In the twenty-first round as Johnson’s smile began to wane so did the white wife’s. She had thought that as the wife of the champion she was a great center, but now realized that as the wife of just a black man she would be octracized. At the end of the twentieth round Johnson called the promoter and asked that his wife be taker from the arena. “I don’t want her to see me knocked out,” was his comment. ROBINSON TELLS WHY RETAIL STORES ARE NECESSARY (Continued from Fage 1.3 and in the business of every mer- chant in our town—a good little town, too! It took thousands of dol- lars out of our town every year. Did you ever see a bright, sturdy prom- ising stand of corn after it had been hit by a series of hot winds that sometimes sweep over Kansas? That’s about what happened to our town. It hasn’t any color or juice left in it. The money has gone out to mail order houses year after year. “ ‘The other day Mrs. Bright came into my store and made a few pur- chases— a gentle, gray little woman who ‘would not knowingly hurt a living creature. She hasn’t the re- motest idea that she ever injured me, or any other merchant in the streets of our town. She's a widow now, and though she has three sons she lives alone on the farm, which is worked under her direction by a hired man. Wanted Jimmy Back. ““‘I saw something that was troub- ling Mrs. Bright, and so I gave her an opportunity to ease her mind. She mentioned the fact that all her boys had gone up to the city and confessed that they did not write home as often as she wished; but her chief concern was for Jimmy, with whom I was best acquainted. When I went up to do my buying she wanted me to have a talk with him and pursuade him to come back home and open up a drug store, just as he had planned to do when he went away to study pharmacy. It would not be nearly so lonely if he would come back to the oM town. “‘Well, 1 called on Jimmy in the PUT SULPHUR ON AN ITCHING SKIN AND END ECZEMA Says this old-time Eczema rem- edy is applied like cold cream. Any irritation or breaking out on the face, arms, legs or body when accom- panied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be readily over- come by applying o little bold-sulphur, says a noted dermatologist. He states that bold-sulphur instantiy allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Kezema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a secure posi. tion for many years in the treatment of cutancous” disorders because of its parasite-dostroying property. Nothing has ever been found to take its place in treating the irritable and inflam- matory skin affections. While not al. ways establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tation and drive the Fezeme. awny and it is often years later before any erup- tion again appears on the skin. Those troubled should obtain at any drug store an_ounce of bold-sulphur, which is applied to the affected parts in the same mauner as an ordinary cold eream.

P. cyl- Some time ago I had an attack of grippe which finally settled in my kidneys, and bladder. I doctored with .the doctors and they claimed | I-had dropsy. I tried other reme-| dies and got no relief from any of them. My condition was such that I was unable to work for about two months and the annoying symptoms caused me a great deal of trouble and pain. I was hardly able to turn| over in bed. Seeing one of your Al- manacs, I decided to give Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root a trial and after taking several bottles was able to resume my work again. I cannot| say too much in praise of your Swamp-Root as the results in my case were truly wonderful. Yours very truly, ROBERT BALLARD, Mansfield, Pa.

