One of the most noted, successful richest men of this century, in'a ae article, has said, ‘‘ Whatever I am and > regatta? success I have attained in world I owe all to my wife. the day I first knew her she has been mate of my life.” < ‘To be such a successful wife, to tain the love and admiration of her erapene. to repre aie, to make the of himself, should be a woman’ constant study. ff ss Ifa woman finds’ that her energies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, bearing- down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg- ularities or the blues, she should start at once _to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E.

Here you go into a Store and make your wants known. The salesman shows you the desired arti- cle and if necessary helps select or suggests to you the article best suited to you. Right there you have a chance to examine the quality, to see the style, to select the size and color, as the case may be; you can compare the different qualities, etc., and then if all is satisfactory, and in your judgment the price right, you will make the pur- chase. When you get home and upon a rigid examination you find a ‘flaw or crack in your purchase, or maybe in size too large or small, or blue instead of black, then the next day or a week after you go to town to your Mr. Deal- er, who will gladly exchange the item or refund you the money. Then how many times does your home dealer extend you credit? Has he not waited on you until your crops matured or until your produce is ready for market or until pay day? All these are accommodations you can get only at home, and are, at times, of much help: Pictures Lie. On the other hand, you order an ar- ticle by mail. You look through the catalogue. The item is there (that is, a picture and a smoothly written de- scription). We know that the picture of a $5.00 suit looks as good as the one for $20.00. You read the description; it seems to be what you want,-and you send the money, because they want the money with your order. You can order the goods on inspection by send- ing part in money, balance C. O. D., but there is usually so much incon- venience in refusing a shipment that ‘mine times out. of ten you will accept the goods though they are not what you expected to get. When the article comes it is not what you expected, it may not fit, or something is broken or has a flaw in it. If Mr. Catalogue man was right there you would not accept it, but he is so far away, he has your money. He says he will send money back, but rather than go to all that trouble you would accept the shipment. We know of one particular instance where a good fel- low ordered a heating stoye, think it was $8.95. When the stove came he Was very much disappointed. It was a very smal! size. “He told us he never got any use of it. Now if this same man had gone to one of our dealers and seen this same stove at $8.95 he would never have bought it; he would have selected one at $12 or $14 and obtained the right kind for his use and been satisfied. More lilustrations. Another case came under our notice recently. A certain young man needed a suit of clothes. Our home dealers had them, but after reading the glow- ing description in these catalogues, he thought we were entirely too high priced. He ordered—the suit came. It was to have been all wool ‘(we know it wasn’t). Then the style of the coat was from a few years back. It was a misfit, being fully a size too large, but he had sent the money. Another time a good farmer ordered five rolls of barb wire.. When it came and he had paid the freight, he found he could have saved $1 and a good deal of time and trouble by buying at home. Also this came to our notice: A man ordered wire fencing. The picture looked so good he desired to put it up around hishome. When it came it was so different that he stored it away in his smoke house, as it was not suited for his use at a!!. We know of scores of other instances where goods receiv- ed were not up to expectations. We know it to be a fact that vehi- cles apd, farm machinery bought from some of these concerns. which looked cheap at the time of purchase, but af- ter a few years’ usage proved that had these people bought from their home dealer, although at a higher price, they would actually have received more for their money—and so it is all through the line. Harness Poor Grades. Take harness and saddlery; there are several good reasons why you should buy of your home dealer. First, all the harness is made right here at home in, a careful manner out of the best quality..cak~tanned.leather—not like Mr. Catalogue Man does—who sim- what price can you make so many sets of harness, something that I can give a good description of, but caring not how it is made or how long it will last? He does not expect to sell more than one set to a customer, for experience has proved that when some one had a set sent they did not desire a second one. Another thing. If you have an old set of harness or collar to repair, does Mr. Catalogue Man repair them for you? No! If you want a new set of harness to the home dealer and he will be glad to figure with-you and save-you from $1 to $3 a set. Then here you can ex- amine the goods, have changes made if you like, and your money will stay at home and do thig community some ply goes to a manufacturer and says, at | you can; bring xour catglogue ‘withcyou® The Difference Between Ordering by Mail From a Catalogue House and Buying at Your Home Store. There is much difference between }, i | i | The Way They Do it. The mail order house will take a well-known brand of shotgun,’ say the Smith Hammerless, and offer it at $25. This gun they describe with a few lines and send a small cut or pic- ture of it. Next page they will use a large cut of their own brand of gun, and what they do not say about this gun is not worth saying. This wonderful gun they price at $19.87, and according to description this gun is worth a great deal more. The reader orders the $19.87 gun, on which the supply house makes a profit of 50 per cent, while if he had ordered the $25 gun they would not have made 5 per cent. But listing a well-known brand at’a cheap price establishes con- fidence and helps them gain their point to sell their own brand at a big profit. It would set city people wild if these supply houses actually had values with style and quality. They would not need to leave their own large cities to sell at the prices they quote, as the city people would go wild over the bar- gains. But with style and value lack- ing they dare not show their goods in the city where the prospective cus- tomer would have the opportunity for comparison, but by cleverly worded and exaggerated description they make the country people believe they are offering more desirable wares than the country merchant keeps at a_ less price, and having no opportunity for comparison before buying, many peo- ple are actually duped, Baits of Leaders. We know. it is a fact that many ar- ticles are priced in these catalogues cheaper