Merit Vs. Prizes.

Premium schemes and prize Offer
ings held out as bait to the people to
get them to use certain brands of
goods should be very carefully consid-
cred. The most common plan is the
certificate deal, by which is promised
some article represented to be worth
the total amount paid for goods, if
only certain number be saved. Com
mon business sense assures that when
such a proposition is made the goods
must be of an inferior quality, or that
there is a catch somewhere. Goods of
merit do not have to carry a prize in
order that they be in demand. People
are quick to buy goods of merit, par
ticularly in the staple line, if they
know of them. OF the standard brands
Of foodstuffs, of cigars, of thread, Of
different other things, how many are
giving prizes? This is not the case
with numerous classes of goods that
are sold with premium attachment.
Most of them are of inferior quality
and the price paid for them more than
covers the cost of the premium given.
It is the old glimmer of getting some
thing for nothing, and the women who
want tEading stamps, or a prize with
their purchases, pay pretty dearly for
their whistles"

GOV. HARRIS SIGNS
Important Bills On Child Labor and
Railway Liabilities.

Columbus. O.-Gov. Andrew l.. Har-
ris affixed his signature officially to
the Reynolds child labor and the Metz
ger railway liability laws. The first
prohibits the employment of children
under II years and limits the hours Of
labor for boys between II and 1G and
girls up to is years of age to eight
hours a day between I a. m. and 6. d.
III. The second does away with as
sumod risk of employment as bar for
damages; repeals the old law prOvid-
ing that railway servant injured
through the negligence of fellow
servant could not recover damages,
and lastly, creates the doctrine of pro-
pOrtionate negligence, so that if en-
FlCycr and employe are both guilty of
negligence the jury may determine
which is most to blame Finally, it
gives juries sole power to determine
questions of negligence, whereas this
was once the province Of judges.

HOME NEWSPAPERS.
They Bring Many Benefits to the
Town and to Their Patrons.

If the average merchant would calm
ly study over the matter of benefits
that can be brought around by the
home paper the editor would receive
a more liberal advertising patronage.
The country-town paper fills a Pc
culiar field. There is no substitute
for it. 1t is the purveyor of local
news, the criterion of the degree of
prosperity of the town. Week after
week the editor talks to a thousand
or more people of the community. He
is the molder of public opinion, and
his paper is not alone his own mouth
piece, but the megaphone of the
whole surrounding country. People
read daily papers that are published
in the large cities for the large amount
of current general news; the local
paper is read for the little doings in
the local field. Rarely does the sub
scription list represent dollars enough
to pay running expenses. The paper
must have advertising to be success.
Let it be announced single time that
there will be an auction sale of John
Jones' live stock, agricultural imple-
ments and other wares, and see how
many will be at the auction. This
proves it's value as an advertising me-
dium. Note the most successful
sterekeeper in any town, and you will
find he is the most liberal patron of
the home paper.

Driven Out by Pure Food Law.

During the past half dozen years
there has been constant cry for pure
food, and this clamor has caused near
ly all the states, and the national gov
ernment as we'll, to enact pure food
lIws. If there has been need for re-
form it has been in lettering the
classes of foods which are intended
to feed the millions as we'll as keep
them in good health, and improving
the conditions under which they are
prepared.
Such frauds had grown up in food
stuffs that it was imperative that
stringent measures be taken to pro-
tect the lives and the health of the
people. Unprincipled persons engaged
in manufacturing of baking powders,
fiavoring extracts, the selling of spices
and coffees and teas, and their prod
ucts were the vilest combinations of
drugs snd other materials. These
goods were disposed of to dishonest
groceIs, but the chief way of selling
them was through travelling agents,
and direct by mail. Not many months
ago the pure food department of a
western state secured shipment of
Lnore than a dozen different articles
of food from concern that sold its
products direct to the consumer.
Analysis Of all the articles proved
each and every one adulterated. Bak.
ing powder was composed of cheap
-four, starch, tartaric acid and alum
what was labeled pure spices" con.
sisted of ground bark and a highly
concentrated fiavoring substance. So
1t was with all the goods. Since the
pure food laws have been in effect,
many of these concerns have quit
business.

At Island Park Theater.

The Oliver D. Bailey Stock Co. re-
| peated Tuesday its great success of
Monday evening, presenting before a
large audience, the delightful comedy,
The Man from Mexico" From the
rising of the curtain to its final fall,
the audience was kept in one con-
tinuous uproar humorous situations
and clever acting occurring rapidly.
The main thread of the plot is that
young Fitzhew is obliged to spend 80
days in Jail and in order to hide this
fact from his wife, states to her that
he is going for 30days trip to
Mexico. His final return home and
his vain attempts to conceal his term
in JAIL lead to innumerable humorous
situations.
The parts We're as usual, exception
ally well taken, every member of the
cast showing skilful interpretations of
their respective parts while the whole
play was entered into with marked
zest oliver d. Bailey in the leading
role of Benjamin FitZhew treated the
audience with perhaps the best comedy
acting of the season, while Miss Irv-
ing, as Clementina FitZhew, was ex-
ceptionally good. Other clever work
worthy of special mention, was done
by Charles Newman, Leo M. Kantor,
Albert S. Wees, and Lillian Knox:
/. The speeialties as usual were up to
their high class standard and were
fully appreciated by the patrons Of the
theater. Miss Carpenter is singing
this week, a song well adapted to her
beautiful voice. Santiago Flynn"
Everyone who has not yet seen 'The
Man from Mexico" should do SO to-
day. for this play is perhaps one Of
the best yet presented at the park. A
matinee and evening performance of
this play will be given today. and for
the remainder of the week, the strong
comedy drama, "A Woman Who Saved
Him." will be presented.
