One of the stock excuses of the man
who orders goods from a mail order
house Is that there are many things
that he wants that the local mer-
chants do not carry In stock, and that
lit Is necessary for him to send away
from town to get them.
This explanation may be all right
lon the theory that a poor excuse Ia
better than none, but 1t fails to pass
muster when 1t Is subjected to lit
tile scrutiny.
| Ask the man who offers this as an
excuse for his dealings VII. the mall
order man why he does not go to the
local merchant and ask him to order
the articles desired If they are not to
be found In the merchants stock. The
merchant will very gladly do this, and
the merchant and customer will both
profit. The merchant can sell you
whatever you desire at as low a price
as the mail order house can make you
on goods the same quality and he can
make small profit.
| The customer will profit from the
transaction, because he will be deal
ling with a merchant who stands back
of the goods that he sells, and who
lis easily accessible in case the arti-
cles purchased do not prove to be
Jail that the customer had expected
Give Home Merchant Preference.
Why not try this plan the next time
lyou need something which you cam
not find in any of your home stores?
The merchant in the average sized
town cannot carry in stock everything
that all of the people in his town may
want at all times. It would require
capital many times larger than the
leverage merchant can command to do
this, but he does the best he can.
He ordinarily does carry in stock at
lall times many things for which there
is no general demand, in order that he
may meet the needs of his customers
to the greatest possible degree, but
there is limit TO his purchasing abil-
Ilty. He is always ready and willing,
however, to make every effort to meet
the demands of the community. Why

not, then, give him the preference over
the far-distant mail order man if you
must have something which is not to
be found in the local stores? He
will do the business In a satisfactory
manner, give you as quick If not quick
er service and more satisfactory treat
ment, and the chances are that
money. Finally, whatever profit is to
be made off the transaction will stay
at home and do its bit toward making
the merchant and his town and, Incl.
dentally. yourself, more prosperous.
No business can be transacted as
satisfactorily at long range as it can
when the two parties to the transac-
tiof meet face to face. The only ex-
ception to this rule is in the case OF
the mail order man himself. who can
transact his business with greater sue.
cess to himself at long distance than
he could If he had to meet his Gus
toners face to face That Is the reason
that he does business by mail instead
of selling to the people in his own
city. If the goods which the mail or
der man advertises in his alIuring cat
alogues were the bargains that he rep
resents them to be, he would not have
to 20 outside of the confines of his
own city to sell all the goods he could
possibly obtain. But the average mail
order house not only does not make
any effort to sell goods In Its own city
but will not sell to anyone residing
within the city limits. The mail order
man does not want to meet his GUS
toners face to face. He can do bust.
ness better so far as he is concerned II
his customer Is some hundreds of miles
away from his Office
Does Business In Open.
The man who sells goods over the
counter, on the other hand, does bust
ness In the open. He cannot hide be
hind corporate name or talk to dis
pleased customer from behind the
locked doors of a private office. He
knows that he must face the music in
case he is party to any transaction
that won't stand the light of day. He
knows that he must satisfy every Gus
toner with whom re may be dealing
or he will lose not only that customer
but probably others who will soon
know all the facts T. he does not do the
square thing by any one of his
patrons.
There is no reason In the world fol-
any person to send his money to q
mail order house because he cannot
find the article he wants In his local
store. The local merchant is IN bust
ness for the very purpose of getting
you what you want. He has the infor.
nation that will enable him to get
what you want and to get 1t as quick.
ly as you could get it from mail or.
der house. 1t is only fair to him ia
give him the chance to make such
profit as any dealer would make Off the
transaction and it is only fair to your.
self to keep that profit at home rather
than to send 1t away to some far dis
tant city from which 1t will never re-
turn.

In the Time Of Trial

fore his dinner; sometimes he liked
one after his dinner. He was first

liquors.
Perhaps that was why he looked with
private disfavor upon the products Of
a little one-horse distillery which pres
emily started up in the vicinity. These
products were more famous for fire
and potency than for purity or mellow
ness. / heard seasoned imbiber say

With All Good Wishes

The colonel Of one of our negro
regiments serving in France during
the World war impressed it upon the
rank and file of his command that in
the field soldier addressing his SUI
perior officer invariably should have
regard for correct military procedure
and, as nearly as might be, for correct
military language. The lesson must
have gone home,, because now among
the treasured possessions Of that
colonel is certain document sent by
runner from forward trench to COM
pany headquarters back of the Sec
ond line of defense.
On scrap Of paper, with stub Of
pencil, the author of the communica-
ton, much-harried black corporal
then undergoing his baptism of she'll
ing, wrote as follows:

Surah, Taffeta and Satin in

Are In Vogue.

