Are Americans running down ply

left the farms and the sea to gather
in cities? We are moved to the in
qulry because the. secretary Of war in
his report for 1909 says that Of 100,99
men examined for the regular army,
S1,S78 were rejected as lacking either
mental, moral or physical dualifica-
tions. The physical lack was most in
evidence; and, as the major percent
age of the would-be recruits hailed
from cities, where recruiting stations
are handiest, the result Of their ply
sical tests would seem to bear directly
on the matter Of environment.

Practically every merchant
in this town spends some
money for lighting his store
front. 1t Us worth while to
do this in such a way as to
get real benefit from it.
One Of the mistakes often
est made is not to put in
enough candle power to
really illuminate. If the
goods on display are not
lighted so as to appear dis
tinctly. and display their
attractiVeneSS as in day
light, the window lighting
is failing to do what you
are paying for.
A small addition to your window illumi-
nation is not expensive, and may make
the difference between profitable and
uuprofitable lighting.
