•Lr.bcr Should P.eep Its Reward" Is
the Key-Ncte cf Ccmn.erce.
The matter of prices and profit is
r. .tlvvavfi interesting. not alone to retail
.usoCot uaerWtandlse, tint to 'consumers
iiTwell. There l as been nothing that
tas been so troubli ome to every cla33
,|s the matt r of pr'c93. It is ail easy,
there is no groat problem to solve,
and it ail rests In the hide ph.asa.
"labor should :p its reward.” Cost
is an all Ir.t; r: ur.t thing in every
product. There is the raw material,
the expenso oi’ putting the manufac
tured article In mercantile form. It
matters not. what the product is. it
la the expense of preparing it for the
consumer, th4 price of the raw mate
rial, cost Oi manufacture and distribu
ton that counts. Allowance mast be
made for an equitable compensation to
all having a part in the production of
any article of commerce. We hour
of cut prices, of ch. ,pnes& in this or
that staple, but when it is given con
sideration. where is the cheapness?
hi very article has or should have a
standard value. There is no good
reason why the worker in the shop
should not have fair and equitable
compensation for his labor. The man
ufacturer who ha; t'v :.v.:h!s of cap
ital Invested should have interest a.id
pay for his time; the man who places
the product in the hands of the re
tailer is entitled to pay according to
his ability as a salesman, and the
retailer should have equitable inter
est on the cai ital he has Invested and
compensation for his lime and labor.
Here you have all In a nutshell. The
elimination of the middle nan de
stroys one of the establish d customs
md industries. When any article of
commerce is placed on the market a'
a lower price than cost of mar ifac
ture and the expense of placing it b '
fore the consumer, somebody is the
loser. Here is food for reflection, and
it behooves the merchants and con
sumers to think the matter over.
THE OLD HITCHING POST.
It May Be Useful, but Is Unsightly and
Generally a Town Nuisance.
That good old hitching post! What
a familiar object to all of us who had
the good fortune to be reared near a
country town. Still, while tender
memories hang around the old post,
there is much about it at times worthy
of condemnation. There is nothing
that makes a main street of a small
town look so shabby and thoroughly
countrified and back-woodish as a row
of rickety old hitching pests on each
side of the street. Constant Lamping
and pawing near them makes holes in
the ground, unsightly mud-holes in
damp weather and ill-smelling and of
fensive in numerous respects. It may
appear a bit of enterprise on the part
of the merchant to or .>ct a number of
posts in front of his store, but does he
gain business by it? How often do
you see Farmer Shortcrop drive in, tie
his team to the post in front of Smith's
store and go over to Gn r.’s to do his
trading? As long as hitching posts are
allowed to occupy places in front of
stores on main streets it will be im
possible to keep the streets in the
neat and good coad't'on that they
should be in. Far better to have oil
some unoccupied street within easy
*ach of the business sections posts
where the farmers can hitch their
teams. Every town which has the
power to control its own affairs should
make regulations that will keep the
hitching post from “ornamenting” the
main streets.
Merit vs. Prizes.
Premium schemes and pr*ze offer
ings held out as bait to the ..pie to
get them to use certain brands of
goods should be very carefully consid
ered. The most common plan is the
certificate deal, by which is promised
some article represented to be worth
the total amount paid for gc . ds, if
only a certain number be sav i. Com
mon business sense assures that when
such a proposition is made the goods
must be of an inferior quality, or that
there is a catch somew'here. Goods of
merit do not have to car/y a prize in
order that they be in demand. People
are quick to buy goods of merit, par
ticularly in the staple line, if they
know of them. Of the standard brands
of foodstuffs, of cigars, of thread, of
different other things, how many are
giving i rizes? This is not the case
with numerous class- s of goods that
are sold with a premium attachment
Most of them are of inferior quality
and the price paid for thorn more than
covers the cent of the premium given. :
it is the old glimmer of g tting some
thing for nothing, and the women who
want trading stam; s, cr a prize with
their purchases, pay pretty dearly "for
their whistles.”
