Business men often complain that
many who should be their custom
ers send away and get their goods
when the home merchant stands
ready to furnish the same or bet
ter goods for the same money.
Now whose fault is this? The Gus
toner always sends in answer to an
advertisement and while he may
be losing money by the deal, be
doesn't know it, for if the home
merchant won't advertise what can
he do but leave his goods on the
shelves fer the customers to come
aud find out, what he can do?
Many merchants pretend to believe
that advertising in home papers
don't pay, and yet they are kicking
all the time because some adverti-
ser is getting their trade State

Tired Eye~.

An ingenious invention, lately placed
on the market by Glasgow journalist.
is attracting considerable attention
among those whose daily pursuits
strain the eye. The inventor, having
overworked his eyes until he could
use them only with the greatest diff
Guilty, at last hit upon the plan of
putting several strips OF different COL
ored paper near his inkstand so that
every time he reached for ink his eyes
fell on them. The owners of the pat
ent claims that not only were his eyes
relieved but his sight improved by this
simple device. Just why is for an
oculist to explain. The scheme is be-
ing well advertised, and will doubtless
reach America in time If successful
the journalist has accidentally assum-
ed the role of d-benefactor. as
dozens of trades besides that of en-
Tightening the public have tendency
to strain the eye.
