FIGHT MAIL ORDER HOUSES
BY USING THEIR METHODS.
Advertise to Gain the Confidence of
the People and Quote Fair
Prices,

In this the age of printers ink there
is just one way for home merchants to
compete with mail order houses, and
that is to advertise. The mail order
houses must be met both in prices and
publicity. In this competition the
home merchant has the natural adj
vantages of time, of freight rates and
of the local newspaper. He can deliver
goods at once, whereas the order house
requires weeks He can deliver direct
without transportation charges. In
his home paper he has an avenue for
advertising.
People trade with mail order houses
because they think they get goods
cheaper. Investigation shows that, on
the whole, this is a mistake. Consider.
ing the quality of goods sold, local
stores in most cases sell as cheaply as
the order houses. and they can ac-
quaint the public with this fact by adj
vertising.
Advertising, however, must be done
persistently and intelligently if it is to
bring the best results. Advertising
copy should be changed every inser-
ton. 1t should be made simple. hon
est, definite, direct. 1t should be per-
sonal, the merchant talking to his pa
iron.
1t should be striking enough to at
tract attention and with sufficient in
terest and information to hold the at
tention attracted. 1t should not only
bring customers to the store, but
should bring them looking for some
definite article or line of articles.
Customers Of mail order houses have
learned that many Of the goods sold
are not durable. This is the disad-
vantage of buying without inspection.
Here is another item favoring the
home merchant. but in order that it
may be telling the home merchant
\ must use it. He must fight the order
| house with its own weapons fight
publicity with publicity, price with
price.
The order house makes its campaign
by the use Of printers ink. The home
merchant must make his campaign by
the use Of printers ink. The order
house is careful to give the smallest
customer to understand that his wants
are being promptly looked after.
The merchant must have the same
prompt, businesslike way. Cash fol
lows confidence. Success comes from
knowing and doing. Advertising al
ways pays if the advertiser knows how
and keeps at 1t.

SAVING POULTRY FEATHERS.
Source of Profit if You Know How to
Handle Them.

7anQI0 lhSfI.
Probably few poultry growers ex-
cept those who make Il speciality of the
production of feathers realize that they
might add considerably to their profits
by saving the feathers from parts ct
the chickens as we'll as of ducks and
geese.
All the soft, fluffy feathers on the
under side of the body are available for
stuffing pillows and cushions and these
should be plucked before the fowl Is
scalded.
Those of white fowls of whatever
species always bring higher prices than
dark ones, although the latter are fully
as valuable for most purposes.
Turkeys also furnish a quantity Of
soft feathers as we'll as those of the
wings and tail, the latter being mar
ketable products worked up into brush
es and busters and utilized in other
ways.
To prepare feathers for the market
or for use merely drying in the sun or
by a low degree of fire heat is not suf-
quire to be removed, and this is done
in various ways. Perhaps the best
method is as follows:
Prepare solution of quicklime by
shaking the latter in the proportions Of
| one pound to each gallon of water.
After the mixture has settled pour off
and strain the clear liquid and stir
into it such quantities of the feathers
as it will thoroughly cover keeping the
latter immersed in this for two or three
days, stirring repeatedly with a paddle.
Then skim off all scales and impurities
that have risen to the surface and lift
the feathers out to drain on to a wire
screen and when the lime water ceases
to drip rinse thoroughly in hot and
then in cold water and place again on
the sieves to dry.

IN had she not been cross eyed.
She did not know that the
trouble could be corrected and suffer
ed the blight on her beauty with be-
coming patience. She would some
times use one eye, then the other.
Ruth had three suitors-Mr. Sanders,
we'll to do merchant; Mr.. Atwater,
an. attorney in good practice, and
George Carter, young fellow with
nothing in his pocket and no prospects.
The first two were elderly and unat-
tractive. Atwater was favored by
Ruth's. father, Sanders by her mother
! and Carter by Ruth herself.
II tell you, ma" said Mr.. Inwood to
his wife while he was shaving one
morning, Ruth is going to take At
| water. Did you notice last evening
that she paid attention to everything
he said, scarcely glancing at Sanders?"
"Pshaw, par replied the lady. Ruth
was using her left eye. That kept
her face turned toward Atwater. She
was really looking at Sanders"
Then followed the usual wrangle
whenever the parents got on this sub
ject.
! 1t so happened that Mr.. Atwater
and Mr.. Sanders made up their minds
to settle the matter between them on
the same evening, and it so happened
that Ruth had that day received
long admonition from her father as to
the folly of letting slip so desirable a
| sutton as his favorite and a similar
admonition from her mother as to the
object of her own choice. The poor
| girl was in state Of mind bordering
on insanity when the maid announced
Mr.. Sanders. Ruth went into the par
Tor intending to accept him and thus
put an end to the matter. Sanders,
who was plain business man, had
barely seated himself before he began
his proposal with a statement of his
affairs. He was coming to the point
when Mr.. Atwater stepped into the
room. Sanders, who suspected At
waters intention, set his jaws firmly
and was going right on when he dis
covered that the young lady was look
ing at his rival. Atwater, who had
caught the direction Of Ruth's other
eve, supposed she was looking at San
ders. The latter stopped speaking,
and the former maintained silence.
Ruth" said Sanders presently, sit
you will give me your attention for a
few moments longer will leave you
with Mr.. Atwater."
I'm listening" said Ruth.
"As ! was saying" Mr. Sanders
went on, there Is enough for com
fort. nothing for display"
Meanwhile Atwater had caught the
eye that was turned in his direction
and. supposing that Ruth was not at
tending to his rivals words, began to
speak.
Pardon me for intruding." he said.
