Prof. Gautier Of the Institute OF
France has isolated the bacteria OF
physical fatigue" and finds It a poison
strongly resembling p.es.a!ne poison In
nature" Instead Of really becoming
tired one develops ptomaines and they
make him think he is tired. The pro-
fessor's next step is strictly logical.
He proposes by the use of disinfect-
ants to destroy the ptomaines general
ed and thus avoid that tired feeling.
In this way, no longer suffering from
wear and tear, man need neither weak
IN nor age. Suppose the professor had
. cord of wood to saw. AS he pro-
ceeds to wiggle the bucksaw up and
down. he suddenly detects the effects
OF ptomaine poison in his system. He
ealshes to little cavity In the wood
pile and drags therefrom small bottle
OF disinfectant with which he treats
the ptomaines, thus relieving his ia
tigue. As we read the professors the
DRY and remedy given in recent num-
her II the London Express. we detect
the -evelopment Of ptomaines in our
system.

Of that time show how recently adver-
Using, as we know 1t, has developed.
A retail hardware house in an Eastern
city once found itself possessed Of ten
times the number Of articles of a GER
tain kind that 1t had intended to buy.
AS they had been ordered especially
for new hotel, and were Of a peculiar
design, there seemed to be no way of
disposing Of them except at a merely
nominal sum. One of the younger men
connected with the concern offered to
"move them" at fair price, provided
he be permitted to advertise. The sug-
gestion encountered much opposition,
but finally small sum was set apart
to carry 1t out. The advertisement was
drafted In an attractive way and the
people soon began to buy the new mr.
ticle. Finally the house was obliged
to send to the manufacturers for more.
When the next seasons trade opened.
the member Of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better write
out few notices land put them in the
papers," From such beginnings the
advertising practice has come. Thous-
ands Of dollars are now spent, not only
In advertising itself, but in devising
clever catch words, ingenious phrases
and illustrations which will stick in the
memory OF the reader, as well as new
general methods. No doubt money may
be wasted In ineffective advertising. or
In advertising worthless goods. But

where there is In IN article q happy
