WAGE REVISION AIDS.

"The widespread movement toward
downward revisions of wages. oil.
though tending to lessen the general
buying power. is an influence making
for lower prices to consumers, and
the public response to the special Of
ferings Of goods in retail channels
has become more satisfactory. The
disposition now is to view the out
look with optimism and to stress the
encouraging phases. This marks
reversal Of the recent attitude Of
many interests, and the more hopeful
sentiment, supported by various ele
ments Of strength. Is a favorable
augury."
Bradstreet's says:
1.-THE Improvement noted last week
has broadened and deepened-broad
ened to the extent that more lerge
cities report the Improvement no
longer confined merely to sentiment:
deepened to the extent that Gotten
and silk goods show gains in sales
and prices, while wooden and knit
goods have apparently followed the
example of the other textiles and are
shaping better than at any time since
last spring.
ut must be confessed that the en-
largement of demand Is mainly in the
apparel trades and most marked In
the first named, but more cities con-
tribute this week than last to the
cheerful reports, and II is becoming
Increasingly felt that the corner has
been turned in trades which have been
without much movement for some
time past. Full recognition must also
be given of the fact that the better
tone OF things in the speculative
mark grain, and cotton
has aided the Improvement.
Briefly stated, there Is more doing
at Wholesale, most OF 1t still Of small
lot. immediate-delivery character; re-
tail trade. affected by mild weather,
which retards sales of heavyweight
clothing, is without much change, ex-
cept where, as in some wider scpara-
ted markets. most of them at the
West, by the way, cuts in prices have
been so deep as to command attention
and buying, which Is about fair Manu-
featuring Is little more active and
collections are hardly better than

Prolific Olive Trees.

There are few trees that bear edi-
Bile fruit which are good for more than
half century. the olive tree standing
alone with its long period Of useful
ness to mankind. Some Of these trees
are extremely long lived. There are
some In Syria which are known to be
more than 400 years old; and not only
are they in q flourishing condition,
but they bid fair to bear fruit for an
other century or two. Formerly the
olive trees were not expected to pro-
duce fruit oftener than once in three
years, but with improved methods OF
culture they now bear abundantly
each season. In ancient times the
olives were thrashed from the trees
with sticks, but now the Syrians pick
them by hand, thereby preserving
their trees and also improving the
quality of the fruit

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged are Unwarranted-Makes
His Own Hog Food, With
Better Results

THAT he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some Of the
lbest hogs ever placed on the market"
was the statement made recently by
E. II. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog feeds and hog REM
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explain-
in that he takes about five pounds OF
ordinary mineraline (Which is pure
concentrated minerals and cost only a
couple of dollars) and mixes same with
enough bran or filler to make hun
dred pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sows require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in the
pink of condition, and are essential to
the hogs growth and a we'll balanced
ration. This inexpensive mixture
placed in a sheltered box where the
hogs can get it as they need it, will
produce far better results than any
high priced so-called stock foods.
Send two dollars to the Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1858 North Wells ST.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
GU by prepaid parcel post, enough
meineraline to make full hundred
pounds. (Ady.)