than you can find them in your home stores. Have you ever thought of the reason why that is? It is not because he cannot get these goods and sell them to you at just as low prices, put it is because he is afraid to sell you articles that have no merit and because you can reach him daily and expect him to make it good. You expect to get goods of satisfac- tory quality or he may lose your trade. He is your personal friend and is afraid to selj you goods he cannot recom- mend. If he had never seem you nor expected to, and is several hundred miles away and could get the money first, he would be in a different posi- tion. Remember we don't want to say that you can’t get good goods from these concerns, for we know that you can, but these better grades cost you as much and more than they do at home, with the exception of a few baits and leaders. There is still one more thing to bear in mind and which we think a serious one. Supposing*the mail order houses could sel] goods cheaper and every- body would order their goods from them—the lo&sl stores would soon be no more and you would then be oblig- ed to send for everything. Remember a store cannot be kept up with the small purchases if the money is sent away for the big things. You have then succeeded in ruining your home trade and you have helped to build up an enormous corporation in some far- away city. Your home consumption and market would decrease, the value of your farms and houses would be- come less valuable, for you well know if a town goes back the value of it and its surroundings decrease. Sending your money away you get nothing but the goods; spending it at home it will come back to you in better towns, better stores, better schools, better churches and better social advan- tages. 1 Home Industries, Is not the building up of your small town more to you than the building up of some faraway city? Is it not a fact that if oyr town had 10,000 population instead of 1,000 it would be better for us all? Would there not be much more employment; would not these people consume more products and consequently make a better market; would not the small homes with one lot be doubled in value and every farm within a radius of ten miles be worth $10 to $50 an acre more? Therefore is it only a good thing for the merchant or tradesman if you buy of him? Is it not just as good a thing for you? Another thing. You probably have a family and some time one of your sons may think of going into business for himself. Where is there a chance for the young man with a limited cap- ital to ever become a merchant when the people send their money to build up these gigantic corporations to com- pete with your son or your son’s son? Home interests First. True citizenship is not all in rallying around the ‘Star-Spangled Banner” of our country and singing “Hail Colum- bia.” The spirit of true ‘patriotism is shown by the man who patronizes home industry first, last and all the time. It is quite amusing to read the smooth talk used in catalogues to de- ceive readers into sending their o-- ders. They say that goods are sent in plain packages because many mer- chants who buy of them to sell again object to having their name appear on boxes, etc. We want to tell you we honestly believe not a'single merchant} in this United States orders any goods from ‘these concerns. He cannot buy from them and stay in business. A good merchant buys from the manufac. turers. The statement is made to make you, Mr. Reader, believe that yau! ean buy as cheap as your merchant. ' ‘Title of General and I'll Drop the Private.” One time Gen. Sherman, who was a warm friend of Private Dalzell, said to him: “Don’t you think you make too much of ‘that Private business? Your friends tell me it has handicapped you greatly in Ohio politics, and I believe it, or you’d been in congress long ago. If I were you I’d drop that title.” “Agreed,” Dalzell responded at once, “and so I will if you'll drop yours.” The grim old fellow, who loved a joke, grinned and dropped the subject and never mentioned it again. The Thing to Be. A Lincoln reporter interviewed ‘William Jennings Bryan a few days before he set out on his year’s tour of the world. Mr. Bryan said that he was taking his family with him; that if he had children of only seven or eight years, he would take them, too, because he found that little children were often more observant than older people. “Why,” said Mr. Bryan, “I was talk- ing to a little chap of only eight the other day, and when I asked him what he was going to be when he grew up he showed a fairly intimate acquaint- ance with’ the insurance situation in New York. “What are you going to be, Jim?’ said L. “And the youngster answered: “‘T am going to be a syndicate. They Make all the money nowadays.’” Brain Food Snares. Patent brain foods are a delusion and a snare. A man may cram him- self with fish and phosphates until he becomes luminous in the dark (if that be possible), and yet remain to the end of time as incapable of comprehending the first problem of Euclid or the last joke in Punch as he was on his first birthday.—Dr. Wallace, in the Young Man. IF YOU ARE A WOMAN What Mrs. Ford Says Concerning Or, Williams’ Pink Pills will Surely Interest You. “I wish I could help other women get rid of certain physical troubles as com- pletely as I have succeeded in getting rid of mine,’ said Mrs. B. B. Ford, of Pushmataha, Miss., recently. ‘‘ You know,” she continued, ‘‘that a woman's health depends ehiefly'on the regu- larity of just one function. If she fails to keep that properly regulated she has no end of physical misery. I suf- fered from that one cause for two wretched years, during oue of which I was kept in bed all the time. I tried medicines enough to cure any illness, but nothing gave me the slightest bene- | fit until I began using Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They cured me. Why, I was suffering all the time prac- tically from sickness of the stomach, dizziness or swimming in my head and pain in my back. Now I am entirely free from discomfort of that sort. Iam not only able to keep on my feet, but to do my work. as a teacher, and to enjoy the pleasures that come throngh the ssession of sound health. “ Within three weeks after beginning the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I ex- perienved such relief that I knew they | must be adapted to the needs of my case. After using them for a short while longer I became and have sivce remained a ‘well woman, and the reason why is sim- ply that I took Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.’ ‘These pills make uterine action reg- niar and painless, banish headaches, lan- guor, nervousness, create appetite, pro- mote digestion, put color in the come plexion, build up strength and health.

Do not imitate any other person’s writings or draw inspi- ration from outside sources.” } As a result of this advice Tommy Wise turned out the following compo- sition: + “We should not attempt any flights of fancy, but write what is in us.
