BUY IN NEW ORLEANS.

The display of "Mino"-"Made in
New Orleans" goods during the past
buyers week showed that the amount
reaches $78,OOO,OOO a year, giving pro-
fitable employment to more than 49,
900 workmen Almost everything from
a toothpick to a threshing machine is
made in New Orleans.
Then why not Bino-buy in New
Orleans?
1t should be matter of state pride
for all buying at retail to make every
possible purchase in New Orleans that
cannot be made in their home town.
Similarly, the merchants in Louisiana
should buy in New Orleans, all things
being anything nearly like equal.
On the other hand, New Orleans
should make sure that she can make
good with the price as we'll as the
quality Of her goods. New Orleans
must learn greater promptness, less
leisurely, laissez faire spirit. The old
order changeth 1t is high time to
change. New Orleans is beginning to
realize the alertness and the great ca.
pability of its competitors. 1t is fully
able to hold its own-and get more-ii
it will exercise its great resources and
ability TO the full

THE TOWNS REPRESENTATIVE,

Have you ever thought how tho
roughly representative a newspaper is
Of its home town?
A newspaper is the only home insti-
tuition that travels around to distant
cities. Buildings and streets cannot
be seen unless one visits place. The
newspaper goes as far as the mails.
The home newspaper furnishes a
means by which distant people gain
an idea of the place where it is pub.
lished. If a newspaper is newsy and
clean geographically, and has liberal
advertising, every man from Los An.
geles to the Atlantic who sees it gets
an idea that the town is alive.
People have no idea how newspapers
circulate away from their home town,
says the Meriden Conn., Journal. Ev.
cry publisher has considerable list of
subscribers who formerly lived where
it was published, or are interested in
the place for business reasons. And
people send away many papers.
If you want your town to cut good
figure before the world, subscribe to
the home paper, and advertise as much
as your business will fairly warrant.

TAKING INVENTORY OF ONES
SELF.

Do you ever take stock Of your &C
cumulations along the line of faults and
foibles? 1t is a good thing to do. 1t is
a custom among merchants to take an
inventory of stock at certain times dur
ing the year, by which they find out
exactly how much salable and unsala-
BILE commodities they have on hand.
These are ticketed and docketed and
put in their proper places, some to be
sold at reduced prices, and others to
be cast into the dustheap, maybe.
Why not every woman take an inven-
tory of her faults and virtues? 1t may
be she will find some of the former fit
only for the dustbin also.
Faults have fatal habit Of growing
on one, unless the individual make Of
ten a very searching examination OF
conscience and even at that, 1t is
amazing sometimes to the near-good to
note how many faults a really piOus
person can possess and still be can
didate for the kingdom of heaven. Lit
tie faults, of course, but little things,
as every one knows, are the irritations
of life, and wear one far more than
real troubles. 1t is well to keep a
sharp lookout for the little failings, the
small faults, and to correct them, or
better, eliminate them, before they
have chance to grow.
Nothing is better for the correction
of ones faults than the possession of a
keen sense of humor. 1t is indeed a
saving grace that shows US by that
sudden insight which only such people
possess the point where foible ends
and a fault begins.

Commissioner of Agriculture e. o.
Bruner issues from jail yolum.nous
circular letter, in defense of his recent
course as regards DR.. Dodson. He
says he has kept silent thus long out
of Difference to the wishes and judg-
ment of his friends. This document
assuredly confirms their good judg-
ment, for no weaker screed was ever
published. Condensed, it contains but
the bare statement that Mr.. Bruner
listened, not wisely but too well, to
statements that could not be safely re-
peated in courtroom. But this does
not excuse Mr.. Burners repeating such
statements as if they were of his own
knowledge, SO convincingly, as, almost
to persuade others that he knew what
he was talking about.
His protestation that he made the
plea of guilty after his first witness
was heard, out of desire to do DR..
Dodson no further injustice, would
carry more weight, were it not so OBJ
vious that in view of the other counts
pending in the suit, is was the part
of wisdom for him to call for quarter

CORRECT SITTING.

In the good old days lady would no
more have thought of sitting with her
elbows on a table or of crossing her
legs than she would of eating with her
knife. At present such actions are so
common they pass almost unnoticed.
If good form will not prevent such
habits vanity and a regard for health
should. Natures laws are more per-
emptory than those of society and
more swiftly punished.
The girl who leans habitually on her
elbows soon ruins them. The skin
roughens and reddens, eventually be-
comes callous. Worse yet the pressure
of the body on the elbow stops the cir
culation and reddens the skin of the
entire arm. Even more dangerous is
the habit common to men and women
alike of sitting with one leg swung
over the knee of the other. The pres
sure comes at sensitive part of the
leg and knee, a spot where there are
a number of large veins, arteries and
nerves. The pressure stops circula-
ton, crowds the tissues together and
produces various ills. Many woman
who suffers from headache or numb
ness will find it relieved if she will
cease to sit with her legs crossed. The
habit long continued produces vari-
cose veins, red nose, bruised spots
and other ills attendant on impaired
circulation.

WOMEN AS KILLERS OF MEN.

An able exchange, Florida Parishes,
has an article on the Grinding of the
Murder Mill in Louisiana" from the
viewpoint of women as the bloody mil.
lers. It is timely call to attention on
this subject, for every day the evil
grows greater. The tendency of wo-
wen to STAY their recreant husbands or
lovers is too much INDUCED. The I'M
written law is worn threadbare. 1t
cannot cover the enormities perpe.
trated in its name.
The immunity that Is allowed wo-
men under this plea has been grossly
misused. 1t is not the pure young girl
that takes into her own hands ven.
geance for her wrongs, but it is a wo-
man already fallen, or one whose
breast is fired with the passions of
hate and jealousy, one who does not
pause to ask If there be redress for
her in the courts, but secure in the
protection of the unwritten law, pre-.
fers to give for herself the fatal stroke.
And so long as there is clause in
the unwritten law that no woman shall
hang in Louisiana, so long will the
murder mill grind on. And each vic
tim of her vengeful prowess, whose
death is UNPUBLISHED by law, feeds the
mill and also feeds lust for blood
felt by debased women.

THE FAILURE OF EUeENIcs.

N. o. States:
1t is not surprising to hear that the
new law requiring applicants for a
marriage license to answer questions
bearing on their "eugenic" qualifica-
tons is not working we'll in Pennsyl-
vania. Numerous applicants, finding
themselves required to undergo an ex-
animation which they deem humiliat-
| ing, refuse to answer the questions
and arrange to secure a license in an
other State where the eugenic fad has
mot found favor.
But it is not only persons contem-
plating matrimony who object to the
new law. At the International Medical
Congress in London one of the dele
gates. who enjoys high reputation as
an authority in his profession, con-
demned the eugenics idea as serious

in opposition to his criticism.

FARMING INSURANCE.

Anyone can pass as a good farmer

proof comes out as to a mans ability
as farmer. Recently the Editor was

developed the fact that this particular
farmer had good stand and, notwith.
standing extremely dry weather, con-
fidently expressed the idea that. he
needed no rain On his crops, although
all his neighbors were complaining of
poor stands because of dry weather.

the best insurance against injury from

ventive against getting in the grass"
