GOOD REASONS WHY THEY DE-
SERVE YOUR SUPPORT.

self.

in as good condition and short time
| as if It had been ordered from a cata-
logue house. The home merchant's
biulnuss must be kept up and In order
to do this It Is absolutely necessary
thai the people at home patronize
I him and help hlni keep up with the
j times, or else he will soon be out of
I the struggle for existence among the
| country people.
I The home merchant should not be
expected to pay tin' highest price fot

j articles when he wants anything in
i the merchant's line He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
1 tanner Intends buying, lie should be
seen and arrangements made for the
! purchase of the article, if he does not
curry It In stock.
The home merchant advertises or
I should advertise, in the home paper.
| This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The
people lake the home paper because
it gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements of the merchants are
read by them. If the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can-
not afford to advertise, and without
! advertising a paper will soon prove a
I failure. Soon the homo paper Is sent
' to the wall for the want or support
| from the merchants; it may have a
; large circulation, but without the mer-
j chant s help It will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant is next to
, get out of business for the want of
j support, and the town will decrease in
i population, and the people will won-
i der what the trouble is when the
editor and the merchant leave town

The home merchant contributes to
1 the support of the church, he pays
| his taxes to keep the schools up. he
I contributes to the horse show, the fall
i festival, and the hundred and one

for the good of the community and he

SIMPLE MIXTURE THAT IS SAID
TO BREAK A COLD QUICKLY.
(copyright. by Alfred C. Clark.1
The above head Is a subject that
<-*n well be treated as open for din
t-usalon and consideration i any and
all times. It is also a subject that
should Interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare of the community
in which he lives and who wishes to
see it grow and prosper.
N'o person can afford to do what he
Vtnows will work an Injury to the com-
munity In which he lives. In justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port to the home Industries that are
striving for existence and tin- welfare
of the town in which he goes to do his
trading.
In considering this question It
should be home In mind that the conn
try people, like all other American
citizens, are always on the lookout for
■a place to Invest their money that
■will bring them the biggest returns
for Ihe least expenditure; In Ibis they
are right and are justified in so doing,
tout, al the same time they should re-
member that they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
the> send to foreign markets
If they should slop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated,
and look Into, and know, the true con
■lltlon of affairs, probably they would
reconsider the Hland they had taken
toward them. In many cases the peo-
ple are Ignorant of the true surround-
ings and insldo operations of these
concerns and think they are doing
right In sending them their money.
They are led to believe that what they
get from the catalogue house Is the
same article that the homo merchant
sells, only at a much lower price The
majority of the people do not know
thai they are buying the cheapest
article that can bo manufactured and

Going to Get.
that they are in reality paying more I
for an inferior grade of goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them a Tew cents
more
Since the catalogue house has j
.sprung Into the commercial world and j
begun operations in the United Slates, i
all kinds of schemes have been tried
and worked to gel the money from j
the people that are always looking for j
bargains N'o expense has been spared
In their struggle for the almighty dol
lar of the country people, and tliej
have been so far successful, at the
great expense of Ihe home town "f the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magaxintis have been started for
the sole benefit of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or la cents a year.
They build up a circulation on this
low price of hundreds of thousands;
llils circulation brings to them mil-
lions of dollars in advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended lor advertising Is more than
doubled from the sales of these con-
cerns to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came is the cheapest place in the
country to buy, and It is, If the person
receiving this < at:.logue wanls a cheap
article, not only iu price, but also in
make and material The farmer re
ceives ih i> catalogue, looks It over.
111(1 after readlm: the well composed
guaiantec or assurance that lite goods
described In it are the very best that
■ ■an be found anywhere, sends in an
order. The house receives the order
and Immediately ships the articles
wanted. The farmer drives many
nilles to eel them and when the box is
opened II Is found to contain some
ihing much below Ills expectations,
but this doe not satisfy his mind on
the fart that he has been duped and
that he Is not getting his full money
value. In a second order he may be
treated the same as the fir I one, bill
^tUl he may think that he has saved
money by buying it where he could
get it cheap.
At the same time the merchant at
home has tin goods on the shelf in
Ills Stoic waiting for them to be tal.cn
away so lhat he can replace them with
newer goods, thereby keeping Ills
stock fresh and up-to-date. If lie has
not the article wanted h« can order it
falls, and lie is ever on ihe go looking
to tlie interests of the people.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer-
chants of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support of the people and it is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for a livelihood, when the peo-
ple send their money to a concern in
some far away city thai will neither
contribute to any of these enterprises
or take an Interest In the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indus
tries, brings more to the town and
keeps them there, and il hel[ i to build
up the place. Hut the town will he at
a stand-still so long as the people pet
slst In this way of robbing the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
If the people will keep their money
at home there will be no need for
complaint The place will assume a
lively air, it will take on a metropoli-
tan look, and the people will say to
their neighbor that business is good,
and it will be, as long as the people
! continue to trade in the home mar
i kets. The least thai a person can do
toward the betterment of the com
I munity and his own Interests, is to
keep Ihe money at home anil see to it
i that It is put where it Is most needed
and wanted
This should be a viial question to
all concerned in the welfare of his
community and it should be an estab-
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in oilier parts that he can
: set al home.