1nere has been perceptiDle slack

me and not greatly changed detalis'
FASHION received its essential vari-
alton through numerous new ma
terlals, and now that new silhouette
and ornate details have entered the
mode there is less need for elaborate
fabrics-and consequently fewer new
materials.
Printed crepes de chine, marocain'
georgette, chiffon and alpaca are very
popular In Paris this spring. Inc
designs are smaller than last year,
though some large flower patterns are
promised for the mid-seasOn summer
corrections. Spots are very much In

very prominent. especially the flower

ground which are arranged in squares.
Surah and taffeta are two materials
that have emerged from long stay
on the shelf. Both are charmingly
novel to the young. and awaken de-
lightful memories of past triumphs in
the minds of those whose youth is
fast becoming a dim recollection. For
the smart silk tailormade for town
wear both are incomparably smart.
Painted materials are new and are

The rance of Pudukkottai is the ar
bitter Of the craze for mannish coats
now sweeping the Riviera and Paris.
A coat worn by the Rance of Puduk
kottai recently at Cannes was designed
by one of the most famous mems
taiIors in London.
A great many smart American and
French women who set the styles In
French capitals are sending to Lon
don to have the new mannish coat
made according to mems fashion.
The colors most in favor appear to
be the natural beige, the tans and the
siIvers, and the materials are Scotch
overcoatings in homespuns and check
backs, and coverts and gabardines.
The coat worn by the rance and
which created something of a Juror on
the Riviera was double-breasted
three-button (two to button) coat with
mannish lapeis and pockets. The tnbe
effect OF the coat was maintained by
emitting the vent in the back.
Another similar model has two but
tons and is ventless, but has welt
pockets instead Of flaps.

be very easily mistaken for erysipelas.
Eczema may occur on any portion
Of the body, or it may involve every
inch Of the skin and the treatment
Of such cases is very difficult
In treating it the cause must be
found and removed if possible, mois-
ture and air must usually be excluded
from it and it must be protected by
ointments, busting powders and ban
dages, but seldom by lotions and wa
terry fluids.
The bowels must be kept open and
when the eruption has healed, hot,
cold, or carbonic acid baths may be
used. Acid fruits, shell-fish, tomatoes
and any other food that is Irritating
must be omitted, also alcohol and to-
bacco.
Good busting powders are tale, dry
wheat flour, bismuth or zinc. Tar,
zinc or lead are often used in ONT
ments for eczema; and tonics, includ-
ing iron. quinine, strychnia, arsenic,
and cod-liver oil are frequently Of
service. Exercise must be regulated
and the general condition improved.

NINA

THOUGH Nina has typically
= French sound, the name is regard
ed as English. However, it came to
us through the French by a lengthy
process of evolution. The Hebrew
Chanaach was it's earliest source and
from this word it derived it's signifi-
canoe of grace"
Through the English Hannah, it
came to France as Anne and was soon
given the diminutive, Annette. AS
Nanette, it appeared simultaneously,
but the French love of variety
changed the latter form to Nanon and
finally Ninon.
The beauty and fame of Ninon de
PEnclos, superwoman and court
"vamp'' in the reign of Louis XIV,
spread her name affair. 1t became al
most a synonym for charmer and the
maids of several countries coveted it.
But Ninon is too Gallo for English
ears, so, in its transportation across
the channel, the ending underwent a
change and Nina was the final result.
1t has enjoyed extraordinary vogue in
this country.
The diamond is Nina's talismanic
gem. 1t is the emblem of feariessness
and invincibility and promises its
wearer success in all undertakings
and freedom from misgivings. Ac-
cording to an old superstition, it en-
hances the love of a husband for his
wife. Sunday is Nina's lucky day and
8 her LUCKY number.

Knot in Boundary Line

The northern boundary of Mime
sofa was settled by the treaty of
Client terminating the War of 1872.
BY it the Lake of the Woods was to
be the northern boundary. At the
time it was supposed that there were
many rivers flowing from the lake
eastward, and the United States was
to have the land drained by them.
When the actual survey was made 1t
was found that there were no rivers
flowing eastward, and so because of
the intention and after many surveys
had been made and commission APP
pointed to settle the matter, the small
piece of land called the Northern pc
ninsula was ceded to the United States
in 1873 and the question finally settled
by the United States and England in
1877.
