Dealers and Freight Claims.

A retailer who is pressing freight
claim against railroad can aid him
self and expedite matters by observing
few simple directions as to the man.
ner in which he should go about it, says
Progressive Retailer.
His claim, it must be remembered.
should always have the support of the
original bill of lading, the receipted
freight bill and either the original in
voice or a certified copy of the same.
The two first named are needed by
the railroad agent SO that he can make
sure that there shall be no duplicating
OF the claim. No claim agent can well
consider claim in the absence of these
papers. Whoever files the claim,
whether he be the shipper or the con.
slgnee, or some one else, provided he
has furnished these two documents, is
taken for granted to be the person en-
titled to any remuneration under the
claim.
The reason why the railroad wants
either the invoice or a proved copy Of
the same is obvious.
When the claim reaches the railroad
postal card in acknowledgment is
mailed to the claimant, which shows
the amount of the claim and the rail
road s number. Thus, if the claimant
should have occasion, at any time, to
consult the railroad as to his claim, the
agent could Immediately lay his hands
upon the papers in the case, guided by
the number.
Claimants should remember that the
railroads have many such cases to dis
pose OF, and that each must travel it's
full official route before the claim can
be settled.
When the claim is received the agent
sends the paper back over .the route
which the freight under consideration
has travelled until it reaches the point
where it was delivered to the railroad.
1t the error was made there, that fact
is agreed upon. If not there, then the
papers are sent to each transfer sta
ton, so that the point where it occur
red may be located. This takes time,
and shows that the blame for delay can
not be laid on the agent before whom
the claim is filed.
Much trouble can be avoided if the
merchant from whom the claim origi-
mates would observe few simple rules:
1. Each claim should be accompa.
MED by paid freight bill.
2. If the claim is one based upon an
alleged overcharge, the shipping re-
ceipt or bill of lading, which shows
both the weight and freight rate, should
be attached.
3. If it is for lost merchandise, in
addition to the paid freight bill, there
should be attached the original invoice
or duplicate of the same, also the
shipping receipt, showing that the
goods were received at the shipping
point.
a. The claimant should further make
his claim on his regular billhead, Civ
ing the item if for loss, or the amount
paid if for loss, or the amount paid if
for freight overcharge, deducting the
correct charge-the remainder show
ing the alleged overcharge
There is, however, no little Justice in
the point made by some merchants
that the filling of the original evidence
with the railroad leaves the claimant
without further possession of the same,
and that the railroad company might
just as well make the investigation on
their own records-as they no doubt
really do in any case.

HOW TO SUCCEED.
Depends Entirely on Superior Merit
and knowledge

During the last few years, condition.
in all lines of business, even profes
sional life, have changed SO completely
that every man is waking up to the
fact that in order to win success he
must specialize and learn to do some
one thing and do it well.
So it is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable rec.
ord maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Remedy. From the very begin
ming the proprietors had so much conf.
dence in it that they invited every one
to test it, free Of cost, before pur.
chasing.
It is a physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands Of letters
received from former sufferers who are
now enjoying good health as a result Of
its use.
However, If you wish first to try q
sample bottle, address DR.. Kilmer q Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, and mention this

Now that the late census figures of
state population are out, it is very in.
teresting and encouraging to note that
with one exception, Utah, every state
west of the Rockies has increased in
population over so per cent in the past
10 years, and Utah has increased over
80 per cent. No state east of the Mis-
sissippi has shown this increase, and
only two, Florida and New Jersey, have
increased over 80 per cent. Washing
ton shows the greatest increase, hav-
ing gained 100 per cent, which Iowa has
decreased three-tenth Of one per cent.
This report is assuredly encouraging,
as the west needs most of all, good,
live people. 1t has the resources, in
Vulnerable, and the climate is almost,
without exception, incorporate. The
outlook for the future immigration to
the west is very encouraging, and there
should be no let-up in the efforts to Sc
cure new settlers, as the future de-
velopment of this part of the United
States depends greatly upon the increas-
ing population.

Show Window Advertising,

"Did it ever strike you," retailer
asked recently, "that after all a win
dow trim is in the last sense an adver.
tisement, and just as you would use
advertising space to get custom SO
should you handle your window trims
with the same object9" says the South
ern Merchant.
Take, for example, the present time.
What would you advertise in the papers
to push your sales? Prices. Style is
settled, pretty nearly everybody knows
the kind of goods that they want to
buy, if they contemplate buying any
thing, and the only thing they are in
terested in is prices, and since many
people do not contemplate buying at
all, it is only prices that induce them
to become customers.
IF this is true of the advertisement
it is also true Of the show window, and
the trim that is most effective at this
time is a trim in which price cards
along with the goods shown are the i'm
portant feature. Now, suppose it is
the opening of season, say next Sep
TENDER for example. Then the thing
that you would talk about in the papers
would be your styles for fall, and by
the same token it would be tasteful ar
rangements of fall models that would
be most effective and attract most at
tention in the show window.
land so it would be possible, if
necessary, to go more into detail with
these things. 1t will be found every
time that what constitutes the most eff
fective advertisement constitutes also
the most effective window trim and is
most calculated to bring customers into
the store.''

Meanest Traders in the World.

There is colony of merchants in
Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, who
can give cards and spades even to the
bland Chinaman, "for ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain.n They
take one match out of every box they
sell until they have enough matches to
fill another box and so make an extra
cent. They shave tiny flakes off cakes
of soap and boil them down to make
other cakes. They put thin layer of
molasses on the bottom of the SCOOP
with which they serve rice so that a
few grains will stick to the bottom.
These are only few of their thousand
tricks to turn a dishonest penny. With
out doubt they are the meanest traders
in the world.

The Habit of Drifting.

Drifting" says writer in one of
the magazines, "is the Father and
Mother of all bad habits, all crime, all
wasted, useless, unhappy and dissatis-
fed lives.' This may be putting it
pretty strong, but it will be universally
admitted that there is much of truth
in this statement. The boy or girl, man
or woman who has nothing to do but
to drift into bad company, and bad COM
pany is responsible for the commission
of many crimes.
The man who drifts never gets any
place. A fixed purpose and a strong
will are necessary to every accomplish
ment. Those who have strong ambi-
ton to take position Of responsibility
and honor among men never realize it
by drifting. One never drifts into a
good position. One may imagine that
he is drifting toward something worth
while, but he is sure, sooner or later,
just before his goal has been reached,
that the driftwood got between him
and the place he sought and he was
carried down the current Of the stream.
The fellow who accomplishes things
never drifts. He is constantly seek
ing to do his full share of the world g
work. The drifter may never contract
any Of the baser habits, as is indi-
Gated by the quotation above, but he
never does anything else worth while.
He is simply cumberer Of the ground,
and is always in the way. He is con-
sumer of the world g products without
producing anything of value. And
drifting is one Of the easiest habits to
form and the most difficult to break
away from.

The day of "13" as postage stamp
denomination is fast waning and soon
it will be known only to phiIatelists, as
the supply of thirteen-cent stamps at
the postofice department has been ex-
hausted and no more will be printed.
They continue to be valid for postage
and those on hand at postoffices will be
sold. The stamp was first authorized
as a convenience, being a combination
of the registry fee of eight cents and
the foreign postage of five cents. With
the raising of the registry fee to ten
cents, the old combination figure was
rendered useless, and the postmaster
general ordered their discontinuance.
