When Mr.. and Mrs. Callboard re.

settled right down to housekeeping.
Happier doves never nestled in n lat.
and Mrs. Ca'lboard determined to make
home happy for Charley from the start.
No future misunderstanding should

THE Way 10 Reach the People.
Des Moines Register: That the
newspaper is the best mean of reach
ing the people is being more conclu.
Fively shown every day, and the busi-
hess men who advertise are coming to
\ stronger realization of the fact that
he newspaper is the best field for ad-
ertising. One of the Cleveland, o.,
papers tells the story of how one man
n that city has learned his lesson, and
t says:
Manager Hartz of the Euclid Ave-
ue opera house believes he has dem
nstrated the superiority Of newspa-
Der advertising over all other forms.
.ast week he decided to abandon all
dvertising by mean of billboard
fosters and window hangers and to
epend upon the newspapers entirely.
he only posters shown were those at
he entrance to the theater. The re-
llt Of the experiment was gratifying.
(onight Julia Marlowe began a weeks
Engagement and the house was sold
ut, it was said, before the perform
nee began. Mr.. Hartz has decided
put up no more posters"
If q theatrical manager Gun depend
blely upon newspaper advertising:
that business is there that cannot dc
be am thing to it's advantage? AS
here is now no question in the minds.
sntt posted men that they must adver.
e in order to succeed in business, so
erc8is a growing conviction, and one
t will ultimately be just as strong,
It the newspaper is the best me-
N for that advertising.

Here the sardines are spread upon

Then they are cleaned, and when that
operation is finished they are sorted
by little boys and carried into another
part of the establishment, where they
are put in pickle.
After this the fish are washed and
placed, n by one. with great care,
wire nets, called .'grills," and put
out to dry in the open air. If the

The tins in which the sardines are
then packed are carried to the oiling

consists of filing them with oil. 1t is
in this part of the establishment that
the tomato sauce and the spices arc
placed in the boxes which give to the
French preparation of saraines their
universal renown.
In any one of the above important
