Lot the public uuow Unit you live In n wide awake town, spread ItH funic abroad by every legitimate method mid yo(i will do much to liulld It up nnd Improve It. In this connec tion the Atlienx (O.I Messenger makes the following vtiltmble suggestions on Bypteiuutlc town boosting; "Circulars, advertising to tllstnnt newspapers, photograph souvenirs, nil nro good to spread the fnlr fume of our city. Hut nftcr nil, the thin:; that makes the town Rrow Is the outhusl nsm of Its peoplo, "Most people come In contact during the yenr with hundreds or even thou Bands of people from distant places. If each ouu of us would take the pallia whou meeting these distant friends to nay something about the business ad vantages, tho social pleasure, tho pub lic spirit of this city, a widespread Im pression would bo out reaching nil over the United States that this town is on the map and a good plnco to call home, "Somo of these distant friends, hear ing of people who are thinking of changes of location, would speak of the Impression thus gained. This Is the way that most moves nro made, through somo one's personal recom mendation. If wo spread abroad the fa mo of this city the returns will In tlmo come In n hundredfold. This Is the way western people work It to make their towns grow. This would not bo a hard thing to do. Persons can always tlnd something good nbout their homo town. Wo should mention that "Theso good things have wings and fly abroad. You might oven flud some Good thing In the knocker to mention. 'If you think the town In which you llvo Is n bad place get out of It nnd And n placo that suits your fancies and boost it." TEST OF FABRICS. How to Detect Frauds In 811k, Linen or Woolen Goods. Of tho goods sold us "all wool" there is not ono-tonth that Is genuine. Gen erally the main component Is cotton. Tho test for this Is simple All that Is necessary Is to pull out u few threads nnd apply n lighted match. Cotton will go off tu u blaze; wool will shrivel up. To distinguish pure linen from coun terfeit Is even easier. Tho Intended buyer need but wet tho linger and ap ply it to the goods. If they nro pure ilupu tho moisture will pass through, the spot touched will bo "soaked nt once, nnd almost Immediately one side will be us wet as tho other. Frauds are more numerous in silk than In any other fabric, but hero also tho material of adulteration Is cotton. Its presence can bo readily discovered. Draw n few threads out. The pleco of cotton will snap on short when pulled, while the silk will stretch mid penult u considerable pull before breaking. The boasted silk of our grandmoth ers that "stood by Itself" Is not neces sarily the best. Modern Ingenuity has devised means by giving the poorest articles the best body requisite for this purpose. Shellac and other sticky sub stances mixed through the fabric will produce ns btltt a silk as ever graced the wardrobe of our ancestors. Such stuff Is quite worthless, however, as it quickly rots. As a Weapon. "Tho Into O. Henry." said n maga zine editor, "was always doing nnd saying tho unexpected thing. That was tho secret of his charm, Mr, Por ter- to give him his right name was once prevailed on by my wife to ad- I dress a mothers' mooting in Hrooklyu. ' Ills address, a brilliant one, began with the announcement: -f " 'Fow women know tho full vulue of a tlatlron ' " f Impudent. lie So you insist on breaking off tho Higngamout? She Most decidedly. Wbat do you take mu for? IloOh. nbout forty. Hotter think it over; it may bo your last chance. Exchange. ' How to Make Oatmeal Lemonade. Lemon oatmeal Is a drink of which Invalids rarely tire.

Plnco In n sauce pan nnd boll until the quantity is re duced to two pints. Set It aside to cool mid then pour the clear gruel nwny from the sediment. Add to this the Juice of a lemon and n small quau tlty of powdered sugar. This may be served hot or cold, nnd It Is good either way. What He Doubted.

Tho time has gone by when the pub lisher of itny newspaper, even of the humblest country weekly, goes around asking' support out of pcrsoual friend ship. Hut the public ought to realize Just tho same that tho prosperity and prog ress of Its town nro Judged by outsid ers by the kind of newspaper product that Is sent out to represent It. A town with poorly printed, III writ ten nnd generally slovenly newspapers Is universally Judged to be on tho to boggan. A town wltb enterprising looking sheets gives nil Impremlon that i there is enterprise In the town t tint creates tho good looking Journal. Wheu n man pays down his dollar for n subscription to his home paper or for advertising in Its columns he Is nt the same time advertising his home town to the outlying country mid neighboring cities. , Tho more n newspaper's subscrip tions mid advertising Increase the more features the publisher can add, tho faster he can improve his mechan ical equipment, the more nearly can ho come to realizing his lienls of newspaper making. Ilnmlltou (O.i Journal. Practical Patriotism. Many n man who says he would be willing to die to snvo bis country won't turn his hand over to help save his town. Vet It's the towns that make up the nation, and there Is always an opportunity for real practical patriot ism there Especially Is this truo of the business of a town. Without the pntronngc of his fellow townsmen no merchant enn llvo. Don't send your niouey out of town to the mall order houses. (Jive the local man a clinucc- wv.jKij.t.jwj.j.jjvj.;, FOR THE BUSY MAN WITH & TIME TO STOP AND THINK. & Protecting the Trees, Out In Iowa some clubwomen, under the leadership of Miss May Weller. have decided that tho telephone com panies must not destroy the trees and have forbidden them from going on private grounds. Women all over tho state will not permit tho linemen to go on their lawns. On Time. By tho tlmo a Chlueso boy is Ave years old his mother has got n wife picked out for him, mid, though he may never see her until he Is a young man. he is exported to marry her when ho Is olghteeu.
