SYSTEMATIC BOOSTING.
,
Make a Business of Telling Friends of
Your Home Town's Advantages.
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

How to Make Oatmeal Lemonade.
Lemon oatmeal Is a drink of which
Invalids rarely tire. Mix a tablespoon
fill of tine oatmeal Into a smooth pnsto
with cold water, then pour over It
three pints of boiling water, stirring
well nil the time. 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.

HOME PAPER A TOWN MIRROR
Reflects Progress of Community to
Outsiders Who See It.
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

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
