, it came
mighty near carrying ont the designs Of
its leaders.

Number Of Delegates.

Some people have wondered why it is
that there will be 1,OO3 delegates for the
Denver Convention and only 992 at the
Chicago convention, since the represent
alton in both is based upon the repre-
sentation Of the various states in con
gress. The explanation is found in the
fact that the Democrats allowed six
delegates each to the District of Colum-
bia, Hawaii and Porto Rico to which
the Republicans allowed only two dele.
gates each, while the Republicans al
lowed two delegates to the Philippines,
which will not be represented at all in
the Democratic convention. -Kennebec

Too Much Clothino.

The chief quarrel which hygiene has
with clothing is that there is too much
of it; garments come down too far, are
too tight, too heavy, too hot, writes Dr..
Woods Hutchinson. We do much more
harm to our health by overlooking our.
selves with clothing and by overin-
dulging ourselves in the luxury Of
warmth-cramping the movements OF
the body, interfering with the respira-
ton, depriying the skin OF its most in
alicnable right, the right to fresh air,
absorbing the perspiration and max.
ing refrigerating cold pack for the
body after eXercise-than is done by
wearing tight stays or tight boots.

Local Dealer Sometimes TO Blame.

Thousands Of dollars go out OF JEFF
ferson county each year in connection
with the mail order business, to the
loss Of the local dealers and manu-
facturers. 1t does not help very much
to appeal on the ground of patriot
ism to those people who buy Of outside
dealers, as purchasers go where they
think they can find the best bargains.
Every one must recognize the fact
that the local dealer cannot prosper
without local trade, but there are a
lot of people who fail to govern them
selves accordingly. Orders for goods
are sent to Syracuse or New York or
Chicago which could have been as
cheaply bought in Watertown, but this
is frequently the local dealers fault.
The great success Of the big mail or
der houses has been built up almost
wholly by advertising. Fortunes are
spent In letting the people Of the coun-
try know what they have to sell Lib
eral space in the newspapers and mag
azines is used to exploit the mail or
der business in addition to the cata-
logues issued. These are the avenues
through which the houses draw
large part Of their business.
Is there not a lesson here for the
local dealer? Cannot he hold some Of
the business which goes to the outside
mail order houses by judicious use Of
the columns of the local newspapers?
The Watertown newspapers have
large circulation through the towns
and rural districts of northern New
York. The Standard believes the local
merchants and manufacturers could
divert much of this trade to them
selves if they took the proper meth
DDS. The Standards interests are
wholly with the local dealer and these
suggestions are made with the firm
conviction that he has a remedy for
his loss of trade in local advertising

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

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 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
ducement a few head of cattle, bar
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 sop 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 If his goods are stand

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 larger profit than
the average dealer in goods OF his
kind. In the first place he sells the
cheapest kind of article, even though
it 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 it Is the one who
receives it that generally pays for it.

too much common sense to think that
she can afford to give away a 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.

a pound of over-ripe butter. Still
Mrs Jones will join soap clubs, coffee

not stop to do a little sound thinking.
