Acquired Wisdom.

Two years ago his business
Was very, very bad
He said twas money wasted
Invested in an ad.
But he at last consented
An ad. to give trial,
Although he said 'twould only
Decrease his little pile,
Last year his business doubled,
Much to his surprise;
And now he never overlookS
A chance to advertise.

Advertising Does 1t.

The best book ever witten would
never sell if someone did not either see
lit or hear of it in one way or other.
Neither will any other article sell un-
less the public is brought into contact
with it. Advertising is the thing
which brings the purchaser and the
advertised article together.

The War Department has recently
been making some tests OF emergency
rations for soldiers. Details of cavalry
regiments have been subjected to such
hardships as they would have to en-
counter in active service on rations
prepared by manufacturers of food
supplies. These rations either sickened
or weakened the soldiers after two or
three days trial. The best ration was
found to be one devised by the army
officers themselves, consisting of on'
pound of raw lean beef and one pound
of good bread, seasoned with salt and
red pepper, eaten dry without cook
ing. One pound weight of this mix
ture will sustain soldier for twenty
four hours without loss OF yigor.

The fatal result Of the fire in the
Fredonia Normal School bears plain
lesson. 1t is thai the object of fire es-
capes is to aid escape from fires. They
are supposed TO be for other than or

were barred Ito keep pupils from
going out at night" 1t appears that,
according to some authorities, one OF
the ways to keep pupils from going
out at night is to burn them to death.

of Turin, averred that Physical edit

for the development of the muscles

The Centre Democrat gives one rea-
son, which we have not seen elsewhere
advanced, for the falling off Of popula-
tion in farming counties, remarks the
Philadelphia Record. 1t says that tse
machinery used by farmers in planting
and harvesting their crops has dis
placed manual labor to such an extent
as to, compel a considerable number of
young men to seek other employment.
This is no doubt true The machines
also operate to discourage the eultira-
ton of small farms The lands year
by year fall into the hands of a more
restricted ownership

After six months investigation of
the saloon problem in Chicago, Pro
fessor Royal Loren Melendy makes a
plea for increased opportunity fo-
recreation. as an ethical substitute for
the saloon. Other remedies suggested
by him are model tenement houses 10
creased facilities for obtaining cheap
and wholesome food, and such necessi'
ties ;as public toilet conveniences. Labor
bureaus, and public parks. Much OF
the popularity Of the saloon he ascribes
te the social feature and the free-lunch
system. The social feature, he argues,
can be duplicated in elub-rooms under
proper direction, and where the visi-
tors must not be affected with the feel
ing that the men conducting the club
are better than they are. For the
free-luneh attraction he would substi-
tute better facilities for the cheap
service of food similar TO those en-
ployed by the London coffee-houses.
This service Of free lunch in the sa-
looms demonstrates the possibility OF
serving satisfactory meal at price
not much, If any, in excess of that
paid by the frequenter of the free,
lunch counter for the beer be con
