it should be borne in mind that bicycle is a vehicle, and is such entitled
to a share of the highway the same as
a conveyance drawn by animals, and
a driver lays himself liable to punishment if he disregards the cycler's
rights, which are equal to his own.
The new mode of travelling has come

Whether Bro.Slocum of the. Oakland County Advertiser has been experimenting—on some of his friends—
or has taken hearsay evidence we know
not, but there is a prescription of his:
"Let any victim of the liquor habit
eat tomatoes, with salt, consuming as
much each day as possible. Let the
eating of tomatoes and salt, to excess
be continued for several days, and the
tomato eater will find liquor offensive
and undrinkable, so much so that it
will be thrown up. This is the cheapest gold cure yet heard of, and itjs
said to, be effective."

Why do merchants encourage; the
credit system? Yqu answer,. me that
you don't. Yes, but you do. . If the
system were not encouraged by the
merchants it would notr.be in existence to-day. Did you ever stop, to/
think that the merhcantile community -
of ;the country are the ;only body of
men that tolerate, the credit system.
Let's see. you buy postage stamps,
postal notes, money orders, etc., no
credit: try it and. what will yon be
told. Go to the theater and you .pay-
money. Express companies demand
cash, and railroad tickets are cash
on delivery to the purchaser. Why
should not the merchant demand
cash? Simply because he encourages
the credit system. It may be an im-
possiblity to completely eradicate the .
system, "but strict limitations on credit is a step on the right road, ahfi
its evolution, will be practically a casli
basis system of doing business. It is
worth, a trial and should be begun at
once. It would quickly spread, like
measles in a country school, and when
it does it would solve the problem" for
all time. When sifted down it would
be found that the credit system is -the
progenitor of and responsible for more
evils that affect the financial business
world than all other agencies combined. Uot only this but it fosters
extravagance in the purchase of goods
which can be very well done without.
