Cer tainly they ought to be competent to do yood work. They are permanently lo cated with as and that means much to the purchaser of eye glasses and spec tacles. Eccnonj In Bojs' Clothes Kvery mother who has an active, healthy little boy to clothe, knows some thing of the number cf garments that are needed to keep him look. Leg respectable. Pantaloons become ragged in an incred ibly short time. Jackets wear out at the elbows and fray around the edge, aad stockings (how great holes at the kaeea. In fact there is no article in a child's wardrobe so expensive as stock -lr.gs if new ones are purchased whenever lhy wear out. A certain economical little mother never boys any stock infra for her two little boys except their Sunday , ones. When the are worn so that they need ! mending, ther are carefully darned and taken for every day. All the other stock- ir.g3 that they wear are made from the upper parts of those that the mother aad elder sisters have worn until the feet are beyond repair. They are then cut vj a pattern wxuen is straight in front and has a seam extending down the back of the leg around the heel and aader the middle of the foot, using the teg of the stocking and discarding the foot. The seam t stitched on the ma chine, then opened end catstitched down on either side. They require very little time to make and adjust themselves to the feet so they are quite comfortable. If there is a baby in the family, the stockings can be cut still smaller after the boys are done with them, and u?d antJ entirely worn out. This housewife had a number of brown stockings which had faded into the dirty indescribable color they us a ally assume after washing Lrg thetn a few times, so after making them over, she dyed thetn a jet black with diamond dye for cotton and they were ready lor a second period of use fulness. The same treatment may be osed with any colored stockings if you prefer to have them black. Necktie may be made at home for the little boy with very little trouble or ex pense. Purchase one and one-half yards of India linen, cut it in strips lengthwise the goods, having each ft rip the proper width for a tie. Hem the sides on the machine, using a narrow hammer and Leafftitch the hems across the ends. If you prefer silk ties for Sunday, use wash ilk instead of linen, and hem the sides by hand. linen wears well, can be washed aa often as you wih, and will look freh and new every time. Do not trim the blouses intended for every day wear with ruiSes. You can make two tjain waists while you are rnSlicg one, and the same rule applies to ironing. Bay percale and German blue instead of common calico. They cot a little more, but the material is wider and lasts longer. The mother who studies economy will make the little boys' pants instead of getting the ready made article, for the cloth in the latter is poor, and the mak ing worse. If you have the cast off car menta of the father, ancle or other adult member of the household at your dis posal, the little boy may be provided with ceat and comfortable garments at a trilling cost. A long pair of trousers will contain plenty of good material for a small pair when the owners consider them worn out. Perhaps the little man doe cot like to wear garments that hid playmates may recognize as having be longed to someone else. Wash the roods, dye it any pretty dark color you wih with diamond dye, and no one can tell from it appearance that it was not made of new material. Cut them by roceiy csucg patxern, cam pen every eeam and pre it and they will not have the "home made look that is always ob fectiocable. If you are a novice in this kind of workxamlne a tailor made gar ment closely, and you will have no trouble In putting tnm together and finishing them properly. E. J. O.

