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.

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

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. If their is no agent in
your locality, write the Home Office for
blanks and particulars, Rooms 315 and

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

Another method, which proves fully

GROWING CRANBERRIES.

AaHiBat ( JOabe..
,. At a recent meeting of Canadian fruit
growers the question of growing cran
bsrrles was discussed and ohe of
the leading growers offered some testi
mony from wbioh the following ia di
gested. TheTland for planting cran
berries should be worked up and sand
ed, the sand, to be from three to six
inches deep. The irrigation la : im
portant in fact, , i essential to cran
berry growing. The land should al
ways be kept damp. Before the frost
comes the patch should be flooded and
kept bo until the first of May.' Tbe ber
riea, do not thrive well whan exposed
to the wlnter'a froat. If a long spell
of dry weather takes place in summer,
irrigation should be repeated. One
speaker said: V
"I grow the Cherry(Bell variety and
I realized $300 net for what I grew on
one acre last year. I. would like to
know if there is anything else one
would put an acre to that would bring
the same returns. Sand will correct
all weeds. I now have 15 acrea under
cultivation, and all my neighbors have
taken up the industry, although they
laughed at xne when I started mine.
I can recommend the cultivation of
cranberries a a profitable business,
from the experience I have had."
Fine Wood Oil.
The oil obtained from the shoots of
the dwarf pine is used medicinally by
the peasants' of Hungary, while the
soft-grained silver fir is used for the
sounding boaads of t musical Instru
ments, and the Germans employ it al
most exclusively in their vast toy fac
tories. The wood used in the manu
facture of luclfer matches is mostly
pine, and the aggregate amount of
pine wood used in these various indus
tries exceeds that of all other kinds "of
wood put together.
