Weak back is caused by weak kidneys,
and it is hard for a woman to look after
her 'household duties when she is suffer-
ing from a weak and aching back, for
no woman can be strong and well when
the kidneys are out of order.
Doan's Kidpey 'Pills go right to the
seat of the trearble; cure the weak, aching
back, and prevent any and all of the
serious kidney troubles which are liable
to become deep rooted into the system
if not attended to at once.

In the Art of Deception the Mail Order
Houses Excel the World—Where le
the Doubting Thomas Who Does Not
Remember the "Sight Unseen"
Trades of Boyhood Days? ..,..„,5171101
Of all the evil spirits abroad In the
land deception is the most dangerous.
It is the first and worst of all frauds.
Exaggeration is a blood relative to
falsehood and nearly as blamable.
Some men and some business concerns
can never state an ordinary fact in
ordinary terms. All their geese are
swans till you see them.
There is no strength in exaggeration.
Even the truth is weakened by being
expressed too strongly.
'A Gaping Monster.
Mankind in the gross is- a gaping
monster that loves to be deceived and
bas seldom been disappointed. They
say that idiots only may be cozened
twice, but how about the mail order
buyers? How often are they deceived
by the large catalogue houses?
In the art' of deception the great
mail order houses excel the world. In
their greed for gain and rush to vic-
timize the poor and unsuspecting they
paint their pictures of alleged bargains
too alluringly. They instill confidence
in the mind of the buyer, only latex
to fill Ms heart with doubt and dis-
gust
Who does not remember the "sight
aneeen" trades or "swaps" of boyhood
days? One of the parties in the trans.
action usually got the worst of it,
didn't he? And as a rule it wasn't
the one who proposed the deal, was it?
There is a lot of the same sort of
"sight unseen" trading going on to-
day, only nowadays it is called mer
chandising by mail.
Catalogues Look Inviting.
The illustrations in the catalogues oi
the retail mail order houses look twit -
hag. The reading matter sounds nice,
and sometimes the deal turns out all
right.
But, even supposing it does, where
in is the buyer any better off than it
he bought from the home merchant?
Take any article you choose from the
long list of things sold by mail and
you will find upon investigation that
you can buy it just as cheaply and
just as well at home. The expense of
selling it by mall is just as great as
the expense of selling it over the coun-
ter.
Your local merchants have rent, tax-
• es, clerk hire, etc., to pay, and the
mail order houses have the same ex-
penses, only rent and taxes are higher
in the large cities than in the country
town. And, in addition, they have to
majntain a small army of bookkeepers,
stenographers, shipping clerks and oth-
er employees, besides the immense cost
of advertising.
How many of the rural consumers
know that advertising appearing in
what are known as mail order advertis-
ing mediums costs from $42 to $85 an
inch in single columns? It is true nev-
ertheless. Where does the enormous
profit come from out of which these
enormous bills are paid? Out of the
pockets of the consumers.
Would Welcome Such Bargains.
The city people would go wild with
Joy if these mail order houses actual-
ly had values with style and quality,
They would not need to leave their
own large cities to sell at the prices
they quote, as the city people would
swoop down upon their bargains like
hungry hen hawks on green goslings.
But with style and value lacking they
do not dare show their goods in the
citywhere the prospective customers
would have the opportunity of com-
parison, but by cleverly worded and
exaggerated depaription they make the
country pec;5Ie believe they are offer-
ing more desirable wares than the
country* merchant carries and at a less
price, and, having no opportunity for
comparison before buying, many peo-
ple naturally are duped.
Everybody knows the picture of a
Ove dollar suit of clothes looks as good
as the picture of a twenty dollar snit.
The description reads well. The suit
seems to be what you want.
• Cash With the Order.
-You send your good money be-
cause the mail order house will not ac-
cept an order where the money does
not accompany it. Then the suit ar-
rives. It was to be all wool, but it is
not. It is fully a size too large and
several years out of date, and, besides,
it has the style and general appear-
ance of the prison made garment.
If Mr. Mail Order Man were right
there you would not accept the goods,
but he is far away, selling stilts,
doubt, to some other nonsuspecting
mons of man.
Next time you are attracted by an
ad. of some mail order "bargain" just
clip it out and take It to your local
dealer and see if he will not duplicate
It. That's • only neighborly and fair
and gives your merchant a chance to
make good hie statement that his
Mem are the lowest and his goods
the best. ,