Jfnirel's Baeeess With 1:1 n coin SrelePresse and I)e a tch-A meri kan: . iseher Farmer , " The splendid sueeess end enormous growth ef the elrciilatien, ef the tlneoln Frelo Press " and Deutseh-AmerikaBi iseher Farmer is a matter of considerable eemmeat and great eunosity to Lineeln people From a little . ceuntry paper hardly kfiown the publlcatioa has grown to be the greatest foreign language pub lication hi the United ' Statesf The growth is the result of the splendid abil ity and excellent management ef Mr. Fi 11. Nagel. In an interview recently pub lished in "Agricultural Advertising" Mr. Nagel tells somethingof how the success was brought about. He started injuoe. ldUtL by purchasing a country paper with a circulation . of less than 2, 000, with an outfit worth less than (300. Now his publications own a complete, modern equipment with a quadruple Hoe press, which prints 48,000 complete copies per hour, and occupy a building of their own, the original cost of which exceeded $120,000. "How was it done? "Well.vby giving the people the best and the most for the money and by ad vertising." . "xou mention advertising last, isn't your phenomenal success due primarily . . ,;v "1 do not mind admitting that with out; advertising we could not have suc ceeded, but our best advertisement is a successful customer." But your customers are scattered over the whole country, or, at least, over what are considered the best agricul tural states." Yes, it was not an easy matter to reach our people the German farmers but wherever copies of our papers found their way into German settlements we heard from them. At first only a few subscriptions would come in; the majority would wait until they were convinced that we really meant to keep up the standard. It was not very easy sailing at first, for when a man has been reading some other paper for ten or twenty years you have to offer him some thing a great deal better to induce him to change, and I presume that applies to all kinds of goods." It must have cost a great deal of money to push the business the way you have done?" "Money and work. It took us over a year to find just the kind of a man we wanted to take charge of the editorial department and we are always looking for good contributors, paying higner prices lor agricultural articles tnan papers like the New York Sun pay for feuilleton matter. "How large is your circulation now?" "The February report of the Adver tisers Guarantee Company shows that over yi.ouu readers ot tne iJeutscn-Amerikani-icher Farmer had each paid the subscription for the current year in advance. In the average we print over 100,000 copies each issue." "You claim the largest circulation of any agricultural weekly in the United ! States?" I "Yes, and I think it is the largest in ! the world." Isn't that claiming a great deal for a paper printed in a foreign language?" "rsot if you consider that there are perhaps over a million and a quarter German farmers in this country and that they have but three agricultural jour nals printed in their own language." "You havn't told me about the adver tising methods you used to increase this circulation." "It is too long a story to tell. We first consulted the census statistics to find out how many Germans are located in each county. As there are a good many counties in the United States you can imagine how much work this re quired. Supposing 100 or 1,000 Ger mans were located in a county having twenty postoffices. Several forms of letters were next sent out to inquire how many were getting their mail at each office. The next move was to get the names of our possible customers. This work alone cost many thousand dollars. We have now 400,000 names and ad dresses." "Did you advertise in other publica tions?" "Very little and only to get names. We felt that other German publishers feared our competition and gave up the idea. If, however, we should have an opportunity to buy advertising space in other German papers circulated in agri cultural sections we should be pleased to do so, if the prjpo is reasonable." "What would you consider a fair price?" . "One-fifth of, a cent per line for every 1,000 paid circulation that is the rate we charge for the Deutsch-Amerikan-ischer Farmer 20 cents per line for 100,010 circulation." "Would you mind telling me how much your annual advertising appro priation amounts to?" "For the last two years it amounted to between ?20,000 and 825,000 each year. We have expended as high as $3,000 in a single week for circulars. If we had been able to get newspaper space we would have obtained better results with half the money." "How many subscription canvassers do you keep on the road?" "Not a single N one. All subscriptions are solicited through advertising only and each order must be accompanied by the cash that applies to renewals as well as to new subscriptions. We adver tise at all seasons of the year, but more in some months than in others. We ex pended over 82,000 in a single week in July, 1898. The money came back with in pix weeks, and while the immediate results were not as good as they would have been had the money been spent a month later, yet I believe that it pre pared the way for the fall advertising when we went after the same people again.' " "Do you give premiums to subscrib ers?" ' "We did at first, but discounted It be cause we found it too expensive. We now confine ourselves, to German books, which we print in our own office. We still offer a few other premiums for clubs, but in the main depend upon the value of our paper. We try to make It abso lutely, indispensable to the German American farmer, and when you remem ber that there are one and a quarter millions of them living In America you can see that we have a good field to cul tivate." Mrs. Gosper Is making a reduction on nice trimmed hats a large line of school haul at oast, 1201 D street, .Lincoln, Hall Inscranca The season for farmers to Insure their crops is. new, well began and as there are several new Hail Companies started up this year the field is full et agents from the several companies, and it is weil thatjevery farmer knows which eompany he "insures lm" " , We are in a position to knew, of the condition ef the several companies and will say that THB UNITED MUTUAL HAIL ASSOCI -TION ot Lincoln be gan the season with three thousand members in good ' standing, and there IS no question about . their five year policies, being good as some ef the agents for ether companies are now ad vertising over the country that the pol icies for a five year period is not good but there is no mora reason why a hail policy cannot bo written on a five year period than a fire-policy can, bo that the arguments put, up by these agents that a five year policy is no good is absolutely without foundation. v The old State Mutual Hail Insurance Association of Iowa writes nothing but five year policies and is the oldest Hail Company in the United States and paid in its third year of existence $287,000 in losses and the laws of Iowa in re gard to the length of time a policy or membership may be written are identically the same as our Laws of Nebraska, so that what these agents say in regard to not being able to col lect from members and pay losses on five Tear policies, is absolutely false, and we believe is done with a selfish motive for the purpose of getting the uninformed farmers to insure in his company. - The United Mutal Hall Insurance Association paid more for hail losses during the season of 1899 than has ever been paid for hail losses in the history of the state of Nebraska, and they are now writing more uall insur ance alone than all the other Hail In surance Companies in the state com: bined, and they are the only com pany In the state that confines its business strictly to the eazaern part of the state.

