PR1zE COUPONS AND TICKETS.

It is an interesting business ques- tion as to how fast an article is made more attractive to the public, by in cluding with it some coupon or tick ct emitting the purchaser, when he gets enough of them, to some special premium.
 There appears to be a, growing busi ness sentiment against the practice The National Retail Hardware Asso- citation, which concluded last week its sessions at Boston, endorsed the socalled Austin bill, which will make the distribution of such coupons in interstate commerce unprofitable These hard headed hardware men seem to think a jackknife doesn't be- come bit more attractive by enclos- ing with it coupon representing a twentieth part of the value of a cheap colored photograph
 These coupons and tickets and since the great majority of them are thrown away. Some people start to save them. but long before they get the required number, they are buying some other line of goods, and the coupons they have saved are value less.
 SOf course there must be some de- mand for these coupons or the dealers would not include so many of them in their packages. No dohbt a good many are redeemed This means an added expense, to be charged up in the price of the article. The people who have no time to spend in keeping track of these coupons pay for prizes for other purchasers. The premiums commonly represent something that the purchasers of the goods would not ordinarily have boughti so that their total expense is wastefu1, and an addi- ton to the cost of living.
 The best recommendation for goods is to make the article just as good as possible, spending reasonable amount in publicity work to tell the public what the goods are. This wins more customers than coupons, prize tickets, stamps.

BE FAIR TO AUTO DRIVERS.

Even automobiles have rights, a1- though it isn't always possible to per suade pedestrians of that fact. And it appears that the worse offender against those rights are women. The mayor of Cleveland has announced his intention of making pedestrians, as well as automobile drivers, obey the street traffic regulations. Here are some safety rules given Cleveland wo- men--which men, too, may heed with profit.
 Don't start across the street reading a paper.
 Don't become so engrossed in con versation when crossing the street that you pay no attention to automobiles.
 Cross street only at the crossings 1t isn't fair to the drivers to cross any where else. And don't cut corners it confuses drivers.
 If you see that you are about to col lide with an automobile, stop in your tracks Then the driver will know what to do.-South Norwalk Sentinel.

GONDONE ASQUITH'S ADVICE TO / ALLIED INTERP ARL IAMENTARY
 ECONOMIC CONFERENCE. DEPUTIES
French Writers Consider Premier's Suggestion Well
 Given-Confcting Trade Relations of Canada, As Regards United States and England; One,of Problems ; for Adiusters to Consider Deeply.

"'F'ortunately,' said ian authority on economic questions concerning the work of the conference, f'the parlia- mentarians who have been discussin g these questions were absolutely with out official credentials; their discus sions were mere talk, and when the economic relations of the Allies be- tween themselves and with neutrals and the Central Empires are taken up seriously and officially, some, if not all, the uneasiness caused by the prop ositions of the previous conference, will be dissipated.
 .'In the talk of boycotting the Cen tral Empires, well-intentioned people have been. carried too far by their own zeal. France needs German coal; she needs the German market which, in spite of the treaty of Frankfort, took enough French goods to more than balance the coal bought by France up to 1900. France will not easily get coal on as good terms elsewhere and, what is more important, she will hard Iy be able to trade her own goods for it.
 tHThe proposal to engage in a war of tariffs has already produced one re- suit: it has furnished Germany with an additional argument to overcome the hesitation of Austria to enter the Central European Union."

With so many inconspicuous breed-

With so many inconspicuous breed ing places nearby, the old theory that
 m osquitoes are ''blown in from long distances,'' is more labor-saving than scientific. Until lately, human 1ndif- ference to backyard conditions and to nearby swamp areas has made special exertion on the mosquitoes part un- necessary Sanitation, like charity, begins at home. It may, however, very we'll learn lessons from abroad; and into northern exterInination work are introduced many features of the tropical ampaigns-what Le Prince calls the tattack by filling the tat tack by drainage and that by oil- ing.
 A letter from a southern nilltown says that before the anti-malarial mos quito work the company averaged 66 looms standing idle daily for lack of weaverss after, there was aound- ance of help. Before the campaign, twenty-six days of work produced 23S,04 pounds of cloth; after. 26 days work produced 316,S04 pounds.
 An interesting development in an. ti-mosquito work is the utilization or national enemies of the mosquito. In Havana, small surface-feedin fish were of great value in devourfng the larvae as they hung at the surface, breathing Tad-poles, dragon-fiies. spiders, bats, even certain night birds -al1 are enlisted in this battle.
 Until this spring Anopheles Macu- ipennis, or spotted-wing, has been held chiefly to blame for malaria. BuS since the opening of the year three investigators have found that another variety, the handsome A. puncupen- nis may also distribute that inter esting atom, the nalarial parasite

Institutional Cure
 May Be Given Women
 Who Keep Cops Busy

Some new method of dealing with habitua1 women drunkards may be recommended by officials at the county jail as a result of records kept for the last year. It has been found that continual offenders are given sen tences of 30 or 60 days and are gen orally arrested again as soon as re- leased. They are convicted five or six times year and it is a great. loss in tim eand money for the jail author itieS to furnish new outfits of clothes and get the women in sound physical condition after each conviction.
 It is felt that it would be wiser to send the women to some institution where they might be cured of the drink habit or else give them more substantial jail terms.

Tn 1754, a French scientific gentle man, M. Joblot, reported that he had seen in the water of a basin at St. Magloire, Paris, "a new kind of fish which might be called an aquatic cat erpil1ar.' M. JobIot might see his aquatic caterpillar in dozens could he study the electric-lighted glass tanks in some drug store windows in Man haitian or at the entrance to the New
 York Health Department today; for his new fish proved to be neither ex- clusively o1d-world specimens, nor limited to the eighteenth century. They were nothing more or less than mosquitoes in the 1arva stage

 Hanging Wrong End Up
 Their conditions are one means of Identifying them, it seems; for the larvae of the Culex mosquitoes live
 at the bottom of a pool where they can find the more substantial food they need for their growth small al- gae, debris of dead animals. Some
