Minnesota, in Collier's. The boys and
girls grow up together in the same
family; they go together to the same
graded school; they go together to the
aame high school; they go together to
the university, and coeducation in the
.university does not seem to any of
them any more strange or unnatural
than coeducation tin the lower schools
fcaa seemed strange. So far as the in

ar the women upon the men. is con

result ia general to good. The men
are made more gentlemanly, and the
women, while having all the frankness
.aad freedom of the home life and the
acaool life, never lose the refinement
which belongs to them as women. I
.have bo sympathy whatever with the
-what shall J call it? sentimentality
which seeks to segregate the women
and shut them in by themselves In

Earthquake shocks were felt in fonr
continents in the six days between
April 14 and 19. They began with de
structive shocks in Mexico by which
three towns were ruined. Then Spain,
Russian Transcaucasia and Constant!
Bople felt the tremors, and there were
shocks at Manila and Charleston, and
volcanic eruptions accompanied by
earthquakes manifested themselves in
Chile. It is interesting to note, says
Youth's Companion, that these shocks,
with the exception of the one at
Charleston, occurred in the recognized
earthquake belts, one of which encir
cles the Pacific ocean; and the other
goes about the earth by way of Mexi
co, the West Indies, Spain, Italy, the
Caucasus, northern India, the JPhllip
pines and the Pacific islands.
So many school children have been
.found with defective eyesight that the
.school committees of several cities
have considered furnishing eyeglasses

jment should go in supplying citizens
.with the necessary things of life.
(Most American parents will prefer to
pay the oculist. In many cities are
free dispensaries where poor children
can be treated and receive free pre
scriptions for glasses. Parents should
be warned against incompetent ocu
lists who take advantage of the re
ports of, the boards of education on
the matter of eyesight in the schools,
and try to get business for themselves
by exaggerated warnings to the "par
eats of school children threatened
with blindness."

- Often is heard protest against what
is called clannisliness amoag f oreiga
ers who become citizens of the United
Stotes. , It la claimed that they carry
old-couritry ideas with them .to the
new land, and refuse to mingle with
other than their own naonaiity. in
defense of these foreigners who are
thus charged, it to but fair to say that
many of them labor under the misap
prehension that they are not looked
upon by the older American citizens
as companionable. Often their' lack
of a knowledge of the English lan
guage makes their own class desir
able associates. It will be observed
that in one or two generations condi
tion changes and- the children of these
foreigners become -thoroughly Amer
icanized. t mnu he well if some of the
traitsof clanntohness that are manifest
in foreign "colonies be generally prac
ticed throughout the United states, in
1848 an .effort was made to colonize
land in Missouri with a progressive
class of German citizens. The events
immediately following this effort, the
loss of one shipload .of immigraata
and the subsequent sufferings of the
newcomers, is a matter of history.
Bat undaunted hundreda of those who
at that time sought homes In the bow
country, gained for themaelves envi
able places Ib the annals of American
hlatory. and they founded commu
nities that may well be held up aa
model worthy to be copied. In Gaa
coaade county. Missouri, a large colony
fef these people sought homes. There
they tilled the soil and cultivated vine
yards. They were of one tongue aae
of one religious belief, a highly moral.
Sard-working people, and their aim
was to found homes for themselves
and their progeny. To4ay in Gas
conade county there Is more evidence
of wealth, of culture and harmony
among the people than can be found
In an? lke area of the United
States.'
From the founding of the colony it
was recagaized that if progress be
snade that the wealth produced by
members should he., retained. Mills
were gradually built'for the conver
sion of the grain into flour, wine
presses were found on almost every
homestead, and towns were built.
Among the first institutions establish
ed were schools and churches, and
these to-day are prominent factors In
the molding of the character of the
people.
It was one of the rales of the col
ony to assist one another.. Each one
while working for huuelf and his
family, realized that it was to his ad
vantage to patronize his neighbor.
Thus when the towns were started
and stores opened, it was made a
rule that these stores he patronized
and that the store-keeper be allowed
a fair profit for the goods he sold.
Tailor shops, boot and shoe makers,
soap makers, and even the brewers
of beer found their customers solely
among the members of the colony.
Although St Louis was.withm a few
hours' ride, the members of the colony
considered that the dollars kept .in
the little town instead of being spelt
in St. Louis meant much for the ad
vancement of the place. As years
passed by members, of the colony bet
came nrosnerous. Families were
reared and children married, addition
al homesteads were secured and there
was. a thorough cooperation among
all towards making life agreeable and
giving each member of the commu
nity a means of acquiring a compe
tency. One of the early undertak
ings was the building of macadamized
roads. These roads today are kept
.in the best of condition and .have
proved a mutter of economy to the
county. Schools and churches, which
at first were roughly built, have been
replaced with magnificent edifices
which are sources of pride to the resi
dents of the community. Some of
the small business places of 40 or 50
years ago have grown to be of almost
national importance. In fact all res
idents of the community are inde
pendent, and a few of them posses
sors of great wealth. How success
ful they have been to shown by the
absence of paupers in the county.
There are no public charges, neither
is there any great expense as to main
taining a county jail.
This community to but one of many
in the Mississippi valley and through
out the west. Such communities have
been built up solely by the simple ad-1
herence to cooperation among mem
bers aad a following out of the'home
trade principle. Members realized
that every dollar earned In the com
munity and sent to some other place
robbed the community -'$ so much
wealth, aad that' this dollar ceased to

