THE damaged goods from the
burned Miller store building have
been packed and shipped to Chi
cago this week. The removal of the
goods from the city is of much help
to local merchants and precludes the
possibility of a slaughter sale ON
neCessaries at fire sale prices. The
whole stock was disposed of in a
lump sum to some wrecking firm
who will in turn dispose of them to
other firms. Considerable of the
stuff will probably find its way back
here as bargains offered by the cat.
houses and others. Keep your eyes
open. Some of the shirts coming
back on a cheap order will probably
have very necessary end of the
garment burned off. Don't kick
however as it will do you no good.
The selling firm will have the
money. Moral: Buy at home

THE ID. & |. r. excursion out OF
here and Winton Sunday morning
for the Fair at Hibbing was SHINY
patronized, only about two dozen
tickets being sold. While it might
be said that the Miner is talking
shop the fact remains that the ex-
CursiOn was not advertised. A few
dollars expended with the news
papers in the range towns would
have called attention to the train
and the benefits derived would have
been noticeable. There are dozens
of people here who would have
gone Sunday had they known of the
special. The loss sustained by the
company i'll running the train can
be charged directly to the short
sighted policy of the management.
1t clearly goes to show that people
will not but i'm where they are
not invited.

By a state law passed at the last
session of the Michigan legislature
semi-monthly pry days became et-
feCtiye in that state on Sept. l..
This is a step nearer the solution OF
the problem between the business
man in a mining town and the la
borer. 1t would be still better IT
there were weekly pay days.
Every small business pays its men
Saturday or Monday night. The
larger concerns could do the same.
There is no excuse for the forty
dav wait on the part of the mer-
chant or the laborer either, for that
matter. The large concerns in
European countries pay their help
once a week. A weekly pay day
would do away with the large num-
Der of book accounts carried by the
local merchant and cash would
be the circulating medium for
commodities instead of the
store book. This would let
down prices as it is a well known
fact that a man selling for cash can
do much better than those compel
led to carry large amounts on the
books. The laborer could also
spend his money to better advan-
tage if he knew exactly how much
he had to spend. The mining
companies make the claim that the
extra cost of making up the pay
envelope weekly would be some
thing enormous. The small con-
Germ does it with little help. The
large concern could do it with more
help.

Housework as Aid to Beauty.

Homework is either a very great
menace or an equal aid to health,
beauty and happiness.

she must, plainly shown in the
straight, hard line Of her mouth,
then housework isn't going to bring
her much benefit beyond cleanliness

the same interest in dusting the fur
niture, welding the broom, and pol
