The lum- bermen in each town in Missouri and Kansas have obligated them- selves to form an organization among the local merchants and drive down the prices of merchandise so as to compete with the mall order houses, s The way the lumbermen express themselves the eltuation is becouing alarming in some of the country dis- triets. The trade of the merchants in many of the country towns fs be coming serlously affected because the catalogues of mail order houses are offering to ship goods to any part of the country at a price cheap- er than the local merchants have been inthe habits of selling them. The lumbermen say the business men tn certain districts must either reduce prices on all goods or go out of business. The country newspa pers are taklog up the tightfor the merchants agalost the mail order houses and the customers of the country merchants probably will buy goods cheaper for awhile than they have been in the habit of pay- ing. “In some of the small towns furth- er east the grassis growing in the streets and merchants have been forced out of business by the mail order houses,” Harry A. Gorsuch, secretary of the Southwestern Lum- berman’s assoctation sald: “Throughout Missouri and Kan- sas the business of the merchants ts being encroached upon by these cata- logue or mail order houses It is time for the merchants to wake up and do something before it ts too late. The lumbermen are not badly hurt, but other lines of business are. It is better to do busines ata loss for a while than to be driven out of business. The local merchauts must stand {n with thelr customers and make prices to meet the mail order houses. The people had rather buy goods from the local merchants, prices being equal, because they can see what they are buying.” The Price of Health. “The price of health in a malarious district is just 25 cents; the cost of a box of Dr.King’s New Life Pills,’”’ writes Ella Slayton, of Noland, Ark.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of ey Poison in Wall Paper Causes the Death of Woman. Evansville, Ind., April 15 —It has developed that the death of Mrs. Z Watson, in Posey county, Ind., a few days ago, was not the result of meningitis, as firat reported, but was caused by a species of poison con- tained in the wall paper that covered the walle and ceiling of the parlor. The wall paper has been examined and was found to contaln a virulent olson. When brushed or shaken a ne mica-like substance falls from the paper inacloud. It was to pre vent the mail clerks and postal em- ployes from being potsoned that the government recently forbade the malling of souvenir postal cards covered with this preparation. Mr. Watson has lost three wives during the last three years. They all showed the same symptome in their last illnees and isis now believed that all were poisoned by the wall paper. Mr. Watson recalls that all |’ ot hie three wives cleaned the wall paper in the parlor a short time be fore they were taken sick and died. “Pneumonia’s Deadly Work had so eerlously affected my right lung” writes Mrs. Fannte Connor, of Rural Route 1.