chances for the success of young man

no denyiag of the fact that the farm

those inclined towards a pastoral life,

tralization of business to' considered
detrimental to the pursuing of busi
ness in mercantile lines on a small
scale.
This subject to open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is Increas
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre
sent themselves for the-' exercise of
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
ies, and the Utile village of to-day
will be the large city a quarter cen
tury hence. Almost every town af
fords the progressive young man a
chance for business success. Oppor
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover tnem.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth

they can draw support from, or upon
some-particular, advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufactur
ing along: certain lines. The oppor
tunities for young men are to some
extent gnaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
none may enter into basineas or pro
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
atroag and few pareats care to have
grown aoaa and daughters far away
from them. In this Is- discovered a
reason why residents of a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging in
business .in 'Ii In thousands: of cities
and towns of the' United States the
leading business mien to-day are the
boys who were farmers' sons a quar
ter or a half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
home town, and with the progress oz
the town developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths of to-day, but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they Ideated were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed.
COMMON SENSE ECONOMICS.
Simple Principles for Application in
Everyday Affairs.
He who aims to be fair toward his
neighbor will not deny him the oppor
tunity to make an honest living. The
day laborer should be as weU reward
ed, according to his work, as is the
merchant or the banker.
Merchants are shortsighted when
they will order potatoes or other
vegetables by the carload from an
other town when right In their neigh
borhood farmers have just as good po
tatoes to sell, and perhaps at a lower
price. No use in paying the commis
sion man a percentage in a case like
this.
From fruit-growing sections year
after year reports come as to the rot
ting of tire crops on accouunt of the
poor transportation facilities, or re
fusal of buyers in the large cities to
pay prices sufficient to pay for gath
ering. ' Here is an opportunity for the
manifestation of local enterprise.
Why not start small drying and can
ning establishments to use up the sur
plus fruit? Such establishments could
be profitably conducted, and operated
with benefit to all the people of the
community.
There to little economy for the
storekeepers to keep on their shelves
goods that are likely to grow out of
date, or deteriorate in value. Better
seU all such goods at actual cost and
give the people of the neighborhood
the benefit of lowest prices.
People are interested in prices of
goods. The wise merchants fully ap
preciate the value of the home paper
as a medium of intercourse with their
customers. Well-written advertise
ments and the naming of prices at
tract attention, for the average per
son when his attention is called to an
article always wants to know the
cost

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Ufa's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.
The New York Life Ins-France Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows no Hfe com
pany to write overv one 'hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit The New
York Life xained such headway be
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath
er than how to reach it. No other
company to writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre
ferred company. ,
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June SO were $21,880,761. It is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments 'under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,180,828, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu
ities, trust fund Installments, for. pur
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,480,136. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, em
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. It is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre
maturely. "Sensible to the Last,"
An old Scotch lady used to be at
tended by a doctor to whom she in
variably gave a guinea -when he went
to see her. He had told the friends
with whom she lived that her death
would probably be sudden, and one
day he was hurriedly aent for, aa she
appeared1 to have become unconscious.
On bis arrival he saw at once that
the old lady was dead, and, taking
hold of her right hand, which was
closed, but not rigid, he calmly ex
tracted from It the fee which she
had provided for him, and aa he did
so be murmured: "Sensible to the
last"

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Care
ful Persons.
Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat
On the other hand, too great con
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
ete, produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch to digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing om
peritonitis and appendicitis.-
Starchy food Is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form to
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into a form of
sugar during the process of its manu
facture. In this way, the required
food ia presented to the system in a
pre-dlgested form aad to immediately
made into blood and- tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
Is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly In physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because' the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash ob
tained from the grains, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination Is what nature uses to re
build worn out cells In .the brain.
This Is a scientific fact that can be
easily proven by ten day's use of
Grape-Nuts, "There's a Reason.'

took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe
cialist since it was an nicer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4. aad
ho said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, hat I thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment
so I purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me $1, aad ia three
daya oar daughter, who lad beea sick
about eight months, showed great im
prbvemeat and ia one week an sores
had disappeared. Of coarse it could
act restore the eyesight but If we had
used Cuticura ia time I am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

Two Advertising Truths.
A soap- millionaire and an actor
manager were talking business.
"I." said the actor manager, "hnve
discontinued the use of posters. My
announcements appear in the news
papers exclusively. I have learned
that those who don't read the papers
don't go to' the theater."
"You are wise," said the soap mil
lionaire. "And I do like you. Long
since I discarded every form of ad
vertisement save that of the press,
finding that they who didn't read a
daily paper had no use for soap."

gay commencement throng. The
stage was crowded with a class of 206
boys and their teachers. Among the
graduates was John, the big brother

the scene with bulging eyes. He
snuggled up to his father and in a
stage whisper asked:
"Papa, isn't it nice that so many
people came to John's commence