Origin of "Helpmeet."
Helpmeet ' has.had a curious his-
tory which began with the biblical
account of the creation, when "the
I .ord God said. It Is not good that
I the man should be alone; 1 will make
! him an help meet for him." That Is
to say, a III assistant Hut the two
words hove become curiously combin-
ed Into a helpmeet." and they aro
constantly used as one. Moreover,
the confusion Is Increased by the cor-
ruption of the words into help-mute."

woman who was "generally consider

"I lake great pleasure in informing

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEHDLE3.
Tfc* Evolved Product of Centuries of
I nvention.
The point of a needle is a very Im-
portant part of that useful little in-
strument, and tlsere are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con-
sumption of needles all over the world
is something like 3,000,000, while
every year the women of the United
St&tes break, lose and use some 300,-
000.000 of those tiny tools. Few peo-
ple while threading a needle have
ever given a thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before it comes out a
needle. Yet the manufacture of
needles includes some 21 different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes to separating the two needles on
the one length of wire, heading, hard-
ening in oil, cleaning out the sides of
the eye. point setting, and final pol-
ishing. For wrapping purple paper is
used, since it prevents rusting. There
aro many sorts of needles, for sur-
geons', cooks', glovemakers', weavers',
sailmakers', broommakers', milliners'
and dressmakers' use. The needle is
the evolved product of centuries of
invention. In its primitive form it
was made of bone, ivory, or wood.
Point by point, its manufacture has
improved, until this little but not in-
significant instrument is now one of
the highly finished products of twen-
tieth century machinery and skill.—

Four rooms downstairs and Ave
rooms upstairs are worked into this
design, which has a width of 28 feet
six inches and a length of 41 feet six
inches, exclusive of the porch. Some
families require live bedrooms, some-
thing that is difficult to provide In a
medium sized house without squeezing
them so small that you haven't room
for a set of furniture or space enough
for necessary ventilation.
In this plan there n.e two stairways,
one going up from the front hall and
the other from the kitchen. Under the
front stair is a good sized closet to
keep overcoats, rugs and a good many
things that are not in regular use all
the time, a great convenience, as every
housekeeper will testify. A closet like
this does away with the necessity Tor a
hall hat rack, a piece of furniture that
should have been discarded a good
many years ago. It usually is unsight-
ly because of the way it is generally
cluttered up with an unnecessary as-
sortment of wearing apparel. The
other stairway is a combination which
reaches from the cellar to the upper
bedrooms.
The grade door at the side of the
house makes a handy outside entrance
to the cellar, a convenience that Is
very much appreciated, especially
where a good garden supplies I mil and
vegetables for the family. A grade en-
trance to the cellar saves a great deal
of tramping through the kitchen, very
often on wet days when considerable
soil from the garden adheres to one's
There is a passageway in this plan
lhat communicates directly between
the "front hall door and Ihe kitchen,
but it is provided with two doors
which prevent the cooking odors from
the kitchen from jienetrating th^ main
part of the house. There are times
when a connection of this kind is very
convenient. In Canada most of the
houses have direct communication
through from the front hall hack to

A FRIEND'S TIP.
70-Year-Oid Man Not too Old to Accept
a Food Pointer.
"For the last 20 years." writes a
Maine man, "I've been troubled with
Dyspepsia and liver complaint, and
have tried about every known remedy
without much in the way of results
until I took up the food question.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
food, after I had taken all sorts of
medicines with only occasional, tem-
porary relief.
This was about nine months ago,
and I began the Grape-Nuts for break-
fast with cream and a little sugar.
Since then I have had the food for at
least one meal a day, usually for
breakfast.
"Words fail to express the benefit I
received from the use of Grape-Nuts.
My stomach Is almost entirely free
from pain and my liver complaint Is
about cured, 1 have gained flesh, sleep

except greasy, starchy things and am

There is only one chimney neces-
jary in this house, but that is a good

old-fashioned parlor to drop entirely
out of use. Krery housekeeper likes
to have one room that may be fixed
up as nicely as possible, where they
can shut the door to keep Ihe children
out if they want to and have it in good
order for state occasions. In such
houses the sitting room becomes

well lighted, as in this case, and it is

sitting-room is I", by t5 feet, which is
! Iiig enough to accommodate a nmnbet
j of comfortable easy chairs and a tabli
j for a reading lamp with a shell under-
neath to hold papers and magazines.
| Instead of the old-fashioned couch,
ihe sitting-room should lie furnished
with window seals upholstered to tit
the place. There are all kinds of win-
dow seats; some are broad and com-
fortable, while others are narrow and
look stingy. Some are liberally sup
plied with thick, comfortable looking
pillows, while others have one or two
skimpy little things that have been
used by the children for playthings
until clean covers would seem abso-
lutely necessary, but such little details
fall to the housekeeper and there are
all kinds.
Some women will make a very com-
mon room attractive nnd pleasant,
while others will s|H)il the best house
you can put them in. Generally speak-
ing. however, American women are
quick to see the possibilities of ilx-
ing up a good house to make it com-
fortable and attractive. The first
requisite is to select the proper plan,
then to watcli Ihe building operations
to see lhat all the details are properly
worked up to make each room right
when finished. A great deal of good ;
building material has been wasted by i
not securing a good plan to start with
and also by leaving the details to men
who have no personal interest in the
house when finished.
Pure White Lead
is the Natural
Paint Pigment
Numerous
compou nds
are being
offered to take
the place of
white lead as
a paint, but no
real substitute
for it has yet
been found.
Pure White
Lead has a
p e c u 1 i a r
property of
amalgamating
with the wood
upon which it is used—added to this
it has an elasticity which permits the
paint to follow the natural expansion
and contraction of the wood. Pure
White Lead (with its full natural te-
nacity and elasticity, unimpaired by
adulterants), alone fulfills all the re-
quirements of the ideal paint. Every
keg which bears the Dutch Boy trade
mark is positively guaranteed to be ab-
solutely Pure
White Lead
made by the Old
Dutch l'rocess.