Unwise Coir petition.
There cannot b > a doubt but that
competition stimulates trade; but
trade is the natural outgrowth of civ-I
ilization and found its origin when in j
telligent man d sr. ere 1 tha he had a ;
few wants, and that they could be su - j
plied by com me litu s of ms ; osr as 1
and which he did not have hi-uself, I
and that he had a surj h;s ( f thin s
that he could trade for artic'< s others ,
had and which be -1 a led. Thus it. car I
be seen that want, lernand, s;;; idy, all |
go to make up th. which ;s .he li.V
of trade. Competition is ri ■ dv a
indication of a man's ambit in to x |
cel his neighbor, t gain more in ba- j
ter and trade than what w aid in
ordinary channels com- to bin. It is
merely to sick, t- reach rut aft v
things do sired. Fr< n thr fact that *50
per cent, of those ha engage in t'l
mercantile business fail, it seems
more appropriate t say that compcti- !
tion, unhealthy ami not directed by
sound judgment, instead of being the
life of trade, is ant- of its fatal dis
eases.
RECIPES FOR FRENCH CAKES.
Dessert Dishes from the Land of Good
Cooking.
Lorraine Cakes.—Take one quart of
Hour, a half pound of butter, a small
teaspoonful of salt, and two eggs. Mix
and knead these well together. Flatten
on the board to the thickness of two
silver dollars. Butter a pie dish and
line it with the paste, making a round
ed edge at the top. Put it in the oven
for 15 minutes, and take it out. Beat
two eggs together, with a pinch of
salt and a half pint of cream. Pour in
to the paste. Scatter over a few small
pieces of butter and put it again in
the oven for another 15 minutes. Serve
warm or cold.
Biscuit de Savoie.—Take four yolks
of eggs and mix them with three ta
blespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Add
and mix two ounces of rice flour, a
tablespoonful of vanilla and the whites
of the four eggs beaten to a froth. But
ter a mold, put in the mixture and
cook it in the oven for about 20 min
utes.
Quarter Quartz Cake.—Weight four
eggs and mix with them their equal
weight of sugar, the same weight of
flour, as much of butter and a tea- I
spoonful of vanilla. Butter a mold, put j
the mixture in and bake it in the oven
for 20 minutes.
Use of Languages.
The most extensively spoken lan
guage is Chinese, but as there are so
many dialects in the language and as
these differ so greatly in the confines
of Mongolia and Thibet from those
around Pekin, it is scarcely correct to
say that the 382.000,000 Celestials all
speak one language. Putting, there
fore, China aside, the most spoken
languages in the world are as fol
lows, in millions: English, 120; Ger
man, 70; Russian, 68; Spanish, 44;
Portuguese, 32.
Wireless Telephony.
A Danish scientist named Poulson
has perfected his apparatus for wire
less telephony, so that he can talk and
be heard distinctly front Copenhagen
to Berlin, some 240 miles.
No Use to Die
“I have found out that there is no
use to die of lung trouble as long as
you can get Dr. King's New Discov
ery,' says Mrs. J. P. White, of Hush
boro, Pa. “I would not be alive to
day only for that wonderful medicine.
It loosens up a cough quicker than
anything else, and cure lung disease
even after the case is pronounced hope -
less." This most reliable remedy for
coughs and colds, lagrippe, asthma,
bronchitis and hoarseness, is sold
under guarantee at J. I. Sturdivant’s
drug store. 50c and 81.00. Trial bot
tle free.
Girlhood and Scoff's Emulsion are
linked together.
The girl who takes Scoff's Emul
sion has plenty of rich, red blood; she is
plump, active and energetic.
The reason is that at a period when a girl’s
digestion is weak, Scoff's Emulsion
provides her with powerful nourishment in
easily digested form.
It is a food that builds and keeps up a
girl’s strength.
