Which May BE of Value to Him.
How to advertise successfully in dull
times for a general retail store is diff
ficult subject to decide. 1t is at the
same time subject upon which there
is great diversity of opinion.
BY dull times we mean the seasons of
the year when trade is not usually so
brisk as it is at other times. At these
times some merchants largely increase
their advertising expenditures. Others
continue about the same as in busy
times. Business discretion should, of
course. be used by all, but as a rule
we believe those who do the most adj
OF reasons to support their side than

If the purpose is to draw trade, then
why not advertise when you need trade
the most? Of course this rule is sub
ject to the surroundings and the cir
cumstances. We realize that in dull
times it is much harder to bring peo-
pie to the store, but that is one reason
why more advertising should be used,
or better advertisements should be
used, for it is not always necessary to
extend ones space where the same re-
suit may be accomplished by using
the same space in making the adver-
tisement attractive
If possible in dull seasons more in

customer than in brisk seasons. More
care should be used in selecting ar

THE VEAL CURE FOR sUNBURN.

None of us, even the most fastidious,
minds a slight tinge of olive of a becom-
ing shade to our cheeks, but when this
color deepens into mahogany we feel we
must take active measures to rid our
selves of this unwelcome visitant. One
of the most successful things TO try is
the veal cure. You must provide your
self with one or two veal outlets and then
have these cut into thin slices. These
raw slices must be carefully laid all over
the face and lightly kept in place. You
must retire into perfectly darkened
room and lie on a sofa or bed on your
back for half an hour or longer. When
the veal seems hot it should be turned on
the other side and tried again. When
the face has ceased to burn the veal may
be removed and the face gently washed
with elder flower water, and it must not
be exposed to the sun again that day.
Be careful to use no soap on it for day
or two. This is, however, cure that
cannot always be ready at hand. In
this case you must try the magnesia cure
which is very easy and very successful
1t IS specially handy after yachting and
boating.
Take a very finely pounded calcined
magnesia and mix it with milk to moist
paste; then paint it over the face with
camels hair brush or apply with a
sponge Let it dry on and remain for
five minutes or so. Then very gently
brush off the powder with a soft flannel
and wash the face in warm milk and
water till it is quite clean. At night rub
a little cocoa oil into the skin, or smear
it with very thin cold cream and wipe off
with a soft towel.

SOCIALISTS QUIET.
Wild Scenes of the Past Few Days
Are Conspicuous By Their Abb
sence.

I LONDON, July 31.-At the session to-
day OF the international socialists la
Dor and trade union congress, at ST
Mantin's town hall. NJ. Valiant, the
French socialist deputy, was chairman.
and Matthew Mcguire, the leading
delegate Of the socialist labor party of
the United States was vice chairman
The congress adopted the report Of
the committee on education and physi-
ca development, favoring a govern
ment system of public education. eX-
tending from the kindergarten to the
university, and including physical,
scientific, artistic and technical sub
jects to be genuinely accessible to
everyone by freedom from fees and pub
lie maintenance eli the scholars. The re-
port prohibits the employment of
children under IS years Of age in night
work or in any work involving labor
over twenty-four hours weekly.
Mr.. James Kier Hardie argued that
whatever expense the maintenance of
scholars and their university education
would be, it would be followed by COM
pensation in the dimunition in the num-
Der of criminals.
The congress later adopted the report
OF the committee on organization, ia
voring the establishment of a perma-
ternational bureau of information and
recommending ''in view of the great
emigration of Europeans to America.
enabling concentrated capitalism to re-
duce wages and overcome the working
mems resistance of oppression and
degradation" that arrangements be
made to distribute to emigrants social
list literature and information in vari-
Gus languages, to enable them to join
the organization.
A discussion of the abolition of stand
ing armies and the substitution for
them of international arbitration was
then discussed at length. Many dele
gates opposed the abolition of standing
armies, claiming it would place the
proletariat more in the power of the
upper classes.
An English delegate, Mrs. Black,
dwelt upon the Importance of the pros
pective arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain and proposed
that the congress send word to those
wretched fellows, Salisbury and Olney,
that the congress insists upon this ar
bitration.''
MIR. Samuel. an American delegate.
contended that congress ought not to
pay much attention to the proposed ar
bitration between Great Britain and
the United States, asserting that the
middle classes would never resort to
arbitration unless there was more
money in it than there was.
Mrs. Backs proposition was not
adopted.
The report of the commission was
then passed in favor of the abolition
of standing armies and the estab-
lishment of a tribunal of arbitration
whose decision should be final and
whose duties it should be to regulate
disputes between nations, adding that
the request Of war or peace should rest
with the people where the govern
n2ents refuse to accept the award of
the tribunal of arbitration and also
protesting against secret societies, de-
claring that the workingulan can only
obtain the objects enumerated by
gaining control of the legislation and
allying themselves with the interna-
tional socialist movement.