NO PROFITS IN EXPANSION Government Expense Increased From $5.01 Per Capita to $7.87 Much has been sald in support of the policy of expansion by force upon the theory that it will be profitable to the commerce of thiscountry. It is well to Investigate -before making a final conclusion. Mr. McKinley mayv say that he favors the retention oft the. Philippines and other colonies . in order that we may elevate, their people, but the country will accept Senator Beverldge, who for got all about right, justice, duty and freedom as the interpreter of the im perialistic purpose. The action of the house ot representatives on the Porto Rico tariff bill is confirmation of the young senator's words. The Philippines were purchased for commercial purposes only, and we have been entertained by much eloquent ex position, of their money value to this country. But in every business enter prise there is a debt as well as a credit side, and we cannot reckon the profits unless we count the cost. Let us assume that we can succeed in the colonial policy which brought Spain to ruin, and that we shall monop olize the trade of porto Rico, the Phil ippines and Cuba. That trade amounts annually to about $275,000,000. A net annual profit on that sum to American traders to Cuba and Porto Rico would be about $40,000,000. This gain is only to some residents of the United States, not necessarily native-born or even cit izens, by our possession, and by our successful exploitation In the most bar barous manner, of China, the Philip pines, Porto Rico and Cuba. This is the rosiest hue which Mr. Beveridge's dream can assume. To obtain this for these few citi zens the country will have paid as fol lows : Total cost of war with Spain $259,341,299 Cost war with Filipinos, 1899 64,761,267 Cost war with Filipinos, 1900 100,885,835 Total $424,844,500 Probable cost for 1900 .... 125,000,000 Grand total .......... $549,844,500 According to the present calculations of the government, there is to be a permanent increase in the annual cost of our army and navy for many years to come of $100,000,000. Moreover, the sum of $200,003,936 has been added to the public debt. The items of expense in which the great increases have been made are to be found in the detailed accounts of the two military services. In 1897 the pay of the army amounted to $13,230,761. In 1899 It amounted to $72,593,579. , We have as yet no account of the ex penditures for the fiscal year 1900, but we; have the appropriations, and we also have the deficiencies which the secretary of the treasury asked of con gress at the present session. These deficiencies are interesting They indicate how little is told by the annual appropriation bills aa to the ul timate cost of some of the services which the government Is undertaking. For example, the appropriation for tne pay of the army for the fiscal year 1900 was $29,203,847, but congress is asked for an additional sum of $15,188,833, making a' total of $44,295,680, a little under $28,000,000 less than the pay of the army for 1899. The estimate for 1901 Is $47,198,076," so that we are not soon to have any relief from this burr den. Congress appropriated $9,752,621 for subsistence for this year, and is asked for $3,000,000 In addition. It appropri ated $7,2000,00 for regular quarter master supplies, and is asked for 41, 600,000 more. It appropriated 17,500, 809 for transportation and is laid that $37,589;683 , will be necessary: : The total appropriations for the army for Jb89 amounted te $8949990 aad there is a deSeismey of $44,907,3TL . wAeeordiae te this the army is to cost the country this year $125,397,561, of whleh, still taking 1897 as the nomi nal year $99,129,997 is on aeeeuatef the war in the Philippines That the army is expected hereafter to cost between $125,090,900 and fl30, 900.000 a year is evident from the esti mates for" 1901 ,which call for an ap propriation ef $121,170,584 In making this calculation it must be borne in mind that the standing army desired by the government and which will be insufficient if wb are to retain our hew possessions, is to be as large as the regular aad volunteer forces of the present establishment, and will con tinue, therefore to cost the country some $60,000,000 a year in excess ef the sum expended annually for the mill tary establishment prior to the war with Spain. The total appropriation for the navy for 1900 was $40,928,783. In addition a deficiency appropria tion was. asked this year of $3,143,740, making a total for the navy for 1900 of $4,067,523, an excess over the normal of $9,505,977. To the appropriations for the army and navy for 1900 we must add about $1,250,000 Increased expenditures, and we have the following as the account for the present fiscal year: Increased cost of army....