Get Trade by Advertising.

The best way in which the merchants
In the towns and smaller cities can
fight the mail order houses is to adver-
tise. They know most of their patrons
personally, can show them the goods
before they buy them, have many 9TH
er advantages over the mail order
house and in almost every instance can
sell just as cheap. If not cheaper. re-
marks the Buckeye (o) Informer.
IL the home merchant lacks foresight
and is too penurious to properly adver-
tise his goods. why should the publish
er exert himself to keep the trade at
home for him? II solicitations on the
part Of the publisher fail to educate
the merchant to the fact that he must
advertise If he wants to keep up with
the procession, then nothing is left to
the merchant but to learn in the school
of experience. and If the teachings Of
that renowned school are Of no effect
on him then there is no place for him,
and eventually his place in the COM
mercial world will be taken up by
some more enterprising competitor.

HOME TRADE ADVICE.

Every man who spends 81 around
home where only a dollar was spent
before Is a benefactor to his race.
Plenty of men who froth at the mouth
when they discuss the Capitalization of
government are fostering the c~entrali-
zation Of trade by patronizing the big
mail order houses which try to gobble
up the business Of local merchants.
One way to stand by your town is
not to sit down and write orders for
goods to be shipped from the city when
you can buy them to just as much ad-
vantage right at home.
A town with no business has no busi-
ness to be a town, and 1t won't be a
town very long after its business is
eliminated by too much dallying on
the part of its citizens with the mail
order business.
The citizen who patronizes home in
dustries without seeking an excuse is
the sparkle in the wine Of life, while
the one who prefers to spend his mon
ey outside of his own community Is the
dregs.

STORY OF THE SHAMROCK.
How Sc. Patrick Used II to Convince a
Doubtino Kinq.

'''
One of the most interesting episodes
in st. Patrick's life is the story about
the origin Of the shamrock. When
the saint came to Tara, which was the
seat Of government and the residence
Of the ard-righ, or high king, he found
the monarch and his chiefs assembled
In council in the open air.
He was permitted to explain the
doctrines of the Christian religion to
the assembly. but he found it impos-
sible to convey a proper idea of the
mystery of the Trinity. Suddenly,
looking on the ground, he beheld a
small plant with a triple leaf, which
he plucked from the roots and held ii
to the gaze of the monarch and his
courtiers. Here were the leaves on one
stem. The king was satisfied. and be
and all his court accepted the tenets
Of Christianity.
The shamrock is found only In Ire
land. 1t is a species of grass, and,
though Scotland Is only twenty-five
miles away and England about fifty, II
has never been found in either Of these
countries.

EAT WITH YOUR FINGERS.
This Is Suggested by London Doctors
a. Cure For I~ndiaestion.

MS Is Ou99cSto0 " GShdVh
as Cure For Indigestion.
Devour your food like a lion" and
you Danish indigestion. This advice
which c~ontroverts the well known
maxim Of "eat your food slowly Is
the considered opinion of three doctors
as the best cure for inability to eat a
square meal.
Such an unorthodox mode Of dealing
with dyspepsia was first suggested by
a doctor in a spirit of frolic, but on
talking the matter over with a Harley
street specialist and also a family doc
tor with a large London practice II
was found that the doctors scout the
suggestion that there is anything fun
ny in IL at all. says the London CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Times.
ut is the most extraordinary thing
the specialist said. but l find that the
patient who is allowed to eat chicken
by picking 1t up with his fingers is
far better able to digest his food than
is the invalid who is worried by a knife
and fork.
"a great deal of decorous formality
in eating makes for bad digestion.
Eat with the fingers like a healthy
savage and you will digest your food
like the savage-at any rate, for a time,
until the novelty has worn off.
Probably after the novelty wears
off the good effect will not be so mark
ed, but to return to dainty feeding
would then have the same effect as the
other method had.
The more like an animal you eat the
more like an animal will your alimen-
