FOLEY KIDNEY PILL j FOR RH UMATISM KIDNEYS AND BLAOOt* .IKING'S .'JEW DSSCOVERf Will Surely Stop That Couah. The Mail Order House and the Lo cal Merchant.' We think the home merchant never had a more sincere or constant cham pion than we are. We have always and continuously advocated patron age of the local merchant exclusive ly, because we are quite certain that the individual life and future of the community—not only the town and the people who live in town, but the whole community—is bound up in the fight of the home mechant against the mail or der house. There are times, however, when we feel that we are taking a lot more in terest in the issue than the merchants themselveB are. Our interests are na turally bound up with theirs, but after all it is the merchants themselveB who have the most at stake, and if they choose to ignore the inroads of the mail order houses, why should we worry? One little word tells the story of the successful methods of the mail order houses—advertising. Everlasting and continuous advertising. The sort of advertising that takes no count of the cost so long as the results are satisfac tory; advertising that is difficult to prepare and expensive to distribute. Still, in view of these things, and with the greatest advertising weapon in the world at their command, there are many merchants who will sit back and say, “advertising don’t do me any good,” or “it don’t pay in my busi ness,” or "they’ll come in and buy from me anyway when they want any thing I have,” or “the ad. coBtB too much money—I can’t afford it,” or a thousand and one other excuses familiar to the man who solicits advertising for the local papers. Don’t pay? Man alive! Listen! If advertising did not pay every mail or der house in the United States would be in the hands of the receivers in six months. Local merchants have the means at hand—their local papers—of covering their trade territory once a a week with their message to their cus tomers at one-tenth—yes, one-twentieth — the proportionate cost to mail order people. Do thev use that weapon? In many cases they do not. They prefer to sit back and say that it don’t pay, or that they can’t afford it. Listen again. The local newspapers are just exactly what the home mer chants make them—no more, no less. It is the home merchants that must support them, and the papers are a strength and a support to the merchants in a thousand different ways. A Fair Warning. Saturday Evening Post, “Many a man goes to war with' out the slightest conception of what it really is,” said a veteran of Gen. Kobt. E. Lee’s army. “In 1864 I had com mand of a detail made up of a dozen or two recruits that had just come up from the Gulf States. The first night we were near the enemy I managed to find a deserted cabin, and, after placing my picket out in front, we flung ourselves down to sleep. In the middle of the night I changed the picket, selecting for duty a young fellow who had ex hibited the most intense longing to ex terminate the entire Northern army. “About dawn I was awakened by the well-known ‘ping, ping!’ of bullets against the logs of the cabin and the expostulating voice of my picket. Go ing to the door I saw that a small scouting party of Federal soldiers had discovered signs of Confederates in the cabin and were trying to drive us out by firing from the opposite hill. I turned to my picket and gave a gaBp of astonishment. The young man stood in the midBt of the clearing while the bul lets whistled around him. There was no sign of fear about him, but he was tremenduously excited. He had dropped his musket and was waving his arms, trying to attract the attention of the enemy, and shouting at the top of his voice in tones of remonstrance: “ ‘Sa-a-y, you fellows over yander! Don’t you-all be a-shootin’ in here; thar’s folks in here!’ ’’ Making the Most of June. To enjoy the beautiful month of June to the utmost one must be in good health.

Birmingham, Ala., June 17.—With the advent of the boll weevil in Ala bama, seriously threatening to reduce the cotton crop 25 per cent, or more, with the loss of over $25,000, J. R. Holland, a planter near Dothan, hit upon a remedy that promises to prevent heavy damages from the pest. Some time ago he discovered boll weevilB spreading rapidly on hiB farm and creating havoc with his crop. He experimented with a large flock of gui nea fowl, which he turned loose on his cotton field. He wired in a 20-acre tract planted in cotton to keep them on the job. The guinea brigade immedi ately set to work devouring the weevils and proved great fighters, cleaning up the whole tract in a few days. Careful inspection showed that the weevils were entirely exterminated, while farms ad joining were overrun. -Holland got his idea from turning loose a flock of guinea fowl in a field of vegetables infeBted with green bugs that are too aristocratic to feed on cot ton bolls. The guinea fowl made a com plete clean-up. The plan ia working profitably both ways for Holland. The fowls fattened rapidly and commanded fancy prices in the poultry markets. Holland is preparing to apply his plan to a much larger acreage, and has pur chased several hundred additional gui neas for the enterprise. He is confident they will save him thousands of dollars hy destroying the weevils, while bringing additional profits from the extra weight of the fowls. Holland’s plans are being closely watched by hundreds of cotton planters of the South, with the purpose of adopt ing the same policy. Bowel Complaints in India. In a lecture at one of the Des Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary from India told of going into the interior of India, where he was taken sick; that he had a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with him him and believed that it saved his life. This remedy is used successfully in India both as a preventive and cure for cholera. You may know from this that it can be depended upon fur the milder forms of bowel complaint that occur in this country. Obtainable everywhere. A Pslam of Life. 1.