$ 90,128,907 Increased cost of navy ..... 9,505,977 Increased cost of civil list. 1,250,000 Total ..$100,884,884 The appropriation for the navy for 1901 will be larger than that for 1900. It will probably be an increase of about $30,000,000 over normal, . so that the cost of the war for 1901 will be about $125,000,000. It is too early yet, perhaps, to make any estimates as to the amount of pen sions which will be paid on account of the wars, but, on the basis of the num ber of claims pending at the end of the last fiscal year, it is safe to predict that the annual payments for these pensions will be at least $3,000,000, and in time will reach $20,000,000, compar ing 1897 and 1899. It only remains to add that the total expenditures of the country increased from $365,744,160 to $605,072,180, or from $5.01 per capita of population to $7.97 per capita. Success All people are desirous of success, especially when they have invested a large amount of money, and know that their ability is good, and the time spent in their preparation for their, special work. So we can say that we are only meeiE.g with the success that the above requirements merits, and while we feel gratified at our success, we are not egotistical, but expected just what has occrued. Our preparation for the work has had no small effect on our success, for we furnished our rooms up with the express belief that "there is nothing to good for the sick," and we believe every single person who has been here will testify to the fact that everything is first class, and that we have spared no expense In our endeavor to make them feel that they were at home,, as it Is really a home for the sick. As to our success in the treatment of the sick, we will say, that Is where our success comes in, we have had In the few months we have been located in Lincoln, nearly every kind of ail ment to treat, and we have not "suc ceeded" in keeping a person in one of our beds longer than ten days, they in-, sist on getting well and going at their business, and that is where we meet our success again, and every one we treat speak the "glad tidings' 'to their friends, that is more success, we are getting a gaod supply of canes, crutch es, etc., to show of our success in treatment of disease, for we keep an canes and crutches of those we cure. We are prepared to receive people at our institute for treatment that needs a bed and best of care, we have the best trained nurses, and prepare the food In the institute for the sick, and while we give them plenty, and of the best quality, we give none that will disagree with them. Our treatment consists of medicine, baths, magnetism, electricity, and sur gery, in fact anything that each indi vidual case needs, and our being pre pared for all kinds, or combination of treatments is the "main spring" of our success. We are making some wonderful cures and treat successfully the follow ing ailments: Diseases of Women, Diseases of the Nose .Throat, Catarrh, Head, Bowels, Stomach, Eyes, Ears, Lungs, Heart, Paralysis, Stricture, Var icocele, Nervo-Sexual debility. Rheuma tism, Piles, Kidneys, Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Syphilis, and all private Dis eases, . Liver, and Rupture, and while we do not claim to cure everything we do claim we can cure if a cure is possible. If you have any of the above ail ments call or write us, and should any oil your friends be troubled send us their names so we can write them, for li may be the means of saving their lives, we will commence a three months course of lectures on Magnetic Healing, on September 3, 1900, If you desire to learn the art In all Its fullness write for announcement.