MADISON, Wis, July 91.-The politi-
cal campaign OF 1896 was opened in the
west today in the presence of 5000 peo-
PIE, Senator John M. Thurston of Ne
braska and Clarence S. barrow of Chi
caSo, for two and a half hours present
ms the respective sides of the currency
question. Each talked for an hour and
quarter. During the course of his
speech, Senator Thurston said:
l happened to hear Bryan four years
ago in the congressional campaign in
my state l pledge you, my country
men, and it is a solemn fact, that from
the beginning of that campaign to the
emu, William j. Bryan advocated no
other issue, made no other argument,
than the tariff. Four years ago l heard
William j. Bryan say TO a great aud
fence in my state: Give us free trade,
and the American workingmans wages
will go up But they went down; he
said, give us free trade and business

After depicting the evils which he
believed would follow the adoption of
laws for the free coinage of silver, Sen
ator Thurston added:

RESULTS OF OPEN AIR LIFE.

Women will have to organize a new
crusade against wrinkles and the leath-
erlike growing-old sort of look of the
skin if they persist in following up all
the open-air pursuits which belong to
mans kingdom. Fresh air in all kinds
of weather may be conducive to health,
but it is very trying to delicate skins.
Women who row and ride bicycles
should substitute oatmeal or boiled
bread and milk for sop. The dry skin
is especially sensitive to the effects of
sun and air and needs all the precau-
tons it is possible to find to keep it
smooth and white. Potatoes boiled in
milk are said to be very effective in
whitening and softening the skin, and
almond meal should be on every toilet
table

THE OLD RUMOR.
VICTORIA TO RETIRE IN FAVOR OF
ALBERT EDWARD.
Such Reports Have Before Been Cir
cuIated and Denied, But There
May Be Some Truth in the Last
One.

LONDON, July 91.-A rurnor that Queen
Victoria intends to retire in favor of the
Prince Of Wales is again current today
1t is added that court circles are greatly
troubled regarding the condition of the
queens health. Such reports have fire.
Quently appeared in recent years, only to
be semi officially contradicted later, but
it now seems that there may be some
actual foundation for the statements
made. 1t is added that her majesty has
decided to spend her time in future at
Balmoral or Osborne, and will give the
Prince and Princess of Wales the use of
Buckingham palace and Windsor castle.
There is no doubt the queen seems to
feel greatly the weight of her years and
bereavements. Her majesty is quoted
as having repeatedly remarked during
her stay at Buckingham palace upon the
occasion of the recent marriage of Prin-
cess Maud of Wales to Prince Charles of
Denmark: This is my last visit to Lon
DON" Color is given to the rumors n
circulation by the deep emotion displayed
by the queen as she bowed in reply to the
enthusiastic cheers of the multitudes
which lined the route from Buckingham
palace to the railroad station where she
took the train for Windor after the mar
riage ceremony.

THE CENTER OF INTEREST To-
DAY
was the improvised morgue and a
strange spectacle for this city of pro-
verbal gaiety was the continual pro-
ceSsion of undertaker's wagons bowl
ing along Atlantic avenue, the princi-
pal thoroughfare, carrying bodies TO
that place and later to the PennSyl-
Vania. railroad station. Inside the
moTgue tragic scenes were being en-
acted throughout the day. Scenes OF
like character We're occurring at the
same time at the Sanitarium, where
the injured lie and where three died
today. Almost every incoming train
brought crowds of grief stricken rela-
tives and friends and as the darkness
came on, 1T is safe to assert that it
found answer in darkness in the hearts
of many thousands here.
A PATHETIC FACT
which has come to light is that the
rum which ended Engineer Fairs
life was to have ended his career as a,
raiiroader and established him and his
wife as storekeepers today.
The man who accompanied Farr on
the last run and who was also killed,
was to have succeeded him on the en-

ticles to be advertised and more
thought should be given to advertise
ments to bring trade to your store, but,
however you may view this subject, do
not in any circumstances drop your
advertising entirely.
Advertising to a large extent is GU
mulative in it's benefits, for the value
Of present advertising depends largely
upon what has been done before. If
you discontinue advertising entirely
you are leaving out some of the bricks
in the wall which you are constructing
and will lose a large portion of the
benefits of accumulative advertise
ments when you begin again, there
having been a disconnection in what
you did before and that which you now
intend to do.
The benefits to be derived from adj
vertising are in the future as we'll as
what you may get at the present Adj
vertising is something like making a
snowball-the farther you go the big
ger it grows. If, after you have rolled
your SNOWFALL a little distance, you
stop rolling it and begin another one.
you are exDending an extra labor in
stead of accommodating, while if you
had kept on rolling the old ball it
would soon grow to much larger pro-
portions than any new one you could
start.
1t is poor policy ever to stop adver-
Using altogether. In dull times, as we
have said, if the amount expended
must be decreased more care than ever
should be used in the operation of the
advertisements. When the fish is
harder to catch, be more careful in Sc
lecting your bait.
The way to advertise is an import
ant point to consider. In dull times
make your offerings just as attractive
as you know how and advertise sea-
sonable goods such as will be of i'm
mediate use. 1t is hard enough to sell
unreasonable goods when people buy
freely, but it is much harder to push
them in unfavorable times.-Dry Goods
