This is the age of substitution, and

upon Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
not accept something else on which the
druggist can make a little more profit.
Women who are passing through this
critical period or who are suffering

culiar to their sex should not lose sight
of the fact that for thirty years Lydia

A Judicial Paradox.

The decision of the United States
supreme court in the Standard Oil case
might have been a great deal worse
than it was. 1t would have been
much worse had Justice Harlan had his
way. AS it stands, the decision merely
requires the Standard Oil Co. to make
a new distribution of the stock held by
it and that means simply the employ
ment of a few additional stenographers
and bookkeepers to keep up the rec
ords. The Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey will be dissolved and the num-
erous small concerns of which it has
obtained control must be maintained as
separate corporations. The people who
are now in control of the Standard Oil
Co. will doubtless continue in control
of the small corporations, and there
will be no practical difference in the
situation so far as outsiders are con
cerned. SAYS Cleveland Inland Grocer
and Butcher.
The complaints against the STANDARD
Oil Co. may be said to simmer down tC
two items. One of these is that the
company has taken undue advantage OF
its competitors by securing lower rates
for transportation of its goods than
could be secured by any of the smaller
concerns. The other is that the com
pany has been in the habit of crushing
competition by selling goods at los'
in order to drive weaker competitor
out of business. The government
maintains that railroad rates should b.
as infexible as the price of postage
stamps. To that proposition no on
will object, but the governments ap
parent contention that the action o
the Standard Oil Co. in cutting prices
to drive out competition is an offense
while the action of the druggists il
trying to prevent price cutting is als'
an offense presents paradox which re
minds us of the creed of certain re
ligious body which is rudely rhyme'

You will and you won't,

Saving Money on Waste Paper.

A few weeks ago, before the st. Louis
Retail Grocers' association. a retired
grocer told the members present that
while in business he paid his rent
through the sale of boxes, etc. This
is source of extra profit that MANY
grocers know little about, though they
are aware they can sell their empty
boxes and barrels, says st. Louis Inter
state Grocer.
There is money in selling by-products.
waste paper, old newspapers, Dashboard
boxes, etc, all have commercial value
ana are bought by the ton by paper
mills scattered throughout the country.
In describing the profit to be made in
tins way, a man who knows all about
waste paper, says:
When you bale your scrap papers,
twlnes, rags, etc, in marketable shape
there is assured profitable and grow
ing lncome-and that, too, from a source
that to rs per cent of business men to-
day means dead loss.
IF you have given no consideration
to the value of old newspaper stock,
catalogs, ledgers, pasteboard boxes, ETC.,
you have been burning in the past, it
is to your interest to make an investiga-
ton; you will be completely surprised at
the value of this product put in shape
for shipment.
The values, as you will learn, are
such that no thinking man with moder-
ate capital in the smaller towns, can
longer afford to overlook this source of
revenue.
AS you burn your money every
time you allow your waste paper to go
to the fire, we will proceed on the sup
position that you are willing to turn
over new leaf and convert this waste
product into profit. The way is shown
you by the data following:
Scattered throughout the United
States are some seven thousand re-
sponsible concerns buying every pound
of scrap paper that is baled and put
on the market.
The demand for paper stock is grow
ing more pronounced every year, and
prices realized on its are steadily ad
vancing.
"The past year has witnessed ex
IRENE high values in this stock-value:
that are based upon sound and per
manent grounds.
"The destruction of a million acre.
of wood pulp timber means the APP
preaching exhaustion of this, the chic
source of supply of the paper indus
tries.
owe import yearly six to seven mil
lion dollars in value of old scrap pape
and rags.
"And that's the reason you want t,
sell your scrap.
"Grocers accumulate what are term
ed mixed paper; they include anythin,
whatsoever that is made of paper
pasteboard boxes, strawboard boxes, an,
the only requirements are to keep then
reasonably free from dirt, strings an,
foreign matter.
cold newspapers are divided into sew
eral different grades, what are terme,
crumpled news, folded news, and over
issues. The over-issues are papers fresl
from the press.
"Mixed papers sell for as low as $50
per ton delivered and as high a
$500 per ton, delivered. News a
low as 5000, delivered, and up to 500.
"But-you have to get the scrap t
them. The only practical way of han
ding your scrape is to bale it,
There are several baling machines O.

AMERICAN INVASION
OF BRITISH COLONY

do not know just why the Ameri-
can prices should prevail so in Ber-
muda. 1t costs no more than ever to
raise things there, and the Bermu-
dams, who are mostly people of COM
paratively small incomes, must suf-
fer from the rise in the cost of living
more than the American visitors or
soiourners. Even in the shops, where
they used to pay English prices for
English goods, they now pay Ameri-
can prices, quite as if they had an
American tariff to enable the local
manufacturers to make fortunes and
go abroad and marry their daughters
to noblemen. Otherwise / do not
know that our nation does the Ber-
mudans much harm. We swarm upon
them by the thousands, three times a
week, when the New York steamers
come, in a lump, as it were, on three
successive days, instead of spread
ing themselves over the seven days;
and we romp up and down their quiet
streets, to the music of our cat-bird
twang. At these times we have rather
a wild look, and talk loudly, and laugh
, more than we need if we are women
but that is because the beauty and the
strangeness Of the place have gone to
our heads, sometimes, perhaps not 100
strong at home. If we are men, we
sound a different nasal, dry sarcastic
note, and wear an ironic smile with
the new straw hats we have bought.
We are mostly, | think, from familiar
country places, or inland cities, and
have not been abroad before. We
mean nothing wrong, and many of
us are charmingly kind and good, and
even intelligent. But the whole bust
ness is a delightful joke for us, wheth-
er we stroll up and down the clean,
white streets between the clean,
white houses, or drive lavshly out
over the land in the pleasant victorias,
and try too audibly to extract misin-
formation from the obliging colored
drivers. If we go home the next day,
we do not quiet down, but if we stay d
week we become of an almost Ber-
mudan calm. A fortnight makes us
over in the image of the colonial Eng
lish, who have been in the islands for
| generations.-W d. Howells, in Har
per's Magazine for December.
