SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM “PLAY BALL.” Soon the umpire will call out in stentorian tones, “‘Play Ball!” The fans will sit up and begin to “root,” and the cheery crack of the bat will resound over the diamond. Are you in the game? Get your name on the tally sheet if you expect to get into the average column. The successful merchant, like the successful ball player, should be in training right now. He must be able to field, to run bases and to judge balls. He must be in the game from start to finish; boosting, coaching and hustling. The first step in training for this season is to develop the muscles of the arm in writing ads, and 1n running bases from his place of business to the printing office. A good throwing arm may be develop- ed in throwing out stickers and shelf-warmers. To acquire a good batting eye and judgment of balls, look at your stock every day. To geta good average and stand high among the other players you must develop coaching customers and team work with your fellow dealers in merchandise Are you “in the game,” Mr. Mer- chant? CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G, Rutledge.] It is said that Chicago milk makes bow-legs. This makes it appear a thousand times worse than common, every-day “tanglefoot.” Interest in the condition of the farmers may lead to some arranze-! ment by which this year’s crop of summer boarders will be less homesick. Perhaps the inventor of that] won’t-tip-over air ship has been studying the principal on which the humble house cat always lands right side up. Professor Lowell’s prophecy that a dark comet may bump into the sun and cause the end of the world comes too late to impress the women folks that it may not be worth while to invest in spring bonnets. A New York woman is suing for divorce upon the ground that mar- riage isa slavery. The demand for shackles, however, is expected to keep right on. GCPPER PRODUCTION MAY BE REGULATED Steel Trust Magnate Suggests Plan of Organization, New York, May 1.—Copper men to the number of a score and a half or more, representing some of the mose prominent production and con- suming interests in the country, re- cently partook of a dinner at the end of which they received an impressive idea. The host was an officer of the Unit- ed States Steel corporation and the keynote of the “idea” seemed to be that there should be an amalgama- tion of copper properties on the lines of the United States Steel corpora- tion. In the general discussion that has followed it has developed that the most serious obstacle to be overcome, apart from any of a legal or political nature, would be the unwillingness of certain of the Boston copper proper- ties. A man in touch with the gen- bject would be to reg- A WOMAN’S APPEAL To all knowlng sufferers of rhenmatism, wheth- er muscular or of the joints, sciatica, lumbagos, bickache, pains in fhe kidneys or neuraigin palus, to write to her for a home treatment ich has repeatedly cured all of thesé tortures, Is it her duty to send it to all sufferers u cure yourself at home as thousands n0 change of climate being neces- imple discovery banishes urie acid 0od, loosens the ‘stiffened jol ifies the blood, and brightens the elasticity and tone to the whole above interests you, for proof ad Mrs. M.

It puts into effect, after March 31, 1910, a maximum provision for an additional 25 per cent ad va- lorem on all of the rates of the sen- ate bill and then gives'to the presi- dent the power to apply the minimum rates to any country or sectlon of a country by proclamation. It provides for a duty of 5 cents on coffee and 10 cents on tea imported from countries to which the maximum rates are applied. The section also gives the president the power to em- ploy a tariff commission for the pur- pose of gathering information only. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronovnced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pro- nounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J, Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohlo, is the only con- stitutsonal cure in the market. It ts taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea- spoonful, Tt acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any_case it fails to| cure.

They assert.that orange juices are highly efficacious as an aid to digestion, and this opin- ion is confirmed by the reports of the California Orange Growers, which show an increasing demand for the rich, juicy, full-flavored oranges of that state.—The American Optimist.

The best quality of oranges were invariably eaten and the results were uniformly benefic- ial. This was quite apparent in their improved complexions. Some of them said that in addition to eating oranges they had made it a practice to squeeze the juice of a lemon into a tumbler of water and drink the first thing in the morning.
