SYMPATHETIC COUGHING.

THEY SHOULD HAVE a CARE.

The rights Of tobacco users. to blow
around smoke indiscrfminately has
often been questioned by cranks who
abomInate the habit and dislike the

Norwich used to have a minister
who proclaimed that smokers had no
right 10 enter markets and grocery
stores and smoke up the goods the
public were expected to purchase.
Nov, here Is the criticism of a
smoker which will be read with sat

IN ne way We handle loose tobacco.
The women walked away much dis

Home trading is town booming
Civic pride should prompt 1T, as well
| as every citizens welfare There is
involved in it the principle of reci-
precity. The more money there is
spent in trade in town the more money
is likely to be spent in improvements
L means bigger and better stocks of
goods, Increased taxes on the part Of
business which means a lower tax rate
for all
Home trade to a large extent is
guaranty trade, for goods must be al
represented or they will be returned;
and the goods will be taken back, or
the deficiencies be made good by the
home merchant, who must do business
on honor to keep his trade and extend
it,
What makes business lively and
tenements in demand is the amount of
money in circulation The larger 1t
is per capita, the greater demand there
is for work of every sort; and the
more money there is spent in town the
more there is in circulation--the
greater amount per capita
Every dollar that goes out of town
in trade makes for better times in
the town it goes to-not in Norwich
Out of town investments may return
dividends to home folks; but they
make the wheels go round and en-
ploy help elseWhere-home industries
increased mean more men busy in the
Rose of New England, larger popu-
Ia tieel, q growing grand list, which
again means q lessening tax rate.
The inhabitants of any community
who are loyal to all home interests are
prcgressives in every sense of the
word. Speaking a good word always
for ones home town is shaping influ-
enco; but trading at home constantly
is doing the right thing-is benefiting
every citizen in the place.
To attract trade to a town the mer-
chants should see that they win the
repute of making a good market to
sell in and a good market to buy ina
dear market means bad business re-
pute and a check to trade
Home trade is one way of all pulling
together for the growth, the prosper
ity and fair fame of. every place. 1t
spells civic organization for a pur-
pose which is attractive to those who
are looking for a place to locate in |
as well as profitable to those who !
recognize that in union there is |
strength.

II IS used to represent the reform

in the Redeemer, the Lord Jesus

troduced by the Messiah, who saws.

II cannot be learned too early that

In walk through city streets it is
apparent that too large a per cent of
the people never become aware of this
fact. Once conscious OF the fact man

his history i'll his face; and there is
where his character is read of men.
BY a law of nature the tree writes it's
history within and it is a closed book
until found and read by the expert
woodsman-man writes his history
within but it finds expression without.
The face of every man is his index
and every index has a reader some

means the putting on of a good face;
and departure from the paths of recti-
tude makes lines on the human face
which spell misery, and produce on