That gave me the chance I was looking for. He wanted to know if the old town was going down hill as fast as ever; | whether a single merchant had painted his store in the last year; whether there was a business man | on main street who was making bet- ter than a meager living. “‘I told him the truth—and then he made it clear to me that he would ; never go back to our town to start| a store. He had just shrewdness! enough to see that the outlook was! not encouraging. The city had; him hooked, and if he’s not spending all he makes right now all appear-| ances are deceiving. His chances of starting a store anywhere are mighty slim; and even if he had| capital I should never be able to in- duce him to start in our town. “‘I explained the situation as gently as possible to Mrs. Bright when I went back home. She thank- ed me in her quiet, well-bred way and went out of the store looking a much older woman than when she entered. All she saw was the fact that Jimmy, her eldest son and the apple of her eye, was not coming back to our town to open up a drug store about which she had dreamed—was not coming home because our town had gone backward and its future was . “‘She did not see that the mail order house she had so innocently introduced in our town was the thing that had sapped the life from our community and made it so dead that |} er boy was not justified in carrying out his old ambition of starting a drng store there. * ‘Being right on the ground, it is entirely clear to me that if it had not been for the ravages of the cata- logue ‘house this would have remain- ed a neat, thriving little town and Jimmy would probably be the owner of a prosperous drug store. The chances are that if he had not set- tled in the city and kept feeding his younger brothers with tales of the allurements of city life, they would have stuck by the their mother and worked the farm themselves. They are good husky boys and would easily have made the farm pay much more than it now pays the lonely little widow. o “‘Occasionally I get grim amuse- ment in figuring out what Ourtown lost to the catalogue houses through the trade that Mrs. Bright and her followers took away from us. In a period ‘of 10 years it amounts to thousands of dollars. The town shows it, and the essence qof the whole thing is that in the long run, SOMEDON’TS For S8tomach and Liver Sufferers Don’t take medicine for yout# Stomach ailments: morning, noon and night, as usually such medicines only give tem- porary relief and simply digest the food that happens to be in the Stomach.

I do not_believe ;they: have made any di- r ny reduction in the but/even it they had they would still be out .of-pocket. They have sapped the business actu- ally out of their community, and put the price of our property on the down grade; ‘they have depressed lo- ctal labor and. wages. Instead of growing in poulation Ourtown has badly declined, and the pockets of every ‘man and woman have been touched.” “Let us- agsume’ that‘mail order buying becomes the rule among the people of Bemidji; suppose the ma- jority of these-buyers are the cus- tomers of the dry goods store. Slowly but surely the dry goods man réal- izes that his business is decreamsing. He is forced to quit business. He has two clerks, both married and have families. They, both the dry goods man and his clerks own: their own houses; now they are forced to sell out at a sacrifice and moye to another community. The = former owner of the dry goods store is now forced to seek employment as a clerk; his earning ability. is decreased and he has less money to spend, besides there is ome more thrown into the class of. clerks, thus helping to bring down wages and lower the standard of living. . “The hardware man is the next victim. He follows the path of the idry goods merchant. Finally he al- 80 is- forced to sell out. There is now a vacant hardware store in ad- dition to the.vacant dry goods build- ing. The residences of the dry goods man, the hardware man and the clerks of both are now vacant. This certainly effects the rental value of the property of the town. “The druggist-is the next to fall a victim of mail order buying; his experience is the same as the dry goods merchant and the hardware man. His earning ability will be greater if he moves to a larger town. It is the same with his clerk. There is another store and two more resi- dences;vaeant, They stand as'monu- ments of waste and warning to.other merchants who might be looking for a location. “Thé next to suffer is the grocery man. Soon tliere will be no place in town where the people, can work for 'their living; there are less mouths to feed; -nobuilding being erected and no imprevements made; the freight being hauled into town grad- ually decreases. There is less pas- senger service to and from the town, and soon the:place dries up and the railroads fail to show it as a stop- ping point on.their schedule. “Has tife :farmer profited?

An Offender’s First Arrest. - The first shock of arrest and impris- onment is to the first offender the great crisis of his life. He realizes suddenly and vividly that the state is not mere- ly a political abstraction out of a long forgotten school book, but a -thing alive, armed with jaw and claw.. The effect of this is overwhelming. There lives no human animal more penitent and plastic than. the fipst offender on bis first day in prison. On that day of all days the state can mold him easily to_its civic néeds. Turn him over to a man who believes in the bottom good in him; teach him a trade whereby he may learn to support himself honestly when released; give bim a sbare in his earnings, so that he may, even though .in prison, support his innocent wife and helpless children or, if be is alone, save a bit.of capital against that black- est. day of liberation—in other words, give him work and hope, the two things which all men need in order to live—and you will have set.-him on the road to citizenship. Deprive him of work and hope and you will as surely | bave sét him on the road to_criminal- ity.—From “The Man In the Cage.” B. R.
